    Dumb question but wouldn't the game using your preferred pronouns actually add to the immersion?

    Yes. His rant about immersion makes no sense. Also ranting about "current day" over and over again as if California invented gendered pronouns in 2020 and they wouldn't exist in the future?

    It seems to me that he is so caught up in the culture war news cycle that he is unable to understand that these things exist outside of that and his brain is unable to process the word "pronouns" without thinking of Steven Crowder. Like some kind of twisted pavlovian response.

      This right here is really probably what it is. Why weren't these incels throwing hissy fits about picking genders pre-2020? Like, idk you could pick your gender in Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowwind, and any other Bethesda game. Does Starfield allow for [they/them] because if that is the only difference, then it's absolutely a Pavlovian response caused by shit like Chowder, Carlson, Shapiro, et al. And it's frankly disgusting. And I guess back to the old question, do these people not recall learning about pronouns in their language arts classes back in school before they dropped out? Gonna find out if this person has Twitch account and gonna hop in chat and start calling him "her".
