How are you all complaining about "wokeness" and how the world has gone sensitive. You're triggered about a disclaimer message. The lack of self awareness is embarrassing, you're all as sensitive as the people you're pathetically trying to clown on.

It isn't normal to put warnings that more or less shame the content (and consequently you for liking it). There isn't even anything antiquated or radical in this game, it's not even old. Like, does this really need the same kind of warning you'd put in front of Song of the South or something like that? People are tired of this attitude. It's so performative, all it does is empower malicious, manipulative people to pretend to be victimized and exploit these ridiculous new standards.

Also, the "you're just as bad as the people you're complaining about" thing doesn't apply if you aren't the ones rocking the boat in the first place.

have you seen bg3? that game is woke af and it didn't go broke. in fact, the wokeness made it sell better since more ppl heard about the game that way. the more you complain, the more free advertising you give them lol

BG3 was successful in spite of being woke. It's 100% the exception to the rule. It was also directly funded by Tencent which is just a proxy for the Chinese government, so it's no surprise it was successful considering the sheer amount of money dumped into the project and how many years it was in development for. And big surprise, now Tencent are rumored to be looking to purchase D&D. I guess you could technically consider a Communist dictatorship to be "woke". They're just as authoritarian.

I don't think you understand what cancel culture is. The people trying to cancel people were harassing them, their employers, trying to ruin their lives, make them unemployable. There are several cases where it ended up ending people's lives. Choosing not to buy a video game is not "cancel culture".

That's one aspect of it, participating in boycotts over something people disagree with is also called out as cancel culture regularly by right wing bigots.

Don't get me wrong, I fully support people voting with their money even if I think this "controversy" is completely ridiculous, it's just the hypocrisy that gets me.

Theres no cancel culture because nothing on it has been canned or censored, there just some people triggered and making things up by a simple disclaimer slide at the intro, and that is.

Hell, theres ppl saying they will modd it to remove the slide .

Anyone can decline to spend money on a product for any reason, or for no reason at all. That is an absolute right that every consumer has.

Using "right wing bigots" as a straw man and means to raise or lower a particular bar for everyone else is the completely ridiculous occurrence here.

Really? Is there a legislation for that ? Man people in US are going crazy.

How so? The entire concept of cancel culture is pushed by people who don't believe people should face consequences for their bigoted actions.

The only bigoted entity here is Crystal Dynamics.

No, there is not. CD's virtue signaling is wholly unprompted.

This is the way.

In both cases, Crystal Dynamics wins right now. Boycott it and fewer people get "exposed" to something they deem harmful. Buy the game and you fund these woke bastards.

Lose-lose, unfortunately. Let's bring down ESG for good, boys.

great so crystal dynamics wins? so you can buy a modern tomb raider that isn't deemed problematic?

just so you know, the game is remastered and published by espyr, not crystal dynamics depicted in that message.

How is CR 'winning'? You think their goal is to spend hundreds of thousands on a title and then not sell it?

A woke warning is to stop people crying,

them removing parts of the game would be woke

They just covering their asses

Oh my god please canceld movies like Jango because the N bomb is dropped too often, please ban South Park because it constantly makes fun of Jews. Even if it's sarcasm and irony! Please change and ban everything that is somehow politically incorrect! The game was produced over 28 years ago when minorities weren't crying yet! Because they were not heard. Today, anyone can start a ♥♥♥♥ storm if they want to. In social media, there are always some weirdos who agree, gather and get loud at some point. Tomb Raider 28 years ago put what was okay for all of us! Even if that's no longer the case today, it shouldn't be changed because that's exactly what the world was like 28 years ago! That's why I think it's all the more important that DC say we'll leave it as it is because that's how people thought back then! In the past it was normal to call someone gay today it is an insult for many and they would rather be called homosexual or otherwise loving! The whole thing just makes you want to puke! Please respect my feelings, namely that I am not interested in your feelings. CD's idea was clearly to make a game for racists! *irony* and *sarcasm

I mean I'll just mod the warning out. laura still has tits
