Please don't be Woke

[Donald Garrison]

I'm tired

[Melodia]

Well if you're tired go to sleep.

And then you too can say you woke up.

Even the most based frenchman is woke to some extent.

90% of the people don't even know what "woke" is. I only care about gameplay and don't care of the state-of-mind of the protagonist.

state of mind can be very important for the story :p But keeping political naratives of either side out of it, or pushing an agenda.
Total freedom like BG3 = amazing.
Having stuff shoved down your throat like veilguard = horrid.

Veilguard is one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.

Vileguard was too much. even for the most left.

it pushed away its art and story to be preachy.

its fine to have options, pronouns, but to include culture war ♥♥♥♥ in a fantasy setting makes no sense

Even saw articles from some of the Über left mega woke saying "it could have been more inclusive but this was a step in the right direction", they are never pleased haha.
If the option is there, i dont care, if its forced its terrible.. like idiots calling Kingdome come deliverence 2 woke, mate u had to take several steps to get the option of a singular bromance that was super optional haha.
We'll have to wait and see i guess

Man - this topic has been mental since that thumb-looking-dude did a ten minute video ranting about being able to choose your pronoun. This entire thing is so performative on the part of the anti-woke crowd, it's actually brain-injuring.

Bah, who gives a ♥♥♥♥ about that, couldnt even care much for body type A/B since its just a more "neutral" reference, either side getting mad about female/male, type a/b is just.. idiotic.
adding an extra option or 82 more options for people is more or less the same.

The dialogue was awful. It's nothing to do with whether or not it was 'woke' or not.

The dialogue in Mass Effect 4 was also awful - "my face is tired" - but people didn't try to claim that was because of the *subject* ('feeling tired')... they knew it was awful because of how it was written. That's exactly the same with that companion.

Better writing would have made that entire character more bearable. The stupid thing is that I expect a hell of a lot of trans people would even agree... being trans doesn't mean you like crap writing.

Also, not unrelated, being a furry isn't left. I don't think it's right either. It's so far out of the mainstream that I don't think it fits either side of the political compass tbh.

Haha, nice to hear that, that part was cringe for someone who leans left as well.

Looks like another "body type" game.
