If you want to create a variable named “woman” or “man”, you'll be banned.

You want to write normally, add a string without inclusive language the system will detect it and you will be banned.

The scenario of your game includes a heterosexual couple, or no diversity, the mention of a gender, the slightest thing that may seem toxic you will be banned.

It's crazy to see the Unreal supporters on the ground in shock, peace be with them all for the time they wasted using Unreal...

It considers term like 'whitelist' and 'blacklist' as discriminatory language.

This is just word policing for the sake of word policing in code.

cool, nice. I mean what, is the world going to be a worse place if we remove those phrases?

you could see it as silly or overreactive but i really dont care if we use new terms

The issue is actual punishment for terms that literally have no discriminatory meaning.

Nothing else screams Inclusive™ as expecting everyone else to bend over backwards over nonsensical black-and-white thinking.

Are you saying that it requires to be LGBTQ or is only male/female allowed?

"Unreal Engine" is a game development engine. A programmer can create whatever they want on it, which could include multiple genders. There is no logical reason to limit that.

By default it has: male / female / others

You could customize that as desired via C++ code...

namespace dna
{
    enum Gender
    &123;
        male,
        female,
        other,
    &125;
}

There is already multiple Unreal Engine games available, which are LGBTQ.
