Does the word "woke" mean anything anymore?

[troinliveshere]

I guess the dead internet theory is true if people won't stop changing the meanings of words constantly. There's "words change meaning over time," and then there's "eh, I'll just use this word for whatever I feel like using." This keeps happening and it's obnoxious, especially in this case where it's those types of people going on and on about "wokeness" in media when this game fits none of that intended meaning (I don't see any agendas in this game). I'm living in a world of crazy people and I don't think those people are even real (or maybe I'm the crazy one and the joke's on me).

Update: I guess I really do live in a world full of crazy people because things have gotten worse. People are going as far as vandalizing Wiki pages. I don't know what they did with the Silent Hill Wiki, but on the Wikipedia page, they changed the review scores to give the illusion that the game is being reviewed poorly on other websites by changing most of the scores to zero! That is pathetic and I've never seen these types of people act so desperate before that they're willing to vandalize pages like that! I don't care about the kind of stupid crap that I'm about to mention but I thought that it might still be worth mentioning since it further proves my point about this whole mess. Apparently, some sort of "modern audiences" quote was taken out of context where it was actually talking about things like controls and not "agendas."

linguistic drift? in *my* adventitious neologisms? it's more likely than you think!

Tbf it's not as bad as the other side calling anything and anyone they don't like nazis and bigots, doxing them and then contacting their employers to get them fired.

Yes because there are only two sides
Keep arguing
There is no nuance.

no people who spam the word are just people unable to think for themselves and follow grifters who tell them how to think.

Fax the second the game becomes popular enough people will do a 180 and talk about how it actually "saved gaming."

they did this with bauldrs gate.

they did this with hades

they did this with space marines recently.

they are currently doing this with monster hunter wilds.

It literally just means "Thing I don't like" now. It never had meaning, and was always just a way for people to stop being openly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic etc etc.

Like remember when people called Starfield woke because you could pick pronouns, and those pronouns were never said at all in the game?

the same can be said for the other side lol... they sure love calling everyone the disagree with nazis. remember hogwarts legacy? they loved harassing people who were streaming it. very tolerant group of people

All people that ever existed with a left wing view are HL harassers, more at 11! my Asmongold video told me so!

no clue what happened on the hogwarts legacy forum because that game was of no interest to me. I've seen less examples you make then random people spamming "is this woke."

so honestly the anti woke crowd are the most obnoxious.

It keeps changing because certain people hate changes. Be it positive or negative.

They called Baulders Gate 3, Resident Evil 2/4, and WoW: The War Within "woke" and those games did amazing. Buzzwords tend to be used by the less educated.

This.

[Ogami]

No it lost all meaning and is just basically short for " i do not like X" .
Can be used for anything by now.

Woke means conforming with "the message", its more important than doing art, which naturally "offends" someone.

SH2 is quite tame, made for "modern audiences". its safe and boring, woke

Shoo!

Go back to Drinker, tourist!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah he's a tourist. Go back to the asmongold clickbait mate, isn't there another arrow pointing at a fat lady clickbait thumbnail for him to click on?

well people shouldn't be harassed for playing hogwarts legacy since jk rowling says stuff on twitter which the left dont like lol.

being harassed for playing any games has been on going since gaming existed. claiming it's unique to any political spectrum is foolish.
