Care to explain how this game is "SJW" ?
I'm seing comment everywhere, saying that this game is LGBT / SJW propaganda, but where ? How ? seems like I haven't seen the same trailer as other because this does not look like forced LGBT stuff at all. And I'm one of the first guy to hate it.

can anyone care to explain with words and argument how this game is Sjw propaganda ?

Wolfenstein 2 / the expension had some cringe SJW moment, Watch dogs 2 was a cringe fest, Borderlands Presequel, but this ?

Speaking as a dude who found about this game thanks to a friend who is into furries, I can tell you they're not the ones complaining...
Looks like Diversity&Aliens and less like Xcom. Typical cringy twitter gen vibes. You can't make your own soldiers so you're stuck with this ♥♥♥♥ cast. I dont see much else sjw aside from that, so maybe there is more. But i don't care that much, i want full fledged xcom 3 not some castrated spin off for current year lemmings.

Because it's explicitly anti-xenophobia and has a large number of non-white human characters. Remember if a character's race isn't important to their character and they are non-white it's tokenism, and if it is important to their character it's stereotyping because at the end of the day most anti-SJW types are racists.

because aliens teamed up with humans probably which is ironic since there's a mod for that in Xcom 2 and you don't see any of them complaining about the mod. Or the skermishers for that matter.

Did you really just say that you're one the first guys to hate on LGBT in videogmaes? ok

Hey, now you know how everyone feels when they who see people like you whining like babies about "SJW cringe moments" in videogames!

when the Duke Nukem re-boot comes out and Duke is an extra-white male, all these non-SJW people are gonna breathe a collective sigh of relief. but seriously, there should be one game developer that releases some trash FPS or combat game that embodies the Duke Nukem paradigm, just to throw a bone to all these barking dogs.

I am all for diversity, so I think this looks great, but I certainly understand why some might complain that none of the human characters are white.

Mod =/= content made by the developers that represent their vision for the game.

That aside, I haven't seen any 'SJW' complaints specifically but I would imagine if any were coming up it would likely be focused on the sudden direction of a 'diverse' cast of aliens and humans (notably humans of a variety of mostly non-white races) working together to combat the bad guys.

It honestly could just be a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to how other games have gone down the route of token inclusion for the sake of optics (looking at you, Battletech) in a situation where it simply was not needed given that Xcom is already a series about a multi-national group made up of men and women of various ethnic and cultural backgrounds coming together for the good of mankind.

Also, the Skirmishers were....honestly kind of meh in my opinion.

Please stop trying to find things who don't exist

Something about the way things look just seems off or just looks bad but if it's as mod friendly as X-com 2 this can fixed almost instantly.:andm:
This is the only place I've seen this argument. If you're seeing it "everywhere" perhaps you're just looking in weird places.

Duke's reboot by Randy Cringeford and his pet circus at Gearbox? That's a good one.

There rest of your post is just "ok boomer" tier trash and laughable at best.

This should really be the end of the thread.

It has been confirmed that the viper is gay, she is not trans though.
