oh wow, leftie nonsense speak. How original.

My guy, you quite literally said "the females."

I prefer to call women "X Chromes" it's more sci-fi/dystopian.

All these "Based Japan" types would ♥♥♥♥ out their mouths if they ever saw the Kesho Danshi/transgender bar Mamas in Japan.

Or Earth Angel Mama literally in every game featuring Kamuro-cho.

Exactly.

It warms my heart to see so many fight back against this kind of anti-woke crap here. I love the Like a Dragon fanbase.

Yeah, the Yakuza/LaD fanbase is pretty awesome overall.

So? what´s wrong with that? what does it matter what specific word I used?

Words and how they are used imply specific things.

Probably. The first one did with bleach japan.

Uh, how the hell is Bleach Japan considered even remotely woke? They were a political movement at best, a bunch of deluded idiots at worst who got used, abused and tossed aside like dirty rags after their usefulness was spent. If anything they were the Japanese equivalent of modern day climate protestors who glue their hands to roads, then act all shocked when they realize they have no choice but to ♥♥♥♥ in their pants for the near forseeable future.

Yeah Bleach Japan is not a woke aspect. They are played off as cartoonish villains.

As for "woke" aspects.

The series has always treated the homeless as human beings asserting that they are often successful people who made mistakes or were unlucky rather than layabouts. It can happen to anyone, all you need is one really bad day.

The games are also been supportive/aware of transexuality.

Sex work isn't demonized and workers are represented as real people.

It's always got that tinge of comedy and satire but the series is very heartfelt and sincere in many aspects when it comes to society. Pushing acceptance and positivity even if it comes off unrealistic or idealistic at times.
Machismo is a common theme but is also subverted often, and the ramifications of toxic masculinity is sometimes dire.

Jesus Christ, I didn't even need to say anything more than a sentence and you showed your entire ass.

thought there was a discussion on transgenders going on as well?
You don´t like my ass? you homophobic?
anyone who don´t want to see my ass must be homophobic. it´s a very nice ass.

I don't think trying this hard is going to get you any free Jesters today, my friend.

game is so woke you will wake up transgender

[Nihi]

I'll try to answer your question seriously, Yakuza is a progressive series of games, but I would say it's not woke.

People claim the game is woke because there's a trans person in Yakuza 3, yeah, that substory was removed in the modern port because the wokes cried about how transphobic it was. That's an own goal.

But it's progressive.
You play with the Yakuza, so you deal with gambling, violence and prostitution. The last game had a lot of plot elements resolve around prostitution, Ichiban was "born" in a Soapland, you saved illegal immigrants prostitutes from far-right activists, but it makes sense, it's not woke because it's not forced down your throat, it is however very progressive.

In a way it's what progressivism should be if it wasn't infected with crazies.

Who cares? I swear it seems that the word “woke” is conservative kryptonite these days. Get over it. The world is changing and becoming more inclusive. Just enjoy the game.
