since a bunch of people have asked, I got my overalls from InControl Clothing! I’m not sure if I’d recommend buying from them though because it’s nearly impossible to contact them and I basically had to harass them to finally ship my order after like 6 months (estimated time was 4 weeks max). it’s a shame cause they sell some really cute stuff, but maybe you’ll have better luck with them than I did lol I also have a step by step on how I made this wig available on my Patreon 🤙🏾
I'm not american so I'm not in quite the same loop, but I had NEVER heard the phrase DEI until it started cropping up like this. Had it ever had a relatively neutral usage, or was it a day one dogwhistle?
@@storageheater no, it was just a phrase used in the 60s civil rights movement to encourage or remind the corporate world to not forget about black people when filling out their workforce. Much like "woke" it was a good thing till it became the religious right's Boogeyman.
along with the "there are too many female warriors, this is unrealistic" in medieval games, meanwhile you can cleave 4 people in half with one axe swing. also i think vikings have been known to be multiracial. dont think they were concerned about gatekeeping color or eugenics back then, especially not in a world where the need to repopulate was a reoccuring problem. read one book from a historian who wrote about the trade and trade routes of the north who was real upset about this misconception and dedicated a whole chapter to it
Historically, the Vikings roved all across the Mediterranean, to the point where the Byzantine nobles routinely employed them as bodyguards. I'm pretty certain there were at least some black people coming to Scandanavia, willingly or not. Heck, there's evidence that there were black people living in Roman Britain.
@@Littlevampiregirl100 Correct, the concept of "race" is something that originated in the recent past. Before the 15th century there wasn't a word for it and the concept and meaning of today came even later into existence[1]. Wow and let's not talk about nation-states or nationalism. There are even people still alive, not direct contemporary witnesses, but whose grandparents grew up at a time when the concepts of civic and ethnic nationalism were coined. Well, what do you expect from religious fanatics and political extremists who do not even know the contents of their own "holy" book and who freely and arbitrarily "reinvent" their morality according to their daily needs? [1] Who would've guessed it, in the form of "Rass" a former term for certain clergymen, which was later then used as a derogatory term against Jews. These are simply the proud "achievements" of the Catholic Church!
@@dieSpinnt its almost endearing that we havent been hyperfocused on skin color in all that time. and concerning that the past records keep proving that modern brains are not an improvement, but rotten in comparison
We’re already attached to our devices…if they can share those opinions (or access the content to outrage themselves in the first place) then they’ve already transed their own humanism with the rest of us 🙄😂🤡
It's weirdly a common point of outrage in right wing nut circles. Something about "the left trying to take away our humanity" or whatever, despite it really not being that deep. Like their obsession about it it really feels like it came out of left field.
Apparently EURO TRUCK SIM is woke because you can hire female drivers who “don’t have a clear disadvantage compared to male drivers”, you can’t even make this up
I was just DYING laughing at a bunch of the top entries. Truck Sims. Farming Simulator. Freaking actual macho-er-than-macho toxic masculinity boom-boom-shooty series itself, CALL OF FREAKING DUTY. The sad thing is, things have been SO far over the top for so long, now, that I _literally_ can't tell satire from actual opinions unless I actually know the person saying it. Overexaggeration as a way of automatically signalling "I'M JOKING" isn't a thing anymore. Subtlety is DEAD, yo. It's dead, been zombiefied, shot through the head, and burned.
FOR REAL!!! when i looked at this list for laughs like a month or so ago, i saw the entry for deltarune and i was like "FINALLY!!!!" you'd think that in a predominantly queer fandom it wouldnt be hard to find people correctly refer to Kris with they, but apparently not. even on the ao3 tag it can be a bit hard to find fanfics that use they for Kris (they're my favorite character so it just leaves me like " :( " )
Which is really weird because they INSIST to the point of sending death threats that Chara and Frisk are NB, when Toby has never said so and has in fact said the opposite (but a Tumblr post said he did so it must be true!!) Yet they keep misgendering the ACTUAL NB character.
@RosePosiepuddingpie The ones I saw saying Kris aren't NB are the ones that say Frisk and Chara's gender are chosen by the player (Personally, I think that since Undertale and Deltarune are very queerfriendly, both Chara, Kris and Frisk are NB)
Them not knowing whether Disco Elysium is pro or anti communist is what gave me the final piece of the puzzle considering the difference between informed and not recommended. It’s about obviousness. Most of them don’t think about what they see on screen, how the game might make metaphors and parallels with real world issue, or how it might bring humor and laugh at its own ideas. That’s why they think FF VII is subtle pro-ecological messaging: it’s because they didn’t call it fossil fuel, and because the consequence wasn’t climate change.
I came to check if someone had the same sentiment. Raft is labeled as not woke regards to climate change on their list but as far as I remember that game references it? It also is a game about floating in a world where the polar ice caps have melted. The reasoning for the ice caps melting may not have been 1:1 but the game doesn't feel subtle to me with what it's about.
I get your point but it's also a casually pro-monarchy (like a lot of simple stories) game where you run through a corpse filled warzone to have the rightful ruler magically fix things. That's actual canon, the levels are made up of Mushroom Kingdom citizens transformed by the Invading King Koopa and you need to rescue the Princess cause she's magic and is the only way to undo the spell.
"the player is a fat guy who can somehow deep dive and swim long distances without trouble" tell me you don't swim without telling me you don't swim lmao these people never see direct sunlight I stg
@@king_poyo64I mentally corrected your little typo the wrong way, and was like "huh? Why would a gay guy have trouble gathering treasure??" then I saw the Wario part and was like "oh"
