Awareness and broader awareness are fine. The issue is when they put characters in a video game to push those reasons or check a list, especially if that takes away from the story or changes characters/devalues others as a result.

In the end, are we creating the next video game in a series or pushing an agenda instead? Time and place, choose your venue, etc.

So "woke" these days has pushed from the original meaning to referencing those going overboard, either (metaphorically) carrying pitchforks and torches or demanding stories be changed to put their preferred representation in regardless of other consequences.

This is why I say create a new game series that is built on all that from the start as opposed to tearing apart an existing one just to fit an agenda or quota.

The games already give players cosmetic skins. Also that isn’t what woke is smh.

Hope they don't force anybody to play gay stuff or I'm not buying it.

you people are so annoying. Why should games cater to what you want just because you are afraid of gay and poc people?

They are catering to 1% of the population and losing money because of it. Nice try though

Nothing says the vault hunters, or any other character, have to be gay or not. As long as that just a part of their character and not the defining point so doesn't come off as checking a box or pushing it.

Having gay people exist isn't catering. Can you please stop being so fragile and stop getting offended every 5 seconds so we can enjoy things again?

Bloody Hel, again for the people in the back, it´s been woke since BL2.

The series needs a change yes, by hiring good writers and having management not interfer with their writing,
not by scrubbing out what little we have left of the original stuff so people who make it their personality to be offended by the existence of others do not get triggered.

Totally agree! Keep the woke garbage out and make the game fun again like Borderlands2 was
This supposed "wokeness" that people keep talking about in BL3 (whatever the ♥♥♥♥ that word is even supposed to mean anymore...) simply is so minorly respresented that you dont even notice it. The only ones who will notice are the Bigots (yes im talking to you) looking for something to piss your pants at. And anyone who says otherwise, ♥♥♥♥ you DLC 2 was cute af, bigots.:BL3Facepalm:

DLC 2 was great. My main gripe was they didn't do right by Gaige. As for the big cinematic for the conclusion, for the action and humor of Borderlands it seemed a bit out of place. And I would say that for any romantic pairings with possibly one exception. Claptrap going in for a kiss or such and getting electrocuted seems like that would fit the gameworld overall with the humor. Point is action and/or humor to end a DLC seems right, but sweet romance as the big finale cinematic didn't flow well (at least for me) for Borderlands. But absolutely respect it and they do seem cute together, even though sometimes they are so jarringly different you wonder how they managed to hit it off when they met.

The DLCs brought the quality up and were more true to game and story quality and writing, even acknowledging DLC 2's controversial plot point. It is the main game that was the problem where it devalued staple characters who didn't fit "required representation" (for lack of a better term) in order to make the others look better instead of improving on their own merits. DLC 2 for the most part respected all groups.

I'm just a bit salty that Gaige lost quite a bit of her spark and her backstory, a big one a feel, is still left unexplored.

Its is a shame the story and characters of this game are written so that there are almost no male hetro heros.

Almost all the male hetro characters seem to be morally weak or lacking.

Why are only the female and gay-male characters have any morale fibre and goodness ?
