KCD2 potential disaster - please don't fail us now.

[KarlThorsten89]

EndymionTV has covered the literal storm surrounding the game the past week or so, and other YouTubers. And... it doesn't look good at all.

From Christian based to NOT Christian based, choice of gayness for Henry, entirely deviating from the first game - yes, we can choose, but this feels incredibly forced to appease woke/DEI cultists that CANNOT be appeased even if you made them all literal Gods, letting them reshape a million universes all they'd like. They'd never be happy anyway. Years of their screaming has proven they not only cannot be appeased, they WILL NOT be appeased. They don't want to be happy, they want to be angry and loud.

Warhorse. You catered to the social and moral equivalent of the Black Death. You catered to the kind of people that destroy everything they get involved with. Concord, Veilguard, Unknown 9, Saints Row Reboot, Suicide Squad, and more.

I dearly hope many of us gamers and "centrists" to simplify it are wrong, that the game will be as amazing as the first, and any activist appeasement is absolute minimal to try and reducde the noise. But you're also owned by EMBRACER GROUP. You might've been forced into this, but the CEO/Director tweets and such - Vavra's recent tweets and attacks on YouTubers DEFENDING HIM... this is not looking good at all for you.

And - just adding. The anti-woke and anti-DEI crowd is taking it too far, but you must understand why. People are SO tired of it!
We want KCD2 to be as amazing as the first game. We don't want to have our experience of the first game destroyed in this sequel. We're tired of radicalist and activist sermons shoving insanity in our faces. We want entertainment, not political screaming. We want a game. Please, let it be a GAME!
Please. Don't let us down. For if you do, we might abandon you, forever.

Jesus Christ be praised.

Yeah the Melonie Mac stuff has split the Anti DEI crowd in half, Rational vs Puritans...

I don't even know what that is about, care to elude me?

Gamers vs Christian Satanic Panic Puritans who view games with woman in bikinis as "porn" in games or just degeneracy.

Basically we have traded 1 censor (the woke croud) for another potential censor...

I just can't comprehend why people would instantly lose their minds over a small detail such as 1 balck npc and the potential to optionally be gay. Especially when they before all this were praising the game like its the second coming of Jesus.

- you answered on your own question. I marked it with bold.

Solution is easy. Just wait. Wait few days and legit reviews are there.
Then buy or not buy.

I hope more people understand "Gay" does not equal woke automatically... its all in execution, pandering, and forcing it on the player. ATM people are doing a damn fine job portraying the entire movement as Homophobic as hell. Which makes me think a good chunk of them are just bad actors because even Veilguard did not get this level of Vitriol.

I just can't comprehend why people would instantly lose their minds over a small detail such as 1 balck npc and the potential to optionally be gay. Especially when they before all this were praising the game like its the second coming of Jesus.

Your logic is stupid. Were and now. Know the difference and what we know now.

My little money won't make difference too i hope?

Yay we have a winner... However I feel the people going super hard to scare people away are trying to do it in a way that they will not even look at reviews. Meaning they are scared the reviews will be positive.

The reason I talked about and compared the previous (past tense) opinion that these people had of the game and the current (present tense) opinion, is to showcase how ridiculous and childish it is to switch up on something like that, especially when its because "ooh gay people, I can't stand the very thought to be anywhere near my beloved game" I suggest you grow up and understand that not everything in the world will be to your liking, and that you can always easily find a silver lining in the game, in this context its the fact the the rest of the game has nothing to do with being gay, interacting with gay characters, or even having to think about the existence of gay people. So I want to know, why care? seriously why would you care about something being in the game that you cannot relate to and can easily avoid?

No gaslighting please. Like in wh40k canon crushing is not acceptable.
I think its cute when my wallet stays close in childish way if Henry has any option to be gay for modern audience tastes.

No one is scared of anything. So emotional.

We just see what it is and then make decisions. Same in every other games too. No need to stress for hidden woke crap. Just wait few days and see what is what.

You do you man, but I hope that one day you realise that you gaslight yourself into not playing a masterpiece of a game just because it had one teeny tiny scary gay kissing scene

Did you even read the post? I am advocating waiting a few days or weeks for the reviews to see and questioning the intent of those who are pushing against that.

Emotional gas lighting. That woke tactic is bit old in 2025 don't you think?

Ahh then I see where the idea is coming from that the anti-wokes are split.

We are not, though I am of the booba fan variety, so there is that.
