Pronoun "Selection"

Postby CookieMan56 » Fri Oct 01, 2021 9:04 pm

Maybe you could add another selection screen to profile , and be able to pick pronouns to appear next to your name in game. Some examples would be (he/him), (she/her), (they/them), and (xe/xem). You wouldn't have to select, and I believe most people would be nice about it. Some people who play the game are probably nonbinary/trans(including me), and it sometimes gets disappointing when people call me a he , so I feel it would be a benefit to those people.

In the game, you pick a character and roleplay as that character and thus get the gender pronoun assigned for that character.

While I understand that pronouns are very important for some people, I also feel people should keep in mind that the game is not a real life experience, and the pronouns are generally just based on either the character, or sometimes people fall back on what their personal taught "default" is.

The main issues I see with this is, first off, there's too many pronouns that people want, you named a couple, but there are sooo many more that people use, where do we stop?
Second issue I also see, is that it will insanely clutter the screen. (#. Playername (pronouns)). That's half a sentence gone.
Third issue I see: Even moreso than already (and this is moreso of a personal note), this would cause even more non-game related discussions ingame. Which might open a can of worms to a plethora of even more harassment, e.t.c.
Not to mention, and I hate saying this: People are gonna ignore it anyway. Maybe not everyone, but some people will. They'll either don't care about your personal preference (which, as stupid as it may seem, is allowed, especially on the internet, not everyone cares), or they'll be so into the game they will resort to default.

So while I do get the cause, I don't think it's something that needs to be implemented, especially not in the suggested manner.

I could see a suggestion about a gender neutral character/skin to pick ingame, possibly working in the future though.

one of the reasons i dont play tos as much anymore is that some characters which probably don't need to be gendered are gendered and that random skins cant disclude single skins

just make they/them the norm

Seems pointless everyone will call everyone a he anyway.

Dunno why it needs to even mention gender personally.
Couldn't be that hard to just slightly edit some words to make everything gender neutral.

I somewhat agree. Pronouns during matches appear to be based on the avatar one uses during a match. However, some people might want to use the Potion Master avatar and feel uncomfortable being referred to with she/her pronouns. It would be ideal to not refer to gender in-game, though, because some people would want to remain fully anonymous and the pronouns one uses may be utilized for metagaming and/or trolling purposes.

Its kind of a roleplaying thing

If you play an rpg and your character is a woman, you will be called a she


Anyway just saying "they" should be enough to avoid people from complaining

That's fair, but for most people ToS is less so character roleplay and more so, well, role roleplay. Like, your skin being the Mafioso or Potion Master doesn't affect your strategies/claims/etc. But back on topic, I agree with having the neutral singular "they" set for game messages.

well that IS anarchy minecraft, lol. in my experience, in most online games (tos ESPECIALLY included) people often default to using he/him for other players.

IMO it's not something that's really needed nor does it impact the game at all.

Beyond the issue of too many pronouns to implement into the game, displaying each person's prefered pronouns does take up quite a bit of space and would take some time to implement, which could be used for their new game instead.

However, I do find that using "They/THem" by default for every skin to be a good way to solve the issue. It's less time and confusion, plus it removes all complaints
Damn I'm too lazy to add anything.

If you see "Purple Popcorn" in your game I love you.

Except calling someone with multiple personality disorder ''they'' or ''them'' could be seen as offensive

They/Them is also plural. It would be referring to all "personalities" of someone with DID.
