Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

They're being snowflakes but I don't understand though why not let them mod it out if they want to. Or was there some other problem with that mod? Why is modding a pronoun selection out of the game a horrible disgrace but "huge butts and tits for every woman and nobody wears clothes" mod is fine?
- The site the guy used to host the mod (Nexus) has the rule that no mods pertaining the removal of diversity are allowed. Simply put, Nexus made use of their right to host what they want, and told the guy to host his mod somewhere else.
  Also, fun fact: the mod was so badly made that it removed the she/her and he/him choices, only leaving they/them as a choice in character creation

  That is amazing.

  That's really funny and tbh I wonder if it was an intentional move. "Removing pronouns? Sure thing! Now your only choice is they/them!" Tbh if I was a modder and was getting annoyed by the MuH pRoNoUnS anti-woke squad, that's probably how I'd do it. Can anyone confirm whether or not it was supposed to be ironic?
  
  As far as everyone is aware, the guy just really sucks at modding
  
  If I knew how to mod, I would replace all pronouns with adverbs just for the memes. And if that still pissed people off, time for the big guns: verbs.
  
  Yeah, I wouldn't also force Nexus to host anything they don't want to obviously. Just wondering why they even bother.
  
  I think one of the first mods on Nexus for Skyrim was "killable kids" or something to that effect lol
  
  Killing kids is part of our diversity mission, everyone, no matter their age, gender or nationality may participate in the exciting activity known as "death"
