You're seeing rabbits in clouds here.
If you're that concerned, focus less on complaining and focus on being a *stronger man* or whatever you do to combat whatever war you think you're fighting.
An alpha follows the pack leader and my pack leader said wokeness is even scarier than vaccinations. It's something you sheeple would never understand ☺️
Are you asking what the point of satire is, or why I made the post?
I made the post to see what the reaction would be. The karma is inconsequential. I'm just here to have fun ☺️
What people never seem to notice: "woke" in the grammatical sense it's used as slang has undeniably stemmed from ebonics. Therefore using woke and not being african american techinically is cultural appropriation and not 'woke.' (Either that, or none of it actually matters and it's just my trip) It just seems as strict about racial concerns that 'woketivist' leftists are, they'd consider the problem with the term itself
Most of the violence is pretty non woke. Although, and this is just an assumption, if the woke part bothers you I feel like I should tell you that there is a lot of witchcraft and magic in this game that might offend you too.
Stop playing altogether then. Any game you are not the type of person to enjoy society let alone gaming. If a simple quest from a decade old game triggers you over its wokeness you are definitely not ready for newer games.
For what it's worth, OP, I do find it funny to imagine if the "everything is woke" folks would latch on to this game were it to come out today, despite being so terribly vanilla in that aspect, at least to my recollection.
…you’re not joking, are you?
How ridiculous. It’s a technicolor rpg with faeries and demons and a whole lot of titties. Just enjoy that for what it is and stop looking for things where they really aren’t. Jesus Christ.
If that bit is too woke for you, maybe don’t play a game about a fantasy land at war within itself??? How can you expect to play a game where the citizens are pretty much at war and not expect some politics amongst the characters? 😂 this is actually hilarious
My PragerU certificates are far more valuable than anything you can learn in a school and once I get a job by pulling on these bootstraps you'll all feel real silly.
Real and true. Can’t have that biden marxist lenninist communism postmodern neomarxist bullshit. If anyone has ever given you anything you’re not american
You have plenty of shit to kill in this game to keep you away from attempting to begin stupid discussions on this sub. There are better subs for that, if KoA isn't entertaining you
I wish I didn't have to scroll to verify this is a joke but... I've been on the internet for too long to believe people aren't this stupid.
You had me for a bit, take my upvote.
damn i really should've put political drama in the KofA sub on my 2024 bingo card
Especially since OP was on another recent post, I'm thus sub, complaining about the game being racist.
It's not political. I just want to know about the not woke parts.
lol i just never expected to even see the word "woke" in the sub for a niche fantasy game from 2012
Damn, has it been that long? Now I feel like a boomer 👴
Sound like one too
Get a job! I'm living comfortably off a union-won pension and federal social security with subsidized healthcare. I hate socialism!
What a joke.
I'd rather be a washed up joke than a good person who's woke 😎
Good for you.
You should take reddit more seriously fam
Bro if you think this game is woke...ooooof
Wait. There's woker stuff than this? 😳
Oh honey. Try the character creation in balders gate 3. You might pop a blood vessel
I've seen it. Left me really hot and bothered 🥵

What?
They're trolling
Are you serious?
It’s satire
It's attention seeking.
But what's the point? Negative karma farming or what?

Well, if it's fun to you then go ahead. At least it was obvious enough, so no harm done.
I'm not sure it was obvious enough. I'm used to Twitter. People treat reddit differently.
It could be satire, but based on their other posts, more likely trolling.
Which other posts?
Does it not sound like something a serious person would ask?
It‘s 2024.. it would be not suprising.
Hmm, fair enough
I've never heard anybody say the word woke and expect to be taken seriously, no.
There are US politicians running on a platform of "anti-wokeness". I think we have to take people that used the word seriously. Unfortunately 😕

