If it wasn't a big deal, then why change the greeting in the first place?

To be fully inclusive and entirely gender neutral.

The counter argument seems to be "fuck inclusivity".

The reason theyre changing it to begin with is so they can look good. Virtue signal. Oh look at us! Look how progressive we are!

Its like a contest.

So this was to protect the feelings of people who incorrectly believe there are more than 2 genders?

And here they come. The real reason people are hating on this is to bring their trans hate out. Any excuse.

The thing is, it isn't really any more inclusive. There's no particular need for this and it was done too soon since it is saying that they don't even have new recordings made yet. Right way to do it would be retire the old recordings, put out new ones that are gender neutral and at the same time have the live spoken script changed as well. Doing it like this just causes issues for your employees for no actual benefit.

So you are saying that a trans-man isn't a real man?

And they can file those complaints. If you can present those, I'd like to see them.

You can stop putting words in my mouth any time.

You can be more careful with your words. Read your subtext next time.

Saying someone is wrong =\= hatred. I dont hate you even though you wrongly attributed hatred to my post.

Was there anyone fragile enough to be upset by the use of the phrase ladies and gentlemen? I wonder what made this an issue that needed addressing to begin with, thus leading to news articles about it.


Who knows. I've had it up to here with this political correctness word changing bull shit.

"Oh who cares? hehe"

"The world hasn't ended hur hur!"

Yes, current adults all know that men and women exist. But if this crap continues who knows? Will our children, grand children or great grand children know the difference? What will men and women be called? We're headed down a dark path when our society can't even properly name what people are.

This is a real post on gamefaqs.gamespot.com

Also this is Admiral-levels of digging something up to get "outraged" over, holy shit lol.


No its not. The first amendment dictates we shouldnt have to walk on eggshells while out in public.

This doesnt mean people should go around using racial slurs or bad language, but today, there are literally laws where you can spend up to a year in jail for misgendering a person by accident. Depending on where you are, of course.

Theres a war on the first amendment.

Do some actual research and don't just read the headlines of right-wing articles.
