What if: Starting with Dawntrail, everyone starts referring to the WoL as they/them?

I'd really rather not start seeing my character refered to as a type 02 au ra

Tired of woke misogyny, personally.

I don't want to shit on pronouns since I think they're harmless, but they/them as pronouns make me think of you as a collective more than a person. Like you're legion. Also, the she/them memes. But it always seems like pandering. Like body 1 and 2 type stuff. You did it for social points. And because there's still two choices, I don't believe that you're genuine. If that makes any sense. It just feels like someone from a more "enlightened" area talking down. If that makes any sense. Let's learn the morons a thing or two while saying we're all equal. When we clearly aren't.

No thanks.

The singular "they" dates back to Shakespeare. It is not just used for multiple people or plural people. Read a dictionary.

To be fair, it's pretty odd for those who aren't English natives. It would be actually impossible to translate the "They / them" option perfectly for many people.

Mao is Mao.

I would stop playing. I already got enough of that bs irl, i dont need it in FF14 as well.

It should just be an option. I'd have preferred if my character was called they/them and the option would have been nice but a change mid-game forced on everyone wouldn't go well.

Not that I care if those people quit the game, not one bit, but Square wouldn't want the drama.

You give an inch, THEY take several miles
