The thing is it's only just tangentially related to trans rights. I mean they're making a character creation screen and they do need to know what pronouns to refer to the character as in game dialog as the player is playing it. So they need to know that for the game to work.

These fools seem to want Bethesda to add logic to restrict the pronouns on the character creation screen. So it's not that they're angry that Bethesda made an effort to be inclusive. They're angry that Bethesda didn't put in an effort to explicitly exclude trans people.

That and I think they're just generally triggered over the word "pronoun." Triggered by words that describe words. There's something very wrong with these people.
