LORDAdolf: It's an important topic. I'll be reporting memes as spam.

InkPanther: If you say so. Bringing up SJW, LGBT... and what not is only going to cause conflicts and flamewars. Many of us are tired of that nonsense.

And good luck with that report button.

Edit: oh, and that avatar of yours... Please leave to cause problems somewhere else.
As far as I'm concerned, false flags are on par with memes. Nice try though. That comment is reported too.

Flyingfluffypiglet: Perhaps could have been explained a bit better, but I do get the point and thus wouldn't dismiss nor rate down OP for it. Assuming of course we're dealing with genuine concern and not agenda of its own.

That GOG sells some games mentioned by fellow Goggers is one thing, saying that there is an agenda to it would be making an unfair and and untrue assumption. In that I would more gladly point the finger at (not sure about Steam) but a certain movie/series platform's productions promoting/pushing certain things that are not, shall we say the norm (feeling like I'm walking on eggs here).

At the end of the day, because again it all comes down to personal choices: buy or don't buy, watch or don't watch anything one feels gets pushed/imposed upon and they bulk at.

But again, GOG as I know and am aware of, is about selling games and not pushing agendas.
Thank you for your serious input. I appreciate it.

Because you are, and I believe that is the point. You shouldn't have to.

That's OK as long as this stays on original track and I won't have to regret it. Allow me to point out though that you want to be careful not go so much on the offensive in some of your replies, especially reports threats. That's a sure way to get shot down.

Understand that people all have their own opinions on matters, a good thing in fact unless one wants to live in an Orwellian world.

Indeed shouldn't have to but unless some things go back to their roots and fundamentals... Well 'nuff said I think.

LORDAdolf: I'm considering moving over to GOG since Valve/Steam has sold out to GLAAD.

Is it any better here? I just want to play games without the two genders being bastardized.
Nope, it isn't any better here.

It gets worse: there are a number of GOG games where you don't play as a human! What is this, some kind of inter-species store?!?

I just don't want this thread being turned into some silly meme because a certain group is offended by it.

Too many people avoid this topic because they don't want to deal with the potential backlash that comes with it.

Actually someone calling himself Lord Adolf shouldn't be surprised that he gets suspected of wanting to cause trouble and of being extremely right-wing.

But then again, self-reflection is probably not your thing. If it was, you wouldn't chose such a name.

Ah, ok. Never was aware of them. But then again I never was interested in fighting about someone's sexual orientation. I never got why someone wants to identify as something they are not - apart from role-playing of course. But I also never got why some people are so scared of anything outside of the norm. Anyone can have sex in any way they chose as long as everything is consensual.

I made this account in 2016. I would change it if I could, so just disregard that.

Ah, ok. I think support might be able to help you with a name change, if you want it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just sent a message to support.
Bizarre reason, GoG features games from LGBTQ backgrounds, so if you're willing to reject Steam for offering titles like that, then i'm not really sure what you hope to achieve here...or in most places to be fair. The mere existence of people offends you then i think video games are the last thing you should be introspectively reflecting upon.

This passive-aggressive schtick is overused. You know exactly what I was referring to.
Well I've seen plenty of games on Steam that suggests at least this "GLAAD" doesn't influence Steam game selection.

I prefer to think of the numbers of "genders" that a person can have as ZERO. You are who you are, there is no need to identify as anything, that's just a unnecessary label. Now if someone with a penis is getting abused for wearing frilly dresses etc., that has to be prevented. Let people do as they want with themselves.

I do think it makes sense to have a gender neutral term for practical purposes, like let's say you don't even know anything at all about the person you're talking to. And both "they" and "it" are too awkward for talking about a singular person.

And it makes sense to have bathrooms and changing rooms where you aren't getting abused or judged. It would actually make sense to just have one bathroom instead of three, since people don't walk around bathrooms nude normally and bathroom stalls exist.

With almost everything else, it's alot to do about nothing.

If you do not like the subject of a game or the opinion of its developers do not buy the game. What is the issue here?