We can't accept fat people be physically fit in a video game. How unrealistic. Now let me play my game where a character can be shot at, punched in the face and tank an explosion at point blank range and be okay when consuming a medkit or eating something or wounds just magically disappear by standing still for a while.
the fact they mentioned until dawn having black and asian characters as if it was triggering shocks me, like, i thought they would at least try to mask some of their true beliefs
I thought they could be trolling, but then I remembered this is the internet, where people think they can make abhorrent statements and can get away, shielded behind a screen and keyboard.
Just checked the list. It says it's flagged for having a black-asian couple, not that those characters exist. It's hilarious that it links to a study that finds that less than 2% of interracial marriages are black-asian, therefore they must never be portrayed? It both surprises me and doesn't surprise me that they'd be against interracial relationships
@@theshire9173 In what world are most stories about things that happen the majority of the time anyways. They should make a movie of me going to work everyday. That's what most people do.
the fact that those people get out of their homes (sometimes) and you can see them out there and physically be next to them for a moment, is totally horifying.
theyre upset over a fat diver but like. dude it's cold down there. i dont know how skinny people dive it sounds like a nightmare for anyone Not built like a seal
Also if you ever actually go outside and join any outdoorsy clubs to do ANYTHING you'll learn that... A lot of them are fat? And old? Like yeah most rock climbers I know are skinny but I've gone hiking, caving, whitewater kayaking, etc and for ALL of those I've seen a lot of fat people excel. You go out into the woods for 10hrs with a fat 60yo woman and soon learn how little that matters when you're keeled over panting and she's still talking like it's a light walk in the park. I learned caving from a bunch of fat old people who still excelled because they knew how to squish through passages easily. Skill matters way more than body weight in many outdoors activities, and in some cases being fat is actually either advantageous or entirely irrelevant. For example, SCUBA diving funnily enough. The difficulty of activity while fat is that walking/running hurts your joints a lot more when you're fat and anything fast paced will jiggle you uncomfortably. SCUBA though? It's just extreme swimming, and swimming is the perfect activity when you're fat because it doesn't put any extra pressure on your joints and there's no jiggling.
@@molluscumlore as anecdotal evidence, me and my wife are equal levels of chonky. We both get out of breath walking up a flight of stairs. However, while on holiday I was happily powering up a massive hill while she needed to keep stopping to recover. Being fat is only loosely connected to how physically capable you are
They're over the top always, and have absolutely no Fs to give, hell there's an option to fire Claptrap out of a cannon in BL2 and I doubt anyone has not done it unless they wanted the achievement because he's so damn annoying.
I have a friend who is a marine biologist. She is fat. She is also capable of diving on the open ocean and is one of the two only people who are qualified to monitor and study sharks on the region. Fat people can definitely dive. Also, a lot of swimming mammals are fat and blubbery because fat helps you with buoyancy and thermoregulation and shit. It doesn’t really help for Olympic speed swimming, but it certainly helps when diving.
In 1993 you could ftp the Stanford server to play a text-based MUD (multi-user dungeon). The choices for sex were M, F, none, and androgynous. I don’t recall hermaphroditic as an option, and don’t remember if intersex was an option or lumped into “androgynous.” I was a high school student in the buckle of the Bible Belt at the time. None of my friends warned me about this WOKENESS, because we had no such concept. Regardless of their nascent political and/or religious views NO ONE CARED about a couple extra character options - except for those of us who wanted to play an androgynous squid. We were stoked.
"Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. The female player character is a Pict warrior who takes on Norsemen and Norse gods in melee combat. There is no historical evidence of female Pict warriors." for hellblade senuas sacrifice.... the celtic god(or rather goddess) of war is LITERALLY a woman (morrigan btw) or.. if you wanna go by nordic faith.. fatherfucking valkyries... you cant tell me that there were no female fighters among either of those
This one gets me bc there's actually quite a bit of archeological/historical evidence for female warriors, hunters, etc. in Pictish, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and Norse societies. Even for the Picts, who have the fewest surviving artifacts to work from, I didn't have to look very hard to find mentions of monument stones depicting female warriors.
@@kindofabigtielyeah drives me barmy as someone that studies myth and legend along with history. The GoY BS had me ranting at my sister about the fact one of the early empresses of Japan invaded Korea and may well have been directly involved in the conflict versus more recent imperial behaviour, their history especially at the time of Yotei is not lacking in strong women recorded in period accounts. They must hate the Musou (Dynasty/Samurai Warriors, Orochi etc) games for how many of the women are outright scarily strong enough their companions are aghast at their self deprecation.
The binary is clear! It's either all bug or all snack. How dare they not be exactly one or the other!!!! that is almost certainly the logic but less coherently worded lmao
By the way I find it funny that they only had a problem with floofty when both gay and lesbian relationships are featured heavily throughout the game with candlo and snorpy and eggabell and elizabert
@@kyrazz128Yeah, either its mostly random cheap hentai games, or its got genuinely good games of various genres... but either they have black people, women in big roles, or you can just be gay.
Please I'm begging game devs, make a game that is called "Wake Up" and it's a game that's so cartoonishly "woke" "SJW" that it might give these conservatives a stroke, like make the gameplay and tone like Lollipop Chainsaw. Like fully lean into the absurdity and trigger them like they think they would "the big left" and make it FUN
I've never played Lollipop Chainsaw Does this mean make the genre the same with the same mechanics or am I just being dumb again Asking for a me. Because I want to do that. It'd be hilarious.

