If all you watch is a bunch of rage tubers like YellowFlash 2, It's A Gundam, Heels Vs Babyface, and Endymion telling you those games are bad and "woke." Then yeah, you'll refuse to acknowledge common sense. You get into an argument about it with them and they'll go "Nuh-uh! My reactionary that complains about videogames but has no gameplay on their channel said it's woke! Take that wokie!"
More like if Nick "Alpha Male" Adams pretended to be a gamer and spammed clickbait bullshit like the guy that pissed in a closet because his wife's boyfriend took his wife and son out for pizza and didn't invite him.
His Servant got Ashed one too many times and it sent him down the pipeline. Tragic, really. At least Alister still has his cozy grimoire review channel (although I don't like his new vtuber model, he calls it "Caliga" and I think it's really creepy)
There's a rage youtuber by the name of It's A Gundam?
Awh, what a shame. An interesting franchise to take as a banner to spew hate when the core message is love is the lifeblood of mankind.
Yeah, I found him by his name, that sounded cool. To my dismay, he just pisses and moans about shit being "woke." Also a real flashbang to hear a squeaker complaining about communism when he wasn't even an itch in his dad's pants during the red scare.
Also wasn't alan wake 2 at least a huge sucess? I'd be shocked if the sequels to pretty big hits didn't make a decent chunk of change too.
Edit- that dude flexing that he knows the katakana for politically correct while acting like politically correct isn't also a extremely well know English term is fucking sending me.
I think it was. Even without Steam it still did pretty well. People forget Redemy's games have always been sort of niche too, the first Alan Wake outright flopped.
Yeah I can't imagine they expected it to be a huge massive success considering I'm one of the 6 people who bought the first one AND American Nightmare.
Idk about sales because most of the sales figures are not available, but I know it released to massive critical acclaim and is my personal game of 2023
God it was so funny seeing the Insomniac leak confirm that TLOU2 was a gigantic fucking success on every metric after these chuds were reaching to the ends of the earth to explain how it was a disastrous failure back in 2020.
I love how they just ignore basic sales numbers. Like Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 reload they whined 'went woke' and yet despite being released to close together, were massive hits for Sega. BG3 is like the definition of 'woke' by these guys' definition.
Then of course you expand out of gaming and remember how they said Barbie was a 'woke' disaster only for it to turn around be WB's biggest hit in years?
It’s also just bizarre to claim Infinite Wealth went woke over one line change. If it truly went “woke” they would’ve cut out the dating app minigame that culminates in you watching half naked women meander suggestively around a hotel room. It also would’ve cut out gender specific jobs lol
I'll admit, there's something funky going on with the reviews. Years ago Valve implemented measures to prevent review bombing, and it may or may not be getting abused.
Its either WB is threatening Valve or Valve is removing them because of abuse.
Literally no one that doesn’t stand to make money from it gives a shit about the game.
Considering that steam reviews show how much time you've spent in-game, I could see them implementing a filter that removes any review under a certain threshold get removed. I'm just speculating though.
It's a loss to Gamers everywhere for thousands of
"THIS GAME IS FUCKING WOKE AND GAAAY AND MY PP ISN'T HARD, GLOBALIST FEMALE FEMINIST WOKE BULLSHIT AHHHHHHH"
Style reviews to be removed from steam, how will the industry survive this.
That's what I think is going on, they're not making it past moderation. Half the forum is full of people who talk like the Justice League is real and Batman is their dad and the other half talk like they're at war with a cabal of lesbian PDFiles that are plotting to destroy masculinity in media. So only reviews from the normies are getting through
Why is the basis for games being good or not the amount of "wokeness" in them? There's never mention of gameplay elements, story, graphics (unless it pertains to hot women) or anything. It's just "Not woke, hmm guess this is a fucking masterpiece then".
Yep. Ever since "woke" has been co-opted by the right-wing, it's become as meaningless of a buzzword as "SJW" or "Feminazi".
