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.

Pronouns make them angry a lot. I am not that shocked.
- If you misgender them, suddenly they care A LOT about their pronouns.
  
  Maybe that’s the key to shutting them up. In person, anyway.
  “Ma’am, everyone has a right to exist”
  anger intensifies “I’m not a woman, I’m a MAN!”
  “Oh, so you do care about pronouns then”
  
  I like this a lot.
  Generally speaking, it's poor form to use the bad behavior of a person against them, and often considered "taking the low road". But when they keep flinging their shit up in the air, it seems only fair that some of it gets shoveled back down onto their heads.
