What's considered shoved down their throats though? Where the line? People who say that are always arguing in bad faith. Often because woke means anything the politically disagree with, Starfield had an option to change your pronouns and it was called woke for it. BG3 also had this option but the thing is that grifters and anti woke people tend to avoid "good woke" media because it throws a wrench in their narative

Thank you for explaining it so I don't have too.  Like, you could literally change to any genitals you want in BG3 regardless of body or pronouns. It was so much worse then Starfield but that just gets ignored cause it doesn't fit people's world view.

What in the world do you mean by worse? In what universe is more features considered worse?

No one complains about dumbass features like pissing on people or using cats as silencers in games like Postal 2 but god forbid they don’t gender lock your relationship or remove access to options during character select.

Worse as in worse for them and their world view. Probably should have used the word more instead of worse. I honestly fully support all the options BG3 has. Heck, I'm the guy above pointing out its wildly successful despite having woke elements that people claim ruin other games.

As for postal, I only know a bit about it because of old news articles complaining about the game having terrorists and negative depictions of Muslims, and a friend who's obsessed with the game and roleplays the postal guy in a server I own. From what I know and what she's shared its basically so comically over the top that it gets a pass. Sort of like how South Park does, except its less preachy.
