Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

    Not fair to lump all conservatives into one group. That’s like saying liberals and leftist are all the same when they’re clearly not.

    PS: I’m center-right and I fucking love Starfield!!!

      You might be right it isn’t fair to lump all conservatives together.

      Considering the amount of blatant misinformation acceptance required to be a Republican these days I think it’s pretty fair to lump all Republicans together.

      The issue is that Republicans have historically represented conservative viewpoints, so they are spoken of synonymously. The Republican party is so distorted that it is arguably no longer conservative in any recognizable way, but because it used to be the conservative party (and because they still claim to be conservative) you get a lot of people considering them the same.

        Why do you assume a centre right person is an American Republican? Other countries exist with their own political landscapes.
