Transgender people are not a "modern, political subject." They are people. Human people. Not elves. Not gnomes. Not dwarves. But people. And acknowledging their existence should not be seen as being a modern or political subject.
It's getting embarrassing - I think it's some misguided 'let's hear both sides' type of deal when they seem to forget that one group came out of nowhere, most of them never even touched a BG game ever, to push their agenda.
They're letting them hang around, spouting their gamergate propaganda including links to Breitbart and graphs showing just how right gamergate is and how wrong 'the evil feminists/non-racist/non-homophic' people are. Eventually you get threads like these where apparantly people who are not white/male/hetero are a 'style' to be deleted from games at will when someone doesn't want to be confronted with them.
@AeriT Wow. Just wow. Your whole post was propaganda! How hypocritical can you possibly get?
"There is only one side that is right, and it's the side that I am on. Here is a bunch of stuff that suggests how bad the other side is."
Just more biased crap.
I am possibly the only person on this forum that has criticized every political group involved in this mess. For ONCE I'd like someone else to come out and say all political groups that are using this game to push their own agenda have ruined the reputation of this game.

That's okay with me. I enjoy picking apart their arguments until they rage-quit the discussion.
Social Realities : On/Off (allow the player to remain completely insulated from any reference to the fact that it is no longer 1998)
New Difficulty Setting: Legacy of Anita Mode
-Player may cast "Thinskin" twice per day as an innate ability. -All jokes do x10 damage. -Enemies will cast "Detect Double Standards" and "Protection from Hyperbole: 10 Thread Radius" during combat encounters. -Player may not proceed past the first hour of the game without writing his opinions about the remaining unseen 29 hours in the journal.
I love that OP made a joke and was obvious troll. And people engaged him as though he was serious. I lol'd 10/10
if you look at his other posts, this is not sarcasm, he would have to actually be for inclusion for this to be a joke. He is however trolling and making sure everyone knows that anyone who isn't like him isn't 'normal' and should be ignored and excluded.

Even if he believes the nonsense he's spewing, it ain't convincing anyone else. He's engaging to get a rise out of people not to push an agenda. That's what I mean when I say he's not serious.

What I want is a solution to this drama. Seems like in game options could solve it all.
Maybe you guys should consider adding more options in the option menu
Lesbians : On or off ( allow or remove lesbian related text and options ) Gays : On or off ( same as above ) Bisexuals : On or off ( same as above ) Transgender : On or off ( again, same as above ) Bestiality : On or off ( change all half orcs into humans, bears do not join party if dwarves are around ) Feminism : On or off ( change certain companion dialogues or keep them as they were ) Ultra feminism : On or off ( make everyone female ) Harem : On or off ( Make everyone female except our main hero ) White on black racism : On or off ( adds a few instances of modern racism ) Black on white racism : not implemented, lack of budget. GamerGate : On or off ( make a ton of npc's criticize your every mistake constantly ) Orgies : On or off ( allows Dragon Age-esque "parties" in selected festhalls in game ) Racism : On or off ( Make everyone accept and like each other or not ) Prejudice : On or off ( Keep halflings as the thieving svifneblins they are, or make them generic )
That would solve many problems so people could play their game according to their own style.
LOL that's it ^^
i would add another option as for me , why not Black ultra-feminism black on white racism trans harem ! ( on or on ) [yeah, you put a bug on off!!^^]

HLA would include Improved Cognitive Dissonance, Offensive/Defensive Posturing and Summon Moderator.

While the clear majority of people who came her just to squabble over this issue are Gamergaters, I can think of at least 5 posters who made accounts just to come her and argue on the other "side".
Hard to imagine how privileged all these people must be, to have enough money and time to spend hours a day making new accounts on websites for the sole purpose of arguing over videogame content.
I have an idea: We should build a wall around Gamergate and make the SJWs pay for it.
Omg! I hope you are not the writer of Trumps' speeches (Not american, just keep hearing about it on the internet a lot. I wish US ppl would chill)
Haha, I don't think I could be in the same room as Trump. I also don't think he has speechwriters. He might spout off the cuff whatever would get him the most coverage in the press, but that is a conversation for another time.
Could someone implement an "ignore" function for threads in this forum? Because I could eliminate 97% of the bulIshit topics in here from the title alone. It would make sorting through the chaff a lot more palatable. At this point, I'm just going to give it a week and see if things improve; if not, enjoy your forums, you politically-minded jackanapes.

I would buy and play every RPG with such option! It is the option of my dreams!