I'm surprised You didn't mention the absolute best - Overcooked listed as "subtle pro-DEI messaging". For what You might ask? "One of the playable characters is a wheelchair-bound raccoon."
I was honestly baffled by the complaints that the Saints Row reboot was "too woke" and "too pro-LGBT". Like... did y'all even PLAY the fourth game? Where the Saints end up as a polycule in space who are ALL sleeping with the boss, including the robot?
They got so mad the fourth one existed that they yeeted it out of their collective memory. Meanwhile I got into Saints Row from IV and I was so disappointed that they rebooted the whole thing, I wanted to know what the polycule in space with WHAT IS LOVE BABY DON'T HURT ME would do. :(
Like even the OG saints game was 'woke'. Hell, their beloved SR2, the fan favorite, is the one that let you play AS A WOMAN! Also? We had a black/Asian relationship in that one, why aren't they REEEEEing like they did with until dawn?
@@RosePosiepuddingpie, their thought process is full of blatant contradictions to suit their wants and needs. To me, it feels like they're babies having a tantrum over any "DEI" except when they have a personal attachment to a specific game. They can't see past overt messaging and fail to understand sarcasm
SR2 also had no Fs to give about how you dressed, enjoy your pantyhose boss, and beating enemies into orbit with a dildo is something they should have brought back for the reboot. The amount of freedom it had is part of why I enjoyed the series way more than GTA, it's a bit silly on the surface but it was solid and engaging always.
I remember doomscrooling through their reviews once to giggle at the bs they would say abt my favorite games and once I stumbled upon Spyro The Reignited Trilogy being labeled as "not woke" slammed my desk, pointed at my screen and verbally said "BULLSHIT there are LESBIANS IN THE SECOND GAME" Suffice to say they're not good at their jobs and are in fact very very sad lmao
I love these lists because they're funny, but I also hate them because it causes the chuds who actually use these lists to review bomb the "woke" games
Im in tears its so hilarious how these people refer to others as snowflakes, then turn around and make stuff like this truly amazing. Also DEI pretty much being a stand in for the N word or Minority is just, hilariously pathetic. Like how dare these people have..... JOBS? NO!.... THIS CANT BE!
@@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816 i hears someone said they did but they could be wrong, i assumed that was true bc it's a list on steam but i don't actually know how it works regardless why would they need to rate a game that tells you in the title and description it's about lesbians. still goofy
13:20 this is something that I really find funny because the anti woke dudes always say that japan games and series have no woke content even though most things are 99% gay and 1% supergay
Hell some of the H-games even from over 20 years ago had same sex options. ie declaring your true love to your childhood best friend in one has a scene in a fairly popular one from when I was in high school.
This list is so funny to me as an Elder Scrolls fan. They list Morrowind, the "gay gods and corrupt church" entry in the series, as simply "informational".
Yeah you can tell when they realize all the games they love have some kind of everything they claim is "woke" so they have to wiggle around it because they are cowards to admit it.
@@Littlevampiregirl100 These people currently with the Dragon Age series, acting like the previous games weren't queer as hell and only this one, right now, is an issue lmao I started playing Dragon Age Origins recently and my male elf was immediately hit on by Zevran. Come on lmao
My favorite will always be Hitman having "No Woke Content". A game whose humor is not that far removed from GTA and the plot is literally about taking out wealthy people who harm others.
Also the World of Assassination games essentially have a literal DEI disclaimer and if I recall correctly it’s implied that the target Sierra Nox from the second game is bisexual and at the time of her assassination was dating a woman (maybe cynically they were fine with it because she dies ,but they count any LGBT+ rep as woke even if it’s negative) Edit: was partially wrong about Sierra, it’s an in-universe rumor albeit with seemingly some basis in reality, especially since I don’t recall any interest in men being brought up but I’m trying not to mistake absence of evidence for evidence of absence
"The creator doesn't want to knock his favs" soo true. They do seem to have a bias for games that are already popular, and rate games worse, the newer they are. That might be why the "informational" category is there. What's the difference between it being "informational" and just being "not recommended" if its still in the game?
hell, at the time sparking zero wasn't even OUT and it got marked as "not having woke content" so they're already having favorites (db sparking is an amazing game btw) and also marking life is strange as...safe??????
Hey so in the Steam Curation stuff there is recommended, informational, and not recommended. They added the information as some people make curated listed based on theme or a genre. Its like "hey this game is also within that niche genre, I have not played it or cannot recommend it, but you may like it". That kind of thing.
the fact that nier automata is not woke is so funny cause there is a canon lesbian npc that verbally declares her attraction to another female android. they also barely did research has there an interview by yoko taro that says that android can change body part, including genitals, and that a lot of female android can be man and man android can be woman.
not to mention that pascal is a male robot but chooses to use a feminine voice bc he likes how the softer register calms the robot children he cares for. but they wilfully ignore this because the playable character for part of the game has a big ass or whatever