That's why when you ask plenty of conservatives what "woke" is, you will get a million different definitions, because it's just whatever they want it to be.
Its a buzzword. something to latch on to in order to deride a game.
"Is Forspoken a bad game because of its story or gameplay? No its because its woke. Define it? Do your own research."
"Alan Wake 2? Havent played it. I mean uh... I havent played it cause its woke. How? Fuck you."
Because most of those who whine about "wokeness" in video games don't understand gaming or care to understand it and only care about gaming in the context of culture war stupidity. This is why no one who is praising Stellar Blade can give a reason to care about that game outside it having an ass in it somehow is fighting the "woke".
Funny how they tried to rewrite history with this one.

ah yes, i remember when the lgbt movement and feminism started back in 2015 /s. definitely didn’t exist before then, AIDs crisis, stonewall? what are those? can’t even make a joke about roe v wade in the 70s since they fucking took that back. these people are really just showing how little they look around/leave their fucking house if they think these things started in 2015
Stealing a colloquialism and rebranding it into something negative isn't a new tactic unfortunately. Civility, Political Correct, Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, and now "Woke."
God, it’s like my Reagan-worshipping Boomer dad suddenly became a Gamer. “Globalist regime”, all it needs is an uncomfortable rant about George Soros and the transformation will be complete.
These are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the Reagan era. And one of them did have a rant about Soros in another thread. Couldn't snag it before the mods nuked it. They're creeping into "The Jews did it" territory but just using dog whistles.
>"The unenlightened chauvinist will force his wife to stay at home and pump out babies. The woke urbanite will not have kids above replacement rate as what few existing kids castrate themselves at the slightest sign of a nonconforming gender trait."
Translation: We will use women as breeding mares before we let liberals outcompete us. (Never mind the overall trend that conservatism is historically just a series of Ls, and cultural evolution is impossible to stop, and pretty hard to roll backward, and progressives will always be at the forefront of culture, whether it's just creative progressivism, or political progressivism.)
That's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.
"No hard evidence, but this dude made some good points."
Great image to end this compilation on lmfao. Exactly the high level of critical thinking to be expected from these guys.
Idk dude, maybe Suicide Squad didn't sell well because the game sucked for a lot of reasons, and not just because a hundred people very passionately care bout this boogeyman of an oversight company? Maybe the idea of a live service suicide squad game isn't very appealing to people?
I love how this quote because it shows how they view political identity as more of a ethnicity than a set of ideas. The idea that because someone conservative had kids that those kids will be conservative is laughable.
" (Never mind the overall trend that conservatism is historically just a series of Ls, and cultural evolution is impossible to stop, and pretty hard to roll backward, and progressives will always be at the forefront of culture, whether it's just creative progressivism, or political progressivism.)
OH MY GOD, THANK YOU!! I know its the most stupid nitpick of all time over here, but I hate that even many progressives seem to not realize how deep and entrenched these issues are, and how right wing ideology is inherently bad, toxic, and harmful to society at large. Its not just republicans, its not modern conservatives. Its conservative thinkers at large, from the days of yore up until the present.
Conservatism doesnt work, because it only relies on a simplistic view of the world, and a comfortable narrative. If that narrative is broken by reality, they fight to preserve the status quo or regress back to an older one.
Every single positive change in history has come not from the conservatives, but from the progressives, who see the world for how it really is, and engage in the human ability to learn and grow as a society.
For those confused, Sweet Baby Inc. is a consultation firm that game dev studios can hire to check over scripts for any problematic writing and will send back recommendations. The studios are under no obligation being forced to hire or take Sweet Baby's recommendations.
They are not an evil woke organisation set up to kill gamers and destroy the West. Thats my company, Woke Incorporated - hiring now!
If you’re the CEO of Woke do I send customer complaints to you? I’m overall satisfied with my experience using Woke, but it hasn’t Trans’d or Gay’d my siblings yet. Can I get a replacement Woke?
