@Gargon667 My Lady Ser was perfectly reasonable for Brienne of Tarth :D

Has something been done?
I noticed "My Brothers and Sisters" today...
Although it kinda fits the brief, it lost its Awesomeness....

Autumn, you'll always be my Beneficent Collaborator •́ ‿ •̀

In more gendered languages than English I could see it being a big hale attempting to rework things.

I think a few people have also missed that binary gender (m/f) is not always a reality for some folk, so greeting "both" sorts of people is still not all-inclusive.

Baby steps! But yeah .. just putting my preferences out there.

As far as I know, Elvenar is just a videogame for people to have some fun out of the repetitive and monotonous political correction that invades the media today, not a political or ideological medium.

The moment Elvenar begins to act as a mean of spreading a certain ideology or way of thinking to please a certain group of people, I´m out of here. And... since many people that play this game are grown adults which are based by a more conservative reasoning and not by certain young trend of these days, I could bet they are going to leave also, and... I don´t think Elvenar want to lose more players that those they lost by the past tourney changes (they lost lot of players).

I really like this idea. I had not really noticed the gendered nature of some messaging, but agree that it can easily be modified to be inclusive. And as I play in two worlds, with Elves and Humans, it would be good to avoid racist terms!

I would say the % of people playing games to escape political correctness is miniscule. I can come up with 100 better reason to play games than that ;)

Well I would say Inno has never done anything else that try to please a certain group (the people that pay them). What you call ideology may not be to others and vice versa.
