    Dont be ridiculous.

    Today "They" is plural.

    I can find plenty of other ancient word uses that would likely offend the pants off of you if we used them today.

    Ask for an option, im fine with that. Dont force this newspeak on me.

    Cost saving measure to no longer need two versions of every character-referencing dialogue in english, nice.

    Troll aside (which I doubt here, but let's be naive for a second), this kind of proposal surprises me enormously for one thing: it's something that claims to be inclusive. But at the same time it fails dramatically on one point : It is impossible, in many of today's languages, to convey the neutrality associated with 'They'. Which would mean that this kind of thing would not be accessible to non-English speakers.

    Which is... rather exclusive. Just to clarify one thing: I'm well aware that if it only appears on the screens of English players, well, it won't make any difference to me. It's just the reasoning itself that seems strange for this reason.

    Gonna be frank:

    They should add the option just as much as they should add more proper beard options and long hairstyles. More options for character creation and player expression are always a good thing. Don't remove options, add as many as possible. I'd even make an argument for fashion/hair mods, but I'm not gonna cause I know that's heresy for some people.

    Their entire history of threads on here is pretty questionable. Most of their posts are just anger-bait threads over housing, and one bait thread from when EW released and the login queues were horrendous.

    I wouldn't really mind it as long as it's an option. Wouldn't be offended or anything if it was forced, but I do agree that more options for anything is always nice.

    OP isn't here to offer suggestions though. They're here to rage bait.

It just feels like someone from a more "enlightened" area talking down. If that makes any sense. Let's learn the morons a thing or two while saying we're all equal. When we clearly aren't.
    It's just a linguistic thing to get used to tbh. Singular they is already used in game for the pixies, nu mou, fuath.

    Don't most transgender fight to be recognized as a man or woman? Wouldn't force "they/them" on them go against that?
