Yeah, you're right, that's not a valid argument. The characters believe that because the writers want them to believe that.
However, this "issue" is a mountain out of a molehill. Other than like Life is Strange, you exaggerate everything because you are very sensitive to it due to your radicalization.

the story, characters, and gaym just suck then, I guess

That's a valid argument but the execution is what decides whether it's good or not. Most fantasy worlds don't dive into gender studies so trying to make a big deal out of pronouns and being non binary feels out of touch and more of a 4th wall break

Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding (Is this shit considered woke by the anti-wokes? I can't keep track) are definitely artistic integrity types of games. Then you get into indies, where it's hard to find a game that isn't obviously heavily influenced by the developers, such as Clair Obscur, Celeste, Hollow Knight, so on and so forth.

So, what are you complaining about? Is this still about Assassin's Creed? Sports games? EAslop? Call of Duty?

Oh yeah, another one. Intergalactic. The bald black woman game. That game is 100% a product of the autistic fart-huffer behind it. It appeals exactly to all his nostalgias and values.

So, yeah, I don't know what you're even trying to argue here.

>>714391424
Leftist art is literally made for the racists and bigots to teach them some kind of lesson. That's why get woke go broke is a thing, cause progressives see this stuff as medicine for the sick instead of art or entertainment. So they think "I'm already not racist so I don't need to buy this". And it ends up appealing to no one.

"Chuds" make games like Sifu, Brigador and Factorio where they don't shovel anti-woke grievance slop into their essence

>>714391286
you act as if you need to be an "anti-woke" type to be a chud

>>714392259
Sifu is 'revenge' bad asian-a-boo wank from Cali. Even their new game 'En Garde' would fit your bill of woke.

>>714392259
I love Sifu, but it has very heavy handed morals about revenge. It just doesn't bother you as much cause you agree with it or at least don't vehemently disagree with it like you do with some tranny flag hidden somewhere in the game.

Still, Sifu is kino, so yeah, more games like Sifu should get made, by a more diverse industry. Not diversity of only race and ethnicity, but of viewpoints too. Gamers only benefit from it.

>>714392591

No, the point is that you started listing them when they're not relevant to the discussion.

Its a big coincidence that every character agrees with the writer's opinions that all seem to be mirror the current woke agenda. A good writer should be able to make a sympathetic protagonist that holds views that differ from their own, for instance a white nationalist vigilante hero fighting black crime or the story of a camp guard in WW2 germany just doing what he believes is right

>>714393402
Imagine being so pathetic and uninteresting you start a movement specifically to inject politics into games, and make the discourse around games political, and then act surprised when people hate you for it.

>>714394152
You have to understand that for these people, their beliefs are literally a religion. Do you think an overwhelmingly Christian nation would EVER write a Satanist to be anything other than an objectively evil baby killing cannibal? This is how they view anyone that has even the slightest difference of opinion to them. You can't write them to be in any way sympathetic because they don't view people that think differently than them as human beings. They are the one true humans fighting for the objective moral good, why would they want to display anyone that disagrees with them as anything other than objective evil?

The first thing that sprang to mind is something from the Culture series of sci-fi stories but Iain M Banks. In that far future society, people are able to completely biologically change from male to female and back again at any time. There's a couple who start as both female, but each one in turn becomes male to impregnant the other and then eventually they are both female again and pregnant which I thought was a cool idea. And I am generally against trans as it is these days, the trans movement as it were. Also despite me being generally against AI replacement of humans as it is in the world these days, its one of the few settings with a positive view of AI, with them being considered sentient individuals with a benevelont stewardship relationship with humanity

I'd consider it an "awakening" of sorts, you can call it "woke". And we all have you and people like you to sincerely thank for that. Without leftists pushing for this shit, white racial consciousness would have been a pipe dream. Robin DiAngelo, and people like her have been crucial for this.
Now you sort of want to go back to the 90's "neutrality" but after 25 years of shit like picrelated, it is late. In hindsight, it was probably inevitable considering the zeal with which you've pushed and pushed for it. The thing is, waking up to this diversity shit going all the way back to the 70's only reinforces the current "radicalization" as you've put it, because you can look back and see for how long you've been poisoned. It's high time for whitey to become just as nepotistic as jews, arabs and blacks are. It's honestly a bright future going forward.

I used to be friends with a leftist online. It was definitely an eye opening experience in regards to how leftists see the world. Some of his greatest hits were announcing that he didn't need to rationally justify his world view and on another occasion telling me that I was a leftist too despite that very obviously not being the case (ie: my gun stance is "recreational nuclear bombs"), I was just controlled by propaganda. They really can't concieve of a good person disagreeing with them. He saw that I wasn't a baby eating monster and determined that I must be leftist in that case. Whatever I said about any topic was completely irrelevant because then he'd have to contend with somebody disagreeing with him and not being an avatar of evil.

