Hollow Knight
Judging by the list, shouldn't it be in "Not Recommended"? It seems like it has overt messaging.

Could you be more specific?

Do you mean in reference to what's currently mentioned in the review or are there more overt things the review does not cover?

It's woke because the character is genderless. They're also gay relationships in the game, portrayed positively.

Yeah the presence of non-binary characters and a gay couple and two overt lesbians is super overt. You also can't forget the Pale King having a wife who is much larger than himself and the obvious abortion allegory with the vessels and the abyss. Hopes this helps

thats for storytelling purposes. it makes the game more immersive by allowing the player to fully immerse themself into the character. same thing with the courier from fallout new vegas

It's very clearly to push an agenda idk what you're talking about. The game literally has a parent who forces his children into becoming non-binary

Mods should put a pause on people joining the group since it seems a handful of bored trolls made their way here from the cesspool that is reddit in a pathetic attempt to appear clever and funny.
They all have the same comments (like all NPCs do) and are not hard to spot.

i feel like you're just making it about something that it just very clearly isnt about. game devs have done this kind of thing for forever.
also which character are you talking about because i haven't played the game in a while?

I may sound like a psycho but that's literally what they want you to think. They make it subtle so you don't get suspicious of it. It's literally everywhere just like how modern day disney is making subtle pro ai propaganda

Yeah! Non-binary people "exist"! Just like the Tooth Fairy "exists 🤣🤣!!! Or the Universal Public Friend "Exists" 🤣🤣'🤗🤗!!!

If you're just gonna troll can you leave this group please

I would recommend not trying to debate with bad faith actors and instead remaining on topic.

Even this is woke. The idea that a character has to be genderless to empathize with them.

suspicious about what? idk if im the only one or something but even if that was the intention whats so bad about that? Non-binary people existing is kinda just a fact of life and shouldn't we treat them with the same amount of respect we would treat any other human being?
the ai thing i agree though that's just capitalism doing it's thing. if they get people used to ai then they won't complain when all the animators get replaced and they can cut down on spending
Least obvious reddit troll

Portraying characters of degenerate relationships in a positive view is very, very woke. Storytelling purposes or not, the message they are pushing is that you should empathize with them or consider them normal and unavoidable part of your community.

They are mentally ill and a threat to social cohesion; a product and mechanism of cultural subversion by enemies of reason. They are not acceptable background noise in any context.
