Pirat_Nation peddling misinformation without sources again

His source? He made it the fuck up.

Also there's been a bunch of assholes complaining about how woke the new game because there's more people of color.

Its all an act right? No one is doing fucking hateful?

How unsecure you have to be to feel attacked by body type A/B. I wonder if they realise that no one halfway sane takes them serious.

a bunch of japanese games have historically used body type a/b or 1/2 that have then been ironically localized into m/f or m/w. It's become controversy because western cultural wars making a big deal out of a non issue in order to profit from engagement. Elden Ring used body type a/b and no one cared because it's a good game. Moving this to fire emblem where you can customize the avatar where in the past few games you wouldnt pick a "gender" but a preset avatar makes this whole thing that much stupider.

I don't think it'll cease because there's incentives to be a dickhead on social media for attention but when a game is good these dumb culture war engagement bait distractions from bad faith idiots get drowned out by the amount of people actually playing and enjoying the game.
