The OP even avoids linking to it so here it is:
https://rpghq.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1122-no-alphabets-2-2-baldur-s-gate-3
According to the website the mod pack ensures that the gender and sexuality of world NPCs match medieval status quo so the top comment in the thread is "what about the fantastic elements!!1!!1!"
This dramanaut points out that y'all wont be mad if it was a straight character turned gay
Just don't install it if you dont want it magically summons a comment chain(idk what happens in the baldur's gate games)
This redditor thanks OP letting it know about the mod and is downmarseyd

They love their "muh not historical it's fantasy" argument until I point out that since it's entirely fantasy that doesn't need to conform to demographics, I don't have to include gays or blacks at all.
I've never had a player attempt to have their PC
out, but if they did I'd remind them that trans characters don't exist because the gods make sure everyone gets the right body ![:marseywholesome: :marseywholesome:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseywholesome.webp)

It's a lesbo in this case.

One of the worst possible examples of "representation" too. Once you reunite her with Isobel, literally every other fricking dialogue she has is about fricking her. The dialogue is basically "I'm a lesbian and I am going to have lesbian s*x with my girlfriend. That's right, we're going to have lesbian s*x, not straight s*x, LESBIAN s*x. BTW did I mention we're LESBIANS?"
The fact that she's an angel or some shit is way cooler, but they keep glancing over it to focus on the angry lesbian part.

lol male feminists at mortal kombat ree over mods which still have female characters in more clothes than MK9
and im gonna explain what I mean by male feminists
not actual male feminists, but dudes who dislike what they call coomer shit (which is an ok take by itself), but want to sound superior, so they use feminist theory and few links of peer reviewed opinion pieces to shield their personal preferences.
i seen one of these dudes in mk sub a few days ago, involved in 50 comment long argument about how much he cares about negative effects of women being sexualized in media
ive actually read sources he linked....let's just say, he should have too
because those sources were as legit as if I posted results of a survey given to current top 20 pornstars and ask - do you like porn industry.

I love the "It doesn't affect you" argument, because in reality it very much does and that's why people get so upset about it.
If you are a leftist you want to see the world move in a leftist direction so you will put gay people and communists in every piece of media and claim that it doesn't affect anyone else. But ofc the reason they are in the media in the first place is to affect others.
The same is naturally true when rightoids use the argument to justify moving media in a direction they want to see the world change.
It's just incredibly childish to have both groups systematically lying to each other and intentionally talking past each other because the alternative would be admitting that the state of media that they desire isn't just the "Norm" but instead the result of a concerted effort.

Though in this case, 'it doesn't affect you' is true only for one side. A mod existing for a single-player game that you don't want to install only affects the one player.

Leftists would make the same argument about gay pride nights at clubs and drag queen story hour, and it isn't true then either. Things don't exist in a vacuum, ideologues want to change society and the existence of differing viewpoints is actively harmful to their cause. The "It doesn't affect you" argument is farcical no matter who is using it.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I don't think it's always farcical, just that so often it's applied by ideologues, as you say, so they're hypocritical about what does and doesn't affect them.
Which is funny when the easiest way to not have something affect you is to not have it presented to you constantly, but people can't stop sharing outrage bait and therefore making it affect others. This mod only affects those complaining about it because they know it exists; they know mods they don't like exist in the abstract, but it only becomes a problem when it's so specifically brought to their attention.
It's the whole basis of the whole
discussions here, because as posters keep saying, the original story might be fake but the seethe generated is real.

No it's farcical no matter what, if you don't want baseball in society and some kid 2 towns over picks up the sport then that affects you indirectly because it normalizes the idea of playing baseball. it doesn't matter if you personally see it or not. The only time something doesn't affect you is if it is done in secret with the idea that it will never be discovered.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I was starting out disagreeing, but see your point now. The very fact I'd not be liking baseball is proof its existence affects me. I might be able to avoid it, but I'd still have to change the way I do things to accommodate that dislike of baseball, like switching the channel when it's aired on TV.

Well, if they're single player games and it's an obscure mod not even allowed on the main mod sites, that's practically secret.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's not secret in any way though because other people have seen it so it has influenced their view of the world which in turn influences the view of the world of people who interact with them and so forth
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Sure. That influence would be curtailed if they stopped sharing the outrage, though. It only makes its way so far because they have to complain about it to everyone online, rather than ignore it and limit its reach.

For sure, their behavior is dumb if they want to limit its influence, but the rightoids claiming it doesn't affect anyone are pretending just as much as the lefties when they do it.

I really want to know if there is a name, or if someone coined a term, for this type of sociopathic gaslighting. Because it really is fricking creepy how they casually can just straight up lie and use such humiliation and manipulation tactics. Recently there is a similar case of the whole "Starfield pronouns guy" clip (which was also taken out of context BTW) where they post screenshots of Morrowind having a pick character s*x option and try to gaslight that this is exactly the same as pronouns.

Who could have known that if you make "having diverse skin colours, sexualities and identities" your politics and need to include it everywhere, people suddenly become huge racists/sexists/transphobes? It's like with ordinary people developing a dislike of the colour green or the rainbow flag. It's not because they hate those colours, it's because they're used as symbols. Lefties have used black people so much, they have become things you could put onto a flag and now they get upset when they see someone burning it. It's glorious

It's because it's used by eco-communists who glue themselves onto streets and bother the regular citizens about industrial problems. In Europe many countries have what is collectively called "green parties"

Yeah but it's a color that is used without any political preconceptions like red and blue.

It's probably very dependent on where you live and what kind of parties you have. We have red and blue parties, too, but when I think of those colours in a political context they're probably very different from what an American has in mind. Additionally, "going green" is a whole trend that's not exclusively political, so it has more of a presence in every day life (like the products in the store, for example) than an AfD blue and red arrow has, if we're speaking about Germany. Oh, and see, our right wing is blue, American right wing is red. Lefties are traditionally red here

I can't help but feel disgust at adults who play video games. I used to play a bunch myself as a kid, but at a certain age you just grow up and realize that games are pointless.
I feel the same way for using the internet as well, but unfortunately I am too addicted to quit!!!!!
Though, I think at some point I will eventually just stop doing anything online, its all just pointless boring nonsense. The things that bring me joy in life are almost always strickly offline activities.