The point is that /v/ doesn't agree with that to this day because The Walking Dead Season 1 was grandfathered in before you got radicalized, which is why if you try to spout that bullshit for too long you'll get accused of falseflagging.

>>714398156
The other people that replied to me were actually honest. You're still trying to pretend there's a difference. Grim.
It's so weird how Sean Vanaman wrote a story that didn't strike you as woke and then, a mere 4 years later, not even in time for Trump to get elected, he wrote Firewatch, which was of course le woke. So weird how that happened. Not you getting radicalized, of course. Every writer, every developer, everyone got mindbroken and became your enemy at the same time. You didn't change. It was everyone else.

>>714403229
Except it wasn't from the 90s to the 2000s we're talking about, dishonest faggot. I explicitly brought up The Walking Dead and Firewatch because it was from 2012 to 2016.

>>714395636
That isn't the same because they have the technology to fully switch sex. People object to crude procedures that turn you (also possibly a groomed minor) into a freak followed by forcing people to play pretend.
Although, even that technology would probably be hated if it existed in reality, after a flood of perverts genemodded themselves into little girls and tried to hang out with real ones and and groom them into weird fetishes
The benefit of writing a book is that you can focus on the acceptable cases and just not write the horrendous shit that real humans would actually do and in-universe, I think it's likely that the Minds heavily genetically and socially engineer the "humans" to be good citizens which is the only way that society would work in the first place

Actually I didn't give two shits about it then or now. As I have no knowledge of the game beyond "it takes place in a park, and you're a ranger", I can neither confirm nor deny your utterly baseless assumptions about my beliefs.

>Every writer, every developer, everyone got mindbroken and became your enemy
Strawman. I believe there are vested interests pushing this garbage, as well as hyper political activist types joining in said push.
Whatever the reason exactly, its hard not to notice a trend of games becoming increasingly woke...well, unless you're just blissfully ignorant about the world prior to around, 2016? Yeah, we'll stick with that date.

So why would there need to be a vested interest for developers to make games that speak to them as people? Do you not understand how art works?

Kojima is a Japanese man born in the 60s. He cared a lot about nukes. As a result, the MG and MGS games all speak to nukes and nuclear deterrence to some extent. There was no need for a vested anti-nuke interest. It was who he was to begin with. Likewise, literal trannies are probably gonna have that part of their identity translated into the games they make in one way or another. If you agree that the average game developer is left-leaning, why are you crying about vested interests?

Because they don't control the purse strings. Anything that isn't made solely by an independent developer is highly dependent on a larger corporate entity to fund them. Do you not understand how game creation is financed?

That's not what I said at all, retard. But they are both takes born from the artists behind the games. Just because you respect one take less than the other doesn't mean that that take wasn't created from the same simple process of being a reflection of the author. God, you're stupid.

Then why are you pretending that accusations of games being more "woke" have no merit? If you can acknowledge that said groups WILL inject their garbage into their work, and have always done so and will always do so, then you've literally just been talking out of your ass the entire time.
>why are you still responding, I thought you were going to sleep :^)
Because I was finishing up with the other thread I was arguing in, when I noticed your faggot ass had replied all fucken ready.

>>714387882
>imo imo imo
It's common enough to be an issue and we may just finally be on the tail end of devs realizing people don't want to buy their product to be patronized. I genuinely believe the new DA game was received so poorly and was such a massive project that suits assumed would find success that it caused a shift away from this trend.

>You must be a chud
Whatever helps you sleep better at night retard.
>you just like it when your politics-
What even are "My politics" if not a list that reads like a rent free stereotype being described?
>You're some sort of phobic or bigot!
People like you make the biggest argument for me to become one.

It's from an advertisement for obamacare featuring a very smug looking democrat.

>>714390967
ULTRAKILL, Abiotic Factor and various other games come straight from here, anon. Ironically enough when a chud makes a game the game seems to have fun and gameplay above all else.

>>714407457
>I'm totally sitting on the fence guys, don't you dare make me jump on the chud side by being so very woke!
why did you think this would fool anyone?

>>714407423
Games didn't get more woke in between 2012 and 2016. You got radicalized.

Or, to put it in perhaps terms that you will accept.

You got strong woman fatigue.
You got homo fatigue.
You got black fatigue.
You got anti-capitalism fatigue.
You got big environmentalism message fatigue.

You didn't really get tranny fatigue cause that was probably always a no-no to begin with, but that's it.

>>714407803
I don't give a shit beyond just wanting to play videogames. Game after game that had no reason to fail decided to fail because taxpayer incentives wanted them to shoehorn in lessons for racists and make the cast hold hands and sing by the campfire. I just wanted to play videogames and the fact so many people who otherwise don't have a horse in the race feel that way will piss you off endlessly, activist.

>>714407873
They quite literally were given taxpayer incentive from more than just the US but largely the US to inject talking points into their videogames under Obama, the king of drive-bys. Obama also terminated press honus to be factual.

>>714407956
>Game after game that had no reason to fail
Veilguard, Concord and Dustborn had no reasons to fail beside the fact they were woke. That's the narrative you're going with.

