that's an unusually nuanced take and write-up in a place like this. the only thing I'd disagree with is the notion that it's a double-edged attack on identity. those of us who identify with biological sex, are by and large unaffected by those who don't. being expected to adhere to uncontroversial societal norms of acceptance, respect and inclusion can hardly be considered an attack on one's own identity.

now, the large majority of the population in (what could be considered) western society would agree with that. evidently, transphobia and homophobia is still a thing. but those views are by all definitions fringe views, and that's important to note, especially in places like these where the contrary would appear to be the case.


EDIT: I also have to give your comments the same praise. Not a great deal of intelligeant conversation happening here xD

I wouldn't say it was an attack on the cis-gendered. I'd say they are having their identity violated (non-intentionally). By having to call someone they identify as a man, a woman (or vise versa) it contradicts what they see themselves as, and it's unsettling to them. Of course they have to learn to get over that, but their struggle shouldn't be invalidated either. In order to progress, we must understand what is causing the resistance.

the only reason they add changes like this is because you snowflakes freak out over the smallest thing. The vocal minority pearl clutching and nerd raging just gives an incentive to add more meaningless changes to further piss you off. Want to know why businesses are "woke" and support progress? Because they have the metrics and data to prove the overwhelming majority of the market supports these decisions.

They only care about money and that fact alone should let you know you are the small % crying and moaning while the world around you is passing you by. If most people were offended or bothered by black dwarves or gender neutral patches the companies would stop doing them. You think bobby kotick cares about ANY of this? You're outnumbered. Most people don't care and the ones that do are too poor and weak to stop it. If you spent half as much time bettering yourself as you do hating others you wouldn't have time to care about dumb shit like this lmao.


That is not true at all. Look up Larry Fink and how he funds companies who follow his guidance on diversity, inclusion, etc..

i just think its unnecessary. like so many more things they could have improved with the game and they waste time with political correctness. i mean why? what is so offensive about him/her?
people get called snowflakes because they honestly complain about nothing. i mean if it was biased vs the gay community or something, fair enough. but again... what was so offensive that needed changing?
why not focus on more important stuff? i.e. pvp, pvm, class balances, content, etc.

No clue how old Elon is. But how would you travelling back 60 years take Elon off the planet now? Heard of the grandfather-paradox? If you killed him in the past, we wouldn't be having this conversation and you'd never travel back to get rid of him.
Or do you want to gift me a time machine so I can go back to pre-Musk-times? That would be appreciated, if I can also use it for other purposes.

well i was thinking travel back in time before he became famous and prove to everyone im from the future. then tell them some bullshit how he has plans for world domination and he would cause a million deaths.
then they would discredit him completely and he would never have any influence. finally we can have flying cars instead of teslas. job done.

Alright, that works, yet it seems oddly elaborate if you could just take him off the planet now instead.