13:16 Ok sure, Final Fantasy V showed me a fearsome pirate captain that was secretly a tall handsome woman in disguise and now I'm a lesbian but that's just anecdotal evidence. And I dare anybody to look at Yoshitaka Amano's drawings of Faris and tell me they don't see the appeal.
I think you mean Yoshitaka Amano’s drawing. His character sketches, including that huge stud of a vampire V, are all pretty damn effeminate. Probably the most butch is the few pics he did of Tidus and that’s just because of his big pants 😂
holy crêpe, I can't believe I had never heard of this guy before... his drawings are so incredibly stunning and imaginative, like I wouldn't have expected such a visionary to be a major presence in the visual world of the FF games (but then again I've never actually played the games). I'm esp obsessed with how he draws eyes, they often have this really haunting and almost drugged expression... so yeah, thank you you for the rec!
Might I also recommend watching some ethan is online/ peethan streams? She (she presented as male until quite recently, hence the channel name) loves watching conservatives and making fun of the stupid shit that comes out of their mouths.
Just reminding, one of their recommended non-woke games, Borderlands (1), contains the following: the playable characters consists of Lilith, a woman with alien super powers; Mordecai, a hispanic guy; Roland, a black soldier, who is hinted to be the group's leader, based on one of his class mods called Leader and Brick, a big white dude with muscle brain. Some of the NPC allies is Tannis, an awkward genius woman and the other, Mad Moxxi, a highly promiscuous woman, who hosted an arena in search for her 4th husband and seems to consider Lilith one of the candidates, hitting on her on one of her quotes, suggesting that Moxxi is bisexual and it is confirmed in BL2. And one of the main villains is a high rank military woman.
Probably a spoiler: But also isn't there like a canonical interracial gay couple? Edit: i re-read your comment again and I notice that you added (1) after Borderlands, which probably hint to talking only about the first videogame in the series. The interracial gay couple appears later in the games if I remember correctly. My bad.
@@LianTheInvisible It's all good, no need for apologies. Yes, I talked about the first game, because it's the only game in the series these anti-woke boys greenlit.
On Baldur's Gate 3, there are male players who's masculinity is SO fragile, that they kill Astarion first interaction. Like, are they afraid that gOdS fOrBiD, he does something ✨g a y✨?... Or are they afraid they might like it?
@KC-2049idk if you're comfortable moding but starting from my second playthrough I got a mod to remove the party limit, then you just ungroup and send the characters you know will disapprove just out of earshot before starting a conversation
@@Lacmene8 OMG I saw a meme about that! The meme was just your party meeting an NPC asking: "Will you help us?", and the player moved Astarion away, and away, and away until he was a small dot, came back and said: "Of course!" I thought it's normal gameplay, I don't have the game myself.
@KC-2049 I'm weak. My entire gameplay is based off gaining his approval while trying to have a fairly neutral run (my Tav's also a Rogue). There are so many other emotionally available characters I could choose to romance but NOOOOO, I choose the emotionally unavailable traumatized vampire twink, because goddammit, why not?
Or it might just be because he's an annoying sparkly vampire edgelord marty-stu. There is a possibility of people being annoyed with extremely ubiquitous cringe character tropes without being part of a big closeted homophobic conspiracy, just a friendly FYI.
I saw Jean Armstrong and clicked the full irony of labeling Ace Attorney as "Informational" is above hilarious. Like said that man is anything but subtle.
I still love how my favorite game is listed as not recommended for having a non binary character. They literally have a clock for a head. They also didn’t like its anti capitalist messaging.
They also chose the character that is presented as a gay stereotype and jokes about his appearance and personality are not presented as a bad thing. You would think these people would be happy about that
as a yakuza fan, like a dragon getting such a small rating is crazy. the yakuza games should all immediately be considered "woke". like. forever. the guy making the list just being hypocritical because they like playing yakuza games as a power fantasy and skipping literally all of the story, lmao.
Multiple games include immigrants (often ILLEGAL immigrants) both allies and enemies and the story acknowledges the fact that a lot of them are criminals, particularly the illegal ones, because of how Japanese society works particularly in how naturalization even by blood is basically impossible rather than foreigners being inherently dangerous
Genuinely tho! One of the themes in EVERY yakuza game is that sex workers and homeless ppl deserve respect. Also, in LAD, the main antagonist is literally a conservative grifter politician lmao
@@OffOnATangent180 I also pointed out how they’re also sympathetic to immigrants including illegal one’s but that got deleted despite being positive, weird. Maybe it got auto deleted due to a couple of phrases out of context getting flagged
@@OffOnATangent180heck Ichiban cleaning the brothel in YLAD and being ready to toss the waste at the puritans was a fun moment. I like his backstory, it gives his pro worker sentiments a pretty well written weight that other protags haven't had to come with. They're also consistently pro orphan, which is a pleasant change as orphans/foster kids often get the short end of the stick IRL.
They think that ULTRAKILL is woke. From a fan’s perspective, this is ludicrous. From forums, to mods, to steam reviews, one criticism of ULTRAKILL reigns supreme: namely, the TRAGIC LACK OF GAY ROBOT SEX.
And apperantly The Sims isnt. You know where Males can get pregant by Aliens. Trans characters can exist. Gay people, marriage, adoption is legal and nobody complains about it. The Sims 4 even has pronoums, sexuality options, relationship options so without pick on them every Sims is Pronoum Neutral Bi poligamous Female/Male sim.

