    i got a used copy of Tamagotchi life for the 3ds when I was a kid. The original owner was a girl and there was no way to change your own gender so I was just stuck as a girl. At first I hated it, but then I really enjoyed going over to my virtual friends as 2 girls and wishing we were married…

    anyways like 10 years later I am now a woman who likes women. I choose to blame that 8 year old who sold her cartridge to GameStop.

    Also there’s a homosexuality mod now

    edit: the other images are just as hilarious

    In Italy we have a hack ROM called “Pokémon Marron merda” (Pokémon shit-brown) that asks whether you have a dick or a pussy, and if you answer pussy it will reply with “I’m sorry but this game is extremely sexist, so you will now stay stuck in this room with no exit until you reset the game and choose dick”

    > Asks your name

      Later games just show you a series of pictures and ask which one you look like.

      They’ll still choose your gender pronouns based on which picture you choose, though.

      “Hi there nice to meet you. Would you mind sharing your pronouns so I can address you how you’d like to be preferred?”

      Then respect whatever answer you were given and refer to them that way.

      It’s not hard to support people’s identities, it just requires caring enough to respect them. You don’t even have to like it yourself. But if it seems really hard to respect a person’s identity it’s almost certain the problem doesn’t lie with them or their identity.

      just don’t ask for gender? let the player either design a sprite or pick one and pick pronouns or just refer to the player with they/them. Sex is only a fact insofar as the collection of bodily features we commonly refer to as sex exist. the reference to it is still a social choice, and we could’ve just as easily picked another group of features, or none at all.
