This, exactly this! I always hated the idea of having to be forced into politics or getting into politics but there literally is no possible way to not ingage with it when there are lunatics that force their politics into everything. When everything becomes political, everything becomes dystopian.
The leftists should beware the wrath of the silent men who can no longer tolerate their own silence. When the breaking point is reached for the culture at large, we will officially move into the “find out” part of the equation.
@@logandarklighter Which makes me wonder if that's their desired outcome; push their political enemies to snap at which point they'll use the backlash to paint them as the monsters the Activist been claiming they truly in the eyes of the public, thus finally convince the masses to give them absolute power and yet if this the case this could just easily backfire and instead everyday people turn on them which more likely refuse to perceive due to their ideological bubble.

The reason for my ban in Helldiver 2 is that I said: "I do not care about any other flags than Super Earth, do not add any, because it would be political". Tagged by "trans lives matter" in bio, who called a commisar (moderator), who promtly banned me.
I saw how the devs spoke to players when hellldivers 1 came to steam. I didn't buy a part one, and I knew then I would never buy anything from this company
They don't want Sisters of Battle. They only want female marines and custodes to take from you and dominate their supposed enemies. Edited for spelling.
@@ZachRouge113 You'd think they would have put a little more effort into writing girl custodes into the lore in a more respectful or even interesting way if this was something they cared so much about it. I think this was mainly a corporate decision made to appease certain big investors.

@@AQS521 They got PS2 a long while ago. Then the rainbow crowd moved in, and claimed PS2 as their own, and killed the game's player population, as people left in droves. It truly is a template of subversion. I knew it was going on, but I never understood how they did it till Arch explained it so well.
That’s what they want though. They want to burn down the things we love, the institutions we hold dear. This will allow them to plant their own institutions, their own cultural ideology in the ashes you see. The revolution calls for the entire society to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up in its image.
@mottzilla2 They will cheer you on and laud you the useful idiot to hopefully follow to another community and wash rinse repeat the same thing. Problem is to many buried their heads in the sand when it didn't effect something YOU cared about. Gamers were ignorant to it and as were the fandom communities that have sense been compromised and ultimately destroyed, so too is the gaming industry compromised. Nothing you do will change a thing, boycotts are but a ripple in the pound not a tsunami, everything has been compromised, every industry has followed the same path. It's not going to stop until socialism runs all and we are damn near there, the majority of politicians support socialism, entire industries have been infected and are now controlled by socialist ideology, they are indoctrinating the next generations to its ultimate acceptance, while leaving you no where to be free of it, which is already the case. Capitulation is not the answer, this is literally the time to either stand and fight or die on your knees cause that is where all this is heading. Archcast gave you insight to how socialism is implemented what he didn't cover is it's very high body count that comes with it, that is how socialism works it kills or imprisons any who do not agree with it one way or another. We do not need to share political beliefs to understand that socialism will not distinguish between us as neither of us is conceivably socialists. Why should you give them an inch knowing that inch will never be enough, they will always want more and if you think they won't take it by force a look back at history should educate you on how they accomplished it. If Blackrock alone has trillions in investments in industries ask yourself where di they get the capital for that, cause it wasn't from the day traders or lower to middle class. Now you know why so many celebrities support socialism through "social justice" causes, Why politicians by and large have not stopped the rampant intrusion on rights but limited those rights. Do not go quietly into the dark of night fight, rage, rage against the dark and let you be free of what they wish done.
Every time the woke go for any well-known ip or franchise and then the fandom begins to resist. They act like they're the ones being attacked and then resort to destroying the franchise with the "if I can't have it, no one can have it" mindset.
As you already mentioned, a Pride Flag might as well be a PvP flag in game. People will see pride flags and deliberately target those people, which will further divide the community and just kill the game true and proper. They will either remove the capes, and the people who want them will leave. Or they will ban people for teamkilling, which will lead to mass waves of false reports and everyone will quit. For Helldivers its a Lose-Lose situation if they do add it. And I really highly doubt anyone at Arrowhead does not know this
It all depends on if the devs would intentionally tank the game and the company because they value ideology over money. Seems to be standard practice for most entertainment industries these days.
The division of the fanbase will only be part of it. If pride flags were targeted for team elimination then the Kotakus of the world will use it as a push to involve more government oversight against gamers and the community at large.
It WILL dip as that means the devs failings will never improve, only deepen, but so far it’s the CMs prepping the echo chamber by kicking out any who don’t support their activism. It’ll be a slow boil in the forums the game is bet will remain “neutral”/separate from the current issues for a good few years yet, the CMs are not the devs and the CEO hasn’t shown himself to be an idiot yet. To the contrary he’s reigned in his staff quite well so far (in private as all dressing downs should be), or so it seems. If the game goes downhill it will be long after I have had my moneys worth and it’ll me mostly played out for me as my final act would be to declare myself for democracy until the final log-in.

