roll back diversity and inclusion updates

[worldly basalt]

Why is people being included bad?

[languid glade]

it only takes like a second logical of thinking too, just keep narrowing the group of 'acceptable' people and in literal seconds you find yourself being excluded from the dominant group, we shouldnt ever regress to their fragility, if youre tired, go to bed

[quasi valley]

why do you want to assign a sex to a body? It makes more sense to call them bodytype 1/2 than just male/female.

[twilit osprey]

Whatever else would it be about? Please, I'm curious

[brazen solstice]

thank you as well 🩷

notice how when they disagree with you they call you a bot

Dudes dont have breasts and tiny curved bodies 🤷‍♂️

[twilit osprey]

still waiting for any reason to remove these beyond "it's woke" and "I don't like it"

[round thicket]

Its dehumanizing

[twilit osprey]

how so?

[round thicket]

There's no "body type A, body type B" amongst men and woman that can be intertwined amongst one another. Females have a very specific design, just as well as men. Men are designed to compliment woman and vice versa. The body type a and b is very silly

[twilit osprey]

idk how to tell you this but there are masculine women out there

[round thicket]

Outliers dont define the rule of nature

[twilit osprey]

is the existence of these "outliers" as you call them not enough to justify the system?

[round thicket]

Lol

[rigid patrol]

This looks like a soon-to-be-closed thread…

[twilit osprey]

Yeah, probably

I do kinda wish there was a way to actually discuss these sorts of things though. I certainly don't agree with this suggestion but I'd like to actually talk about it. I understand why that can't really happen though

[quasi valley]

"Dudes don't have tiny curved bodies"
Tell me you've never been at a convention without telling me. I've seen dudes (not transfender, cis dudes) with more curves than the average woman

[rigid patrol]

I mean I thought the suggestion was almost satirical, as a response to the removal of pride events. But the discussion kinda derails out of the “game suggestion” realm pretty quick…

[round thicket]

Men dont have curves AKA t's and hips. Only baby bearing bodies can and do without surgery.

If you see masculine female characters in game, you can 100% guaranteed thats a dude who is trolling. Call me a liar lol

New suggestion: add pregnancy to RuneScape

[rigid patrol]

Is there even any direct reference to pregnancy in the game?

[twilit osprey]

I think the closest the game ever gets to any sort of conception is the occasional sex joke

Either way, if anyone actually DOES wish to discuss the merits of the suggestion...

[rigid patrol]

Ik, was directed at Natesky

[round thicket]

I see

[rigid patrol]

I mean, if it is meant as a response to the lack of pride events I do get the point, but I don’t see any direct benefits here.

[round thicket]

Im going to get muted just for commenting on this ⏳

[twilit osprey]

that's what I'm saying

The reasons for removal continue to be "it's woke" and "I don't like it" and like?

These things don't even have a gameplay effect? You can't even see another player's pronoun choice outside of a few random event overhead lines, to my knowledge

[arctic summit]

Aight, that was my two cents, I'm going back to enjoying my pixelated medieval clicker game. I didn't support the trans pandering when they added it, but I don't feel strongly enough to remove it. You do you I guess

[twilit osprey]

seeing as these option only exist in UI elements that are only viewable by you- and only in a few very specific menus, at that- what makes it worth the effort to remove?

[rigid patrol]

Probably not

[round thicket]

The real question is why was it changed in the first place lmao

100% of females who play will always choose the most feminine looking character

[twilit osprey]

who cares why it was changed in the first place? It probably took one dev like 5 minutes and mildly improved the game for a few players. It exists now and I've yet to see a valid reason to remove it

[round thicket]

Then who cares if it gets reverted? Oh wait.....

[rigid patrol]

Ig if it supports inclusion to some, it does no harm… “Wokeness” implemented as subtle as the linked update is so easily ignored I see no good reason to consider reverting it.

[twilit osprey]

the few players it improves the game for? the dev who would have to undo the work "just because"?

[round thicket]

Ermmmmm ^

Its not helping anyone 🤷‍♂️

[twilit osprey]

any stat that starts with 100% has a 100% chance of being fabricated
