I recently got Lunacid, a RPG that takes inspiration from Kings Field and Shadow Tower lineage made by a solo dev. It's a great game I suggest you pick it up btw.
It has pronouns selector in character creation with some zhe/zher stuff. It has no affect on any in game dialog or stats. The dev put it in just to get people like this upset. I didn't realize this until I looked in the steam community discussions and saw the amount of people seething about it with the devs themselves taunting them in the comments.
The amount of people who genuinely get hot and bothered by this was surprising to me. I'm not really a gender identity orientated person so its not something I feel strongly about but I understand its important for some and just picked my prefered ones then moved on with the game. I respect the power move making bigoted chuds and squares salty at the cost of some sales.
that's genuinely how fragile, how weak minded they are: they cannot fucking stand even the mention of other, much less it's existence, without it becoming part of their cultural war on 'woke'.
what a sad little life to lead, constantly worried about what some videogame somewhere has in it's content.
