So.. why is this considered woke again?

[Mecharion]

Just curios.

Is it about the black Samurai? To be honest its a bit weired that they forced in a black samurai in that time of old Japan but.. its not sooo bad for me. At last they tried to explain it with a character that really exists - even if not 100% fitting.

Also the choice to be gay is not a problem - you have those choices back for a looong time now in roleplay games. Like in Dragon Age Origins for example. As long as its a choice and not forced its fine for me, right? Like in Baldurs Gate 3? Choices are good?

Do i miss something much more worse then this?

If that is all its MILES away from the unbearable political agenda a Dragon Age Veilguard was screaming in your face. THAT was really really terrible.

So.. what do i miss? Does one need to pull a barve later in the story?

Black samurai, woman protagonist. Just wait until Ghosts of Shotei is closer; they're gonna boycott that too. Or try.

ignore it man, it's part of the play

I don't think the game is woke, I think it's bad, it has less stuff than Valhalla, the story is weak and it's very easy and repetitive. But look, I'm a more conservative person than progressive and I don't find it very woke, I think that in these 3 or 4 months of the game they have done a cleaning of all the feminism and wokism that they could. The game is still left-wing like all Ubisoft games but it's not as tiredly indoctrinating as the whole woke ideology.

I am not even sure what woke means anymore.

DO this mental exercise. Let's say Ubislop made a game set in Africa and you could only play as a Japanese killing all the blacks. Would that not be offensive to you?

Its a Buzzword for the far right fascists to explain what they hate.

No idea what you mean since Yasuke was a real Person.

The anti-woke don't have a problem with black people, nor with women protagonists, but with forced inclusion and feminist supremacism, neither of which are present in this game.

And don't bat an eye when it is all white male power fantasy. Then it's "just a good/bad game."

Much like the words nazi and fascist are used as buzzwords to explain the things y'all hate.

Naa.. "woke" means that 1% of the population want to force the rest to accept their sexual fantasys without any doubt or criticism.

Actually the word originated from leftist, so people who use woke are just describing the left lunatics that self proclaimed to be woke.

You cant even get that right huh?

The origin of "woke" is from 1920 to get awarenes of discrimination.

Right wing took the term, strawmanned/misunderstood it, and began using it as a pejorative. The connotation outside of leftist space is largely negative because of this.

Stay woke.
