Unfortunately, that mindset exists. My mother was telling me once about how surprised she was to see a Black man speaking German, in Berlin. I told her that he was probably born there and she looked at me like, "Oh yeah, that's a thing that can happen; that's still weird to me though".
Is it even Paris? I haven't played the game but my understanding was that it's a fantasy setting which is vaguely French in the same way that, like, the world of The Witcher is vaguely Polish/Slavic.
"la ville lumière" (the city of light) is a nickname for Paris in french. The city you start in is called lumière, has the eiflle tower and the arc of triumph in it.
Paris used to be called Ville Lumière (Light City) because in the 17th century it was known for pioneering public lighting.
The title was also used in other cities, but neither Lyon nor Montréal possess the Arc de Triomphe or Eiffel's Tower.
Additionally it was called so during the enlightenment because of its reputation for housing philosophers, intellectuals and scientists; Lumière (Light) in this case playing a definitionally more abstract role.
Yeah and that's partially the point of Gustave's entire character. If he was an asshole who didn't care and was really selfish he wouldn't have become an expeditioner. He does everything because he cares about the people in his life, especially the women, and even for those he'll never meet.
Yep. Its just a meaningless buzzword that is used to shut people's brains off from experiencing new/different things.
Everyone was calling BG3 woke. Then, they played it and liked it and suddenly it wasnt woke. Because woke just means 'idk what that is, i have no experience with it, but I dont like it because liberals'
Every play Jedi Fallen Order? She's the jedi master in that game. Deborah Wilson is a confident, (usually?) bald black woman who does a lot of voice work, and they tend to simply use her actual face for her characters in games. last I checked it's not something that she forces, they just do that.
If these guys can retroactively decide BG3 isn’t woke (perhaps the gayest mainstream game ever made) because it was a roaring success, they can do it for anything.
Those guys hated BG3 before it became basically the biggest game in the world when it released.
Yeah its super fun as according to their adage, "go woke go broke", anything woke must fail. So they will often preemptively call anything and everything woke based on any random stillframe from a trailer only to say "I told you so" if the game bombs, or backtrack and spam "Why E33 TERRIFIES modern developers" YouTube videos if the game becomes a hit
I always laugh reading their "Go woke go broke" but then two of the most successful games of recent times are extremely woke, BG3 and Elden Ring alike are really woke games? Almost like normal people don't care about "woke" and just want good games.
Every time they say a game fails for being woke it's always a game that was bad for other reasons, but alas...
Yes, because there was a black character. But once they see that character dies early, they can live with it. Mind you, they don’t like it, but they can get past it.
Even then. Alexandre Dumas (the Comte de Monte Cristo author) was part black. His father, a metis was a general in the revolutionary army. That's some very not white, very successful French people more than 100 years before the game timeline.
And that's without taking into account in 1900 France still had most of its sub Saharian colonies.
You can pick what genitalia and body type your character has regardless of their gender (which you can pick like a ton of) and almost every character is bi sexual gay or lesbian but it isnt woke because I enjoy it
I remember messing with the character respec right before triggering a sex scene. I was varying the gender and genital options to see what scene I got. The results were hilarious sometimes.
Oh, but you see, they believe that BG3 succeeded" in spite of being woke." They still have to mod the fuck out of the game to not get triggered by seeing a POC character or having Gale hit on them.
dudes be like "im so tired of the left not being bothered to engage in fair, just, and good faith debate" then be the most unfair, unjust, bad faith people ever when it actually comes time to debate
that is especially what i learned surfing on the net (😎) that you should never take place in a debate with one of these cunts. their entire life revolves around the idea that they should be the “winner” and their opponents should get “owned” even at their own expense. believe me it is not worth the loss of brain cells due to stress. block and move on’s the best move
They tend to think that winners and losers are already determined by who you are before you engage in competition. When debating with others, their default is that they are already the winner because they're on Team Winner. Team Loser here is just making dumbass noises like a loser. It's not a debate.
I remember that interview with I think either Tucker or Ben Shapiro and they got mad and left when a British news anchor press them on problems and questions.
I dont think they care if the black guy dies or not. They're just happy the only black guy has less than 2% of the overall gameplay. For them, the only way to make it better is to not have a black guy at all.
