Woke Controversy

[ZigMelon]

There have been a plethora of people voicing their concern about KCD 2 becoming "woke" and I do understand their frustrations, like Henry being straight from the first game to him becoming bi in the second game. But people are taking these things way too serious, it's not getting shoved down your throat like most games. It only affects maybe 5 minutes of the entire hundreds of hours of game play.

I'm against DEI and woke as much as the next person, but this game is by far the less woke game I've seen. Did people forget that it was heavily implied that Sir Istvan Toth is gay in the first game and his partner was Erik? https://kingdom-come-deliverance.fandom.com/wiki/Istvan_Toth Hell, he even slapped Henry's ass when Henry was in captivity and said "Like they say, the stronger dog ♥♥♥♥♥ the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and war is a nasty business."

At the end of the day, if you don't want to play the game because you think it's too woke, go ahead, vote with your wallet. But like I said earlier, this game is by far the less woke game I've seen compared to other games. But I enjoyed the hell out of the first game, and I will enjoy even more out of this game.

That's what the players do. They vote with their wallet. But woke fans started calling them fanatics for this and blaming them in every possible way.

If people don't want to participate that's fine. The rational act would be not to interact in the game forums.
However, this anti woke thing has over-stepped the line for KCD2. It is explicitly impinging on the free agency of other people to make their own decisions.
The wheel has turned full circle
