Games

I picked up Veilguard because I enjoyed Origins and Inquisition. The second game... at this point, I don't think I took it right and its my problem and I need to give it another chance.

I'm still very early into the game, but the only "woke" thing I've seen so far is variable gender identity during character creation.

You want to play a "woman" who looks masculine, with atypical male traits, even a penis, and a deep voice? You know what, I'm glad the option is open to people. It doesn't vibe with me personally, but I'm glad that people I care about can make a character that is "them," because who hasn't made themselves in an RPG at some point in their life, best they were able.

Again, I'm early to it, but that is all of the "woke" shit I've seen.

For the record, I have friends and family in the LGTBQ+(whatever, doesn't matter) that I support.

I don't want hate in my heart, and I've worked very hard to overcome some biases that came from my more "southern" upbringing. Hell, one of those biased views from the past is now openly trans, and I was the only family member they talked to because they couldn't talk to anyone else.

I'm imperfect, as all humans are, but it isn't hard to fucking TRY, just a little, to realize that someone else's self image and happiness doesn't affect mine other than what pronouns I use to refer to them. Fuck, its not hard. Just don't be a dick.
