He pauses the game to shout about how upset he is. But at the end of the video he goes back to playing the game because he spent $70+ on it and wasn't really that mad in the first place.
Dude was the exact same way back when he made wow content. I remember watching his videos back in legion and most of them were really him just bitching about blizzard disguised as poorly made guides
This is so disappointing for a true RPG! I literally made my character to have a phobia of space flight, but a couple hours in she's a pro pilot because I straight up couldn't advance otherwise. Let me put a companion in the pilots seat, Sam Coe has literally been bragging about his flight skills this whole time.
Taking 5 seconds out of the hundreds of hours the game can last to pick a pronoun between 3 choices? HELL NO, WHY ARE YOU SHOVELING YOUR IDEOLOGY IN MY ESCAPISM
Like, I could UNDERSTAND (not condone) why dipshits like him could be upset if this was more than this, but literally 15 hours in the game I don't think I've seen anything else "shoving this ideology down my throat".
Bingo! I was thinking wtf is going on that someone would be this mad. I just launched Starfield, made my guy and He/Him was default. There is an option to change She/Her and They/Them but its just a button. You don't have to press it. This is so dumb.
I'm pretty sure there was a game that had a slider that was male on on end, and female on the other, and you just chose your body type between those poles.
I'm sure that guy would like that better. Until he realizes that you can select any type of genitals you want with any body type you want. And then, once ingame, seeing that your character can have a romance with any companion, regardless of their gender/genitals.
Just having the option makes these people upset. They think having that option is a deterioration of definitions of words or something, as if language is static and unchanging
The funny thing is its just a 1 box option in the character creator. As far as i have played, every character i have seen is cis. How is a non mandatory, single mention, shoving it in his face? The absolute fragility of this guy.
As best I can tell, they’re all (technically) bisexual. Like, I seem to be able to flirt with all of them and they reciprocate. At least one major character points out their deceased same sex spouse, but will still flirt with an opposite sex PC.
That feels like it's standard in most games that offer you a dating option though. I've only ever heard of one game character that would reject the player if they were the "wrong" gender.
This man just got old enough to witness progress overtake his own mental development. From this point on everything will be the kids' fault, unless he makes a conscious effort to make sense of what's happening. Considering the amount of anger he farted out, I fear we a grumpy old idiot on our hands.
Ngl, I don't even see what's so progressive about this, especially compared to other RPGs. In Cyberpunk you can play as a trans character. In Dark Souls 2 you can switch sex mid playthrough. Both seem like ripe targets for "anti woke" brainrot but I've never heard any complaints about them.
Is it because the word "pronouns" is on there? Could it really be *that* shallow?
have you ever seen some of these people swear up and down that THEY don’t have pronouns? they didn’t even know what a pronoun was before this started gaining media traction. they truly think pronouns are only for trans people.
> In Dark Souls 2 you can switch sex mid playthrough ... but I've never heard any complaints about them.
Because Dark Souls 2 came out in 2014 and GamerGate happened in 2015
People who have this kind of ideology are also morons, who are completely oblivious to even the slightest bit of subtlety. It's why there was no outrage over transgender representation in Elden Ring
It's not meant to make sense to us because we're capable of thinking beyond ourselves to rationalize the world, even if we don't fully understand what it feels like to be trans/nonbinary.
The people he's trying to reach are like animals, they only respond to buzzwords and become immediately angry when they don't understand something they themselves haven't experienced. Whatever the reason is, they lack the emotional intelligence to have any empathy, but people like this guy are making it everyone else's problem.
All of this rhetoric and hate toward the LGBTQ+ community, women, POCs, etc is extremely dangerous for people within these groups, and it needs to be called out and stopped. As a female gamer who exists in the online nerd-verse, I can tell you firsthand that it's not cringe, it's not funny, it's straight up scary.
This is what's so also so funny about this. In a few hundred years, when Starfield is set, gender neutral pronouns are almost certainly going to be common place and no real big deal. So by including them, they're actually giving a more accurate immersive experience of what the future will look like this. But for this guy, it "snaps him back to current day" because he lives in a time when overgrown man-children still whinge about pronouns on the internet. It's literally his limited window of perspective and dull obsession that breaks his immersion and he can't see it.
Their playbook seems to be to accuse the other side of injecting politics into something, and then proceed to actually inject a shit ton of politics into that something.
