This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm honestly surprised that no one calls this game woke

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Because the game sold and reviewed well, so it goes against the narrative of “get woke go broke”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I think literally every business in the world has managed to tow that line. It's not like the right stopped drinking bud light. Although they probably should have.

Nobody except the craziest of crazy thinks negatively about woke stuff if the actual content is good. Examples of good ones from the top of my hat: Arcane S1, Last of Us S1E3, Twin Peaks S3E4.

This is how you actually influence opinions to a good direction.

When the wokeism was apparently more important to the producers than the quality of the actual product is when shit gets irritating and from the pov of activism, counter-productive.

i have only ever heard good things about that show. it apparently brought in a lot of new players (who then promptly left because they realized what the game and community were like).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I never played the game (League of Legends) and the show didn't really make me want to play it. The show (at least season 1, I haven't finished it yet) is still superb.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

oh i read your post as if the show was an example of woke without substance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh okay. No, I meant Arcane as an example of the good ones. Edited my post a bit.

Mainly because you can shove “woke” shit down peoples throats and they won’t care as long as they get to play a manly man or stacked chick and the story and characters are well developed. It’s just when the game is really bad that people care about it and then the studios can blame the poor performance on the alt-right as a cop out for their shitty game. I.e. Star Wars outlaws and Concorde

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

people have been very uppity about the new dragon age even though i hear that's good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Outlaws is a good game though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I feel like people might have. I vaguely remember when it first came out that there was someone on youtube uploading videos of them assaulting the woman's suffrage protester and they got taken down after blowing up.

Anti racism is woke. Arthur actively beats the shit out of or yells at anyone who is racist. Arthur is woke. This is a good thing.

Also, you can murder random Klan members and increase your honour.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

They mean just in general.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yep, there’s a bunch of Klan meets you can happen upon, where every attendee you kill nets you an increase in honour.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Know what I’m doing when i finish dragon age.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I like to start with the dynamite when they're doing the racist Hokey Cokey.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (8 children)

Not sure if satire.

Being not racist is woke now? I thought it was just normal.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

What did you think woke means?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Woke is just things the right don't like. Even if it's just a personal thing like salad.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love comments like this. Reinforces how similar the left and right are.

Right: woke! socialism! communist! = thing they don't like.

Left: racist! bigot! fascist! = thing they don't like.

Two sides of the same coin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Show me the example of a left-wing politician talking about woke.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Have you seen the average gamer responses lately? The needle for woke has now moved to female protagonist = woke unless she's shaped like an anime girl anyway

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

What do you think "woke" means?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Not to say that youre wrong, or to imply that 'woke' is a real concept beyond whatever makes fascist chuds feel bad in their undeveloped brains, but being anti-racist is a lot different than being not racist, and takes a lot more courage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I didn't say not racist. I said anti racist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Always has been

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Tax is woke. The neighbour who fills up my wheely bin is woke. Kids who play music on the bus are woke.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Literally everything mentioned in the 4chan post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I don’t feel that it’s woke. It’s pretty standard for today. Maybe in the 1800s this could be defined as woke

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The bar is extremely low now. Being a decent human being is woke.
