@lackbarwastaken yes and no, it also depends on what the person in question deems more important.
honestly i couldnt care less if this got added or not and personally i also think i wouldn't really change much when pirates address eachother because 99/100 times unknown pirates get addressed by their appearance.
female pirate: hey mam/lady
male pirate: hey man/dude
crab outfit: crablord
fat: big boy/gal
etc etc etc
I think in general the whole LGBTQ+ movement is a good thing, every human shoud have the same basic rights HOWEVER i do think that some people take it too far and want their views and beliefs to be broadcast everywhere they set foot and thats where i draw a line and without passing judgement to anyone here i do think this could be just such a case.
what does it matter how anyone calls you in a game as long as it isn't derogatory in nature ? and with the nature of (young) gamers i would just feel that stuff like this basically makes it easier for people like that to use derogatory language or hurtfull stuff towards people that dont have the "stereotypical" pronouns.