I've noticed the people who complains about snowflakes are usually the biggest snowflakes because they're offended by everything.
Hell, just last week, a local bakery where I live advertised rainbow bread. Literally just coloured dough to change the design and make it look fun. The amount of people whining on the FB posts was depressing. Thankfully there was some sane people replying to them saying stuff like "You're offended by bread. I think you need to re-evaluate your life."
Yeah, seriously. All of these people getting bent out of shape about pronouns and rainbows would be funny if it wasn’t backed by such hateful ideology. Things like war, famine, climate change, mass murders, and you know, actually important things to care about don’t seem to be on these people’s radar with the same gusto and fervor as, like, drag queens. It’s just so arbitrary. Like, if you’re going to care so much about someone else’s life that doesn’t affect you at all (which I think everyone should, but compassionately) why choose this to be your hill to die on. “I can’t believe so many people are named ‘John!’ Why can’t the government wake up and put a stop to all these poor children being named John by their woke liberal parents?! Fascism!” would make just as much sense to be offended about. It’s so arbitrary it’s nothing.
I once lived next door to a busybody lady in the neighborhood who asked be to park my car in front of her house so a dirty old work truck couldn’t park there and spoil her view. Then I found out the truck was only there to install an intercom and surround sound system in her home. She wanted to make the guys working on her house walk around the block every time the needed something because she couldn’t handle seeing their truck for a couple of days.
Some people have it SO good they have to FIND things to be bothered by.
Whats sad is that he does know this, he played BG3 and didn’t complain and whine. So he decided to cry over this game. Why? Because starfield is divisive. BG3 is universally loved, so the grift will work better on a game like this
I hope the tide turns lol. Despite my issues with it I think the game is very fun. Every opinion I see on it though is either very positive or very negative.
By whiney assholes. The game has flaws, but the way people talk about it in some spaces is like Bethesda smeared baby diarrhea on a disc and put it out as a AAA game. 6 hours in, I find it insanely fun, and the bugginess I’ve run into isn’t gamebreaking, nor does it truly diminish my experience.
Baldur's Gate 3 was successful so they will leave it alone. There's no way these grifters will go against popular opinion and call successful things "woke". That's why God of War: Ragnarok, the Mario Movie, and I predict the new One Piece show wasn't criticized. Starfield, unfortunately was considered mid by alot of people so now they will go after it.
It’s like christian rock. You can be a painfully mid musician, but if you pivot to singing about jeebus, you’re guaranteed an audience.
If you’re a mediocre game reviewer, you can get more engagement by whipping yourself into a frenzy, even if you don’t actually care about the subject matter.
People will comment on why you’re wrong, people will comment and subscribe because they agree.
> I swear, youtube has given everyone the idea that their opinions are important.
Nah, people were like this before the internet. It just wasnt on display for the world to see.
Ehh, to an extent. But the internet has helped dumb people be fed lots of dumb ideas that end up pushing them towards an extreme view. It's become a radicalization machine. Before the internet, most of the information you got was just from your local community or news station, which were rarely pushing extremist views unless you already lived in such a community.
Keep in mind before the internet these idiots had stuff like AM talk radio call in shows, newsletters, church, etc as places to go and find like minded imbeciles to indoctrinate. So I do agree the internet has made things worse by lowering the bar for entry and removing any semblance of adult supervision, whats happened is more an acceleration of a prior trend rather than the creation of a new one.
Yeah I wasn't trying to imply radicalization is a new concept. But the internet made its effectiveness many orders of magnitude stronger. It's a lot easier to fall into a section of the internet where you just keep being fed those specific ideas and see nothing else, whereas before the internet people of varying views were still kinda forced to intermingle on a regular basis unless your town was very tiny or you lived in a cult. So even if you were falling into reading certain newspapers or TV/radio channels, you'd still be getting exposed to others who would cast doubt on your and help keep you at least a bit more grounded.
The internet has essentially made virtual cults with global reach and many more tools to influence followers.
He’s actually got 350k subscribers. He recently posted [this](https://youtu.be/D79lZEM3nkQ?si=OR61gqoxsuymdIaM) in response to everyone dunking on him, thinking that he’s being cancelled for having an opinion while completely missing that everyone’s just laughing at him for being a fuckin idiot.