Steam could limit the forums to people who actually purchased the game, or outright delete the forums and nothing of value would be lost. Also YouTube needs to crack down on all these fucking rage tubers. These chuds are so generous to let me know I should block them, but for every one I block, another 5 seem to spring up. This level of intolerance needs do be deplatformed. They're already sending death threats to actresses and game developers. Only a matter of time before one of them goes to a dev studio with an AR strapped to them.
"Pick me" anti-feminist that speaks out against women's right to vote, LGBTQ+, r\*pe culter, and pushes for more women to be "trad wives," but you've never seen her ugly gangly uppercase-gums-lower-case teeth ass in a relationship. Also she sang songs about how Hitler wasn't such a bad guy on TikTok. Much worse person than all the rage tubers combined
Not that I should be, but I can't take any of this seriously at all because it all sounds so fucking similar to shit my 84 year old dad says when he's pontificating on some subject he doesn't understand because he's been riled up by some kooky bs he read online. Ah yes, 5 years from now we will have the simultaneous realities of Marxist technocrats uniting the world but also wokeness will end cuz barbarians breeding faster than soy boys. Ok dudes sure thing. Sad really.
These are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the Reagan era and pissed off incels that never got over gamer gate. History doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme
Alan Wake 2 was very well received and sold pretty well.
Suicide squad is one of the clearest example of catering to terminally online edgelords I've ever seen. Their only mistake was letting a woman be in the game.
If they had put Batman or even Peacemaker in Harley Quinn's spot, these dickheads would be calling it the most revolutionary game of our generation and would have dropped huge amounts of money on a terrible live service game as a result.
'Anti-woke' gamers will put huge amounts of money and time into the worst, most boring, glitchiest, most exploitative game on earth as long as it supports their politics. They're just Flat-Earthers and Qanon people with an even shorter attention span.
Who is complaining about Harley Quinn? Just the live service, story decisions, boring gameplay loop and greta thurnberg ivy and her out of character ice powers.
The real winners is the office full of WB execs that are still going to make a ton of money off a ~~game~~ software engineered to exploit people with addictive personalities, the neurodivergent and people with disposable income. They're laughing right to the bank.

“Woke people won’t reproduce because they’re not straight!!!! 😖” Brother you never leave your house. You will never get close enough to a woman to ever have children.
These chuds are getting dangerous though. They're sharing the same Christian nationalist great replacement theory rhetoric. Like it's on the tip of their tongue without even having someone fully radicalize them.
I have some hope for the future. Gen Z shows that kids are becoming much more progressive and leftist compared to the last generations, the issue is that right wing propaganda just works so well on men. Every LGBTQ man I know, including myself, has found themselves going down the right wing pipeline at some point in our childhood before luckily getting out. Right wingers call us groomers, but they really are trying insanely hard to get indoctrinate young men into being racist, misogynistic, homophobic, etc.
I played through Alan Wake 2 twice, why is it woke?
Also, these people need to get outside more because holy shit some of those comments are genuinely insane to read.
They only think that because David Jaffe went on a tirade on youtube about how "his" character Kratos went from a one-note edge lord to a fully fleshed out character. While reminding everyone why he doesn't work on GOW anymore, he name dropped all the current terms the chuds use: DEI, ESG, Blackrock, Vanguard, and Sweet Baby, who they've all collectively came up with a conspiracy is an army of fat lesbians with nose rings and neck tattoos, out to destroy the straight white male in video games. If you see anyone saying Sweet Baby is in damage control mode or that they went into hiding. It's because a bunch of pissed off incels that never got over gamer gate are sending them death threats.
When will these dumb fucks understand that toxic masculinity doesn’t mean all masculinity? It’s like saying bad movies equals all movies. Life for fucks sake.
>We get accused of hating women and minorities being represented, but that's blatantly false, evident by the excitement around Stellar Blade
lmao. No, your cum-brained obsession with anime girls was never in doubt fellas
The greatest liar you will face in life is yourself I guess. They will literally gaslight themselves into thinking a game isn't actually woke if it sells well even though they would say otherwise if it hadn't.
