As I asked Renamed before, can you give me a reason for why we ought to have them?

I replied directly to you twice.  You ignored both.  Why couldn't you ignore the pronoun issue just as easily?

But just because, I'll repost my replies to you.

The first why:

Why ought we have pronouns in character select screens?

Why not?  We often get to choose dozens of characteristics.  A name option, 50 colors of hair in 30 styles, dozens of skin tones, etc...   Does it change the game or gameplay?  

10 seconds on a character select screen negates 50+hours of gameplay?  


The second why (reason) is in bold below:

Petty theft isn't a big deal, ultimately, but it's illegal in order to discourage the behavior.  We ought to make it illegal because petty theft would be more prevalent if it wasn't.

"It's not a big deal" isn't a reason why we ought to do something.  Can you give me a reason?

Holy strawman had sex with a red herring and gave birth to a false equivalency, Batman.


If I steal your food, that's petit theft.  If I take your bill money, that petit theft.  You might miss a meal or even have your electricity turned off.  That's real world negative repercussions. But if I give you the option, the OPTION to be represented even just a little bit in a recreational distraction....

Reason?  Inclusivity.  Representation.  Validation.  Affirmation.  Maybe to have 10 seconds in the character select screen to give a person who's been shit on all their life a tiny moment of simply being seen and recognized for just existing. 



To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
