Pronouns???

[MilkieTea]

Doing some quick Google searches, this is incorrect. Intersex individuals with secondary characteristics are 0.02-0.05% and usually corrected at birth. Red haired humans are roughly 2% of the population. Now, I'll extend an olive branch. If you're an adult, choose to do with your body what you wish. However, there no need to push for it in a peice of media that has little to do with that.

I cant update (Im on mobile right now about to go to bed.) But pushing for pronoun changes in games designed for immersion (because ultimately thats what MMOs want - they want you to feel as though you can relate to your character because it keeps you coming back) isnt pushing anything other than proper pronoun usage. Heck, i know plenty of cisgendered males who play fem characters SOLELY because of the aesthetics and would still choose to be called by he/him pronouns ingame.

however, i acknowledge that this would be a huge waste of dev resources, which are already stretched tight enough as it is.

I’m just gonna chime in for a second. Actually, nope never mind. Just gonna continue to sit back and sip this tea. Carry on.

....... A lot of games are going that way so why not???

What games are these so I can avoid them?

As a gay who has to concern himself with daily trivial matters like work, doing chores, paying the rent,having a healthy relationship, saving up money for the future, etc. I envy my fellow LGBTIQ+ members that have enough time and economic stability in their hands to worry about what pronouns a videogame uses.

Sex isn't binary

Gonna stop you right there.

So, why do you think it's called intersex? To be intersex is to be in-between the two sexes. There is no third sex that develops in intersex people.

Sure, we get all these different iterations of XY and XX, like XXY XYY XXX XYX. etc.

It's the same in binary code with 0s and 1s. To be a binary, means to consist of two parts. Two parts in any winning combination is still in a binary. 0001 is not 1001, and they represent different numbers in the code, but they're still in that binary code.

The analogy isn't perfect, but I think you get my meaning. There's no new chromosome that comes about in intersex people allowing them to reproduce in new manners, if they are able to reproduce. There is no third gamete.

I doubt they will change the logs just for this... it's a game but I know beeps get offended too easily nowadays. No spine. Maybe just ignore it and enjoy the story. In Japan they haven't normalized mental disorders yet so it is not in their interest to add that to games.

S*x being binary or not isn’t necessarily analogous to computer binaries, because computer binaries dont allow for variations. It is “either” 1 or 0, either “on” or “off”

I believe its more accurate to describe s*x as a sliding scale. Its not that there are new s*xes, its that describing s*x as strictly binary just DOESNT work. Most people may fit comfortably on one side of the scale or the other, but there are plenty of people all around the inside of that scale. (Bear in mind this is STRICTLY talking about s*x, gender and gender expression falls outside of that.)

I find your way of censoring the word "sex" to be incredibly amusing. And yet it's not censored in the picture you posted for some reason. Please be consistent.

[Sotaris]

You dont want pronouns in your games, I take it?

Thanks for repeating my comment. Fun with words?

oh snap- yikes.

if you want to know why, Im used to instagram and youtube censoring conments that contain those words so whenever i type i censor the words myself. ive lost many an essay just because i forgot to censor certain words. however in images it doesnt really matter since youre typically just linking the image (and youtube is spotty about allowing links anyways so its hit or miss whether or not your comment will even go thru)