>>714387024 (OP)
Yeah, but the story is also dogshit.

>>714408092
Uh uh. So when more woke games get announced within the next decade, what's the new excuse gonna be?

>>714408152
None of these games were worse than a mid game.

Bad writing makes bad games worse because now this mid game is trying to treat you like you're 6 years old and watching a Saturday morning cartoon.

>>714408245
I don't think they will and if they do I don't care because I won't be buying or thinking of them until they puppet the corpse of a beloved IP again.

>>714408254
Babylon's Fall was mid. It flopped too. Being mid is more than good enough reason to gigaflop.

>>714408403
Another game I didn't hear of at all likely because it hit the ground marketing to Twitter FOMO

>>714408348
>I don't think they will
Good.
Anon, I hope that you remember you thought this. I hope you learn a lesson from this. I hope you internalize that you thought woke was finally over, and a decade from now you will finally accept that developers don't need vested interests to have their selves be reflected in the art they make. And that's a good thing.

>>714408605
I don't think it's over anon, I think it's growing increasingly untenable of a position and that it's ragebait days have sunsetted. It's on the slow 20 year fadeout as the initiatives are no longer taxpayer incentivized and the games seem to be a risk when not given guaranteed free money for including it.

Friendly reminder the EU and America paid to make games faker and gayer with taxpayer dime.

Left-wing people cannot argue in good faith, because they themselves don't actually believe the lies they spout

>>714390464
BMW is impossible to exist in a fantasy setting?

>>714390216
Here’s a better one

>games were always left wing!!!

Meanwhile the egregious "left wing" messages in games from before 2012:
>Post-WW2 American world policing has been a disaster
>corporate interests have corrupted many aspects of life and caused us to lose sight of our humanity
>we should improve society somewhat
>haha fags and trannies are funny
>dude weed should totally be legal man....
>the nazis were the bad guys!
>girls can be heroes too! just not on the boxart

>>714408605
NTA, but why does it make you feel glee and joy when subhumans make terrible dogshit filled with poisonous ideologies that shouldn't be tolerated nor respected? Are you a demon of some kind? Seriously. What's wrong with you?

>>714409080
Was nice when the political climate wasn't turned into a circus with legal permit from Obama wasn't it?

>>714409139
It makes me feel glee and joy that artists make the art they want to make and that reflects them and can't be bullied out of doing so.
I know you won't believe me, but back in 2012, I was making fun of Anita Sarkeesian crying about Hitman Absolution having sexy nuns and killable hookers. Because I fundamentally disagree with this idea of trying to police what other people make.
Now the anti-wokes are the ones in that position. And they have been doing that shit for quite a long time. I remember it as far back as Mafia 3 and Watch Dogs Legion.
If more anti-wokes were like Styg (or the Sifu devs, apparently) and just made their own games, every gamer would benefit from it. This crying and whining about games you don't like existing, on the other hand, is fucking pathetic.

>>714409080
Let’s not forget showing minorities as people and not fucking living saints.

>>714409450
>It makes me feel glee and joy that artists make the art they want to make and that reflects them and can't be bullied out of doing so
Yes I’m sure the consulting firms they hire to force this stuff definitely aren’t compromising anyone’s natural vision. Oh on an unrelated note here is what the protag to south of midnight looked like before SBI “convinced” the studio to hire them.

>>714396956
Why even use lukewarm consumerist TV-tie-in crap like The Walking Dead as an example when the same studio made Sam & Max and we can see quite clearly how the internal game dev climate has changed based on how much they had to censor for the recent "remaster"?

>>714409698
Actually they convinced Xbox to force the studio to hire them.

Very funny because it's yet another flop that led to this massive Xbox layoff.

>>714409698
You want to believe what you want to believe. Everyone is lying to you unless they tell you what you want to hear.

>>714409983
>Actually they convinced Xbox
Threatened, the word is threatened. They literally extort companies into hiring them. Their CEO admits as much.

How do you feel about the release of Nekopara and Blue Archive on Steam?

>>714409450
So you are evil? Knew it. Also, It will always be good to "cry and whine" about objectively bad/wrong things. Bad things are as it suggests, BAD, and they should not be allowed to go on without derision. You will never make those rightful actions be seen as a bad thing. You know how you can prevent that? By not being a piece of shit, not having awful beliefs/ideologies, and not putting said beliefs/ideologies in a piece of media. It's that easy.

>>714410079
That's a completely different game, retard.

>>714410364

Freedom of expression is GOOD and you're against it.

Can I portray MLK as white and Hitler as a misunderstood man who thought best for his people?

>>714410712
Yes

>>714409450
Modern games are enormous financial investments created by committee. You can call it "art" but it's more like old fashioned joint stock companies planning voyages with the potential to make or break the lives of thousands.

>>714409450
I feel nothing but glee when the very people you describe release their project anticipating overwhelming success when they've made a game for a very finite set of people.
