i hope this actually gets put in somehow as Titles or able to be put at the end of our pirates name Example AdaADHD (She/her). I've been playing a lot of custom seas and high seas and everyone always says "got him" for example. maybe they would correct themselves if we actually had pronoun's some people have been saying he/him or your a guy while spawn killing and when asked if they are transphobic they say yes. I'm on sea of thieves to have fun and laugh not get called a guy deal with transphobes. it can even happen if I'm not using my mic.
Pronouns Please
I’ll be brutally honest, if someone is being transphobic and is intentionally disrespecting your pronouns, this won’t make them start respecting them.
It’s not a bad idea, I just don’t think it will get the use you hope it will, if anything, it might be a conduit for more transphobia as people will be looking for the pronouns to get under your skin.
I don’t mean to sound like a robot or obvious here, but if someone is being toxic towards you, you can record the behaviour and report it to the support team. It can be a coin flip sometimes but my experiences are more 70/30 ban vs no ban, the 30 could be chalked up to lack of evidence. I would not suggest using the ingame report feature
I hope your experiences on the sea against other players improve and you see less transphobia
I think @Boneheart1237's is right and that adding your pronouns would paint a target on you and you'd likely experience more transphobia rather than less.
That being said, I still support the option of displaying your pronouns if you want to.
It's a bit like flying the pride flag on your ship. It's not going to protect you from anything. If anything it draws more aggro. But I still fly it whenever I sail, and if the option to include my pronouns comes up, I'll do that too. As Boneheart says, if someone wants to be transphobic, including your pronouns probably won't stop them, but I support the option for wider reasons of increased visibility and normalisation.
And just to echo the above, if you can get evidence of someone openly admitting that they're transphobic, definitely report them if you can, though I know it's not always as easy as that.
@adaadhd sagte in Pronouns Please:

… other guys play Sea of Thieves to have fun while not expecting nor wanting to have to deal with gender ideology.
I love inclusivity and representation, and that’s why I find it frustrating that Rare introduced a progress pride flag back in pride 25’ but haven’t added any other inclusive flags since (over a year).
No Mental Health awareness month flag
No Autism Awareness month flag
No Cancer screening awareness week flag
No Disability Awareness month Flag
Ect, EctLet’s focus on equal flag representation before we add pronouns.
@adaadhd
The phrase "Got him" does not exist in sea of thieves quick chat. The phrase you are thinking of is "Got 'em!" which is avaliable when holding any weapon except the double barrel pistol, which says "Got 'em! Twice in fact!" instead. 'Em is a colloquial pronoun for them.@spectergames706, arguing that "We shouldn't fix X, until we've fixed Y" is rarely an approach that leads to progress. The change you want is good and you should continue to push for it, but there's no reason it can't make progress side by side with OP's suggestion. There's no need to put including pronouns on hold until we've got equal flag representation, just like we don't need to put flag representation on hold until we've included pronouns. We're on the same team, making progress towards the same goal: accessibility, visibility, inclusion and representation.
