    It's not like swapping pronouns when a fantasia is used brings the system to a halt so I dont see what the issue is.
    Because the code required for the system to identify if the character is a "he" or a "she" is already there, been since the start.

    All the program needs to do is to change your character from "true" to "false" or vice versa.

    Except that's not what's being asked for here. It's already set to a binary. What's being asked for is to add duck, potatoe, pickle, gingerbread, airplane, moon, sandwich, etc.

    And what about the "genderfluid" crowd? If they cave to the made up pronouns, they're going to be beaten over the head until they cave to the genderfluids crowd (give an inch, take a mile). And if they don't, they'll be accused of hate and bigotry. That will mean creating a system that has to check every line of dialogue with a gender pronoun for the WoL, and an option that lets them choose what gender they want to be for each line of dialogue.

    This is a slippery slope. It's not worth the devs' time and it would provide zero benefit to the game.

    I have seen entire communities destroyed by this kind of thinking (not yours) i have seen people lose everything to these representation warriors.

    They demand something and when you give them it they demand more and more until you reach a breaking point and say no..then your a bigot. People are getting rightfully fed up with it including myself

    That's what I meant, but I suppose I was being really unclear...

    What I wanted to say was that Fantasia works because all it has to do is to swap your character from the two already existing genders to another, and if you wanted to have more options than just "he" and "she", it would require some major work to a point where it's just not worth it, as it would cater to a very small minority.
