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)

can't wait to watch their heads explode when they get to this loading screen

edit: Oblivion loading screen: If playing on PC, you can change your character’s gender mid-playthrough. No one is stopping you. Cast fireball on citizens or creatures who take issue with your decision.

also, do it in real life too :D

One of the biggest figures in Morrowind & general Elder Scrolls lore is an intersex nonbinary demigod who was a lover of their chief general who they then schrodinger murdered by impaling him (symbolism intentional) with a spear made from the severed penis of the god of SA.

Elder Scrolls has always been weird and queer as fuck but these dumbasses will pretend like it's gone woke because it included a nongendered body type option.

This is just the appetizer until "based_pedophile1488" learns how to mod in hentai titties and swastika armbands.

Funnily enough, there's already like a dozen titty mods, and its only been 4 days since the release i-cant

It's an inevitable part of modding

Didn't nexusmods ban people for uploading similar stuff before? Hope they do so here too

It's obviously horseshit that this is even a thing, but 2.9k endorsements on a game that just came out with basically no mods outside of reshade presets and .ini tweaks means only the most deranged fucking losers are even looking at this right now, and it wouldn't surprise me if there are organized campaigns of incel reactionaries who organize to always endorse shit like this on nexusmods.

Nexusmods has its issues, but they're pretty decent about removing anti-lgbtq content historically and don't really play around with the dumbest of bad-intent abstractions like "it's actually just restoring the game to its original intention." It wouldn't surprise me to see this "mod" get nuked fairly soon and then a 2 day media circus led by the rat lord himself about censorship in media or some bullshit.

In short, I love my trans comrades

That's what fucking happens, these losers have nothing better to do than watch their right wing streamers all day, something gets mentioned by a few that becomes a target of either hate or endorsement and they pile on it.

While us commies are studying theory or reading about the new unfolding horrors in the world the chuds are looking for ways to fight 'woke' and they think endorsing a mod like this is part of their struggle against removed(I guess the word describing the state of being removedd is banned? Ffs I don't know how to substitute it, I'm trying to say what Nazis say society has become, a lesser form than it was, starting with 'degen')

I probably have more pity than disdain for these sorts of people, it must be the saddest existence, lonely and detached from reality.

We've already been through that news cycle. Nexusmods caved and unbanned the mod.

It's the most endorsed but doesn't even have enough downloads to make it to the front page when sorting by popular.

So I guess chuds care enough to virtue signal but not enough to actually spend thirty seconds downloading it.

That's because anybody endorsing this is a tourist who hasn't downloaded Oblivion Remastered in the first place.

I would have never noticed that games were using body type instead of gendered language if not for people pointing it out to me as if i would care.

"It's a fantasy world where lizards without lips can speak English but fuck if they can be anything other than male or female" what the fuck

Edit: maybe they don't want reality in their fantasy game. "This is a fantasy world where there are only two genders don't ruin the immersion by bringing real life into it