You can't escape from them, even in fiction. They resent the idea that there is a space they don't control and influence. Even if that space, is in our heads. "You will own nothing, and be happy" "You will see world through our lens, and be just."

Yeah. All woke material is not canon and GW can go to hell if they go this this similar route like star wars. They just can go to hell. I won't give them any money starting today and keep it that way if they go this route. I enjoy real wh40k and older books and they can''t do anything to ruin that.

I HATE the everything is political. I swear we have gone full circle. Many niche interest/fan groups formed because the larger population ridiculing them. Now it seems like anytime more than two people enjoy a thing, the horde seeks to subvert it and force out the people who originally enjoyed the thing.
It doesn't seem that way... It IS that way, and it's that way, cuz the woke ideology cannot exist in a state of coexistence. It HAS to subvert everything around it. When people call it the woke "mind virus", it's a virus in more ways than one. It truly behaves like a virus. It's kinda wild.
But we need the wider audience, how dare you not include everyone in (insert media/hobby/fandom here). How dare you have a small group of like minded people wanting to enjoy something without thinking of all the people you are excluding with your horrible prejudice, and not writing in OUR politics and not making skin colour and gender identity the most important thing above all else!........ I'm sorry I came over all activisty there, please carry on and go about your day.
The tragedy isnt that everything is political, the tragedy is that not everything needed to be. It is beyond apparent that a certain vein of politics cannot but help make everything they interact with political, to perserve society from rampant proselytizing it falls to become political to reject the politicization.
Meh, I despise the commies, but they're right on this. Culture is the byproduct of society and society is the byproduct of her own policies. It's just that most normies are too naive to grasp how power works.
Who are we supposed to gate keep from? Democrat voters? What if you are not from the US? Non-chritians? The average christian leader is like Matt Walsh who literally stated that anime is satanic and gaming is a waste of time. It's stupid to expect christians to tolerate something like WH40K. Gate keep from Women? This is, hilariously enough, probably the most effective suggestion but, there are many nice women that actually like WH40K as it is, do you really want to exclude them? The problem isn't that GW is retconning custodes. The problem is that Blackrock/Vanguard have more say in WH40K than the actual fans. Unironically, the problem is the 1% becoming our shadowy ruling class. This is one thing Jordan Peterson gets very wrong about economic politics. He thinks the only reason people hate the rich is envy, or laziness, when the real reason is that the utra-rich are subverting governments and bypassing human rights, legally.
Prediction: within a year or three, GW will decide to reveal the two lost and unknown Primarchs and they will not be "one of the boys" so to speak. Hope i'm wrong.
possibility of that happening is 60-70% overall your not wrong for considering such things to happen since escapism is heavily targeted by these freaks.
That's the only "lore friendly" way to get fem-marines remember they managed to add that "admech and cawl hid tens of thousands of super space Marines for thousands of years only to join the fight now!" Who wants to bet that when terra is attacked or one of the primarchs is gonna die that thousands of female astartes save the day, unleashed from stasis
If everything is political, and the personal is political, then my stance of "leave me alone and i wont meaningfully object to what you do in your life" changes to "eradicate the leftist position and never allow them to take an inch for anything they suggest."
Arch at this point its time for our own Kreig moment. The autarchs have decided that 2 or 3 palaces arent wnough, they need their wealth. So let the Fandom become colonel Yurten and rally up somewhere, and hit the launch button. All that button will do is close our wallets, but the hellfire in GW as sales crash dive into the ground at reentry speeds. The few autarchs surviving this mear total GW exterminatus will either get the point across, or if they again doubledown, we can just use older free PDFs, use our 3d printers, and cut GW out of the game entirely.
