    It’s literally gender ideology politics. Outside of that, there is zero reason to take down the mod. It harms nobody. It doesn’t even violate their own TOS.

      Gender ideology isn’t a political stance, wtf are you talking about?

      This is the equivalent of me making a mod that removes all black people and calling it a political statement.

        Gender ideology is literally sexual politics. The inclusion of the ability to select your pronouns (as opposed to what, I don’t know, them being fixed according to the sex of the generated character?) is sexual politics. Modding that choice out is sexual politics. Removing the mod is sexual politics. Every action taken by all parties in this story is sexual politics.

          Sexual Politics - the principles determining the relationship of the sexes; relations between the sexes regarded in terms of power.

          Now, tell me where removing the options for pronouns in a video game fits within that definition.

          Apparently you can just add “politics” to the end of anything to try and justify discrimination. My mod that removes all black people from the game is just “race politics”, so it’s okay!

            All of gender ideology is sexual politics. It’s an attack on the conceptual model of the sexes as they are intuitively understood — an attempt to hijack the language that is used to describe the sexes in an attempt to push gender ideology into the mainstream.

              I’m sorry man, I wish I could help you. But this… I think you’re in a bit too deep.

              Nobody is “hijacking” anything, and nobody is forcefully pushing ideologies on anyone. It’s as simple as groups of people wanting to be treated just as well as anyone else - it’s not any more complicated than that.

              I hope eventually you find your way out of this.
