    Well, sure. Lots of people don’t want woke garbage in their games.

    “Woke garbage” being things like “the existence of a type of people I think should not exist”.

      Again, with the “existence” thing. Obviously people exist, but arbitrary pronouns are woke garbage.

          When you decide at your choosing what they are, instead of by a deterministic set of conditions, they are, by definition, arbitrary. That’s what arbitrary means. It means you choose them.

            Here’s the thing: They are chosen by a deterministic set of conditions. Just because you don’t understand what those conditions are does not make the terms arbitrary.

            Also, that’s not what “arbitrary” means, either. For somebody who seems to be so uptight about the definitions of words, you sure do invent a lot of your own definitions.

              If I feel like eating pizza today, that desire comes from deterministic conditions. Me choosing to have pizza is still an arbitrary choice. If I had a cheeseburger instead of pizza because it’s cheeseburger day, even if I want pizza, that’s deterministic. You could argue that the schedule is arbitrary, and that’s fair, but deciding for yourself what pronouns you are going to have used in your regard regardless of your sex is arbitrary.

                You know gender and sex aren’t the same thing, right?

                Who am I kidding, of course you know. You just don’t care about the difference, because reality is meaningless to you.

                  I understand better than gender ideologues the difference between sex and gender, and unlike both the left and the right, I meticulously never use them interchangeably.

              No, they are chosen by “I identify as…” and then they make their choice. That is literally arbitrary. I don’t know how you have been using the word, but you could look it up in a dictionary to see how people have historically used the word.

                they are chosen by “I identify as…”

                So you acknowledge that there are deterministic sets of conditions after all. Great, we’re making progress!

                Also:

                based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system

                It’s not random choice or personal whim. There is a reason and a system. Again, just because you lack the understanding does not mean the rest of the world is as riddled with brain worms as you are.

                  Yeah, the system is “I feel this way (today),” or “I feel that way (today).” This ends in “does free will exist,” which I don’t want to end up at.

                    Not how it works. Clearly you’ve never actually met a trans person and actually had a conversation with them and tried to understand their life, have you?

        Yes. Existence.

        Trans people exist. Non-binary people exist. And they exist in ways that people refer to as “woke garbage”.