Ah, the "woke content detector' curators According to them, Skyrim is woke because the one woman in the marketplace asks you if you are intimidated by a strong nord woman
Funny, considering the way these guys get about unrealistic fantasy races, you'd think they'd be mad about playable Khajiits, not a strong woman. Especially with the general conservative freakouts about furries, with a specific focus on cats.
Apropo of nothing, here are some games found in the *Not* *Recommended* category: "I got BLACKMAILED by a FUTANARI!" "Juicy Futa" "Futa Tales" "Futa Fix Dix Dine and Dash" "Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest" "Futanari di Funghi" "Futa DomWorld"
Is It too improbable to think that Someone puts these on the list Just to fuck with everyone in there, like poisoning the well Or am i giving too much credit to people who think being a cool Cyborg is woke, or think that a game about chimps popping balloons is woke?
the futanari one is so funny or having the fact there's hermaphridite sex in the hermaphridite sex game. They really voted for the Leopard's Eating People's Faces Party
Imagine being mad at a purple muppet-like creature named Floofty Flizzlebean for using they/them pronouns in a world where food is sentient and can turn your body into that food just by eating it. Can't be me because they're my favorite character in the game.
I love the description for why Portal 2 is on the list. Female MC, and all male characters are portrayed poorly. These people did not know rattman, or cave johnson...
They might’ve included Cave Johnson due to him being a bit off his rocker (even if hilariously so) and being a businessman that disregards a lot of safety measures and basic ethics “so obviously it’s anti-capitalist/free market messaging 😤!”
I mean, Cave Johnson is definitely not portrayed as a good guy. But Rattman I 100% agree. Then again, they'd probably have a problem that a character with schizophrenia is portrayed positively.
@@SiRenfield I mean, the guy is still a genius. Part of the joke is that if Aperture were less tunnel-visioned about what they used their inventions FOR, they'd probably rule the world.
Isn't the point of character creation to create whatever character you want? Like who is holding these yahoos at hostage telling them they need to play a nonbinary character? Lmao
God I found out about a similar list the other month called "Woke and Censored Games Alert" which is completely unhinged and I did what any sane person would do, read through their entire catalouge. You can tell what sort of person made that list as one of his reviews is straight up "Character model's have censorship under their skirt." And whenever there is a pride flay inn a game the review says "This game has political flags".
One of my favorite games, Prey is on there for literally a singular lesbian (2 if you play as the female character) who destroyed her own relationship anyways so there's literally no active gay relationships during the entire game
Well, it seems to me there were thick hints that she would like to return this relationship. At least that's what I interpreted when one found out about the *SPOILERS* death of her partner.
I am now imagining "EXTREME WOKE" as skateboarding drag queens and I cannot remove this idea from my head. Not that I mind, but it is a bit irritating.
I have stumbled across your channel somehow - I'm not a usual follower of the "woke, oh no!" crowd or content, but now this kind of thing is all I see on forums, Reddit and especially the Steam forums. I cannot go anywhere to discuss a game, or a game that's coming out without a whole load of threads like "Is this woke?" or "this remake is ruined because woke!" or "LGBTQ+ woke in this game, raaahhh!" It's as if people can't be normal and have an actual conversation about the games themselves on the internet in gaming spaces anymore. As a side note, you look absolute fantastic and I had to say that.
Heres a fun fact for saints row 3, in sr1 there is no gender option meaning if you play as a girl in the subsequent games your canonically playing as a trans girl
@@vxicepickxv yeah yeah, and you can change everything mid campaign, so basically even being over the top and edgy saints row is MORE progressive than most games today
I genuinely think it's really funny that they give games they consider "Woke" entire paragraphs explaining the reason that they're "Woke" but when a game isn't considered "Woke" they just say "I don't know man, it's not Woke. Whatever."
I scrolled through their "reviews" a few months ago and my favorite one by FAR was void stranger. It's a game where all but 4 of the 25ish characters are female/femme-presenting nb's (the men are all either villains or background characters) with several romantic scenes between a few of them. You'd think this would mean the game is bad by their metrics but NO. It's SO fucking good that they made an actual honest to god review that was basically going "look, its woke but its fire please just give it a shot trust me" and considering how one of the themes it tackles is redemption makes it absolutely fucking hilarious to me. Edit: i went back and checked, they removed that review somewhere between september and now :(
I always feel kinda happy when a not very well known game I love makes the woke lists like. "Ah, look at that, it's getting enough attention to annoy the whiniest people on Earth. Good for you."
The funnier thing about the Saints Row games and being "woke", is that your character can technically be Transgender from SR2-SR4 if you make your character female, seeing as how SR1 only had you able to play as a male character. Not to mention that the player character also goes by They/Them. So on a technicality, most of Saints Row has been woke since 2008
I didn't expect when I decided to watch this video was to learn that Zachary Levi voiced Arcade, shows how much I pay attention since New Vegas is one of my favorite games.
2:07 God and they dont even KNOW how big of a read that is. Fragile egos like this damn sure aren't on the thirsty gay parts of the internet that sets the standard
My favorite one in the list is that Borderlands 1 is considered to have no issues whatsoever. The explicitly anti-capitalist game about corporate greed destroying a planet and workforce in search of infinite wealth and power. With at least 3 gay side characters, one of which is a sex worker.

