It's social engineering by useful idiots. They have been conditioned first, and now they are spreading their ideologies to the masses through entertainment. It's been happening for decades in the form of feminism, but the LGBT stuff has only been this overt since the 2010s. The singular they is even more recent. I have never (consciously) heard a man being called "they" until just a few years ago.Stack of Turtles wrote: ↑ January 6th, 2026, 19:41The main issue is that you are conflating "they don't think distinguishing between genders is important" with "social engineering". This is understandable only if you have been living under a rock for the last thirty years or so. These people already grew up in a milieu where everyone ALREADY CALLS EVERYONE "they". That's just normal to them, they're not even overtly thinking about it. To them, gender is cosmetic, not a character choice by the player that needs to be specifically addressed; making extra lines about the player's "important" character creation choices feels like reactivity to them, which is good, but recording lines twice to say he or she — although do keep in mind that the different lines they make for character creation choices like Hogplace house generally don't double the number of lines outright — seems pointless to them because calling everyone "they" is 'already a universal solution everyone normally does' in their world.
Not every video game is being made in California. And this gender madness is not only going on in video games or California...I hate it, people don't talk like that where I'm from, but you're completely failing to understand that California dialect is its own thing that has existed for over a generation now. There's no need to socially engineer it; to them, it's already the default and anyone who complains must be just a Nazi being petty and pretending "everyone" doesn't already say it.
Interesting. But it's still not ingame.By the way, you want "a game from 10-15 years ago where they did this"? 2007's Portal has a fixed protagonist and the only other character talks to you directly anyway, so it doesn't have third-person pronouns in the game... but the developer commentary, I called this out in another thread a bit ago, always refers to the player as "they", and in the 2011 sequel they even specifically made a commentary 'node' (that is, a thing you interact with to read the commentary) JUST to pat themselves on the back for this. Apparently — according to that node — some earlier game had used "he", probably in Half-Life or something (where the PC is actually male so it makes sense!) but they insist that even by that time they were already using "they" in 'normal' everyday conversation. And I believe that, based on my experience with *******.
And the manufactured struggle between perceived opressor and opressed continues...SteGeorgios wrote: ↑ January 9th, 2026, 23:48How's it feel that all this effort was wasted just so your stupid list could become a laughing stock?
Stop thinking in terms of money. It's about power and control. Money is just the tool that is being used to further the agenda. What is the agenda? Obviously the end goal is total control of the human population by the 1%.
