The new Mass Effect board game has pronouns on its character sheets. The designer called anyone who complained about it a "manbaby". I'll be returning my copy, and I rated it a 1 on BGG.
I was then immediately kicked off the website I've been a member of since 2012 because of my religious beliefs that differ from the extremist gender ideology of the designer. Why the bigotry and exclusion, @BoardGameGeek?

Gatekeep your hobbies. Keep the woke extremists out. They will ruin your hobby in the name of "inclusion" and then kick you out and tell you you aren't welcome.
My review even expressed a desire for more inclusion and diversity and they still kicked me off the site :(
This also reminded me that a few years a go I replied to a BGG thread where someone said she was offended by the gendered nature of the term "dudes on a map" (referring to games with, you know, primarily male soldiers on a map, like Risk or Axis and Allies).
My comments were deleted and I was told by the admins that I was not allowed to disagree with the poster, no matter how polite I was.