You know they're still going to play all the "woke" games. No-matter what they like to tell themselves, no game ever failed from being woke, only from being bad. They just pretend some games that were going to fail anyway did so for being woke.
I’m not surprised they hate mentally ill people, but I’m still dumbfounded somehow by this case specifically. Because the game’s nothing extreme, nothing radical, it just shows an experience. Yet simply showing experiences is “messaging” & “propaganda” to these snowflakes.

"pro dei messaging" is just a dog whistle that means "game has a black character" in case anyone was wondering.

My favorite response to the statement of "Black people aren't in Norse Mythology" is just "Neither is Kratos"
along with the "there are too many female warriors, this is unrealistic" in medieval games, meanwhile you can cleave 4 people in half with one axe swing. also i think vikings have been known to be multiracial. dont think they were concerned about gatekeeping color or eugenics back then, especially not in a world where the need to repopulate was a reoccuring problem. read one book from a historian who wrote about the trade and trade routes of the north who was real upset about this misconception and dedicated a whole chapter to it
Historically, the Vikings roved all across the Mediterranean, to the point where the Byzantine nobles routinely employed them as bodyguards. I'm pretty certain there were at least some black people coming to Scandanavia, willingly or not. Heck, there's evidence that there were black people living in Roman Britain.
@@Littlevampiregirl100 Correct, the concept of "race" is something that originated in the recent past. Before the 15th century there wasn't a word for it and the concept and meaning of today came even later into existence[1]. Wow and let's not talk about nation-states or nationalism. There are even people still alive, not direct contemporary witnesses, but whose grandparents grew up at a time when the concepts of civic and ethnic nationalism were coined.
Well, what do you expect from religious fanatics and political extremists who do not even know the contents of their own "holy" book and who freely and arbitrarily "reinvent" their morality according to their daily needs?
[1] Who would've guessed it, in the form of "Rass" a former term for certain clergymen, which was later then used as a derogatory term against Jews. These are simply the proud "achievements" of the Catholic Church!