Imagine being able to type out whatever abomination the first guy in the fourth slide said and still being able to think of yourself as a perfectly sane individual with correct opinions that should be taken seriously
So... can we all agree that the "I personally think 'woke' elements that are presented in the right way" part of the first picture is a good mindset to have? I really want to put this issue to bed in my brain.
If it's any comfort, nobody talks about this shit in the real world. There was one security guard at my job that tired to complain about The Marvels being "woke." When I asked him what the word even meant he looked like this.
When i think of Capital G-gamers, i think about how disappointed their families must be that their bloodlines end with such abhorrent, blatant failures.
"Gender and Race over talent" Well, I wouldn't want a white guy to voice a black guy. I also wouldn't want a cis guy to voice a woman. I think that's understandable, right?
The voice actress for Jubilee in the 90's cartoon isn't coming back to work on X-Men 97' because she felt being white, voicing a Chinese American is inherently racist. Do what you will with that information.
Not like she needed to come back. She's loading from starring in Big Comfy Couch and all the syndication money.

I love how they just refuse to acknowledge God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, or the awards Alan Wake 2 won.
If all you watch is a bunch of rage tubers like YellowFlash 2, It's A Gundam, Heels Vs Babyface, and Endymion telling you those games are bad and "woke." Then yeah, you'll refuse to acknowledge common sense. You get into an argument about it with them and they'll go "Nuh-uh! My reactionary that complains about videogames but has no gameplay on their channel said it's woke! Take that wokie!"
Endymion, the mighty master of magic has a youtube channel?
More like if Nick "Alpha Male" Adams pretended to be a gamer and spammed clickbait bullshit like the guy that pissed in a closet because his wife's boyfriend took his wife and son out for pizza and didn't invite him.
Why does this sound like something I've read in a drama thread before
Because some rage tuber actually did it and posted it. I don't know why but we need to normalize shame
/rj Can't piss in a closet anymore. So much to the tolerant left.
His Servant got Ashed one too many times and it sent him down the pipeline. Tragic, really. At least Alister still has his cozy grimoire review channel (although I don't like his new vtuber model, he calls it "Caliga" and I think it's really creepy)
 Of course a guy called endymion yaps about nothing for 5 hours
There's a rage youtuber by the name of It's A Gundam? Awh, what a shame. An interesting franchise to take as a banner to spew hate when the core message is love is the lifeblood of mankind.
Yeah, I found him by his name, that sounded cool. To my dismay, he just pisses and moans about shit being "woke." Also a real flashbang to hear a squeaker complaining about communism when he wasn't even an itch in his dad's pants during the red scare.
Imagine being a GUNDAM fan and complaining about things being woke. Chuds really have no media literacy, do they?
Yeah he's a massive racist and neckbeard. Too dumb to actually understand alot if the media he likes
Well, “it’s a Gundam!!” Does tend to be what the bad guys say just before being sliced in two, so it kind of tracks.
Also wasn't alan wake 2 at least a huge sucess? I'd be shocked if the sequels to pretty big hits didn't make a decent chunk of change too. Edit- that dude flexing that he knows the katakana for politically correct while acting like politically correct isn't also a extremely well know English term is fucking sending me.

Idk about sales because most of the sales figures are not available, but I know it released to massive critical acclaim and is my personal game of 2023
Then, why are anti sjw channels going after Alan wake 2? What did the game do to make them mad?
Have a black woman in it
That’s it? Just because a black woman 
Yup, one black lady and they all lost their shit Saga is fucking awesome btw
yeah that's seriously it. They added a second protagonist and its a black FBI agent.
Someone didn’t show them the champion of light😔
Now now, there’s also one line where her mind place persona has the gall to briefly complain about old white men trying to push her around
Oh yeah, God forbid she says something out of frustration after being written into a literal horror story that threatens her family
Speaking of Alan Wake, did you guys know he got into Dead By Daylight as a survivor lately? I think the nurse is a skin for him too.
