Every time there is a new game coming out. I go into Social media and what I see is “this game is woke because two dudes are kissing and there is a black protagonists, delete and refund” There are so many people that seem to care about it that I start to wonder if I am the insane one?

like Do these people genuinely believe that artists will stop being political and talk about their beliefs just because you said you don’t like it? or that games will stop being “woke” because like, 3 games flopped for reasons OTHER THAN it was “woke”

Let’s ignore the story quality, graphical fidelity, optimization, gameplay quality, etc… Oh, no! The only reason why this succeeded is because that character has a fat ass! The reason for why that game has failed is because this character said they were non-binary!

like, Just how are people are not tired of this shit? This debate is about as deep as a puddle, has no consequence on real life, and the roots of this debate is based on ignorance and assumptions.

Hell, I got told that the Oblivion remaster was great and “not woke” because it sold more on Steam than AC Shadows Shadows and Dragon Age Veilguard

But also that Oblivion is “woke” for removing male and female and replacing it with Body Type 1/2

    I’ve just started blocking the woke-o-sphere warriors on steam. If you try to engage even on good faith, they will report you and try to get you banned. Got a warning from valves defending queers against anti woke idiots once. So I just block the assholes on sight now.

    I do have a feeling once the reich wears out woke like they did SJW will find a new term.

    That’s a fun exercise what is going to be the new “woke” once Trump’s term is over and Democrats are now right of no-oil?

    They going to recycle hippies?