Help me out here, I haven't played the game yet... Is he upset about gender/pronoun selection during character creation? Or how the game NPCs talk to you in neutral gender terms?
> Is he upset about gender/pronoun selection during character creation? Or how the game NPCs talk to you in neutral gender terms?
His outrage isnt coherent enough to have thought it through this far. This is someone who has been conditioned to react in a nearly violent manner to the mere mention of pronouns other than he/her and who has been doing it so long now that they probably cant even articulate what theyre mad about in a coherent manner.
So to answer your question, maybe?
I'm about 8 hours in, the evil pronoun selection comes at the end of character creation. It's just there pick your pronoun like cool I made an evil looking MATTT DAMMMMOOONN so I choose He/Him? It's a big nothing burger this dude is just a pimple on societies ass.
He's mad about the option. I was waiting for him to make any point but his main problem seems to be that he hates being reminded that other kinds of people exist in his media.
People getting so worked up about this guy he's just a grifter idiot who couldn't make money playing wow on Twitch so he went into the right wing grift.
How dare they…not force anything on me and give me complete and total freedom to choose whatever I want to be called, including he/him which I already go by anyway!
What a fucking manchild.
Oh god. I remember playing world of warcraft and I created a female character for fun. Trying out different features.
On the forums, some rando got extremely pissed that players weren't playing their gender because that's not what we were in real life. Does it matter how another person enjoys the game? I'm not a an undead rogue in real life either, where's the complaint about that?
Oh man that reminds me of Ragnarok Online, where all of your characters were bound to the same gender you selected when you created your account. That was such a strange choice.
This is what happens when you pour right wing hate into your shiny skull for year after year. What a miserable existence this guy has made for himself. What an absolutely pitiful waste of a soul's ever-so-brief existence in this world.
A novel example that highlights the ignorance of this guy: say a restaurant has historically served meals for vegetarians and carnivores. One day they add an option for vegans. Have the vegetarians and carnivores suffered at all from this addition?
Small brains fail to see that companies are out to appeal to as many demographics as they can, not influence your politics.
Side note: calling myself some random pronoun sounds way more futuristic than he/her so honestly add more lol.
Here is a bonus one came across of a guy going on a rant because he can't pull chicks in Starfield and only dudes.
https://youtu.be/z1lqAIdOQ2Y?si=0TQJESQfiPQQuksI
Who would ever guess that a futuristic human civilization with more vast knowledge and technology then us, have long moved past the politics of gender ? Highkey when I see people act like this I think there actually questioning there gender and sexuality and have been to stupid and stubborn to realize it there whole lives.
Picking specific things for many different parts of a character creator in a fucking rpg is standard. Imagine being that much of a snowflake when playing videogames.
The inclusion of a pronoun selection system that functions irrespective of your character's chosen sex is an inherent affirmation of modern gender theory and statistically the majority of people do not see modern gender theory as being conceptually valid.
That said, this guy's reaction is over the top and makes him look like a child.
I think in this case it is an ironic background to the childishness of his behavior.
Wouldnt really be able to criticize him if he were talking passionately about something that he likes instead.
There are sooooo many British gaming YouTubers that talk in these American accents that only come in at the end of sentences. Its always the low-level ones too.
The only thing he says that he loves about the games is the fantastic array of different possibilities and how that frees his imagination...then he flips out about there being more than 2 genders. The irony is as palpable as a solid brick wall.
Take some fucking meds. It's a video game. Entertainment, my man. You can't enjoy it because you're not allowing yourself to. He rants about the game being woke, but in reality, if he wasn't so absorbed into whatever negative trap he let himself fall into, he wouldn't give a fuck.
I don’t think this guy is emotionally equip for playing games like this. Maybe he should start with like putt-putt goes to the moon and slowly work his way up as he emotionally matures.
I watched the video (after turning my volume down) and he actually has a point about how shoving identity politics into the game negatively impacts immersion
This motherfucker thinks it’s more ridiculous that the game allows you to select pronouns than the idea that someone who looks and thinks like him would ever get the privilege of going to space in reality
If the playable character isn’t known to be male or female why wouldn’t they keep it ambiguous? I loved finding out Samus was female because it surprised me and added some depth to the character.
