Not to mention everybody will have pronouns now! Previously we were just referring to the individuals by the individuals' names, of course.

Why would they? Actors, politicians, etc openly show hate and there're no meaningful consequences. It's accepted now...

Elden ring already has body A body B customization. These chodes have never played elden ring and may be Russian.

And the possibility of it turning into a Playstation exclusive once again. Or at the very least a game developed for Playstation with a terrible PC port.

Yep, the main thing I worry about. But the parent company that the Sony is considering buying owns only like 65% of From Software. So maybe from software will have some leeway and they can put their foot down and say they don't want to use PSN. Maybe? Hopefully? Otherwise, elden ring will be the last game that I bought from them.

And having to wait a year and a half.

Or longer, if they decide to go the bloodborne route.

non white people? in my Asian-themed fantasy game?

Only reason I wouldn't play it is because I still suck at the first one. (I have to give it another try though, then I would totally play a second one)

God when did racism, homophobia, and misogyny become the new opinions you can hold instead of developing an identity

Honestly? Maybe sometime around mid-late 2015 after Donald announced his first run for president.

The moment he was taken seriously, it emboldened all the chuds.

Upon further thought, I believe that year also marked the start of what led to Brexit as the UK Conservative Party won a majority. Not a great year.

Fair point :)

I don't want no gay darkies in my fantasy game where I fight wizard fish people and British jars /s

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy

Dark Souls 2 has a mechanic to swap your character's gender whenever you want to. From is already okay with genderfluid protagonists.

That'd be dope Sailor Moon fan fiction.

What if From Software made a chracter who can swap sexes at will but struggles with two mutually antagonizing personalities and made them the main boss of their next game? That would be so woke.

So how did they reconcile Miles Morales?

That's interesting. Have they been told by Marvel to make it that way or do Sony hold rights over Spider-Man to an extent where they can dictate his appearances on screen? I remember hearing that Sony kinda owns Spider-Man for the movies or something? Not sure

Sometimes characters in my games have pronouns and I still play those games, but I'm always weirded out by it. Why do people need to talk about them and not use only their name?

Oh no, now I am using pronouns! The woke people have corrupted my mind!

and by realism, they mean "Everyone is white and all women meet their standards of what is attractive", because of course, white men and supermodels are the vast majority of the human population in real life /s
