Every time there is a new game coming out. I go into Social media and what I see is "this game is woke because two dudes are kissing and there is a black protagonists, delete and refund" There are so many people that seem to care about it that I start to wonder if I am the insane one?

like Do these people genuinely believe that artists will stop being political and talk about their beliefs just because you said you don't like it? or that games will stop being "woke" because like, 3 games flopped for reasons OTHER THAN it was "woke"

Let's ignore the story quality, graphical fidelity, optimization, gameplay quality, etc.. Oh, no! The only reason why this succeeded is because that character has a fat ass! The reason for why that game has failed is because this character said they were non-binary!

like, Just how are people are not tired of this shit? This debate is about as deep as a puddle, has no consequence on real life, and the roots of this debate is based on ignorance and assumptions.

Hell, I got told that the Oblivion remaster was great and "not woke" because it sold more on Steam than AC Shadows Shadows and Dragon Age Veilguard

But also that Oblivion is "woke" for removing male and female and replacing it with Body Type 1/2

Keep in mind the people who are ranting about these "woke" games online on every single steam forum do so because they have nothing better to do. Instead of playing fun games, they'd rather jump at shadows and complain, instead of contributing to society, they'd rather be pathetic sad sacks with no friends because they are so repulsive. They spend all their time complaining, which creates the illusion that there are a lot of people complaining, when it is a small group that is just very vocal with too much time on their hands.
