This is one of my very least favorite gaming trends. Most impactful? No. But incredibly fucking annoying nonetheless. And it seems like almost all modern games do it.
Some games make character creation downright confusing. Elden Ring has the characters wearing armor, so you have to go into detailed view to make sure you chose what you actually want. Starfield did this, as evidenced by the complaints on release. Baldur's Gate 3...removed male/female from early access to replace it with 'body type' or whatever. And also has tall and buff as well as normal, so actually have Bodies A, B, C, and D. And it can be hard to figure out what they do. It's a fucking mess. Oh, yeah, and nothing is sorted by body type...or labeled. So you have Voice 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., alternating. Yeah, you can choose male, but still have female voices...which would be bad enough, but they're not even labeled. It's just annoying.
That sounds bad, but I honestly get less bothered by the woke virtue signaling in the games than I do by the normies accepting and parroting it. I simply don't have to play those games, and I am not going to read Kotaku articles praising them, but I don't need other "gamers" telling me I'm an extremist weirdo for not appreciating queer theory in my entertainment.
This really struck me the wrong way when an otherwise reasonable youtube review of Starfield (calling it boring and lazy) had to throw in a joke at the end about HeelsVsBabyface being a man baby because of his pronoun selection rant. He may in fact be a man baby, I don't care, but that kind of bandwagon piling on to defend the Current Thing at the expense of low-hanging acceptable targets - whether for cheap laughs or to normalize this fucked up world - is almost on the level of the propaganda "comedy" shows from the likes of John Oliver and Jon Leibowitz. When supposedly normal people start partaking, it's yet another reminder that I live among a sea of NPCs.
Its funny, because Heel is basically a nobody in a complete niche echo chamber where basically no one who doesn't already agree with him will ever find or listen to him. And he screams like that not irregularly.
But suddenly he was the face of every criticism of the woke possible, seen on every form of media, and the entire point he was getting at (albeit poorly) is settled by mocking his emotions and appearance. Its the most forced narrative push I've seen in a while, and they all clapped like seals for it.
And it still amounted to nothing for the game, as its dead and forgotten mere months after release. Its entire legacy will be the game he was mad about for Wokes to joke about.
We probably watched the same video, and it's insanely disingenuous to act like his criticisms of the pure laziness is any more valid than Heel critiquing the gender bullshit in his trademark over the top manner.
His username is a reference to wrestling, he's the heel. He's supposed to be an ass.
I remember seeing Dragonflight, the WoW expansion, change 'Gender' to 'Body Type,' and some players initially tried to downplay it, but then they changed it in the Lich King Classic character creation menus, too, and it was kinda hard to argue that anything would be spared from the infiltration and subversion.
If someone was changing a hundred little things in your life and you mentioned it, they'd be gaslighting you to try to tell you that you're wrong about them, or that they don't matter. Where your toothbrush goes, which order your silverware sits in your drawer, what side of the fridge you keep the milk on, where you place your shoes; all insignificant to your life, but all of them are things that, if changed, you would notice right away and have every right to get mad about someone screwing around with them.
When a dirty Leftist starts changing the names of menus, adding beards to female character options, adding dresses to male options, or making the selection of pronouns an option at all, it's entirely in service to that subversion and rewriting of reality to comport with their views.

Don't forget when WoW changed pictures on the walls in-game from women to bowls of fruit when it was judged the pictures were too provocative.
I'm impressed by how abstract this was getting. Type 1 and 2 for "gender," while stupid, makes sense. But WTF is "motion" let alone a type 1 and 2 of it?
Putting aside this gender retardation, I have no idea why Tekken 8 adopted this cutesy cartoonish avatar style for their virtual arcade mode. It’s generic as fuck, but the bigger problem is that it doesn’t fit the Tekken aesthetic or vibe at all. It’s distracting, annoying, and makes me want to not play the game.

This. This so much. Because it means we will be getting so much more of this woke nonsense all due to normies accepting and enabling it.
The widespread enablement is as bad as the agitprop.
Why does tekken 8 look like the Mii characters from Nintendo?
They remind me more of Microsoft's or Facebook's attempt to copy Miis.
So are all games moving away from binary Male/Female to placate a very whiny .0001 percent?
100%.
I haven't seen a modern M/F choice in a while, to the point it's surprising when there is one. It's pathetic.

Okay, Motion Type B.

So they're saying men and women have inherently different bodies and how those bodies move?
Alexa, play the "Walk like a man" scene from Mrs Doubtfire.
Isn't that supposed to be one of the anti-woke sites? Yet they're playing dumb like they don't know what's going on?
Sad times we live in... and it's only going to get worse.
Cartoony so its not sexy..