Apparently EURO TRUCK SIM is woke because you can hire female drivers who “don’t have a clear disadvantage compared to male drivers”, you can’t even make this up

I was just DYING laughing at a bunch of the top entries. Truck Sims. Farming Simulator. Freaking actual macho-er-than-macho toxic masculinity boom-boom-shooty series itself, CALL OF FREAKING DUTY.
The sad thing is, things have been SO far over the top for so long, now, that I _literally_ can't tell satire from actual opinions unless I actually know the person saying it. Overexaggeration as a way of automatically signalling "I'M JOKING" isn't a thing anymore. Subtlety is DEAD, yo. It's dead, been zombiefied, shot through the head, and burned.
I’m really depressed that this list correctly identifies Kris Dreemur from Deltarune as nonbinary when most of the fandom can’t
FOR REAL!!! when i looked at this list for laughs like a month or so ago, i saw the entry for deltarune and i was like "FINALLY!!!!" you'd think that in a predominantly queer fandom it wouldnt be hard to find people correctly refer to Kris with they, but apparently not. even on the ao3 tag it can be a bit hard to find fanfics that use they for Kris (they're my favorite character so it just leaves me like " :( " )
*Professionals have standards!*
They want him to be a guy because enbys is too queer for them
Which is really weird because they INSIST to the point of sending death threats that Chara and Frisk are NB, when Toby has never said so and has in fact said the opposite (but a Tumblr post said he did so it must be true!!)
Yet they keep misgendering the ACTUAL NB character.
@RosePosiepuddingpie The ones I saw saying Kris aren't NB are the ones that say Frisk and Chara's gender are chosen by the player (Personally, I think that since Undertale and Deltarune are very queerfriendly, both Chara, Kris and Frisk are NB)

Them not knowing whether Disco Elysium is pro or anti communist is what gave me the final piece of the puzzle considering the difference between informed and not recommended. It’s about obviousness. Most of them don’t think about what they see on screen, how the game might make metaphors and parallels with real world issue, or how it might bring humor and laugh at its own ideas. That’s why they think FF VII is subtle pro-ecological messaging: it’s because they didn’t call it fossil fuel, and because the consequence wasn’t climate change.
I came to check if someone had the same sentiment. Raft is labeled as not woke regards to climate change on their list but as far as I remember that game references it? It also is a game about floating in a world where the polar ice caps have melted. The reasoning for the ice caps melting may not have been 1:1 but the game doesn't feel subtle to me with what it's about.
also explains why they think absurd gay stereotypes played for laughs are pro lgbtq messaging lmao
Conservatives are bad at media analysis. They see only the surface level and are really too stupid to think deeper than that.
Super Mario contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. The player character is a short, chubby Italian who can run and jump long distances without trouble.
This comment has references to Wokeness, whether for or against them.
I get your point but it's also a casually pro-monarchy (like a lot of simple stories) game where you run through a corpse filled warzone to have the rightful ruler magically fix things.
That's actual canon, the levels are made up of Mushroom Kingdom citizens transformed by the Invading King Koopa and you need to rescue the Princess cause she's magic and is the only way to undo the spell.

the fact they mentioned until dawn having black and asian characters as if it was triggering shocks me, like, i thought they would at least try to mask some of their true beliefs
I thought they could be trolling, but then I remembered this is the internet, where people think they can make abhorrent statements and can get away, shielded behind a screen and keyboard.
Same with "woke" black sushi chef in Dave the Diver. As if it's something pro-DEI and unrealistic about black person working at the damn restaurant.
Just checked the list. It says it's flagged for having a black-asian couple, not that those characters exist. It's hilarious that it links to a study that finds that less than 2% of interracial marriages are black-asian, therefore they must never be portrayed? It both surprises me and doesn't surprise me that they'd be against interracial relationships
@@theshire9173 In what world are most stories about things that happen the majority of the time anyways. They should make a movie of me going to work everyday. That's what most people do.

theyre upset over a fat diver but like.
dude it's cold down there. i dont know how skinny people dive it sounds like a nightmare for anyone Not built like a seal
Also I'm pretty sure the game makes a few fat jokes at Dave's expense. It's been a while since I finished it so I might be remembering wrong.
Seals are woke???
Also if you ever actually go outside and join any outdoorsy clubs to do ANYTHING you'll learn that... A lot of them are fat? And old? Like yeah most rock climbers I know are skinny but I've gone hiking, caving, whitewater kayaking, etc and for ALL of those I've seen a lot of fat people excel. You go out into the woods for 10hrs with a fat 60yo woman and soon learn how little that matters when you're keeled over panting and she's still talking like it's a light walk in the park. I learned caving from a bunch of fat old people who still excelled because they knew how to squish through passages easily. Skill matters way more than body weight in many outdoors activities, and in some cases being fat is actually either advantageous or entirely irrelevant. For example, SCUBA diving funnily enough. The difficulty of activity while fat is that walking/running hurts your joints a lot more when you're fat and anything fast paced will jiggle you uncomfortably. SCUBA though? It's just extreme swimming, and swimming is the perfect activity when you're fat because it doesn't put any extra pressure on your joints and there's no jiggling.
@@molluscumlore as anecdotal evidence, me and my wife are equal levels of chonky. We both get out of breath walking up a flight of stairs. However, while on holiday I was happily powering up a massive hill while she needed to keep stopping to recover. Being fat is only loosely connected to how physically capable you are