I genuinely cannot imagine having that much hatred in your heart. to be happy at the suffering of others, to wish death on strangers. those thoughts wouldn't have even occurred to me if someone didn't tell me others think like that. what must it be like living in their head every day?
Then they wouldn't have any of the sports they watch or music they listen to or any of the food they eat, etc. Racists love to enjoy black culture of those they hate while shunning the human beings that make up that culture.
I love how they ignore that one of the main playable characters is asian. I guess that doesn't count as woke diversity coz asian women hot or something.
Honestly, even this “shameful” showing of it still spreads the content. Which is what they want. This shit shouldn’t even be allowed either. They have no shame, they only want to spread propaganda.
"For those who came after" is a woke-ass motto lol. The story is about people who burn themselves for a sunrise they know they'll never see. It implies empathy and sacrifice - things the so-called "alpha males" know very little about.
Bro that woman in that screenshot looks EXACTLY like what they put in all the "woke western women in games" to juxtapose against some anime girl. Not saying she looks bad, but she definitely would be called woke constantly if the game wasn't popular.
I almost made the same mistake, because I was taking the name from the screenshot, but since English isn't my first language, and I mess up names easily, I have a habit of double-checking on Google.
I know that, but I still don't get it. Both Jennifer English and Ben Star are about to be cast in every major game and they both have very characteristic voices, unmistakable with anyone else.
Also looks, VAs get face scanned a lot for games nowadays and Debra is a middle aged woman with a face that has some strong features that the chuds don't like (especially those big eye of hers, people on 4chan really hate that)
she's a prolific character actress, seemingly left of center, over 30, doesn't have huge knockers, and Black. gamers hate any of these individually, so all of them together drive them into an apoplectic rage.
Can you elaborate on that one? I played the game recently and didn't get that feeling? But to be fair I was playing it casually so I skipped a lot of more difficult content
Maybe that's because you're not easily personally affected by two fictional characters being gay.
But you see, some people are so insecure that pixels on screen mentioning gay companionship is enough to disturb them deeply.
And instead of addressing their insecurity with a psychologist, they unleash on the LGBTQIA+ community because that's always somehow someone else's fault.
c'mon guys, this is one of those situations where you can imagine one of them being a man and there'd be no discussion about whether they banged or not.
I loved Jennifer English’s speech idk if it was here or another awards event.
“I chose queer joy!”
It was wonderful unironically but even more wonderful since these grifters go into gay as a slur and a shortcoming when Jennifer said her vulnerable performance she drew a lot from her struggles being gay.
I’m glad Aliona makes her so happy they’re adorable together 😊
I hadn't played Clair Obscur yet, but i'd swear it has the "Woke" (i hate that i have to use that word) vibe all over it, and i'm pretty sure i've heard them bitching about it when it came out too?
Also, they are really fucking stuck on Debra Wilson, she was in like 3 games in the past decade, and they just can't let it go for some reason. Racists are so weird.
I love how this absolutely paints expedition 33 as a horribly racist game/homophobic game.
“Don’t make games political” crowd. When game isn’t political. instantly makes it political.
Anyways, every game that gets 5+ awards in game awards gets backlash. That’s the simple truth of it. It’s a big dick contest and whoever loses will get upset.
"Woke" game wins awards and massively oversells vs expectations and surprisingly was based and red pilled since it's release and "was only ever hated by the left and the LGBTQ+". Truly a tale as old as time.
These drooling chuds make me wish every game was as loaded with "wokeness" as they claim, just in the hope that it would drive them all to leave and ruin someone else's hobby instead.
No LGBTQ+ characters? Sciel is the EPITOME of disaster bi and I won't stand for this erasure!
Also weren't these people pissed off at the game because of Jennifer English taking about queer joy a few weeks ago? The fucking whiplash with these morons...their necks must be in agony
I’m still laughing at the whole thing about Witcher 4 “dealing with racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination being at the forefront since Ciri is going to be dealing with them firsthand and we’ll be seeing it from her perspective.”
“Wahhh what’s this woke nonsense being in Witcher 4! The previous Witchers never dealt with that!”
Blatantly ignoring Geralt dealt with that everyday, and even went out of his way to hunt down the people who said mean things or tried to harm Triss, Yennefer and Ciri 🤣. We are merely going from Geralt’s view to Ciri’s view.