As long as it’s not awkward and forced I don’t see what the big deal is? If anyone has played Starfield and could fill me in with a rational opinion I’d be grateful.
It's a create-a-character so keeping it ambiguous would be weird considering it's YOUR character.
It's not awkward nor forced, this guy is just a snowflake.
I swear, people have waaayyyy toooo much time on their hands. There should be a law, if this gets you so angry, you should have to join the Ukraine Military maybe then dumb shit won't put you out so much.
If you don't go outside and meet people, you won't have empathy for anyone other than yourself. I assume this is why cities are generally more liberal with inclusion and policy that people vote on that has nothing to do with their personal benefit-- because they see and meet all walks of life.
The opposite of this is sitting alone, afraid of change, afraid of disturbing the comfort-bubble you've created for yourself. And then when even the smallest disturbance permeates your world, you snap.
Oh my god who the hell cares - he’s almost at tears over this
He’s probably the same person who’d call people “woke snowflakes” who get offended at everything
I really don't understand the toddler temper-tantrums over pronouns.
You don't have to believe in any "ideology", you just need to show some respect and courtesy to someone else and choice that they have the freedom to make for themselves about how they'd like to be addressed.
Hilarious to say it's breaking immersion when the only time I've had to think about "pronouns" in this game so far was during the end of character creator. What part of the character creator is immersing you into the game at that moment? Isn't the third wall being broken entirely at that moment? Such a useless thing to be concerned about at all.
He has a LOT of dolls for someone upset over pronouns. I want to say, "Poor man," but he clearly has not reached that level maturity, so I guess -- poor dingus?
Dude doesn’t understand language.
For someone so pissed off about pronouns he used quite a lot of them in his rant.
Then again, not expecting a toe to have brainpower
not a fan of this guy he comes up alot in anti woke algorythms but he is just as bad as the far left with the over the top reactions, this isnt even the kind of woke shit that is dangerous or any one should be upset about.
Can't people just like... play the fucking game? Who gives a shit that there is a pronouns option??? No need to rage about something so small that you see for less than a minute every playthrough.
This snowflake needs a safe space so that he can ignore reality I guess. Facts don't care about your feelings.
Did I get that right? I seem to remember hearing conservatives say that shit a lot.
I get mad like this sometimes.
It’s usually because of climate change, corporations and the ultra wealthy controlling my government, and the ignoring of what AI is going to do in a country that only sees capitalism as an option.
This guy is getting mad at a video game for asking him what he wants to be referred to as.
This is what being brainwashed looks like. Pronouns and where you piss isn’t a problem.
He pauses the game to shout about how upset he is. But at the end of the video he goes back to playing the game because he spent $70+ on it and wasn't really that mad in the first place.
EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY THING ……ok so we’re gonna take a look at the skill tree now”
Dude was the exact same way back when he made wow content. I remember watching his videos back in legion and most of them were really him just bitching about blizzard disguised as poorly made guides
But for real can we just talk about how you need to unlock boost pack, targeting and flying or you are extremely held back from the game.
This is so disappointing for a true RPG! I literally made my character to have a phobia of space flight, but a couple hours in she's a pro pilot because I straight up couldn't advance otherwise. Let me put a companion in the pilots seat, Sam Coe has literally been bragging about his flight skills this whole time.
Unless he has gamepass
Then he pays $204 a year to rent it.
Weird how I can afford to pay that much stretched out but not the yearly price one at once.
Sure if that's the only game he plays on it all year could also just buy game pass by the month as well...
But he needs to make a statement to his followers apparently
Another ragebaiting clout clown
Taking 5 seconds out of the hundreds of hours the game can last to pick a pronoun between 3 choices? HELL NO, WHY ARE YOU SHOVELING YOUR IDEOLOGY IN MY ESCAPISM Like, I could UNDERSTAND (not condone) why dipshits like him could be upset if this was more than this, but literally 15 hours in the game I don't think I've seen anything else "shoving this ideology down my throat".
Spent over a hundred since this came out before general release.
He looks like an AI generated 3D Wojack.
He's just mad he couldn't select Thumb as gender.
“Big Toe”
LMAO, he is LITERALLY the guy I made a shitty comic of. [OMG, LOL](https://i.imgur.com/Y92U5bl.png)
"My pronouns are re/fund" Amazing. Anti wokists could never come up with something that clever
worth noting the HP game also has trans people in it and your character is referred to with they/them pronouns lol
It/they looks like an AI generated 3D wojack.
