⚡Can we all just come together and stop using the word "woke"?
Respect and Based Common Decency

The word is diluted and has lost all its original meaning.

Every new online smooth brain (both zoomers and boomers) use the word now for just about anything!

It was fun 10 years ago, but now you are conveying nothing at all when using it.
If you find yourself using the word "woke" on a daily basis - you might just as well say:
"I don't wanna explain my thoughts and I don't wanna think"

It is also becoming a boomer mind virus these days. So tired of hearing old people using the word in every God d*mn conversation.

Sincerely,

-Apex GenXer -

I can get on board with that... like you can't have a female "batman"... it's just batwoman... stop trying to ripoff batman and do ur own thing.
It's even sillier when it comes to superheroes. I think creating unique characters is better than just making a copycat or just switching the gender, but, I don't know for superheroes so much. I've never been big fan of them. But if the essence of Batman is basically a rich guy with a creature of the night theme going on, I'm sure they can apply the theme to a female character while still keeping her more original, maybe something like a Sliverfish Girl.
well they had wonder woman, but she just kinda like flies around in an invisible plane because I guess they didn't have the budget for a plane set :S

That's hilarious, but, still, it's unique.

What are you even talking about
So, the character in question here was previously featured in one of Remedy's other games, Quantum Break, but in that game she was an older white woman. So, I believe the outrage people have with this is not that she's black, but rather that they changed her at all, and for such a trivial reason as to appease the consulting agency that Remedy worked with on the game.
Sounds like something y'all made up in your heads. This is the first time the character has appeared in a Remedy game.

I have to be honest, the racism that is supposed to be between the lines is leaking out in this thread full force.

Well you're certainly entitled to your opinion, and I won't try to take that away from you. I'd encourage you to look it up before just casting judgment, but, ultimately, you do what makes you happy, that's more important than any argument over a video game.

Oh you 100% can have a female Batman. Her name is Maiev Shadowsong and her voice actress does an amazing job channeling that classic Batman energy. She even has a "SWEAR TO ME" voiceline among other references to the OG male Batman.

Yes, i mean i didn't know the reasoning until now
The thing is realising a reasoning isn't even needed. Because the games are just the means to an end.

The games are just the bait used by the ragebait industry to get you watch their videos and generate ad revenue.

Of course, the moment a new game is making the rounds and being trending topic on searches and news you're going to get a lot of videos titled "[Insert game name here] IS NOW WOKE!!", thumbnailed by the face of an angry grown ass man and a lot of arrows pointing at stuff.

WHY that new piece of whatever has become woke is largely irrelevant. All that matters is getting you glued to the screen watching a grown adult having a totally not staged meltdown on your screen (Because streams and videos are totally a slice of life, not a manufactured product to be sold on a platform)

And then some people get genuinely pissed at whatever rant that was, just like some people hate at an actor for playing a villain in a movie. Then go on forums to ramble about it, mixed with the bunch that do the same just for the pleasure of rustling some forum jimmies and the ones who use it as a excuse to spread bigotry.

IMO having a full grown man having a screaming mental breakdown on screen to a single form of a game character creation screen was the epythome of the stage-i-fication of rage in social networks for the sake of interactions. A full on man behaving on screen like the little german raging kid meme.

The real definition of what "Woke" means.

Based on the actions of people who self identify as woke, and based on the criticisms levied against wokeness, this what I believe people mean when they say 'woke'.

- Adjective. Ironic pejorative. (as in, look at how aware and cognizant of there own actions this person isn't)
- Being brainwashed. Not thinking for yourself. Similar to an NPC.
- Believing anything the mainstream media says no matter how contradictory it is to anything else the mainstream media would have you believe.
- Woke content tends to align with "Progressive" political policy. The content itself does not actually matter. What does is strict adherence to a narrative. If that narrative changes then previously "woke" content will suddenly be deemed as "deeply offensive".

It is both an admission that someone is going along with what they have been told to think, and an admonishment that someone is going along with what they have been told to think.

it's going to be fun when a year from now results nothing has changed and people keep complaining about woke-this and woke that... because all those headlines amount only to cutting ties with a contractor because the policies and workflows have now been absorbed into these companies policy.
Duck Twacy 26/jul./2024 às 3:22 
"Woke" in this context is slang for waken up to social rifts like racism and sexism. It's kind of a lazy term ... even sloppy when you want to describe someone who is socially aware.

There's no need for it, because presumably if you're a normal human being you're not really prejudice, or if you are, then you keep it to yourself and don't become a nuisance.

"Woke" in this context is just more creating slang to sell an idea. If you don't like it, then don't use it.

LMAO, what a woke answer. That is not the definition. The real definition is,

Sure, as soon as (most) every movie, game, show and comic stop being woke. Then I won't use the word as often. :rbiggrin: It'll only be in reference to the past.

That's what I've been asking of Hollywood. I'm sick of being shamed based on my physical characteristics.

It hasn't. You're just baiting. C'mon now.

Well, that's because everything is.

Comics used to be fun. Sexy girls. Big strong men saving the world. Beating up the bad guy. Now it's twinks teaming with strong women to take down (perceived) societal injustices.

The same could be said of action movies. The 1980's movies were cool. The lead is male. He defeats the enemy. Saves the world. Gets the girl. And lots of explosions.

Today it's a diverse group of women taking down the (perceived) patriarchy. 90+ minutes of shaming and insulting men. That's not art. It's propaganda.
