The Anti-Woke Mob Has Become Just as Bad as the Woke Mob

[Gibbel]

It’s funny how history repeats itself. Once upon a time, people complained about "woke culture" forcing ideology into everything—movies, games, even their breakfast cereal. But now, the so-called anti-woke crowd has become exactly what they claimed to hate.

A single female character shows confidence? Woke propaganda! A game dares to include diversity? Forced agenda! A fantasy world bends historical accuracy just a little? Cultural Marxism!

Meanwhile, these same people are screeching about “historical realism” in a medium where you can guzzle ten potions in a row, carry 50 swords in your pocket, and survive being set on fire—because, of course, realism only matters when it’s convenient to their narrative.

The worst part? It’s no longer just criticism. They demand that games, movies, and books cater entirely to their tastes. They want devs to fear backlash if they include even a whiff of inclusivity. It’s the same kind of ideological policing they used to mock—just from the other side.

In the end, they’ve become what they swore to destroy. And frankly? It’s embarrassing. 🤡

sure sure, there is only the wokists trying to force their agenda but normal people saying they dont want that are "equally bad" go defend wokeness somewhere else.

straight up harassing the steam forums is very funny considering if the opposite was done, you guys would laugh saying they are "coping and seething"

Makes no sense to me either, games with relationship options have included a gay path for years now, decades even. This isn't something new, and isn't Henry a fictional character? The player decides the paths he follows.

The pendulum has swung way past what’s reasonable. Games with diversity have been around since the ‘90s, and nobody cared. But now, any form of inclusion gets scrutinized like it’s some grand conspiracy.

I get it—wokeness has undeniably ruined its fair share of games. But this isn’t one of them. If this game had been released before the whole culture war nonsense, nobody would have batted an eye. The fact that people are losing their minds over basic character choices just proves how far things have spiraled.

Henry was canonically straight, he was retconned to be bisexual to pander, that is the issue.

People pretending that it is the inclusion of gay romance at all are just dishonest.

Please do not pretend KCDI and KCDII divert greatly. It is not a minor thing.

Hate to break it to you, but wanting no gay people in gaming, is also an agenda

[Sleepysteve]

Absolutely. The pendulum has been swung so far left, so deep into INSANITY for so long now that the only reasonable thing to expect is for it to swing waaaaayyyyyyy right. hopefully in the years to come it will normalize. For now, if you are a leftie, times are gona be tough for ya.

Simple as.

uhuh? where is the point of the backswing that is reasonable?

My end-point is right wing identity politics.

"Inclusion" is a feminist term basically meaning exclusion and yes we should get rid of it, we should get rid of any identity politics in society because it is harmful and wrong.

Biased or misleading information that is used to influence the beliefs of others.

For example, sticking homosexuals and homosexual behaviors in video games without mentioning the negatives, leading people to believe that homosexuality is equal to heterosexuality.

while i am in agreement with you that heterosexuality and homosexuality are not of equal terms, since the majority (and i mean majority) believe that they are equal, they cannot be defined as propaganda since that is the status quo, at least by most people you ask on the street

Great who is asking for that? I have not seen anyone around.

That doesn't magically make it acceptable or morally good.
