It's not surprising to me really given that gamers have thrown fits over past games using types instead of 'female' or 'male' but I guess I just can't get over how fucking stupid it is to care so much that you download a mod that reverts the text in a character creation menu. The slightest change in language in order to be more welcoming to other players is treated as the downfall of society by these people.

(For context, this is on nexusmods)

the devs didn't even do anything because pronouns are still tied to it. this was literally a performative virtue signal and the chuds are performatively making a mountain out of something you interact with for five seconds ahead of dozens of hours of gameplay where you spend 90% of the time not seeing your character and most of the dialogue about you is second-person.

spoileralso the porn mods are better in skyrim and will continue to be better in skyblivion.