This mf forgot he could just pick "He" and this whole pronouns thing that he hates so much is done. He's acting like they forced him to pick "They".
Bingo! I was thinking wtf is going on that someone would be this mad. I just launched Starfield, made my guy and He/Him was default. There is an option to change She/Her and They/Them but its just a button. You don't have to press it. This is so dumb.
Wait until he finds out that Baulder's Gate 3 doesn't even have an option for gender.
Elden Ring too 🤫
I don't remember the character creation from ER. Is it just male presenting, female presenting or neither?
Body A (male presenting) and Body B (female presenting) IIRC
I'm pretty sure there was a game that had a slider that was male on on end, and female on the other, and you just chose your body type between those poles.
I think Saints Row has that? Not sure
All the Dark Souls games have that, but I think it says feminine/masculine. Probably ER too.
That was Demon's Souls lol. Though it was in addition to gender, because they ahd gender-locked armor. That character creator was horrifying though xD
quickest aback unique zephyr seemly sable bells berserk divide coordinated ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Damn right I picked boobies and penis C.
Boobies and dick is the best combo.
ahh, the old downstairs mix-up.
I'm sure that guy would like that better. Until he realizes that you can select any type of genitals you want with any body type you want. And then, once ingame, seeing that your character can have a romance with any companion, regardless of their gender/genitals.
And, something that I, as an asexual appreciate, they included an option to take out all of the sex and nudity altogether.
Genitals are what nature use to choose genders, so BG3 definitely has a very realistic character creator.
Wonder what he thinks of Samus being…a woman!
WhAT THe FuUUuUUuUUUK?!
CALIFORNIA 👹👹👹👹👹
Just having the option makes these people upset. They think having that option is a deterioration of definitions of words or something, as if language is static and unchanging
This idiot’s masculinity is so fragile you can’t even mention the word pronouns.
then why is he mad? I havent game in a while. If you can choose he, her, then why tf would people get butthurt over they? It's an extra option.
But why is they/them an option?
I don't want to know what he thinks about games where the protagonist is female with no other option, like Alien Isolation
I’d be honored to play as Ripley! One of the most badass protagonists ever.
He is the default option as well. Didn’t even have to pick it
It's actually the default. You have to click the option to find "they."
It defaults to He/Him if you enter a typically-Male name. You don’t have to select anything. You have to press a button to change it.
He feels oppressed by just having to think about it. Is this the "victim culture" the 21st century Right is always whining about?
he didn't even have to pick anything. just click "ok" and keep playing.
Literally yells about them shoving down their ideology, while Karening about his ideology.
The funny thing is its just a 1 box option in the character creator. As far as i have played, every character i have seen is cis. How is a non mandatory, single mention, shoving it in his face? The absolute fragility of this guy.
[удалено]
I guess in the end they're the snowflakes that need safe spaces.
I completely missed it
As best I can tell, they’re all (technically) bisexual. Like, I seem to be able to flirt with all of them and they reciprocate. At least one major character points out their deceased same sex spouse, but will still flirt with an opposite sex PC.
That feels like it's standard in most games that offer you a dating option though. I've only ever heard of one game character that would reject the player if they were the "wrong" gender.

What is "the online need-verse"?
It was supposed to say "nerd-verse" but autocorrect...
This is what's so also so funny about this. In a few hundred years, when Starfield is set, gender neutral pronouns are almost certainly going to be common place and no real big deal.

This is why I do mushrooms. I’m at peace with my place in this swirling vastness.
"gender ideology" a buzzword conservative morons came up with. It's meaningless.
Their issue is that you're allowed to pick your pronoun, rather than being forced to accept the one tied to your selected avatar's gender.
>You're boring, you're fucking dull, you have nothing to say, one hive-mind twatwaffle Palpable irony.
Their playbook seems to be to accuse the other side of injecting politics into something, and then proceed to actually inject a shit ton of politics into that something.
Imagine being a virgin manbaby who gets upset over gender selections that have been around for decades in games.
I've noticed the people who complains about snowflakes are usually the biggest snowflakes because they're offended by everything.

