Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

Must be exhausting being a conservative and being terrified of everything.
Its refreshing, actually.
Cause everything is someone elses fault, So you never have to have an ounce of self-reflection, so you never have to blame anything on your own deeds and behavior.
Even better, many of them die alone because they “disown” their family.
Funny how a game about fearing the unknown is being hated on by a group that fears the (relatively) unknown.
I don’t know, my parents managed for years. Nice being an adult and getting Halloween. Maybe you are right that it is exhausting they just get used to being in a continuous state of it. Like a pack a day smoker vs someone who has never smoked. One can handle nicotine levels that could kill another.
Great metaphor! In both cases personal decisions lead to a shorter life span.
Not fair to lump all conservatives into one group. That’s like saying liberals and leftist are all the same when they’re clearly not.
PS: I’m center-right and I fucking love Starfield!!!
Self-reflection is indeed a problem for conservatives.
The group of “it wasn’t a problem until it happened to me”.
You might be right it isn’t fair to lump all conservatives together.
Considering the amount of blatant misinformation acceptance required to be a Republican these days I think it’s pretty fair to lump all Republicans together.
The issue is that Republicans have historically represented conservative viewpoints, so they are spoken of synonymously. The Republican party is so distorted that it is arguably no longer conservative in any recognizable way, but because it used to be the conservative party (and because they still claim to be conservative) you get a lot of people considering them the same.
Why do you assume a centre right person is an American Republican? Other countries exist with their own political landscapes.
I’m not assuming that. I’m giving this person a possible reason that people who identify as conservative get lumped together in online discourse, despite the fact that they probably don’t deserve to be lumped together.
Although if I’m being honest this overall topic is about “conservatives boycotting Starfield over pronoun usage”, which I think does give the entire conversation a bit of a US slant. Again, my comment in no way made any assumptions about this user, just trying to give some explanation of why things end up discussed the way they are. But even if I did make that assumption I think given the other context of the thread I could be forgiven. Unless there are idiots in other countries getting their panties in a bunch over pronoun usage as well, which I sincerely hope there are not.
Well, the bloke who kicked the whole thing off on stream was British and unfortunately we have right wing wankers here too.
Sigh. Well I’m sorry to hear that.
Do you vote for Republicans? Yes? Then at this point you support conservatism 100%. There’s no room for gradients because of how our political parties are structured. So if you’re “center” right, you’re just a conservative trying to hide behind another name.