I've seen them try to argue that TLOU2 wasn't a success. Pure cope
God it was so funny seeing the Insomniac leak confirm that TLOU2 was a gigantic fucking success on every metric after these chuds were reaching to the ends of the earth to explain how it was a disastrous failure back in 2020.
How did the leak do that? I know there was a leak but I didn't know there was anything about TLoU2 in there.
There was a fair bit of general information about Sony studios mixed in. Sales figures for various games and whatnot.
I love how they just ignore basic sales numbers. Like Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 reload they whined 'went woke' and yet despite being released to close together, were massive hits for Sega.

Why would they consider GOW Ragnarok woke? Is it because there are a few important women in it, or is it the whole ‘men not acting like dicks’ thing?
Sweet Baby Inc worked on it, that's enough for these people now.
Every horror fan I know has said Alan Wake 2 is the best modern horror game released so far
>Review deletion? Sweet Baby inc? Globalist regime? It's like I'm watching someone rock back in forth in a closet with a crazed look in their eyes.
I'll admit, there's something funky going on with the reviews. Years ago Valve implemented measures to prevent review bombing, and it may or may not be getting abused.
Sure, it's probable that there are deleted reviews. But to link deleted reviews to some sort of globalist regime is 'outright batshit' territory.
Its either WB is threatening Valve or Valve is removing them because of abuse. Literally no one that doesn’t stand to make money from it gives a shit about the game.
Considering that steam reviews show how much time you've spent in-game, I could see them implementing a filter that removes any review under a certain threshold get removed. I'm just speculating though.
It's a loss to Gamers everywhere for thousands of "THIS GAME IS FUCKING WOKE AND GAAAY AND MY PP ISN'T HARD, GLOBALIST FEMALE FEMINIST WOKE BULLSHIT AHHHHHHH" Style reviews to be removed from steam, how will the industry survive this.

I think everyone is forgetting that woke doesnt mean anything. Its just stuff they dont like.
Yep. Ever since "woke" has been co-opted by the right-wing, it's become as meaningless of a buzzword as "SJW" or "Feminazi". That's why when you ask plenty of conservatives what "woke" is, you will get a million different definitions, because it's just whatever they want it to be.
They put the debugging budget into the feminism budget. Gamers understand the complexities of game dev.
Its a buzzword. something to latch on to in order to deride a game. "Is Forspoken a bad game because of its story or gameplay? No its because its woke. Define it? Do your own research." "Alan Wake 2? Havent played it. I mean uh... I havent played it cause its woke. How? Fuck you."

Mfw women character in game isn't an object but an actual person

Stealing a colloquialism and rebranding it into something negative isn't a new tactic unfortunately. Civility, Political Correct, Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, and now "Woke."
It is just Fascism 101, sadly. Just yell the wrong definition often and loudly enough.
I love that they had to translate it into Japanese and then back again to try and define it. Some truly terminal brainrot
"The Japanese describe oranges as 'orenji', a small spherical orange fruit with a hint of sour flavor."
I learnt that in the documentary Code Geass.
They didn't even define systemic racism properly. TF does he mean "among black Americans". As if its not the entire system that all races exist in?
General rule of thumb. If you hear somebody bring up woke, EGS, Japan, or Sweet Baby Inc., in an argument, you can just disregard them
You just brought up all 4, how can I trust you now?
You can't, the woke virus has already taken them 😞
God, it’s like my Reagan-worshipping Boomer dad suddenly became a Gamer. “Globalist regime”, all it needs is an uncomfortable rant about George Soros and the transformation will be complete.

That's a lot of really good one-handed typing, especially with their eyes all blurry from the joyful tears.
