It has been well known for a while that BG allows modification to genitalia. It isn't woke bashing enough to say, BG allows someone to make a trans character. Their base doesn't give a fuck about someone playing a computer game but add in the extra feminist shtick about larger penis size and boy howdy, that's some wedge issue cultural war bullshit to flog clicks.
It's some wedge issue culture war bullshit that'll ultimately help sell more copies of Baldur's Gate.
I think it's awesome that we can create characters from marginalized people in current society, when people get used to something it becomes normal and accepted. It's a good thing, not some wedge issue. We need to be more accepting of people that do nothing but be themselves as long as it's not trying to push down others.
Most definitely. The thing with BG delivery of the opportunity to create marginalised characters is that it was largely done without fanfare, it's just an option.
That's exactly what angry gammons say they want, so the papers are trying to stir the pot with this absurd female dick angle.
