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.

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.

Bruh doesn't even know what DEI means.

How can this be DEI it's literally fictional characters.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 32 points 3 weeks ago

It just means "politically correct/SJW/woke" and the words change every few years while absolutely nothing about the ideology does. pronouns

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Does DEI mean anything though? I thought they just use it because "woke" wasn't working.

[–] Jrockwar 18 points 3 weeks ago

In reality you mean? Diversity, Equality and Inclusion.

In their minds, anything that isn't white, straight, cis.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

It means the same thing, and that is essentially "thing I don't like"

[–] nocturnedragonite@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago

Lol chuds are obsessed with buzzwords, they don't even know what any of them mean they just love using them

That’s it. We appropriate the “pool’s closed” meme.

Chuds try not to mald over pointless videogame stuff challenge: impossible pronounjak-rage

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 27 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Even if you are wildly transphobic (and no I can't excuse it can-excuse-2 ), 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.

[–] btfod@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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"

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

There's also the whole loud minority angle. Most people just don't care. The Gamer® argument that roped other people into Gamergate and such things was always that 'people are getting into your hobby and changing to conform to their politics'. Turns out that shit cuts both ways and the black mold growing inside the Gamer® mind comes across as weird to other players as well.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Stunning and brave!

Yes, yes it is, especially because fucking nazi cowards would be pleased to murder people for that if they knew they could get away with it.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Gamergate: “Make your own games!”

capitalist-woke: “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

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Do characters in Runescape ever even refer to a PC with pronouns? I remember the dialogue being pretty primitive, even back in the day.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] robotElder2@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

A gnome with a funny hat shares dank memes, right?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

more like WOKEscape :kelly:

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

I can't believe they added blue people to the game. Fucking woke SJW bullshit.

[–] Gorillatactics@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

OSRS stopped forcefemming the male characters.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago
[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

Of all things to complain about in OSRS, this is the thing gamers are complaining about?

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

They can feel the culture wars slipping through their fingers.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago
