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

How would you react to your WoL being referred to with gender-neutral pronouns?

[Supersnow845]

I wouldn’t be against the option because I support people who don’t go by the traditional he/she pronouns but my WOL is distinctly a male so I personally prefer keeping my pronouns as he/him

[MitsukiKimura]

There would be another sundering

I'd rather not deal with American moral imperialism in my video games.

My warrior of light is female. She will be referred to as such.

[Embran]

I wouldn't like it just because it cuts corners.

GW2 started doing this when they previously referred to the main protag as he or her in voiced lines, but switched to they/them to avoid having to have the actors read the same lines twice depending on your character's pronoun.

If there was an option, that'd be fine, but for the sake of not setting a precedent for cutting corners, I'd prefer they keep it as is.

Found the imperialist.

Edit: The best part is that you ask for peoples opinions then attack them when you don't get the answer you're looking for, lmao. If there was a clown emote, it would be very appropriate right now.

I'd be about as annoyed as people prefering they/them when someone uses what they think the other is presenting as rather than they/them.

Assuming this isn't a troll thread . . . .

A blanket change would not be well received. Most players I know have no issues with people wanting their pronouns to be what they want (or have any issues with devs putting options in the game to do so) but don't force us to adopt pronouns that we don't use ourselves as it's no different to how you feel about the current pronouns/gender settings.

I have no issues if the devs add the option to have pronouns set by the player (akin to how BG3 works) though that may take quite a bit of dev time to go through and change all current content (not sure if any VA cutscenes refer to our gender?) If so, they would also need to be re-done which I can't see happening personally from a business/development point of view.
