Then complain about poorly written dialogue, stop focusing on the fact that it was about trans representation. 

Change can be awkward, talking about stuff like this can feel weird until it's normalized. The dialogue was only awkward because we're collectively not used to having these conversations. yet. which is a significant part of why we do art. I also found the dialogue awkward but my issue wasn't that it was about a pronoun, it just felt a little stilted. 

And we should be applauding the attempt, not demonizing it. We'll never get better if you don't foster change. 

Alot (I reckon most people) of people don't want this normalized. 

Its happended so often, that theres inserted trans focus, that happend to be bad, that people are now totally offput by any of it.
And its killing game sales.  Its also both poorly written, and likely also poorly written because its out of place, trans representation.

Bioware is probably going to go under, because they choose to go full on woke representation.
The thing is, trans people probably make up like 0.1% of the population (even less than parts of the LGBTA+)
If something is offputting to like 90% of the population that arn't LGTBA, and you make it a focus of your game..... its gonna sell poorly.
Which is fine... as a developer or programmer, as long as your okay with your game doing poorly.

This right here is pretty much exactly why I am so exhausted by this entire discussion. You outright are saying 'diversity is bad' and 'trans people shouldn't be represented'. You aren't even being subtle about it. for all intents and purposes you're saying that trans people should shut up and know their place and...not sure if you've been paying attention but history will not look back fondly upon you and others who say things like that. 

You'd have to be blind or ignorant or outright unwilling to accept the truth if you don't see where the world is headed and where we're going. Sorry bub, as time goes on, and we understand more about psychology and adapt to change, stuff like asking for a person's pronouns will be normalized. because it should. Resisting that change is admitting you just don't think trans people deserve respect or are too lazy to learn something incredibly simple. because it ain't hurting anyone (Fact) and more options for people to feel comfortable and happy is a good thing (Fact). 

Also you're pretty fucking far off the mark if you genuinely think 'woke' games fail. or if you think progressive themes are hurting the industry. That's just not the reality we live in. The only thing that it's hurting is your ego because you don't WANT it to be successful because 'ewww icky girl with a penis, I don't want that'.
