I think you’re the one losing context here, probably because you’re arguing in a language that you are not good at. I gave that example because you defended changing the name “Women” and said, “I’ve already seen many people adopt the term ‘Civilian’ without any issue.” And the examples you showed were messages from before the update anyway. No, the people who actually play the game don’t call them that. Maybe a small group on the forum approaches the issue from a nerdy, overly technical angle and see things with such classifications. But I’m talking about real matches in the lobby, what players actually say in-game, not forum terminology.    You’ve portrayed yourself quite innocent here but that’s not how it happened. I was actually simply expressing my opinion in a normal way, I didn’t even tag you. Yet you jumped in with “And what you’re saying here is nonsense.” It wasn’t some calm, neutral “I just asked why it’s a bad change and now we’re discussing arguments, that’s all.” That’s not how it unfolded. I’m not sure whether to attribute this to a lack of language nuance or something else entirely. But if you genuinely value the idea of freely expressing opinions, then you shouldn’t immediately try to shut down views you dislike by labeling them as “nonsense.” Turning the issue into a kind of TG mainland with your allies and then framing it as “I was just sharing my opinion” doesn’t work. Yes it adds confusion and nothing else. That's my point. Politically speaking: Removing women altogether isn’t exactly a brilliant move either. I think it would have made more sense to keep the “women” unit and maybe even make it a better. Right now, the game has completely erased the only position women held. The “women” unit had its own unique role and abilities. Even her voice alone added a sense of balance to the game. Removing it now feels like an almost anti-women move. At least Ptolemaic hero Cleopatra is still around thankfully lol The update, claimed to bring “realism,” actually introduced wizards who deal things like “aura damage” into the game. If you genuinely say, “Let’s produce some CiViLiAnS” while playing, you are a robot bro.  

How dare you....

Hi @Riley S.  You are doing nothing wrong. I believe this is a bug from R28.  You can check it out here: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/8735

It's not about "let them be equal to men". They are not showed as equal. 

I call them "Civilians," checkmate and gg..