I know you guys are making jokes but this is an all too casual reminder that we are all too peacefully sharing a space with people who believe lgbt+ people not existing (as far as they know) and black people dying before getting too much screen time are positives.
Im not tolerant enough of intolerance to be cute around it.
I truly don't know who likes or hates E33 anymore. I'm left as fuck and played the game at launch and Steam-equivalent-of-platinumed it. It's amazing and I didn't want it to end. But I keep seeing people complain that it shouldn't have won over "less woke" games, but now it's also not a woke game, and everything in-between.
No LGBTQ characters? There are multiple gay couples just in the opening chapter, and no one can tell me that it wasn’t extremely heavily implied that Lune and Sciel had been intimate with eachother in the past.
Wait until they find out the script and story was written by a woman, part of the LGTQB+ who used to have very colorful hair XD And that the whole team hates them grifter.
Dude these people are maddeningly hypocritical and lack any self awareness or ability to form coherent thoughts.
Like everyone said, initially a ton of grifters tried to claim the game was woke the moment it releases. They did what they always do and shut the fuck up once they realize a game is undeniably successful.
Instead of looking at the real reasons people are mad a game won all the awards for different categories. They immediately tie it to their shit worldview and refuse to look at any of the actual complaints people made. Like oh maybe a Double A game with serious backing shouldn’t win best indie title??
They’re insane caricatures and I honestly wish I didn’t have to know these people existed.

Didn't they called this game Woke when it was first launched lol.
Yes because they thought Gustave was too henpecked by the women around him and he was too mild
Don’t forget that it depicted Paris as having black people in it.
The absolute audacity of black people. I mean, they’re just out there! Existing!!
Next they're gonna tell me there's black people in New York City.
“Well Margot, there are Jews, and Arabs.. I think there are Mexicans too, Mexicans, Margot, how do you think they survive the cold” /s
If you go by 90s sitcoms, there are like 3 at most
I loled at ur username
And you made me lol at their username
I mean, arguably, it had a furry too with Monoco. And Lune is quite obviously Asian. Somehow that’s also always glossed over.
White conservatives love Asian women (fetishising really) dont ask a white conservative what ethinicity is his wife
Also, Indian women count but they're like a distant embarrassing second, and they really wish they'd become more white and convert to Christianity too
Dont ask jd Vance the ethnicity of his wife.
That's because she's an Asian woman and she's constantly showing her feet. If she was a dude they'd hate it
Unlike real Paris /s
Unfortunately, that mindset exists. My mother was telling me once about how surprised she was to see a Black man speaking German, in Berlin. I told her that he was probably born there and she looked at me like, "Oh yeah, that's a thing that can happen; that's still weird to me though".
Is it even Paris? I haven't played the game but my understanding was that it's a fantasy setting which is vaguely French in the same way that, like, the world of The Witcher is vaguely Polish/Slavic.
Devs have said it was directly inspired by Paris and used "Paris meets X" in the pitch to investors.
"la ville lumière" (the city of light) is a nickname for Paris in french. The city you start in is called lumière, has the eiflle tower and the arc of triumph in it.
It's Paris, but not really. The city is called Lumiere.
Paris used to be called Ville Lumière (Light City) because in the 17th century it was known for pioneering public lighting. The title was also used in other cities, but neither Lyon nor Montréal possess the Arc de Triomphe or Eiffel's Tower.
Additionally it was called so during the enlightenment because of its reputation for housing philosophers, intellectuals and scientists; Lumière (Light) in this case playing a definitionally more abstract role.
Paris is called la ville lumière
Explaining this is actually more spoilerific than it might seem. Let's just say the design of the city of Lumière is very intentional.
I mean, there's litteraly a twisted Eiffel Tower in the middle of the city...
Yeah and that's partially the point of Gustave's entire character. If he was an asshole who didn't care and was really selfish he wouldn't have become an expeditioner. He does everything because he cares about the people in his life, especially the women, and even for those he'll never meet.
And Sophie was adamant on not having kids.
Lucky the women disintegrated ten minutes in so he could both have a manpain and continue doing masculine stuff like farting and hating women
The corollary of "get woke go broke" is that successful games are retroactively not woke. It's why the definition is intentionally vague.
Look at Baldurs Gate 3 for example.
Yep. Its just a meaningless buzzword that is used to shut people's brains off from experiencing new/different things.
Everyone was calling BG3 woke. Then, they played it and liked it and suddenly it wasnt woke. Because woke just means 'idk what that is, i have no experience with it, but I dont like it because liberals'
The famously non-woke BG3 where:
EVERY character is LGBTQ
might have Deborah Wilson (/uj I actually don't understand this point in the OP. Who is she and why do they dislike her?)
The black guy is a main character
Beautifully written characters and main story
priced at $60 and massively overdelivered on content
Every play Jedi Fallen Order? She's the jedi master in that game. Deborah Wilson is a confident, (usually?) bald black woman who does a lot of voice work, and they tend to simply use her actual face for her characters in games. last I checked it's not something that she forces, they just do that.
Also, /rj, you forgot bear sex scene.
The gayest-without-trying game I've ever played. (Complimentary)
They were trying. Very hard. Doesn't diminish it in any way at all
Not hard enough. I need it to be gayer next time.
They definitely tried. And succeeded spectacularly.
Meh I saw several times people saying that BG3 was woke
I saw it but only before it became wildly successful, then it largely shifted to "nah not woke because it wasn't forced"
If these guys can retroactively decide BG3 isn’t woke (perhaps the gayest mainstream game ever made) because it was a roaring success, they can do it for anything.
Those guys hated BG3 before it became basically the biggest game in the world when it released.
Yeah its super fun as according to their adage, "go woke go broke", anything woke must fail. So they will often preemptively call anything and everything woke based on any random stillframe from a trailer only to say "I told you so" if the game bombs, or backtrack and spam "Why E33 TERRIFIES modern developers" YouTube videos if the game becomes a hit

Exactly
Yes, because there was a black character. But once they see that character dies early, they can live with it. Mind you, they don’t like it, but they can get past it.
Well, yeah, but then it did well, so no
I remember seeing many people call this game woke because France was “too diverse” for the time period lmao
Yeah, there were no women back then. Just a bunch of oiled up muscular men. God I miss 60...
Tick tock
isn't the game set in a different world inspired by belle epoque france?
Even then. Alexandre Dumas (the Comte de Monte Cristo author) was part black. His father, a metis was a general in the revolutionary army. That's some very not white, very successful French people more than 100 years before the game timeline.
And that's without taking into account in 1900 France still had most of its sub Saharian colonies.
it's like they believe black people didn't exist until mlk came around
Should be too woke for these people just by virtue of being French honestly
Wait wasn't clair obscur woke ?
As per usual, it was woke until grifters found out it was really popular, and then it magically became anti-woke.
See also: Baldur's Gate 3, a game where you can fuck a druid in bear form
Well there's nothing woke about that, as long as it's straight bear sex.
You can pick what genitalia and body type your character has regardless of their gender (which you can pick like a ton of) and almost every character is bi sexual gay or lesbian but it isnt woke because I enjoy it
Well of course, if it were woke you wouldn't have liked it, woke things suck!
I remember messing with the character respec right before triggering a sex scene. I was varying the gender and genital options to see what scene I got. The results were hilarious sometimes.
“If a gay man wants to marry a gay woman, I’m all for it”
Ah yes, the “everyone has the same rights” crowd
you can have gay AND trans bear sex if you want
Were forgetting the non binary squid sex
Straight/bear
Pick one
And your elf GF is like "Oh hell yeah I'd climb mount halsin too"
Shadowheart really be chill like that
Wyll literally calling him a thick hunk of an elf and Astarion being fine with the bear threesome 😭 half the party is down bad for Halsin
I wish I could fuck that bear. He’s a hot bear.

Halsin is the definition of a very horny and very safe partner.
That's just a normal day in Goldshire
It will never not be funny that there's some list of woke games out there, and that there's rimworld in it lol
No, you see it’s successful, so it can’t be woke. Same with BG3.
Oh, but you see, they believe that BG3 succeeded" in spite of being woke." They still have to mod the fuck out of the game to not get triggered by seeing a POC character or having Gale hit on them.
And to tone down Astarion's ass, else they get weird feelings.
I wonder how they deal with Act 2, considering the main story there is essentially just a lesbian romance...
It's woke until it gets popular. Then it's a hidden gem
Yeah, but then it made lots of money and won lots of awards, and that'd conflict with their "go woke go broke" message.
They’d need reading comprehension to see it, though.
Always was.
Is woke until it gets recognition, then it becames a game for the chuds. Like Baldurs Gate 3.
If the game flopped or would have been woke
“The only black character dies…” so they just want black people to die. Got it.
mfs will be like “you can’t call everyone you disagree with a nazi” and then say shit like that lmao

I remember that interview with I think either Tucker or Ben Shapiro and they got mad and left when a British news anchor press them on problems and questions.
If it sounds like a duck, looks like a duck, and gets its opinions straight from "mein quackf"...
I dont think they care if the black guy dies or not. They're just happy the only black guy has less than 2% of the overall gameplay. For them, the only way to make it better is to not have a black guy at all.
That is news to you?
I had to re-read the line just to make sure I didn’t misread it.
How nice for the racist scumbag to out himself so easily.
Kinda crazy that they used to tip toe around stuff like that but now they just feel empowered to say it out loud.
I genuinely cannot imagine having that much hatred in your heart. to be happy at the suffering of others, to wish death on strangers. those thoughts wouldn't have even occurred to me if someone didn't tell me others think like that. what must it be like living in their head every day?
yeah their list confused me like is that supposed to be a good thing?
Then they wouldn't have any of the sports they watch or music they listen to or any of the food they eat, etc. Racists love to enjoy black culture of those they hate while shunning the human beings that make up that culture.
I love how they ignore that one of the main playable characters is asian. I guess that doesn't count as woke diversity coz asian women hot or something.

"For those who came after" is a woke-ass motto lol. The story is about people who burn themselves for a sunrise they know they'll never see. It implies empathy and sacrifice - things the so-called "alpha males" know very little about.
Oh hey, Based Luthen Rael quote.
so is "when one falls, we continue". Lune's whole speech with it made me want to make it into a queer rights patch tbh
Nobody tell them Jennifer English has a girlfriend.
Well nobody should tell them that because it's not true. She's got a girlfriend but they aren't married
Same gf she met during bg3 development?
Her girlfriend also auditioned for Shadowheart but ended up in another position (I can't remember what exactly).
At a con I went to Jennifer talked about how she did all her romantic scenes with her.
She ended up voicing one of the squirrels in the grove
And performance director as well, she directed Jennifer among others
“The only black character dies within the first 30 minutes.” So we are being openly racist now?
Dude. Look around you right now.
That’s fair
Black people: Now?
And they want me to believe they care about "beautifully written characters" they have no idea what they are talking about
Bro that woman in that screenshot looks EXACTLY like what they put in all the "woke western women in games" to juxtapose against some anime girl. Not saying she looks bad, but she definitely would be called woke constantly if the game wasn't popular.
If I recall Horizon Zero Dawn was very popular but Alloy still got bashed by anti woke people
They like her because she's 16.
Isn't that like 3-4 years too old by their book?
There's 3 female playable characters, none of which have big booba or are half naked. In other circumstances, they would be crying about The Woke.
Still though, every main character in Expedition 33 is stupidly attractive
No LGBTQ characters. There is an openly gay couple in the opening cinematic. Also, the voice actor who won best voice is openly Austisic and gay.
No Deborah Wilson. What is wrong with her? She just likes voice acting and being in video games.
Only black character dies in 30 minutes. The main character actively sounds like he is going to cry when describing that guy’s death also, Sciel?
Black and a woman, apparently that is borderline criminal.
What is up with Debra Wilson slander? I love her, and I'm always doing the
https://i.redd.it/fgrb0u2l2l7g1.gif
whenever she appears in a game I didn't know she was in
Ben Starr is openly gay and autistic? Well not like I give a flying fuck. He would do anything for money (please get the joke fellow losers)
You had me in the first and second half
I mean, did you see how jazzed he was for others winning awards, I wouldn’t be surprised
Big thank you to Reb and Megan for giving us another Ben Starr reaction image
also sciel and lune made it quite clear that they fucked once
I can't understand the hate for Debra Wilson.
They can't even spell her name.
Gotta make it look more "black" to let everyone know they're just racist little cucks.
I almost made the same mistake, because I was taking the name from the screenshot, but since English isn't my first language, and I mess up names easily, I have a habit of double-checking on Google.
