i've commented this somewhere else but like... do these people not realise that in real life people exist without a reason😭 they'll see someone who's POC for example who is just. on a walk or something and they'll be like but WHY? they add NOTHING to the plot! 😭😭😭😭😭🙁 if a cishet white male character has no personality and is just a bad character it's bad writing but if they're not any of those things it's because of the WOKE shoehorned in identity. we should start doing this the other way and going Umm.. did he really have to be white AND male..? AND straight? idk it's just a bit unrealistic..

That’s unfortunately part of the grift. The short term goal of Anti-woke grifters is to associate any and all bad things in media projects as exclusively because of “woke ideology,” because their overall objective is to exclude and gatekeep.

[@adamvancleave9200]

Also that would be “token” not “woke”.

Notice how any game that has a darker skinned woman protag always gets extra scrutiny, it often isn't even mentioned but even games criticized for other reasons like Alan Wake 2 and Forspoken had a target on their back from inception.

​@@lordyoda9382ah yes, fantasy lore about elves and dragons doesn't have a space for women with darker skin, only Aryan orcs allowed or something.

It never ceases to amaze me how these people go out of their way to point out how "woke people are snowflakes" Then literally make a list of games that hurt their feelings because it showed how archaic their opinions are. Just wow.

portal: features a woman who is also a person of color and a robot woman (reccomended) portal 2: features the same woman but features actual men for the first time. but those men are seen as dumb so (too woke)

They said space marine 2 was Woke because of the space marines having different skin colors and the guardsmen having women in it. Dave the diver is woke because of the chef being black, that’s it.
