I saw an adult man absolutely lose it over the fact that Starfield has an option for "they/them".
Really? as someone who plays lot of video games, more options is always better, especially in video games, especially especially in roleplaying games, if you don't want to be called They/Them in the game, don't choose it, it's that easy. I personally like it, because now when I eventually get the game (and mods), I can roleplay as this mysterious person who's face nobody has ever seen, and who's voice is also changed by them so that nobody even knows their gender.
The funny thing is, I used to watch this guy some years back, and he's one of those people who call others snowflakes, yet he himself throws a tantrum over pronouns in a video game.
My take on it? Grow up, look at a mirror, and go touch grass.

I haven't kept up with Starfield but it sounds like a similar situation that Forza Horizon 5 had, though I don't recall many influencers talking about it. It was mostly people whining on Reddit and such about how it's difficult for them to pick one of the pronoun options due to personal beliefs. I don't see how it's difficult, unless they're also questioning their own pronouns and are unsure themselves.
I like your idea of using they/them beyond the intended use for it. You can be a mysterious racing driver this way too.
And like any other game really, I imagine there's far worse problems in terms of gameplay in Starfield. FH5 has a problem with random hitboxes in the middle of where you're driving so it could cause your car to stop completely or flip over. The rewind feature is useful but it's GG's in multiplayer if this happens.

This, it has absolutely no effect on the game itself to have an extra option, and especially not their life. To me personally it's even weirder because I don't understand the general obsession with pronouns, partly due to my native language only having one, gender-neutral pronoun.
Like, I personally hate the "say few nice things and boom, the NPC wants to have sex with you." - thing that modern games have, but do I go on the internet to cry about it? no, I just don't interact with that mechanic, even in games like Cyberpunk where it's partly forced on you, I just skip it as quick as I can and move on with the game.

Exactly this too, Starfield has problems, but optional choice you see once in a playthrough is not one of them
