How woke is this game?

[Yummynomnom]

Does have this have dei characters, they/them people going on rants? How many gay black male couples? I'm asking as a black guy, I'm just tired of seeing it

Banning this guy doesn't do the game any credit.

Now Asmongold gets a free video about how steam mods are censoring any criticism.

Enjoy your Ban, Anti-Woke :)

playing as a woman isnt woke

For the anti-woke morons it is

I'm not really into this woke/anti-woke thing, but it definitely seems more complicated than that.
From what I can see, in general (with a few exceptions as usual) “anti-woke” people don't have problems with women, black people or LGBT people. It's been around in games for a long time.
What they object to is when the writing, immersion, gameplay etc is sacrificed because the devs want to get a message about modern sensibilities across in their games, in a particularly unsubtle way.
This is all the more glaring when the game is set in an ancient/fantasy era but tackles these modern subjects, or uses current thermes that break any form of immersion, escapism, or even “magic”.

A perfect recent example is Dragon Age Veilguard.
You don't have to be an “anti-woke” to see that the writing in this game is a disaster, many people who are probably not the image you make of “anti-woke” argue in this sense.
Are they anti-woke anyway? It would seem so, according to your definition...

I just have the impression that people created an imaginary monster, the Anti-Woke, which is closer to a demonic creature that hates everything in this world, than to a simple human nostalgic for a time when we could and knew how to tackle sensitive subjects in a subtle way without breaking the magic of a game.

bad game = woke
92 metacritic ≠ woke (obviously)

I swear to God I hope there is some butch, black, lesbian, disabled woman later on in this game that lectures us about something that triggers all of you clowns.

That would be chefs kiss!

really people can you do anything else that hate?!

you accuse "anti-DEI/woke" of being hateful, but i'm reading this post and posts like this and all the hate comes from the people who defend woke... It makes you think...
Sure can be trolling, but still...

People why the hate?!
Some people want woke games- good for them
Others don't want it . some of us don't want political agenda. Sure woke today is a term that can mean anything, but a civilized conversation should be possible...
We are not kids anymore...

Also happy because someone got banned?! Really?! wow...

Because it's annoying, both of you woke and non wokes. If a game is good a game is good, no matter if the protagonist is a dude bro or a therian transexual brontosaurus with a pink wig. But you make it all about it and blow things out of proportion, because of your retarded culture wars.

90% of the posts in any forum are annoying to some people. just ignore them!

for many is hard to like a game if they don't identify with the character. That's because the best choice is to allow player to decide if he's gay/straight/white/black etc (when it makes sense). But a question doesn't hurt anyone. You don't like it, ignore it :)

love it when people deface themselves, go on op, enjoy this kind of existence

OP is a troll. They show up posting hyper-woke or anti-woke BS to try and farm points. Valve should just ban their accounts from EVERY discussion board.

Many comment because they "harvest" awards... And I agree, it was not the best idea, because it encourages trolling