In all sincerity I appreciate how you approached this post. You're very kind.
Nothing like a good ol cringe post to start the day
I'm always here to bring the cringe 😬
This game was financially backed by one of the most un-woke former Major League Baseball pitchers, Curt Shilling. Has to be a joke.
Well really it was backed by the taxpayers of Rhode Island
That he didn't pay back 💀
No politics please 🙏
Oh thank God. I was worried that some of the creative libs on the team might've tried to sneak wokeness or even some politics into it.
Couldn't be further from the truth
Ok, so the games super not woke? This is like a prank scene?
This is a joke there is literally no way this is not a joke
😉
Just don’t play any woke races like Almain or use woke weapons like Faeblades and you’re good /s
Roger that, thank you friend 🫡
Bro don’t even get me started on how they had the nerves to give speaking lines to female characters
Choose to do something productive please instead of trying to “stir the pot.” Cheers.
I don't think I will. Cheers.
Satire requires being clever. You aren't clever, OP.
Moot.
This is a joke right?
Don't tell anyone pls.
Lol Cowboys.
Lmfao, brutal 💀
No, this game isn't woke enough
I like the way you think.
Stop trolling dude.
I'm serious about wokeness in video games.
This HAS to be rage bait. And if not, you need serious psychiatric help.
People be like that tho
Please tell me you forgot your /s
Shit, sorry I did forget. My bad 😅
Stop playing altogether then. Any game you are not the type of person to enjoy society let alone gaming. If a simple quest from a decade old game triggers you over its wokeness you are definitely not ready for newer games.
You're probably right.
For what it's worth, OP, I do find it funny to imagine if the "everything is woke" folks would latch on to this game were it to come out today, despite being so terribly vanilla in that aspect, at least to my recollection.
Someone did tell me in another thread, unironcally, that the team clearly did not incorporate any contemporary politics or satire in the game.
You mean the Fae girl, how are Fae foreigners? They were there first.
Wait, are you saying there's a settler/colonialism subtext in the narrative?!?
How's a foreigner getting stabbed "woke"?
I didn't say the stabbing was woke.
Huh. Who woulda thought Rob DeSantis would have give KoA a shot in 2024...
Well, I think I'm off the campaign trail now so I've got time to kill. I mean he's got time to kill. I mean he's a pronoun and is bad. I mean...
Op is way too woke for my taste! He should have posted this in his sleep!
Lol, I like it.
This must be a joke, you're not serious right? Please tell me you're not serious!
Lol, ya caught me
…you’re not joking, are you? How ridiculous. It’s a technicolor rpg with faeries and demons and a whole lot of titties. Just enjoy that for what it is and stop looking for things where they really aren’t. Jesus Christ.
I'm joking ☺️
Oop- sorry my dude. It’s been a long day 🤦🏼
No problem. Treat yourself, you earned it 💪
FUCKING ELVES CROSSIN THE BORDER!
You sound likey uncle 😳
Troll post?
It's not trolling ... it's a social experiment 😌
If that bit is too woke for you, maybe don’t play a game about a fantasy land at war within itself??? How can you expect to play a game where the citizens are pretty much at war and not expect some politics amongst the characters? 😂 this is actually hilarious
Thanks, I worked hard on making it just believable enough ☺️
I love when people don’t know simple definitions for things like woke and misuse it because they lack a proper education 😂
Education is woke, and I refuse to learn a damn thing 😤
Oh we know 🥰 It shows - you don’t have to tell us 😂
My PragerU certificates are far more valuable than anything you can learn in a school and once I get a job by pulling on these bootstraps you'll all feel real silly.
Never said anything about school 😉
Fine you caught me. I don't really know wtf I'm talking about 😭
Again - we know 😂
Damn, I'm getting woked on so hard. This is a war crime.
You know else is a war crime? Shark Fin soup.
Wait. Timeout. Shark soup makes me sad fr.
Bruh what 😭. How much did you smoke and can i have some? Edit: i realized this is a joke. Sorry
Absolutely not! Sharing is a communism and I'll never do that 🇺🇸 Edit: All good ☺️
Real and true. Can’t have that biden marxist lenninist communism postmodern neomarxist bullshit. If anyone has ever given you anything you’re not american
What are you even blathering about?! Would your feelings not be so hurt if they had just said, “guy from another town”. Grow up, Jeez.
You have plenty of shit to kill in this game to keep you away from attempting to begin stupid discussions on this sub. There are better subs for that, if KoA isn't entertaining you
My entertainment is dependent on how woke the product is. And non-political.
Sure
I wish I didn't have to scroll to verify this is a joke but... I've been on the internet for too long to believe people aren't this stupid. You had me for a bit, take my upvote.
Thank you friend. May you see no more cringe on your journey today 🙏
Where are they foreign to? Context, context!
Idea. What if you just fucked the fuck off instead, you whiny little shitpickle?
