I'd like to keep it that way.

    I think I'm not the only one who tends to treat everyone with respect regardless of who or what they are. But we can only be so accommodating when it comes to changing the things we love. Personally, OP's suggestion being implemented would leave a sour taste in my mouth. Does that mean I'm a transphobe? idk, I feel like the definition of that word grows broader and broader everyday.

    Also, shame on you for necroing this thread XD

    Please explain to me how giving someone the option to have a different pronoun in the story is corrupting your experience. If you don't want your character to be referred to as "they" then simply don't select it. The story is a solo experience.

    It's all a game. It's basically the same game people played back when same-sex unions weren't yet permitted for eternal bond.

    "I treat everyone with respect," but they refuse to grant some very basic manners and human dignities that they take for granted themselves.

    "I'm not a bigot," but they can't resist voicing how disgusted they are that a marginalized group being validated will ruin the game. Even though it won't impact them at all.

    "Stop bringing politics and outside issues into Eorzea," when they reject another player's personal identity because it offends their delicate political and religious sensibilities.

    Are you for real!? You literally just said it would ruin the game. We have the quote.

    Hello. Twitter called. They're missing you.

    See first reply for what I think. Regardless, all who follow suggestions like yours have failed miserably. Would be a bad idea to start now. Marketing for people like that (aka people who complain for the sake of complaining and who never buy or are happy with anything) is a foolish thing to do for any company.
