When someone says “woke” I immediately assume that they have an opinion of the thing in question that they know will be seen as sexist, racist or -phobic in some way that if they said directly would get them called out on.
It’s just another cowards way of saying “I’m not racist but…”
The bullshit wouldn’t be pushed if marginalized people in our society would be treated the same as everyone else and you know it. Grow up and stop being annoyed with black mermaids ffs
Depends on what you consider bullshit. And if you complain about woke you probably have stupid opinions.
True that some ‘woke’ game suck, like that most recent saint’s row. But that’s because the writing is terrible, not because it includes minorities. Just an example
Like what? what don't you appreciate? What exactly and specifically about it is bullshit? Are we too afraid to say what we actually hate about the content being presented?
Thus successfully agitating liberals into censoring a word that originally was created by the black community to highlight the calling out of systemic racism and it’s lasting effects on society.
I don’t use it because it’s social suicide, but I think either everyone should be allowed to use it or no one should. But that’s like an opinion on USA tipping culture. You can have your opinions, just don’t exercise them unless you’re ready for trouble
Still is. If someone who doesn’t think anyone else but white, straight people are allowed representation in our diverse world calls you woke as a slur, you wear that as a badge of honor
That’s probably a fair assumption at this point, but I wish there was a word for egregiously obnoxious shoehorning of culture war stuff that wouldn’t get immediately diluted into a generic partisan shibboleth. For instance when they were doing the Enhanced Edition of the first games, and using the characters as mouthpieces to break the fourth wall to whine about gamergate, I don’t think you really have to be a bigot to be annoyed by it or want to put a label on that sort of thing.
It never meant anything. It is just a slur word invented by right wingers for when they face repercussions for their bigotry. They regularly switch out the word when they think it has outlived its usefulness. Older terms were PC and SJW. None of them meant anything.
Shit man, that means even the original WoW was pretty woke with all the same sex avatar simulating rubbing on Ironforge.
Given all the cross-species simulated sex going on (like dwarfs doing it with elves), same sex, different sexes, thresomes and more-somes it was hugelly woke even by today’s “standards”.
Most things are "woke" by modern bigots. That's OK. We should always points out to conservatives that most things are woke so they GTFO and leave us alone.
Depends on your definition, but doesn't appear to be. The developers haven't gone out of their way to ham-fist any ideological messaging into the game, while allowing people to craft whatever character and story they like. Still, few people have actually played the game, so we won't know until it drops.
The only people concerned about wokeness are the same exact people who perpetuate the same old White Fright/Satanic Panic insane conservative bigotry. If you have to ask, yes, Baldur’s Gate is woke. That game is SO woke it will actually FORCE your children to turn into gay black trans ANTIFA supersoldiers hellbent on eradicating America. If you don’t want to play a woke game, do not play Baldur’s Gate 3. Don’t play the first two either - I did as a child, and now I make sarcastic posts trying to piss off humanity’s worst. BG has always been a video game series intent on pushing the librulgenda.