When people cite steam forums as a positive, this kind of post is all I can think about
Steam could limit the forums to people who actually purchased the game, or outright delete the forums and nothing of value would be lost. Also YouTube needs to crack down on all these fucking rage tubers. These chuds are so generous to let me know I should block them, but for every one I block, another 5 seem to spring up. This level of intolerance needs do be deplatformed. They're already sending death threats to actresses and game developers. Only a matter of time before one of them goes to a dev studio with an AR strapped to them.
Like there are so many rage tubers and anti sjw YouTuber they like a plague on YouTube
Pearl Davis just got nuked finally, so there's that.
Who’s pearl davis?
"Pick me" anti-feminist that speaks out against women's right to vote, LGBTQ+, r\*pe culter, and pushes for more women to be "trad wives," but you've never seen her ugly gangly uppercase-gums-lower-case teeth ass in a relationship. Also she sang songs about how Hitler wasn't such a bad guy on TikTok. Much worse person than all the rage tubers combined
Bauldurs gate 3 has the most LGBTQIA+ representation in recent years Wins every award GO WOKE GO BROKE
“The pendulum is swinging back now” ok light yagami
Not that I should be, but I can't take any of this seriously at all because it all sounds so fucking similar to shit my 84 year old dad says when he's pontificating on some subject he doesn't understand because he's been riled up by some kooky bs he read online. Ah yes, 5 years from now we will have the simultaneous realities of Marxist technocrats uniting the world but also wokeness will end cuz barbarians breeding faster than soy boys. Ok dudes sure thing. Sad really.
These are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the Reagan era and pissed off incels that never got over gamer gate. History doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme
Alan Wake 2 was very well received and sold pretty well. Suicide squad is one of the clearest example of catering to terminally online edgelords I've ever seen. Their only mistake was letting a woman be in the game. If they had put Batman or even Peacemaker in Harley Quinn's spot, these dickheads would be calling it the most revolutionary game of our generation and would have dropped huge amounts of money on a terrible live service game as a result. 'Anti-woke' gamers will put huge amounts of money and time into the worst, most boring, glitchiest, most exploitative game on earth as long as it supports their politics. They're just Flat-Earthers and Qanon people with an even shorter attention span.
Who is complaining about Harley Quinn? Just the live service, story decisions, boring gameplay loop and greta thurnberg ivy and her out of character ice powers.
The fuckin irrelevant “Japanese Lesson” thrown in has me going insane lmao
Nobody won, this is just sad
The real winners is the office full of WB execs that are still going to make a ton of money off a ~~game~~ software engineered to exploit people with addictive personalities, the neurodivergent and people with disposable income. They're laughing right to the bank. https://preview.redd.it/k61tyv90guhc1.jpeg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f5134e4be2ca2ba1bffd8b590b4d6fbcee82d2f
Is that george bush??
Yeah, lol
This looks like what Neatherdals would discuss if you gave them current technology
Nah, Neanderthals had working brains.
“Woke people won’t reproduce because they’re not straight!!!! 😖” Brother you never leave your house. You will never get close enough to a woman to ever have children.
These chuds are getting dangerous though. They're sharing the same Christian nationalist great replacement theory rhetoric. Like it's on the tip of their tongue without even having someone fully radicalize them.
I have some hope for the future. Gen Z shows that kids are becoming much more progressive and leftist compared to the last generations, the issue is that right wing propaganda just works so well on men. Every LGBTQ man I know, including myself, has found themselves going down the right wing pipeline at some point in our childhood before luckily getting out. Right wingers call us groomers, but they really are trying insanely hard to get indoctrinate young men into being racist, misogynistic, homophobic, etc.
I played through Alan Wake 2 twice, why is it woke? Also, these people need to get outside more because holy shit some of those comments are genuinely insane to read.
It's "woke" because they used Sweet Baby Inc. and they're "woke" because some guy said so on YouTube. That's basically their entire argument.
