This is the most endorsed mod for Oblivion Remastered right now

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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • so they would rather take the time to install a mod than just see this screen for 7 seconds?

    • They aren't taking the time to install it, it has way less downloads compared to similarly endorsed mods.

    • And would remind themselves of this "travesty" of a character creation screen every time they turn the game on and it loads their modlist, instead of just the few times they create a character.

      I think they just want to be angry, but are also lazy. Which is why they always pick the character creation stuff to get mad about. No sense getting mad about a quest 30 hours into the game, that takes effort to get to! But the character creation screen? Even a monkey smashing random buttons could probably reach it no problem.

    • …for a game they already paid for!

      And they accuse us of virtue signaling when they are incapable of shutting up about being good little conformists for 10 seconds.

  • 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
