 @43a37488 @Rasterman @SapientPearwood The character creator alone makes Baldur's Gate 3 shit in my eyes:

It only lets you select "body type" and "identity", not your sex, "nonbinary" is a valid category, the default human being is a nigger etc. 

Some people also mock the game for having a vitiligo option. I have no strong opinions on that, but apparently that's also a somewhat advanced form of virtue signaling. 
 @Christi Junior @Rasterman @SapientPearwood yep also you can't really make good looking female characters.
most options have a certain level of dykeness to them 
 @Christi Junior @Rasterman @43a37488 @SapientPearwood Vitilogo is straight up Tumblrism diversity shit. I know a guy who has it and the topic is very awkward to even breach but every hint I get is that he'd much rather not have it. 
 I know a guy who has it but he's white and you'd never know he had it unless he told you.

I've known him for maybe a decade and had no idea. 
 @Christi Junior @Rasterman @SapientPearwood @43a37488 specifically what I mean by Tumblrism is that it gets pushed by Tumblr centric artists and/or orbiters of those kind of circles. If you see some fan art or an OC with vitiligo you can guarantee it's a piece by some they/them weirdo fetishizing a skin illness. 
 @52791e0c @Rasterman @43a37488 @SapientPearwood So it's a weirdo fetish, and not diversity/representation bullshit? 
 The character creator bullshit really had me pissed off. No one wants to start out with nignog characters. Jesus, just give me a fucking Drow if you want to start out with a dark skinned character, not some retarded jungle bunny. 
 @Christi Junior @43a37488 @SapientPearwood I've seen a tad of BG3 gameplay because Warski made an Ethan Ralph dwarf and PPP reads his lines in character. Seems like a real game with real mechanics... but with that much pandering for the worst people in society, it's never gonna be a good game to me. :drake_dislike:
