I'm hearing this game is full of SJW stuff?

[😒]

I've heard two reviews now where they reviewer talks about the police being portrayed as pigs, every cop is bad, and augmented are analogy for racism against black people.
One reviewer said it was overbearing and too forced, maybe to virtue signal to other SJWs?

[Big Ben]

The authoritarian left has actually been pretty pissed at the game. Do some more research.

[Mr. Death]

It's fiction.

[Kai]

Ignorance is worse than compliant.

Stop reading Kotaku bro

The augmented can be a symbol of any oppressed group. There's nothing wrong with that per se. The problem with the SJWs is they're throwing tantrums over nothing and looking for reasons to go into outrage mode. It stands to reason that they'd liken the augmented to BLM or some ♥♥♥♥ too.

If you're just now hearing this, you've missed the last three installments in the series. In some respects the games have been a bit over-the-top on the social agenda, and that includes the original, Invisible War, and Human Revolution. I don't claim to know if this is because the devs were pushing an agenda or because doing it that way just provided an understandable background to the dystopia in which the games were set. I tend to lean a bit toward the latter just to give the benefit of the doubt, but it might really be an Illuminati conspiracy. The best thing about conspiracy theories is that the lack of evidence is proof of how deep and wide the conspiracy really goes.

Everything must be examined for leftist taint these days, they have infected all sectors of society.

Well the cyberpunk genre has it's roots in social rebellion and post-modernism. Social justice is a pretty common trope within this context. I think it just so happens that the current social climate is parralleled by the game. I think it's coincidence, but the devs may have so leftist leanings, or they could be pandering to the public.

Why do you care? SJW is just a fake concept that neckbeards came up with because they don't consider people who aren't like them to be human beings. They can ramble all they want, I'm not listening.

Considering the size of the anti-SJW counter-culture I'd suggest you do some research into why social justice is utter nonsense based on emotional reasoning like what you've just demonstrated. In that light, I have to ask, if you're not listening, then why are you responding?

Because I have no interest in communist, feminist, leftist ideology in my entertainment. That's garbage you get in the real world everyday.

He's probably a lefty himself dude. Don't waste your breath. I think I stepped in it myself by asking him a question that's sure to elicit an inane response.

[Raven Wolfe]

It's a game, a work of fiction where the devs have tried to create a complex alternate universe. I highly doubt that they are trying to provide commentary on real life here, at most they might draw inspiration from it. Websites like Kotaku or Polygon, are in the wrong for trying to hold artists to some sort of pre-conceived notion of a politically correct viewpoint. BS like that is why we have countless releases of boring and generic music, games and such. People are afraid to create content that will get some group out there to demonize their art.

[Big Ben]

OP has a picture from Doctor Who in as his profile pic. The new show was rebooted by a gay leftist.

LMFAO OP.

I'm worried about this enough not to buy it until I hear more. So we'll see, I guess