@theark4568 politics wasn't forced into a game. If you missed how helldivers was political satire or how 40k depicts totalitarian rule, then I'm not surprised that you see anything you don't like being included as politics.
I just went into the more obscure hobbies where the eye of sauron cannot see. Then began scrutiny of lore, and gatekeeping newbies. I don't advertise it, I only judge... Harshly!
I htink we have no choice but to lean towards the right wing to survive right now. We cant just say we want political free hobbies because when whe do that the left comes and take it. This is not just an American or European thing. I'm from Brazil and the same tactics and methods of the left are used here. I think now it's a question of survival, either we fight on all fronts, even in our hobbies, or we will become extinct.
I take your point, but my worldview is firmly routed. The world shifts around me, so my left-leaning centrist views are now considered far-right, but I refuse to let them influence my reaction.
The first victim of Socialist subversion is always the culture. This is why we should reject 'Everything is Political' with vehement force because the truth is, not everything is political before the subversion. Monogamy is cultural. Throughout history the family unit has been cultural and natural. Every being seeks to pass on it's genes to the next generation. Rule of Law is supposed to be above politics and neutral to ideology. In a better word: fair. However, you are right also, because western society and the cultures has been subverted, meaning "everything is political" by the standards of the Neo Marxists. So I propose a new way to start: 'Not everything should be political.' or 'Creativity should be free.' as a starting point.
Hauling the concept of collective honor up a few pegs raises the bar high enough that the schmucks start bouncing off. One has to get creative from there, though.
Like every entertainement WH40K depend on small things. Female Custodes are just first step to introduce in setting things which break lore setting. WH40K is build on only one thing on its LORE, painting of figures dont make sence if you dont some final image in mind, game battles mean nothing if you cant lore play them and literaly LARP as commander of your force fighting with enemy described in lore. Lore set standart for everything and form people imagination of character in stories. Lore in WH is everything, its basic building block which made everything else arround WH possible and when GW fall in temptation to change it once it will fall again and again and things will never be same.
@@reignick1133 You people keep saying that. The game has microtransactions which they could use to get more money, and it’d hurt Arrowhead’s future products, so yes, it’d still Hirt them none the less.

Eastern European here. I was always dumbfounded about popularity of communism ideas in the West, since those of us who had to endure it completely hated it. The idea I am supposed to embrace it again, this time from West instead from East.... nope, hard pass. If leftist westerners wanna ruin their life and future, go ahead, but you have no right to make that choice for the rest of us. Also, I am no fan of Trump or Putin. But I understand why they got more fans worldwide in the last few years. Honestly, if leftist could keep their politics for themselves and not forcefully try to baptize us at every opportunity, extreme right would have far less fans and would be seen just as silly extremists.
Many in the west are not old enough to remember/have learnt the lessons eastern europe paid for over decades. I'm a huge proponent of helicopter rides for communists myself
As a Westerner, I noticed the people that “champion” communism are either rich, academics, massive losers with no influence, or a combination of them. They understand the system is corrupt but don’t know why and read what the theory is on paper and say, “THATS how we solve the problem.” But when presented with actual facts that proves that the current system is actually the superior one, they are either too stupid to understand the data OR are such raging egomaniacs that they can’t admit that they are wrong.

