It could be helpful to have at least common pronoun sets (he/him, she/her, they/them in English) as titles people can equip.
It does seem like there might be an issue with pronouns that would lose meaning in translation, though - and that implementing it truly as titles would mean having to choose between a desired achievement title and a pronoun title.
That seems like one of those things that seems simple on paper but is probably a lot more work that it's worth. Especially they/them since it would involve recording an entire third set of voice lines.
Problematic language with one of this thread’s replies aside, I agree with the original poster in that an optional pronouns feature would certainly be welcome and appreciated by many. I already like showing my pronouns in communications on social media and work, so here too please!
With it being optional, I legitimately can’t see who it would offend aside from a few vocally upset people who should more carefully review the terms of service and do some introspection as to why this would bother them. Opposition that’s rooted in transphobia (including against non-binary people) shouldn’t discourage developers from being more inclusive, just like how some opposition from certain groups of people to same-sex marriage didn’t forever stop Square Enix from eventually deciding to be more tolerant by adding same-sex marriage support into the game.
Bit confused. By the thread title I thought you were referring to things like the In game titles.
Flamelord, flamelady, his finest ally.. those things?
I mean that could be cool. though some titles could be tricky. I lose count of how many ways people can identify these days honestly. It's a very individualistic thing after all.
Other titles though refer to third party's. Like the his finest ally one I believe.refers to louisoix.
But the comments seem to suggest titles as in Mr/mrs "warrior of light"
Thank you to the moderator who deleted the really transphobic reply that was in this thread earlier; the moderation against unfortunate bigotry is really appreciated.
An optional pronouns feature would still be totally harmless; it being added as title or player profile options could work too.
