My friend group did a video game Secret Santa back in January. Incidentally, I think 6 out of the 7 games had some form of pronoun choice, with like 4/7 directly letting you choose and the other two being a character selector with fixed pronouns for the characters. Cassette Beasts was the first game opened, and there were quite a few references to that one streamer yelling about pronouns.
I didn't even know you could romance any partner you wanted or what that would even be like. The only experience I had with pronouns were the character select and it was just an option for they/them. Then Frankie, but you had to practically beat most of the game to see her and it doesn't outright say she is trans she just has a little trans pin on her bag. Totally avoidable I guess if you're a bigot. I gotta say I got down with my boy Barkley and never looked back. Dog over people any day.