It's crazy that we live in a world, that those 2 companies have trillions of dollars, enough to prop up most major corporations for enough years to ensure they don't have to rely on their customers for revenue, so that they can assist in the destruction of the western world. What a simultaneously shitty and amazing time to be alive.
I feel like if they arrowhead allows rainbow capes, players that decide to wear those rainbow capes are going to experience abnormally high friendly fire incidents.
Arrowhead should allow workshops aka mods in there especially the cosmetics ones to settle the dispute that way players can sort out the mod users for there games
I think it's the other way around. Most games I've seen where people with alphabet representation usually are THE tk'ers and trolls. They make every match they are in worse. Deliberately sabotaging every player interaction you can have. They also love reporting people who get mad because of it.
The moment that Helldivers: 2 bends the knee to the DEI Invasion, either two results will happen: -People will leave en masse, frustrated that the infestation continues to follow them and will only stick with beloved game classics as they look forward to the inevitable gaming crash. -Those who stick around and see other Divers wearing those Pride capes will simply give them the only remedy they can: “Nah I’d ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️”
Friendly fire is on and I await the day those who perform the second option have their choice to play revoked when the ones in charge bans them for doing so.

disagree. shit and lazy games are shit regardless of "wokeness" or not. like suicide squad. it's not bad because it's woke, it's bad because it's a garbage and lazy game with lazier writing and pandering. good games can be woke, they just have to actually be good. like bg3, ostensibly a very woke game and yet it's fucking awesome, not because or in spite of the woke but because the devs actually care about it.

@@rice9224 The writing in BG3 is trash.

It's not possible to even try and make the tieflings leave the druid's grove peacefully. The tiefling leader just immediately attacks you when you tell him the druid lady says they need to leave. There's no option to even *attempt* diplomacy. And all this, and much more, is still only the first chapter.
@@AliceGorgonia I'm not gonna pretend the writing was perfect - it's a game, so of course there's going to be missed choices and railroading. You can't account for everything. And some things, like instantly ending the game in act one via a demon, are cut for plot. But for the most part, I still believe that the game is great My point is, wokeness didn't make the game better or worse, the game is what it is (mostly) independent of whether or not men can romance men. People are too quick to use wokeness as a scapegoat for all gaming troubles, when in reality lazy writing/game design is what's killing stuff. Likewise, the left is too quick to cry "bigot!" and "homophobe!" when people disagree with anything.
@@rice9224 Sorry. but I like to play a game that doesn't preach to me that I should think a certain way. I am capable of doing that without the need to buy a game to tell me. Just as the recent debacle of Google's AI shows, this isn't about producing a good product, it is about pushing an agenda. Being a good game is not a "get out of jail free card". No one would say, "oh it doesn't matter if the game had an overtly homophobic/racist agenda, just look how good the game is." These are Fantasy/Sci-Fi games where real-world politics have no place. Make a game based on the real world and put those woke ideas in it, see how quickly it would crash and burn.

