Who's them? You think normal people in Germany pushed for this? It's just 68er hippie scum Oberstudienrätin and social studies major retards
Most people don't think about the language or words they are using, so other people think about it instead. Just like how language changes are proposed by a small group of people, rejecting those proposals also happens by another small group of people.
Latinx took off among Spanish speakers, right?

How can a dwarf be a magician in the first place, since they don't dream and can not enter the fade???

It's one of the plot points. In a dlc to inquisition you learn that dwarves were like a hive mind that lived inside Titans, or something like that.

Then evil elves killed Titans and made dwarves as they are

Does everything in this setting just default to "the elves did it" now?

But Arbeiter*innen or Arbeiter:innen did (even though everyone hates those forms) because the gender neutral proposals were rejected.

My friends, worry not. All of our descendants will be speaking Mandarin anyway))

Make sure not to misgender any of them, else you're gonna have to do some pushups to make up for it...
Is this what these people do? Push-ups as a self-flagellation for microaggressions? I remember Andromeda and the baffling line "My face is tired". Who speaks like that? Where did this expression come from? Nobody in the real world has ever said something like that, but maybe that's how they have spoken in the writing room.

Funny that it almost seems like the writer is telling us the only proper way to atone for misgendering is to literally get on your hands and knees and grovel.

You're woefully underestimating (or, in a sense, overestimating) the writing staff for these developers, whose ideal is for everyone to speak like a 30-something Californian progressive woman, and who lack the capability of even imitating contemporary real world diversity, much less creating believable characters in a fantasy or science-fiction setting.

Honestly while it's cool to make fun of this whole fucktrain, discussing devs motivations even remotely serious like that seems pointless or worse to me since they really. Are. Fucking mental. Completely out of touch with the real world.

Nobody uses this crap but some sheltered Elfenbeinturm socialists.

I watched the Shillup review and I am shocked by how horrendous the voice acting is. If Bioware wanted to do a dating sim this should have been one of their number one priorities. Compare this



to the voice direction in Elden Ring, a game I am replaying right now:
