Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Who are these fucking complete garbage people who can conceive of a world where there are elves, dwarves, Qunari and darkspawn, but trans people are a bridge too far?
I have no idea what woke even means anymore. It seems to mean "social awareness". Black lives matters kind of a thing. Equal rights for trans people too of course. That doesn't mean that everyone should support games being forced into having all genders, or races, or include trans people. Or all books or movies should be forced to have those things.
If you create something, it's up to you how you want that to be. You are the artist.
This is not equal to hating trans people, and anyone with some iq points realizes this. We can't turn every creation into a vehicle for trans rights.
The fuck are you talking about? No one is forcing anyone to “have all genders or races or include trans people”
This you bro?
That's the anti-woke propaganda the text you're quoting is complaining about. If you listen to anyone right wing long enough this is what they'll bring up eventually. it's "fake news" basically -- very dangerous fake news.
Perhaps you misunderstood the poster?
Edit: nope, I did.
No he is misrepresenting what’s going on and telling on himself.
who
1984?
misrepresenting the anti-woke crowd? I think they literally believe that stuff, forced diversity etc.
Edit: nvm, I was wrong.
In what way? I don't even know what "telling on himself" means. I'm just expression my opinion about this. Why is that so upsetting?
yeah, I think there's been a terrible miscommunication somewhere. It might help if you clarify -- do you yourself believe that there is a sizeable contingent of people who want to force games to include all walks of life?
I have no idea. I don't read about games very much and don't follow what's happening. I guess games are like movies, we like to identify with the characters to feel the game is good. Sometimes it's hard if they are very different from us, and then the movie / game is very boring or even annoying.