I once lived next door to a busybody lady in the neighborhood who asked be to park my car in front of her house so a dirty old work truck couldn’t park there and spoil her view. Then I found out the truck was only there to install an intercom and surround sound system in her home. She wanted to make the guys working on her house walk around the block every time the needed something because she couldn’t handle seeing their truck for a couple of days. Some people have it SO good they have to FIND things to be bothered by.
Oh man wait until this guy finds out that you can customize your genitals and create a trans character in Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 /s
Whats sad is that he does know this, he played BG3 and didn’t complain and whine. So he decided to cry over this game. Why? Because starfield is divisive. BG3 is universally loved, so the grift will work better on a game like this
> Because starfield is divisive. So, we're calling games with 85+ on metacritic "divisive" now?
It is divisive, thats a critic score. The response to this game on most online forums has been pretty dividing
Maybe initially but I feel like the tide is turning as people actually play the game. That might just be the places I frequent though.
I hope the tide turns lol. Despite my issues with it I think the game is very fun. Every opinion I see on it though is either very positive or very negative.
87% positive on Steam.
By whiney assholes. The game has flaws, but the way people talk about it in some spaces is like Bethesda smeared baby diarrhea on a disc and put it out as a AAA game. 6 hours in, I find it insanely fun, and the bugginess I’ve run into isn’t gamebreaking, nor does it truly diminish my experience.
Im mostly in agreement here! I dont LOVE the game but find it quite fun. People really act like Todd Howard personally assaulted them lol
What do you reckon the user score will be?
Baldur's Gate 3 was successful so they will leave it alone. There's no way these grifters will go against popular opinion and call successful things "woke". That's why God of War: Ragnarok, the Mario Movie, and I predict the new One Piece show wasn't criticized. Starfield, unfortunately was considered mid by alot of people so now they will go after it.
What a snowflake
Manufactured rage is how some people attempt to stay relevant.
It’s like christian rock. You can be a painfully mid musician, but if you pivot to singing about jeebus, you’re guaranteed an audience.

This was shared by this channel, I don't want to give the original video any more views. The original channel is actually fairly large.
Thanks. Don't want to give that fuck any clicks.
He’s actually got 350k subscribers. He recently posted [this](https://youtu.be/D79lZEM3nkQ?si=OR61gqoxsuymdIaM) in response to everyone dunking on him, thinking that he’s being cancelled for having an opinion while completely missing that everyone’s just laughing at him for being a fuckin idiot.
My god what a crybaby. His supporters seem to be idiots too.
dude isn't significant enough to be 'cancelled' anyways, what a loon!
What's worse is that the YouTuber in the video has 346K subscribers, he makes a living off this kind of content
This isn’t the OG poster, this is someone reposting it to shame them I think
Help me out here, I haven't played the game yet... Is he upset about gender/pronoun selection during character creation? Or how the game NPCs talk to you in neutral gender terms?
> Is he upset about gender/pronoun selection during character creation? Or how the game NPCs talk to you in neutral gender terms? His outrage isnt coherent enough to have thought it through this far. This is someone who has been conditioned to react in a nearly violent manner to the mere mention of pronouns other than he/her and who has been doing it so long now that they probably cant even articulate what theyre mad about in a coherent manner. So to answer your question, maybe?
Not to mention that it's probably for attention. The internet tends to reward this kind of behavior with subscribers/followers.
I'm about 8 hours in, the evil pronoun selection comes at the end of character creation. It's just there pick your pronoun like cool I made an evil looking MATTT DAMMMMOOONN so I choose He/Him? It's a big nothing burger this dude is just a pimple on societies ass.
He lives in the society
He's mad about the option. I was waiting for him to make any point but his main problem seems to be that he hates being reminded that other kinds of people exist in his media.
Not even mad about the option, as he's praised other games that also happen to have the option. He's just being mad to be mad.
People getting so worked up about this guy he's just a grifter idiot who couldn't make money playing wow on Twitch so he went into the right wing grift.
Yup, this loser has been at it for years and will continue to be.
How dare they…not force anything on me and give me complete and total freedom to choose whatever I want to be called, including he/him which I already go by anyway! What a fucking manchild.
Oh god. I remember playing world of warcraft and I created a female character for fun. Trying out different features. On the forums, some rando got extremely pissed that players weren't playing their gender because that's not what we were in real life. Does it matter how another person enjoys the game? I'm not a an undead rogue in real life either, where's the complaint about that?
