Is the game full of SJW bs ?

[MadFlavor_Gui]

So I am pretty interested in the game, mostly because I enjoy the shooter mechanics. With that being said I have read people saying that the game is full of sjw stuff and that is a serious turn off for me. I cannot stand it nor do I want to support it, plus it is destroying many developers and franchises that were dear to my heart. Seems like it is a primary concern of many games now a days to push a political view rather then telling a good story.

So I ask, is it full of it ?

Not really that I noticed other than the 1 little shot at Elon Musk... They've got a guy named Klegg Clayton who's the corrupt son of Mayor Clayton from Rage 1.. although they look nothing alike... as the new Clayton is a "tycoon", has 1 building with his name on it... people can see that as Trump I suppose, he certainly looks like him a bit. But he's only in the game briefly... His character looks like JK Stiles from Rage 1 (the Mutantbash TV guy).

I'm sure there will be some people that will debate it all, but this game lacks so much dialogue (which was somewhat nice compared to all the yapping in Rage 1).... I simply don't pay attention to the politics in games, they don't bother me, sometimes funny, that's about it... this game is really just a run around and shoot stuff, run somewhere else, shoot, collect PDA units (like Doom 3)... I guess if you read into anything enough you'll find politics, but I personally don't think they are a part of this game, not a big part at least.

There's nothing, just confirmation bias. Some people seem to rage every time there's strong women characters for some reason? Some people don't like the neon pink for directions? Things like this.

The Elon Musk thing has nothing to do with SJWism, it's just a funny mission with a very smart guy with a similar name, it's hardly even related to what the real Elon Musk is doing. Just a "what if Elon Musk was in the RAGE world" kind of thing.

Sweden, one of the country repeatedly voted the best place to live in the world by officials, proffesionals, tourist, and locals ?

Agree, every time theres a female character, people cry out SJW. Why ? Because they are young, they dont remember there was loads of female characters in video games since the early 80s. One can remember

The poster above me explains it well : SJW is in rage because "50% of your enemies are women. They ♥♥♥♥ standing up too."

I cant remember a single soul being angry at women in video games before, but now its rampant. Whenever you hear people crying SJW in video games, the chances of it actually being true is probably around 1%.

Honestly, to me, and thats my personal opinion of course, the SJWs, are the ones who cry about SJWs. They are the same thing, they are people who are angry because of social justices, wheter its for, or against, is the same thing, both group are extremely annoying and aggressive.

I talked to you once and it was about Sweden. (twice with this message)

The reason you think Im talking to you, is because I posted several times, but I regrouped my message in an edit, so no more confusion.

[Magnus Aurelius, Bright Lord]

Stop trying to climb the social rank on the internet dude, seriously. who are you trying to impress here ?

[Magnus Aurelius, Bright Lord]

Yes yes, you are the superior one, we get it.

If somebody is predisposed to see SJW propaganda wherever they look, then yeah they will probably see it in this game.

welcome to the rage 2 forums hahahahahahaha

I really don't care about or make it a goal to look for anything political in regards to gaming, if they are present I'll ignore them, probably fly right over my head.. I'm not trying to think too hard into what could be what, I could care less it isn't going to ruin my fun.

I wouldn't put it past some people if they had mixed feelings about games like Wolfenstein and us still enjoying killing Nazi's considering the Wars been over for 75 years lmao... If people are truly worried about this stuff in video games.. I don't know, I just feel bad for them. It's a game, play it and try to enjoy it.. that's what it was made for. Plenty of games want to throw current events in for entertainment purposes, probably just to see if people are paying attention.

We're fortunate to even get us some blood and gibs nowadays considering it's the Snowflake Generation...

Same thing here, Their video games. Reading the forums on STEAM, you would think video gaming is this very important aspect of life, where the decisions of the devs is a matter of life and death, as if wars were going to happen and they absolutely need to cry for the injustice and the abomination.

While in reality, its just a company making a game as they see fit. After all, they are the one making the game, I dont know why they wouldnt be allowed to make it how they want.

People are way over their head with video games. Id be willing to bet that playing 40-60 hours per two week plays a huge role, they devote their entire life into gaming, being outraged about everything is probably a way to cope with feeling useful in this world. Feeling like their doing something.. Just an assumption though.

Reminder that companies don't listen to you, representation will continue to win as it has been for years now. Your complaining on a Steam discussions page will be ignored and everyone will forget all of your paragraphs of crying about how "The SJWs" are ruining video games.

The problem with that is that those people are not only there to be angry at things, but also seem to be trying to elevate themselves in the social ranks. Chickens do this all the time, its called the pecking order.

Insults are often motivated by anger surrounding issues of status insecurity. Many insults are reactive: They are responses to real or imagined slights from others. We live in a period of extreme concern about how we are perceived by others. This narcissism trend is only accentuated by social media, where participants are subject to unrelenting evaluation by other network members who encourage participants to inflate their egos, often at the expense of others.

Concern with how one is perceived creates social insecurity that may be relieved by lashing out at other chickens (or people) in the area. Social networks are replete with individuals who deliver stinging rebukes because they enjoy doing so, and because they are mostly exempt from the reprisals that one might expect for real-world put-downs.

The purpose of a put down is to reduce someone else in the imaginary status hierarchy. So it is hardly surprising that insults will often refer to a person's social status in terms of ancestry, lack of prestige, or membership in a despised out group.

Insults will often refer to a person's social status in terms of ancestry, lack of prestige, or membership in a despised out group, another way of taking a person down is by questioning their intelligence or general mental competence.

The pecking-order logic of insults means that if the recipient is shamed, then the insulter rises in status relative to the victim: The insulter is the one doing the pecking rather than getting pecked.

This is the reason why, no matter what, there will be people on the internet who's only goal is to insult others. Everyone knows its useless to complaint and argue for hours with strangers on the internet, but yet they will still do it, most likely because of the reasons I mentioned in my message. If really they had such a big problem with the company, they would attack the company, rather than strangers. Its most likely all about insecurities and self esteem problems.
