"....the phrase non-binary gender was not known until 1999 and not in regular use until 2006."

Yep according to google, that term wasn't used then.

Is this referring to Veilguard? Pretty sure that game is set in a fantasy world; you know, as in not subject to the same rules as the real world. I'm pretty sure we use lots of terms and ideas today that didn't exist in medieval times, even in games about medieval times. I wonder why those anachronisms don't cause such an uproar...

Also why is it that the otherside just ignore the facts, these effects have on games... and resort to name calling?
Like we already have a person posting a picture, naming people that don't agree with him, as dickheads.

Its been like this for a while now. The people preaching about inclusion are usually the most vicious in the way they talk about other people.

A meme calling people dickheads is a vicious attack, now? What facts am I ignoring, JRPGfan?

Its about immersion. You cant just say "Its a fantasy world" and everything is ok. Where were all these characters and pronouns in the previous three games? Its so out of place in that series. It would be like in the next Elder Scrolls game a character pulls out an Iphone and calls in an airstrike. Is that ok? Its just fantasy, right?

People only care if the game is bad.  baldur's gate 3 uses Pronouns in a fantasy setting and was not used historically in forgotten realms but it had 0 effect on how much people loved that game.  Game play/writing is still king and if a game does those 2 things well you can add all the Pronouns you want into the game and the vast majority of people won't care regardless of settings.