She is black and has many roles in video games. These two reasons why they hate her
I know that, but I still don't get it. Both Jennifer English and Ben Star are about to be cast in every major game and they both have very characteristic voices, unmistakable with anyone else.
You don't know what's the problem with Debra Wilson? It's easy!
Racism.
That's it.
Also looks, VAs get face scanned a lot for games nowadays and Debra is a middle aged woman with a face that has some strong features that the chuds don't like (especially those big eye of hers, people on 4chan really hate that)
There are characters Debra Wilson have voiced who you'd never guess was her, like Kit in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
Wilson was a regular on MadTV back in the day and did pretty much spot-on impressions of the various celebrities she portrayed.
Because she’s DEI in their minds. And she had a handful of banger games back to back
She’s a really cool cat and I love watching her do interviews. Sharp and funny
she's a prolific character actress, seemingly left of center, over 30, doesn't have huge knockers, and Black. gamers hate any of these individually, so all of them together drive them into an apoplectic rage.
She's a black bald woman, that's like a mortal sin to these people
Funny how they called this game woke until it became clear it was going to be an absolute success.
Yep. Whenever grifters are proven wrong, they either just shift the goalpost or do a complete 180 and act like they never said the game was woke.
Sciel and Lune definitely had a fling.
The Ratman and his sycophants would know this if they actually played the game.
Can you elaborate on that one? I played the game recently and didn't get that feeling? But to be fair I was playing it casually so I skipped a lot of more difficult content
They have a fireside conversation about how they gave each other their company when their parents gommaged, making it quite clear it was sex.
Jesus I remember the scene but it went over my head so hard 😭
Sciel was basically leaning on Lune with bedroom eyes. The only reason they didn't do anything right then was because everyone was depressed as fuck.
Plus a teenager was right there
The other times when a sex scene is implied they just walk away. But Gustave had just had his big moment so I don't think the mood was right.
Gustave's Big Moment sounds like a lighthearted 80's/90's coming of age movie à la Ferris Bueller's Day off.
Look I'm on my phone and spoiler tags are a pain.
calling what happened "Gustave's Big Moment" should not be as funny as it is
Maybe that's because you're not easily personally affected by two fictional characters being gay.
But you see, some people are so insecure that pixels on screen mentioning gay companionship is enough to disturb them deeply.
And instead of addressing their insecurity with a psychologist, they unleash on the LGBTQIA+ community because that's always somehow someone else's fault.
Well, but also, lesbians and lesbian sex aren't gay or homosexual -- they're hot.
These chuds are fully supportive of two (attractive) women having sex with one another. But God forbid if one or both are ugly.
Wasn't one of the journal entries a lesbian relationship?
no no they were just comforting each other! 🥰
c'mon guys, this is one of those situations where you can imagine one of them being a man and there'd be no discussion about whether they banged or not.
No lgbtq+ characters...but that bulge w/ swim suit 👀
Don't forget both Gustave and Verso has that sadness in their eyes that you only see in eastern european gay porn
https://i.redd.it/41oz8wlk1m7g1.gif
Verso over here looking like a kicked puppy
I loved Jennifer English’s speech idk if it was here or another awards event.
“I chose queer joy!”
It was wonderful unironically but even more wonderful since these grifters go into gay as a slur and a shortcoming when Jennifer said her vulnerable performance she drew a lot from her struggles being gay.
I’m glad Aliona makes her so happy they’re adorable together 😊
Its so weird how loudly announcing how racist and stupid you are is now considered an asset in the social media space.
This game is so undeniably woke its crazy. They lost all credibility since callin bg3 not woke a while back
gay sex with a literal bear? not woke non-white people? super woke
Yikes!
I hate these fucking people.
I hadn't played Clair Obscur yet, but i'd swear it has the "Woke" (i hate that i have to use that word) vibe all over it, and i'm pretty sure i've heard them bitching about it when it came out too?
Also, they are really fucking stuck on Debra Wilson, she was in like 3 games in the past decade, and they just can't let it go for some reason. Racists are so weird.
I love how this absolutely paints expedition 33 as a horribly racist game/homophobic game.
“Don’t make games political” crowd. When game isn’t political. instantly makes it political.