They went after Marvel They went after DC They went after Star Wars They went after Lord of the Rings They went after *Wheel of Time* Why does everything I like have to be made ultra political? The only bright spot is the fact that it doesn't really matter how crazy they try to make it, they can't fully ruin D&D because it's inherently designed for homebrew and individual creation, rather than completely relying on the controlling company for its lore. Wizards of the Coast continues to make stupid decisions and go crazy? I already have the rulebooks and all the free information online I could ever need to play D&D until the day that I die. Not to mention hundreds of other high-quality TTRPGs out there from independent companies.
what gets me the most about this is that we all know GW does not give a F about female representation. I've been a Custodes/SOS fan for years. GW has never give an opportunity to the SOS to shine. The only book I can think of where the SOS are the protagonist, and not just a background character is the series "Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion" , and that has only two books. They much rather get woke points than to actually give strong women and opportunity.
To sum up intersectional identitarians thought: It's not about empowering the victims but to tear down the accused offender. Marxism: Destroy the rich instead of improving the lives of the poor. Race: Destroy hwiteness instead of improving the lives of the minorities. Feminism: Destroy men... Sex: Destroy heteronormity...
Just remember if they DO add pride capes to Helldivers 2 that we can assert the orange and black of the Super Straight flag was in there before any others.
If we can have female Custodes, can we have men join the Sisters of Battle? I mean, if we want equality, why should only mortal *women* be given power armor and other high quality equipment. Why not mortal *men?* Oh right, there's an in-universe explanation for it. Just like how there's an in-universe reason behind male Custodes and male Space Marines.
Something that’s bothered me to no end, yet I’ve never been able to find the words to describe it until now, is how there is a bunch of people that get annoyed with politics in everything… or being shoehorned into everything. Now don’t get me wrong, ideally I’d love to keep real world politics out of some stuff, but realistically it is impossible. I have now found the best way to describe what I mean, I realize that it is the exact same with libertarianism. You can be a pacifist, you can be libertarian, you can choose to try and avoid politics in games… However, there will ALWAYS be people that want the exact opposite, and they don’t care how much of a pacifist or libertarian or anti-politics you are. They will not hesitate to walk all over you. They don’t care that you don’t want politics, to them it means less competition so they can shove their politics and ideology in. Even if you choose to not vote, and are a live and let live kind of person saying “as long as they let me do me”…. Any tyrant will see that as a prime opportunity to walk all over you which is why inherently libertarianism is a fallacy as well as pacifism. Take the German invasion of Poland for example. Sure you could point to Switzerland…. Yes Switzerland had declared their neutrality, they did not choose to be a pacifist. They understood that any tyrant could just walk all over them if they did. So they conscripted all of their citizens, put explosives in all of their bridges, put artillery bunkers in all of their hillsides. They chose to stand for what they believe in and would quite literally die on that hill while taking as many invaders with them as they could. In the end, the point I am trying to get at is that being anti-politics, and even libertarian and pacifist (not necessarily all at once) is inherently flawed because it is based on the merit that everyone else thinks the exact same way.
Really hoping the Helldivers devs stay away from it all. Time will tell but that's sadly always a metric we have to watch. This CM is definitely a red flag.
Step 1: "We're not changing the lore."
Step 2: " We're changing the lore, and it's a good thing."
Step 3: "The lore was always like this."
Step 0: "We'll never change the lore."
Step 4: "You never understood the lore"
@@guillermoelnino I'm gonna disagree with that one. As the people who love the lore and don't want it to change would also say that.
Step 0 is "your hobby should be more inclusive".

That’s what they want though. They want to burn down the things we love, the institutions we hold dear. This will allow them to plant their own institutions, their own cultural ideology in the ashes you see. The revolution calls for the entire society to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up in its image.
Based.
@mottzilla2 They will cheer you on and laud you the useful idiot to hopefully follow to another community and wash rinse repeat the same thing. Problem is to many buried their heads in the sand when it didn't effect something YOU cared about. Gamers were ignorant to it and as were the fandom communities that have sense been compromised and ultimately destroyed, so too is the gaming industry compromised. Nothing you do will change a thing, boycotts are but a ripple in the pound not a tsunami, everything has been compromised, every industry has followed the same path. It's not going to stop until socialism runs all and we are damn near there, the majority of politicians support socialism, entire industries have been infected and are now controlled by socialist ideology, they are indoctrinating the next generations to its ultimate acceptance, while leaving you no where to be free of it, which is already the case. Capitulation is not the answer, this is literally the time to either stand and fight or die on your knees cause that is where all this is heading. Archcast gave you insight to how socialism is implemented what he didn't cover is it's very high body count that comes with it, that is how socialism works it kills or imprisons any who do not agree with it one way or another. We do not need to share political beliefs to understand that socialism will not distinguish between us as neither of us is conceivably socialists. Why should you give them an inch knowing that inch will never be enough, they will always want more and if you think they won't take it by force a look back at history should educate you on how they accomplished it. If Blackrock alone has trillions in investments in industries ask yourself where di they get the capital for that, cause it wasn't from the day traders or lower to middle class. Now you know why so many celebrities support socialism through "social justice" causes, Why politicians by and large have not stopped the rampant intrusion on rights but limited those rights. Do not go quietly into the dark of night fight, rage, rage against the dark and let you be free of what they wish done.