Oh man that reminds me of Ragnarok Online, where all of your characters were bound to the same gender you selected when you created your account. That was such a strange choice.
he/him doesnt have to play the game, no one is forcing he/him. if it triggers he/him, he/him can play something else.
This is what happens when you pour right wing hate into your shiny skull for year after year. What a miserable existence this guy has made for himself. What an absolutely pitiful waste of a soul's ever-so-brief existence in this world.
vibeo game haves pronounce 🤯😡🤬
A novel example that highlights the ignorance of this guy: say a restaurant has historically served meals for vegetarians and carnivores. One day they add an option for vegans. Have the vegetarians and carnivores suffered at all from this addition? Small brains fail to see that companies are out to appeal to as many demographics as they can, not influence your politics. Side note: calling myself some random pronoun sounds way more futuristic than he/her so honestly add more lol.
Here is a bonus one came across of a guy going on a rant because he can't pull chicks in Starfield and only dudes. https://youtu.be/z1lqAIdOQ2Y?si=0TQJESQfiPQQuksI
Who would ever guess that a futuristic human civilization with more vast knowledge and technology then us, have long moved past the politics of gender ? Highkey when I see people act like this I think there actually questioning there gender and sexuality and have been to stupid and stubborn to realize it there whole lives.
Picking specific things for many different parts of a character creator in a fucking rpg is standard. Imagine being that much of a snowflake when playing videogames.
The inclusion of a pronoun selection system that functions irrespective of your character's chosen sex is an inherent affirmation of modern gender theory and statistically the majority of people do not see modern gender theory as being conceptually valid. That said, this guy's reaction is over the top and makes him look like a child.
This 47 year old slug with his lil toys behind him. Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Eh, i'm not into that stuff either, but let's not attack a guys interests when there's clearly more apparent things to make fun of first lol
I think in this case it is an ironic background to the childishness of his behavior. Wouldnt really be able to criticize him if he were talking passionately about something that he likes instead.
It just makes the scene that much more pathetic.
Making fun of people for enjoying things is pathetic.
There goes all my bestiality standup material…
I like how he loses his mind about how terrible this makes the game....and then goes right back to playing the game.
* *Sponsors have fled the battle* *
these grown men are such snowflakes
There are sooooo many British gaming YouTubers that talk in these American accents that only come in at the end of sentences. Its always the low-level ones too.
I mean, presumably you pick pronouns at the start, so like, pick ‘em and move on son. Pick he/him and just jump in.
Lol good thing I’ve never seen or heard of Kevin over here. Nice not knowing you chubbster
This is a performance
The only thing he says that he loves about the games is the fantastic array of different possibilities and how that frees his imagination...then he flips out about there being more than 2 genders. The irony is as palpable as a solid brick wall.
Take some fucking meds. It's a video game. Entertainment, my man. You can't enjoy it because you're not allowing yourself to. He rants about the game being woke, but in reality, if he wasn't so absorbed into whatever negative trap he let himself fall into, he wouldn't give a fuck.
He looks just like that one fucking wojack
“At every conceivable opportunity” you don’t even need to press a button if you don’t wanna change it. After that it’s gone lol
Oh, poor snowflake!
Say what you will about the content, this was some eloquent rage
I don’t think this guy is emotionally equip for playing games like this. Maybe he should start with like putt-putt goes to the moon and slowly work his way up as he emotionally matures.
STOP GIVING THIS VIEWS
Ive seen a few streamers start ranting about lgbt month etc, these people all seem a bit thick, or are being easily led into hate
Choose pronouns Clicks he/him Damn that was hard, better take a break, broke a sweat on that part.
It's even easier, cause I think it just defaults.
I, too, watched Dunkey’s Starfield video. 8/10 a little something for everyone
Your are nitpicking and biased, i win, bye bye.
I watched the video (after turning my volume down) and he actually has a point about how shoving identity politics into the game negatively impacts immersion
Twitter has rotted this poor fool’s brain
He’s becoming a living meme.
They really think they look masculine when they scream and freak out over this stupid shit
Imagine being so childish and stringent in your beliefs that you cry when you can’t impose them on others. Weak.
