Does anyone even install these mods or do they just exist for people to get outraged at?
I would imagine a bare handful of people install them.
There's some number of people who are so angry and stupid that the mere sight of something like an option to choose pronouns fills them with blind, seething rage, so for them, mods like this are essentially QOL improvements.
More's the pity...
I've seen that in videos, but I always assumed it was for show to get their viewers riled up. I honestly can't imagine an actual person doing this on their own, unless they were encouraged to do it by some influencer.
As in, how many people fire up a game, get mad that pronouns exist, and then search online for a "fix"? I think that number is pretty small.
But then again, I tend to be pretty careful about distancing myself from bigots.
I think that number's pretty small too.
I'm just saying that it's not zero.