As you already mentioned, a Pride Flag might as well be a PvP flag in game. People will see pride flags and deliberately target those people, which will further divide the community and just kill the game true and proper. They will either remove the capes, and the people who want them will leave. Or they will ban people for teamkilling, which will lead to mass waves of false reports and everyone will quit. For Helldivers its a Lose-Lose situation if they do add it. And I really highly doubt anyone at Arrowhead does not know this
It all depends on if the devs would intentionally tank the game and the company because they value ideology over money. Seems to be standard practice for most entertainment industries these days.
The division of the fanbase will only be part of it. If pride flags were targeted for team elimination then the Kotakus of the world will use it as a push to involve more government oversight against gamers and the community at large.

Who are we supposed to gate keep from? Democrat voters? What if you are not from the US? Non-chritians?

Gate keep from Women? This is, hilariously enough, probably the most effective suggestion but, there are many nice women that actually like WH40K as it is, do you really want to exclude them?
The problem isn't that GW is retconning custodes. The problem is that Blackrock/Vanguard have more say in WH40K than the actual fans. Unironically, the problem is the 1% becoming our shadowy ruling class. This is one thing Jordan Peterson gets very wrong about economic politics.

Welcome to reality. The Enlightenment was a lie.
The first victim of Socialist subversion is always the culture. This is why we should reject 'Everything is Political' with vehement force because the truth is, not everything is political before the subversion. Monogamy is cultural. Throughout history the family unit has been cultural and natural. Every being seeks to pass on it's genes to the next generation. Rule of Law is supposed to be above politics and neutral to ideology. In a better word: fair.
However, you are right also, because western society and the cultures has been subverted, meaning "everything is political" by the standards of the Neo Marxists.
So I propose a new way to start: 'Not everything should be political.' or 'Creativity should be free.' as a starting point.

Eastern European here. I was always dumbfounded about popularity of communism ideas in the West, since those of us who had to endure it completely hated it. The idea I am supposed to embrace it again, this time from West instead from East.... nope, hard pass. If leftist westerners wanna ruin their life and future, go ahead, but you have no right to make that choice for the rest of us.
Also, I am no fan of Trump or Putin. But I understand why they got more fans worldwide in the last few years. Honestly, if leftist could keep their politics for themselves and not forcefully try to baptize us at every opportunity, extreme right would have far less fans and would be seen just as silly extremists.
We don't care
Many in the west are not old enough to remember/have learnt the lessons eastern europe paid for over decades.
I'm a huge proponent of helicopter rides for communists myself
You call us extreme right. But we’d be normal people if this was back in 2000
As a Westerner, I noticed the people that “champion” communism are either rich, academics, massive losers with no influence, or a combination of them.
They understand the system is corrupt but don’t know why and read what the theory is on paper and say, “THATS how we solve the problem.” But when presented with actual facts that proves that the current system is actually the superior one, they are either too stupid to understand the data OR are such raging egomaniacs that they can’t admit that they are wrong.
Neither Trump or Putin are "extreme right".

@@NG-gy6iv sure
I think it's the other way around. Most games I've seen where people with alphabet representation usually are THE tk'ers and trolls. They make every match they are in worse. Deliberately sabotaging every player interaction you can have. They also love reporting people who get mad because of it.
@NG-gy6iv

The moment that Helldivers: 2 bends the knee to the DEI Invasion, either two results will happen:
-People will leave en masse, frustrated that the infestation continues to follow them and will only stick with beloved game classics as they look forward to the inevitable gaming crash.
-Those who stick around and see other Divers wearing those Pride capes will simply give them the only remedy they can: “Nah I’d ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️”
Friendly fire is on and I await the day those who perform the second option have their choice to play revoked when the ones in charge bans them for doing so.

disagree. shit and lazy games are shit regardless of "wokeness" or not. like suicide squad. it's not bad because it's woke, it's bad because it's a garbage and lazy game with lazier writing and pandering.
good games can be woke, they just have to actually be good. like bg3, ostensibly a very woke game and yet it's fucking awesome, not because or in spite of the woke but because the devs actually care about it.

