Re: Which gender to use in German translations

That being said, here is the formula: in games , the gender declared by players in their preferences is taken into account to apply the replacements defined by language in sentences containing the player name . Can more gender options be added? Having "woman", "man" and "do...

Re: Be inclusive by adding gender options and pronoun options

"her / his / their" sounds like a reasonable list of pronouns to me Agree. Non-binary people exist and adding an extra pronoun/gender option is a respectful solution. That's already what's being done here if you take the time to look into it. Probably not perfect or complete (BGA was crea...

Continuous Group Chat / Video Call with Friends

When I play games with friends, we often play with video chat on. But any time we end a game, the video chat ends and we have to start it up again in the next game. It would be great to have a way to continue the chat from game to game. If this is already a feature, I apologize for re-suggesting it,...

Re: Discrimination !

Not an expert at color blindness, but are you? There are different kinds of color blindness, and it is difficult to work with all of them. Please consider updating your game algorithms to never use red and green together unless absolutely necessary. That is your sopecific problem, but another perso...

Re: Be inclusive by adding gender options and pronoun options

It's not politeness. What we consider polite is based on what society recognises. What you are calling "politeness" is something being forced onto people by the social pressure of a small group of people shoting loudly. That's really not polite at all. There are two genders in biology... ...

Re: Be inclusive by adding gender options and pronoun options

I'm not sure I see any reason why there should even be an option for players to indicate their gender. There's no option for players to indicate their race, their class, their sexual orientation, their politics, their religion, etc. So why have an option to indicate gender? What's the point? BGA al...

Re: Be inclusive by adding gender options and pronoun options

I agree that gender could be dealt with better on BGA, e.g. by using they/them/their for general text, and for players when they have not explicitely set a male or female gender in their profile. Add Pronoun Options Furthermore, BGA should also add pronoun options because not everyone uses the pron...

Re: Be inclusive by adding gender options and pronoun options

But non-binary extremists insist on there being over 50 genders with pronouns as weird as zhir. There is no point trying to accomodate their demands, there will always be more. Non-binary people are not extremists. Also, as my solution states, the fill in the blank option would easily allow for acc...