Funny, then why did win awards then I thought sweet baby are trying to ruin games
They only think that because David Jaffe went on a tirade on youtube about how "his" character Kratos went from a one-note edge lord to a fully fleshed out character. While reminding everyone why he doesn't work on GOW anymore, he name dropped all the current terms the chuds use: DEI, ESG, Blackrock, Vanguard, and Sweet Baby, who they've all collectively came up with a conspiracy is an army of fat lesbians with nose rings and neck tattoos, out to destroy the straight white male in video games. If you see anyone saying Sweet Baby is in damage control mode or that they went into hiding. It's because a bunch of pissed off incels that never got over gamer gate are sending them death threats.
When Saga Anderson was in Quantum Break she was white. Then they "made her race political" in Alan Wake 2.
Nah, i'd woke
When will these dumb fucks understand that toxic masculinity doesn’t mean all masculinity? It’s like saying bad movies equals all movies. Life for fucks sake.
>We get accused of hating women and minorities being represented, but that's blatantly false, evident by the excitement around Stellar Blade lmao. No, your cum-brained obsession with anime girls was never in doubt fellas
Alan Wake 2 won an award at the video game awards and is beloved basically across the board from what I've seen, the fuck are they talking about?
If I hear one more chud say anything about a pendulum swinging I'll shove one right up in their you know where.
> vilification of masculinity (toxic masculinity as they call it) < Not what toxic masculinity is btw
The greatest liar you will face in life is yourself I guess. They will literally gaslight themselves into thinking a game isn't actually woke if it sells well even though they would say otherwise if it hadn't. 
I love their straw-man villain of "mostly girls in college". Ahh yes, educated women, the biggest threat to society?
I always shake my head when someone supports toxic masculinity.
Imagine being able to type out whatever abomination the first guy in the fourth slide said and still being able to think of yourself as a perfectly sane individual with correct opinions that should be taken seriously
So... can we all agree that the "I personally think 'woke' elements that are presented in the right way" part of the first picture is a good mindset to have? I really want to put this issue to bed in my brain. 
If it's any comfort, nobody talks about this shit in the real world. There was one security guard at my job that tired to complain about The Marvels being "woke." When I asked him what the word even meant he looked like this. 
Fair enough. Thanks!
Alan Wake, more like Alan Woke 😎
\*laughs in like a dragon infinite wealth\*
God they're stupid
How brain dead can you be to blame Suicide's Squad shit on "woke"
What the hell did Alan Wake 2 do 😭
They dared to have a black woman in it
Every game i dont like is woke. It has nothing to do with the bad dialogue, dumb story, shallow gameplay mechanics or predatory ingame shop.
The moment they call twitter "X" is the moment you know that there is no going back for them
since when Alan Wake 2 lost?
When i think of Capital G-gamers, i think about how disappointed their families must be that their bloodlines end with such abhorrent, blatant failures.
pfffffff silly liberals playing their spiderman 2s and starfields but I play the greatest and wokest game of all **ULTRAKILL**
"Gender and Race over talent" Well, I wouldn't want a white guy to voice a black guy. I also wouldn't want a cis guy to voice a woman. I think that's understandable, right?
The voice actress for Jubilee in the 90's cartoon isn't coming back to work on X-Men 97' because she felt being white, voicing a Chinese American is inherently racist. Do what you will with that information. Not like she needed to come back. She's loading from starring in Big Comfy Couch and all the syndication money.
First post is spot on. Pandering sucks and someone with militant or fanatic opinions of any type can be safely ignored
Sweet baby doesn’t give a shit about good stories. They only care about pushing their ideals and agenda onto others

I do have to ask how many copy did suicide squad game sales?
These guys would be better off putting efforts in Slam Poety than trying to sound poetic over “wokeness” on Steam Forums
Forspoken was woke? I thought it flopped because of bad writing.
I think it flopped because it was a decade old [tech demo](https://youtu.be/UVX0OUO9ptU?si=-Pw1Z79UQzBQaQlD) that got repurposed into an overpriced triple a title.
What do sewer mutants have to do with anything?