@@rice9224Why would a totalitarian fash govt like super earth allow another flag like pride? It doesn't help kids be born for the war effort.

@@akaroth7542 it's not that crazy. i don't disagree that it is kind of out of place, but you can definitely make an argument that democracy and liberty include freedom of sexuality, even if actually acting on that sexuality is a legal process.
I feel like it would be very in character for super earth to do performative activism, like pretending to care about that stuff.
my point is, it's not that big of a deal. for what really is a minor concession of "escapism," you make a lot of people happy.
admittedly you upset another crowd of people who can't accept that "the enemy" is winning. (they got a fucking flag).
@@rice9224 ...it's not a (managed) democracy and it's not offering liberty. Super Earth uses those as buzzwords 0_o Going by the govs in real Earth's history that it parodies= there is no lgbtq movements or initiatives on Super Earth since that distracts people from their duty of family and (multiple) children.
@@akaroth7542 idk, i feel like making a pride flag and a couple propaganda videos is a great way to keep the masses satisfied and happy without actually doing anything.

Hope that this backfires and GW shits the bed and managed democracy remains the only ideology in Helldivers

Everything they try to make includes Villains who act as Heroes should. So I can understand shrugging and saying "From your viewpoint." to the accusation. After all, they are the ones claiming morality is relative, so the only 'defense' they have is hypocrisy.

i really wish people could recognize that wokeness doesn't automatically make a game good or bad. shit games are shit regardless of woke, like suicide squad can go eat shit. but good games, like bg3, are good completely independent of "being woke."
@@rice9224 The writing in BG3 is trash. Some quick examples:
The beta had an option in the dialogue to attack the vampire twink after he attacks you, but they removed it in the release version to force you to sit through all his dialogue trying to make you like him.
The demon who offers to remove the vile disgusting parasite from your brain will outright refuse to do it if you agree, because they don't care about meaningful choices, just the appearance of them.
It's not possible to even try and make the tieflings leave the druid's grove peacefully. The tiefling leader just immediately attacks you when you tell him the druid lady says they need to leave. There's no option to even *attempt* diplomacy.
And all this, and much more, is still only the first chapter.
@@AliceGorgonia I'm not gonna pretend the writing was perfect - it's a game, so of course there's going to be missed choices and railroading. You can't account for everything. And some things, like instantly ending the game in act one via a demon, are cut for plot. But for the most part, I still believe that the game is great
My point is, wokeness didn't make the game better or worse, the game is what it is (mostly) independent of whether or not men can romance men.
People are too quick to use wokeness as a scapegoat for all gaming troubles, when in reality lazy writing/game design is what's killing stuff. Likewise, the left is too quick to cry "bigot!" and "homophobe!" when people disagree with anything.
@@rice9224
Sorry. but I like to play a game that doesn't preach to me that I should think a certain way. I am capable of doing that without the need to buy a game to tell me.
Just as the recent debacle of Google's AI shows, this isn't about producing a good product, it is about pushing an agenda.
Being a good game is not a
"get out of jail free card".
No one would say, "oh it doesn't matter if the game had an overtly homophobic/racist agenda, just look how good the game is."
These are Fantasy/Sci-Fi games where real-world politics have no place.
Make a game based on the real world and put those woke ideas in it, see how quickly it would crash and burn.

