Old School RuneScape has fallen.

Good on Jagex. They continue to put out these updates even though their playerbase is wildly transphobic. I will continue to wear my trans pride gear and piss people off while killing Wintertodt.

come on now

- There was a quest filled with lateral thinking puzzles and had a moment where an NPC was like "no man can defeat me!" So you had to go to the makeover mage to change gender.
  Nowadays they're like "no weapon can slash me!" So you bludgeon them to death with a hammer.
- Too many wokies out there addicted to getting makeovers by Makeover Mage, everyone's saying it. Cause of free healthcare poor Makeover Mage can't even decline, they have to do it. They have to.

I'd love to have so little problems in my life that harmless shit like this breaks me

World of Warcraft did the same thing 2 years ago. Chuds acted outraged for a short period but then they just kept playing the game.

  Gamers™ once again showing that they're the most spineless treat-addled losers in existence. They're not even capable of dropping the games they think have "gone woke"

Even if you are wildly transphobic (and no I can't excuse it
), can a man not have a hair bun and wear skirt-shaped cloth?? It's not like the character model includes genes and genitalia
The endpoint of transphobism seems to be that literally no person is valid ever.

  These dynamics are baked into fascism itself, there's always gotta be someone to target. If no person is inherently valid in this worldview, then the fascists get to pick and choose who's valid.

- Gamergate: “Make your own games!”
  : “ok. I added this voluntarily since only losers jerking themselves off on 4chan or Facebook find it offensive.”
  Gamergate: “No not like that!”

where the they/them prounouns for my giant blue skinned big breasted person??? huh???? not so woke anymore

Even main game RuneScape has dunked on CHUDs for a long time.
Bandos got his ass whooped by the furry God, and that’s not even mentioning Bandos’s followers mostly being goblins, orcs, and trolls. Literally implying that “fascism is for idiots”.
“Stunning and brave”, actually it unironically is. Jagex realized their game is more important to them than shareholders and decided to flip off 99% of the world. Jagex, after the revolution you can stay.
- Gotta disagree hard with this reading of the lore. The Lost Tribe ~~of Israel~~ questline uses the Bandosians as stand-ins for Muslims. Armadyl, the eagle god of freedom and democracy (your furry god), kills Bandos in an airstrike. It's peak War on Terror brainworms.

Do characters in Runescape ever even refer to a PC with pronouns? I remember the dialogue being pretty primitive, even back in the day.
- I imagine in newer quests you'd be able to personalize the dialogue. In other MMOs instead of using your name they just go 'the champion has arrived!' This, of course, is my preferred pronoun but I get why it's not everyone's cuppa
- I played for years and don't remember a single conversation between npcs. I'm pretty sure it was all npcs speaking directly tothe player.