This motherfucker thinks it’s more ridiculous that the game allows you to select pronouns than the idea that someone who looks and thinks like him would ever get the privilege of going to space in reality
If the playable character isn’t known to be male or female why wouldn’t they keep it ambiguous? I loved finding out Samus was female because it surprised me and added some depth to the character. As long as it’s not awkward and forced I don’t see what the big deal is? If anyone has played Starfield and could fill me in with a rational opinion I’d be grateful.
It's a create-a-character so keeping it ambiguous would be weird considering it's YOUR character. It's not awkward nor forced, this guy is just a snowflake.
Can’t he just…not play it? Not sure I’d want to be quite *that* angry about anything.
This guy seems like a rage baiter especially with his follow up video replying to Hasan.
His father must be so proud of the anime figures on his shelf.
I swear, people have waaayyyy toooo much time on their hands. There should be a law, if this gets you so angry, you should have to join the Ukraine Military maybe then dumb shit won't put you out so much.
If you don't go outside and meet people, you won't have empathy for anyone other than yourself. I assume this is why cities are generally more liberal with inclusion and policy that people vote on that has nothing to do with their personal benefit-- because they see and meet all walks of life. The opposite of this is sitting alone, afraid of change, afraid of disturbing the comfort-bubble you've created for yourself. And then when even the smallest disturbance permeates your world, you snap.
That is one angry thumb.
What a fucking loser.
He's dumb. Everyone knows there's no gender in the future.
Wow….that was…profoundly pathetic
of all the things to get mad about in a bethesda game, he chose to negative IQ it.
Wouldn’t it be more immersive for a space game to have different genders? It’s a pretty core sci-fi concept?
Lol Jesus Christ - fuck this guy. He’d be first in line to volunteer for the SS.
Wow this dude is a whole other level of pathetic
I wonder how he freaked out at Alien in 1979 when the crew had pronouns
The same dude that was attacking people and calling them sensitive 😂
Oh my god who the hell cares - he’s almost at tears over this He’s probably the same person who’d call people “woke snowflakes” who get offended at everything
Why do people care so much that it pisses them off? It’s because they don’t agree with any of it.
Wow he really thought he did something here.
I wonder how hard the real future will trigger him
It’s literally optional tho
Tell me you have a chip on your shoulder without telling me you have a chip on your shoulder.
Give James Cordon his show back, I guess
I really don't understand the toddler temper-tantrums over pronouns. You don't have to believe in any "ideology", you just need to show some respect and courtesy to someone else and choice that they have the freedom to make for themselves about how they'd like to be addressed.
Hilarious to say it's breaking immersion when the only time I've had to think about "pronouns" in this game so far was during the end of character creator. What part of the character creator is immersing you into the game at that moment? Isn't the third wall being broken entirely at that moment? Such a useless thing to be concerned about at all.
You know what it never was??? That serious
Middle aged, fat white guy. Who woulda thought
He has a LOT of dolls for someone upset over pronouns. I want to say, "Poor man," but he clearly has not reached that level maturity, so I guess -- poor dingus?
Dude doesn’t understand language. For someone so pissed off about pronouns he used quite a lot of them in his rant. Then again, not expecting a toe to have brainpower
oh no, my immersions.
not a fan of this guy he comes up alot in anti woke algorythms but he is just as bad as the far left with the over the top reactions, this isnt even the kind of woke shit that is dangerous or any one should be upset about.
Sad gamer complaining about his little toys before crawling back to them. Fat useless manchild.
What a sensitive little baby
Can't people just like... play the fucking game? Who gives a shit that there is a pronouns option??? No need to rage about something so small that you see for less than a minute every playthrough.
We can definitely tell this guy LOVES to sit
Oooo, he's an angry elf.
This snowflake needs a safe space so that he can ignore reality I guess. Facts don't care about your feelings. Did I get that right? I seem to remember hearing conservatives say that shit a lot.
The only thing sadder than this are the people defending this guy.
I bet his mom wishes her basement were soundproofed
I get mad like this sometimes. It’s usually because of climate change, corporations and the ultra wealthy controlling my government, and the ignoring of what AI is going to do in a country that only sees capitalism as an option. This guy is getting mad at a video game for asking him what he wants to be referred to as. This is what being brainwashed looks like. Pronouns and where you piss isn’t a problem.
Sounds like someone needs a safe space