Anyways, every game that gets 5+ awards in game awards gets backlash. That’s the simple truth of it. It’s a big dick contest and whoever loses will get upset.
And then they complain how they get called racist and/or homophobic.
Also nice of seeing Mr Roach King and his "superior culture" shining as always.
"Woke" game wins awards and massively oversells vs expectations and surprisingly was based and red pilled since it's release and "was only ever hated by the left and the LGBTQ+". Truly a tale as old as time.
Aren't these the same people who cried when there were a lot of black NPCs at the beginning of the game
Oh I've seen this before, they did this with BGIII
Its french everyone is gay curious

"The Only Black character dies within the first 30 minutes"
Genuine question why do they hate Deborah Wilson? Literally one of the best voice actors around especially with her playing savathun
Because they are racists
Goddamn, that isn’t even a dogwhistle, that’s an entire air raid siren.
The dev on X litteraly follows an organization to help black women integrate into the video game industry And a far-left media outlet...
No LGBTQ+ character? Explain Monoco and Verso then.
These drooling chuds make me wish every game was as loaded with "wokeness" as they claim, just in the hope that it would drive them all to leave and ruin someone else's hobby instead.
No LGBTQ+ characters? Sciel is the EPITOME of disaster bi and I won't stand for this erasure! Also weren't these people pissed off at the game because of Jennifer English taking about queer joy a few weeks ago? The fucking whiplash with these morons...their necks must be in agony
No LGBT+ character? Someone did not pay attention to the relationship dialogues. Lune and Sciel sure were not always platonic.
Way to turn me off the game.
Then again they also don't realize that the Witcher is the wokest shit ever and they still go down on that game.
Regardless Zack is a loser and nobody should feel bad for him for anything in his life
I’m still laughing at the whole thing about Witcher 4 “dealing with racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination being at the forefront since Ciri is going to be dealing with them firsthand and we’ll be seeing it from her perspective.”
“Wahhh what’s this woke nonsense being in Witcher 4! The previous Witchers never dealt with that!”
Blatantly ignoring Geralt dealt with that everyday, and even went out of his way to hunt down the people who said mean things or tried to harm Triss, Yennefer and Ciri 🤣. We are merely going from Geralt’s view to Ciri’s view.
funny how the people who never played a game switch up when their "go woke, go broke" arguments are proven wrong
Wait till they learn that Maelle's VA likes women
I know you guys are making jokes but this is an all too casual reminder that we are all too peacefully sharing a space with people who believe lgbt+ people not existing (as far as they know) and black people dying before getting too much screen time are positives.
Im not tolerant enough of intolerance to be cute around it.
They were literally complaining that it didn't have enough white people and that it had too many women.
It is woke until it comes out and is actually good and then we will find a reason as to why it is anti woke
I truly don't know who likes or hates E33 anymore. I'm left as fuck and played the game at launch and Steam-equivalent-of-platinumed it. It's amazing and I didn't want it to end. But I keep seeing people complain that it shouldn't have won over "less woke" games, but now it's also not a woke game, and everything in-between.
No LGBTQ characters? There are multiple gay couples just in the opening chapter, and no one can tell me that it wasn’t extremely heavily implied that Lune and Sciel had been intimate with eachother in the past.
Wait until they find out the script and story was written by a woman, part of the LGTQB+ who used to have very colorful hair XD And that the whole team hates them grifter.
The only backlash I've been seeing has been from the Half-Life fans and uh... I don't think it's the kind of backlash they're talking about...

Dude these people are maddeningly hypocritical and lack any self awareness or ability to form coherent thoughts.
Like everyone said, initially a ton of grifters tried to claim the game was woke the moment it releases. They did what they always do and shut the fuck up once they realize a game is undeniably successful.
Instead of looking at the real reasons people are mad a game won all the awards for different categories. They immediately tie it to their shit worldview and refuse to look at any of the actual complaints people made. Like oh maybe a Double A game with serious backing shouldn’t win best indie title??
They’re insane caricatures and I honestly wish I didn’t have to know these people existed.
Can Americans stop making everything about wokeness/conservative basedness? It's so fucking annoying
No, the game's success has absolutely nothing to do with the ethnicity of the characters
I've got bad news for you, it's not just Americans. Hell, it's likely not even majority Americans.
