Customizable pronouns

[AxlStream]

Holy poopsickle. This is the best troll thread I've seen in a while. So many bites. Good Job.

I think this is Poe's law in full effect. It's so absurd that we're not sure if it's real or satire anymore.

In today's world it really is hard to tell. Even if this was a troll post initially it took on a whole new life.

I wouldn't call a suggestion like this absurd. I know a lot of people who would really appreciate something like this in MMORPGs, and to suggest a feature and looking for interest for that to show the developers if people would care for it or not is a pretty natural reaction in case you would ask for something like this. I don't know if this is troll or not, but it is definitely an idea I would get behind if there was an easy way to put it in, which it as of my understanding now doesn't.

Cyberpunk 2077 is going to allow you to choose your prounouns.

But my thing is? There are hundreds if not thousands of Genders now. So where does it stop? Like if they put this in? Then he'll have to have people select one of hundreds of genders at character select. Its kind of insane.

Cyberpunk is a bit different though I feel. Since the genre implies that humanity is pushing back the limits of what is possible so if you identify as a toaster (silly example I know), you can legitimately install a toaster in yourself.

No, they are not. This is a common misconception. Most people realize how they can't simply put in every genderidentity, which was why the original suggestion (seems) to imply that they ask to be able to just set their own customed pronouns rather than having to list all the ones, or just for a neutral option. I have never seriously seen anyone asking for all gender identities to be available in a choice menu with dialogue specifically written for it, this is simply a fear a lot of people have for what "will happen" if we even travel slightly from status quo, an understandable fear but still not really fully justified in reality.

That is the suggestion, yes. Either customizable pronouns or, as would be more likely implemented in a game like this, they/them (or the equivalent in other languages, I suppose). This isn't a troll post at all.

I'm a little saddened such a simple suggestion has attracted this many bigots.

Call everyone that don't agree with you a bigot. That's a real great strategy to being understood and being taken seriously by a major populace.

Ironically, their accusations of bigotry are also a sign of their own bigotry. They don't seem very tolerable of anyone who's opinions conflict with their own. Have some of them possibly been bigots themselves? Probably. But for the most part I just see people agreeing or disagreeing, sometimes in great detail. That doesn't make them bigots. That just means they have opinions.

There isn't really an equivalent to they/them in a few of the other languages. Kind of an English centric request.