Captain Titus: I am no heretic.
Space Marine: You lie! Only an agent of Chaor could withstand Warp exposure.
Captain Titus: I sent the daemon to oblivion.
Inquisitor Thrax: But did you have unholy assistance? We must know. You will submit to my authority, Captain.
Or the inquisition must conclude that you have corrupted every Ultramarine under your command, not to mention those who stand at your side.
Lieutenant Mira: Ignore his threats. Come on.
Captain Titus: The inquisition will destroy you, Mira. And the Ultramarines will be forever dishonoured.
Leave my brothers - and the Lieutenant - alone. I will come with you. I don’t know why I can resist the touch of Chaos, but I swear I will discover the truth.
Inquisitor Thrax: We will discover many truths, Space Marine
Space Marine: The Codex Astartes leaves no room for doubt: You cannot touch the Warp and emerge unscathed.
Captain Titus: The Codex Astartes is a set of rules. They guide us, shape us as Ultramarines, teach us to hold duty and honour sacred above all. But how we live with those rules is the true test of a Space Marine. And you have failed.

Why does everything I like have to be made ultra political?
The only bright spot is the fact that it doesn't really matter how crazy they try to make it, they can't fully ruin D&D because it's inherently designed for homebrew and individual creation, rather than completely relying on the controlling company for its lore.
Wizards of the Coast continues to make stupid decisions and go crazy? I already have the rulebooks and all the free information online I could ever need to play D&D until the day that I die. Not to mention hundreds of other high-quality TTRPGs out there from independent companies.
what gets me the most about this is that we all know GW does not give a F about female representation. I've been a Custodes/SOS fan for years. GW has never give an opportunity to the SOS to shine. The only book I can think of where the SOS are the protagonist, and not just a background character is the series "Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion" , and that has only two books. They much rather get woke points than to actually give strong women and opportunity.
To sum up intersectional identitarians thought:
It's not about empowering the victims but to tear down the accused offender.
Marxism: Destroy the rich instead of improving the lives of the poor.
Race: Destroy hwiteness instead of improving the lives of the minorities.
Feminism: Destroy men...
Sex: Destroy heteronormity...
Well yeah, sisters of silence suck. The'yre useless normal humans who aren't even allowed to talk
remember, flame throwers and incendiary to get rid of the pride capes. flamers for the flamers.
So you are a toxic asshole? The game doesn't need you.

Just remember if they DO add pride capes to Helldivers 2 that we can assert the orange and black of the Super Straight flag was in there before any others.
I'm holding off on 40k books minis and random 40k items. 40k isn't getting more of my money.
If we can have female Custodes, can we have men join the Sisters of Battle? I mean, if we want equality, why should only mortal *women* be given power armor and other high quality equipment. Why not mortal *men?*
Oh right, there's an in-universe explanation for it. Just like how there's an in-universe reason behind male Custodes and male Space Marines.
Sure. If that's the trade for women being allowed to be cool in the setting, so be it.
Something that’s bothered me to no end, yet I’ve never been able to find the words to describe it until now, is how there is a bunch of people that get annoyed with politics in everything… or being shoehorned into everything. Now don’t get me wrong, ideally I’d love to keep real world politics out of some stuff, but realistically it is impossible. I have now found the best way to describe what I mean, I realize that it is the exact same with libertarianism.
You can be a pacifist, you can be libertarian, you can choose to try and avoid politics in games… However, there will ALWAYS be people that want the exact opposite, and they don’t care how much of a pacifist or libertarian or anti-politics you are. They will not hesitate to walk all over you. They don’t care that you don’t want politics, to them it means less competition so they can shove their politics and ideology in. Even if you choose to not vote, and are a live and let live kind of person saying “as long as they let me do me”…. Any tyrant will see that as a prime opportunity to walk all over you which is why inherently libertarianism is a fallacy as well as pacifism.
Take the German invasion of Poland for example. Sure you could point to Switzerland…. Yes Switzerland had declared their neutrality, they did not choose to be a pacifist. They understood that any tyrant could just walk all over them if they did. So they conscripted all of their citizens, put explosives in all of their bridges, put artillery bunkers in all of their hillsides. They chose to stand for what they believe in and would quite literally die on that hill while taking as many invaders with them as they could.
In the end, the point I am trying to get at is that being anti-politics, and even libertarian and pacifist (not necessarily all at once) is inherently flawed because it is based on the merit that everyone else thinks the exact same way.