I have a friend who is a marine biologist. She is fat. She is also capable of diving on the open ocean and is one of the two only people who are qualified to monitor and study sharks on the region.
Fat people can definitely dive. Also, a lot of swimming mammals are fat and blubbery because fat helps you with buoyancy and thermoregulation and shit. It doesn’t really help for Olympic speed swimming, but it certainly helps when diving.
How would fat people not be able to swim if manatees can?

In 1993 you could ftp the Stanford server to play a text-based MUD (multi-user dungeon). The choices for sex were M, F, none, and androgynous. I don’t recall hermaphroditic as an option, and don’t remember if intersex was an option or lumped into “androgynous.” I was a high school student in the buckle of the Bible Belt at the time. None of my friends warned me about this WOKENESS, because we had no such concept. Regardless of their nascent political and/or religious views NO ONE CARED about a couple extra character options - except for those of us who wanted to play an androgynous squid. We were stoked.
I want to be the androgynous squid.
Always be yourself, unless you can be an Androgynous Squid. If Androgynous Squid is an option, always pick that one.
"Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. The female player character is a Pict warrior who takes on Norsemen and Norse gods in melee combat.

This one gets me bc there's actually quite a bit of archeological/historical evidence for female warriors, hunters, etc. in Pictish, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and Norse societies. Even for the Picts, who have the fewest surviving artifacts to work from, I didn't have to look very hard to find mentions of monument stones depicting female warriors.

SR2 also had no Fs to give about how you dressed, enjoy your pantyhose boss, and beating enemies into orbit with a dildo is something they should have brought back for the reboot.

Also the World of Assassination games essentially have a literal DEI disclaimer and if I recall correctly it’s implied that the target Sierra Nox from the second game is bisexual and at the time of her assassination was dating a woman (maybe cynically they were fine with it because she dies ,but they count any LGBT+ rep as woke even if it’s negative)

"The creator doesn't want to knock his favs" soo true. They do seem to have a bias for games that are already popular, and rate games worse, the newer they are.

@@404_Toonz yeah, very recent news!
@@gnocchidokeyPISSER SPOTTED?
@gnocchidokey I’ve heard her name is Eden now
Just reminding, one of their recommended non-woke games, Borderlands (1), contains the following: the playable characters consists of Lilith, a woman with alien super powers; Mordecai, a hispanic guy; Roland, a black soldier, who is hinted to be the group's leader, based on one of his class mods called Leader and Brick, a big white dude with muscle brain.
Some of the NPC allies is Tannis, an awkward genius woman and the other, Mad Moxxi, a highly promiscuous woman, who hosted an arena in search for her 4th husband and seems to consider Lilith one of the candidates, hitting on her on one of her quotes, suggesting that Moxxi is bisexual and it is confirmed in BL2.
And one of the main villains is a high rank military woman.
Probably a spoiler:
But also isn't there like a canonical interracial gay couple?
Edit: i re-read your comment again and I notice that you added (1) after Borderlands, which probably hint to talking only about the first videogame in the series. The interracial gay couple appears later in the games if I remember correctly. My bad.
@@LianTheInvisible It's all good, no need for apologies. Yes, I talked about the first game, because it's the only game in the series these anti-woke boys greenlit.
On Baldur's Gate 3, there are male players who's masculinity is SO fragile, that they kill Astarion first interaction. Like, are they afraid that gOdS fOrBiD, he does something ✨g a y✨?... Or are they afraid they might like it?
@KC-2049idk if you're comfortable moding but starting from my second playthrough I got a mod to remove the party limit, then you just ungroup and send the characters you know will disapprove just out of earshot before starting a conversation
@@Lacmene8 OMG I saw a meme about that! The meme was just your party meeting an NPC asking: "Will you help us?", and the player moved Astarion away, and away, and away until he was a small dot, came back and said: "Of course!" I thought it's normal gameplay, I don't have the game myself.
@KC-2049 I'm weak. My entire gameplay is based off gaining his approval while trying to have a fairly neutral run (my Tav's also a Rogue). There are so many other emotionally available characters I could choose to romance but NOOOOO, I choose the emotionally unavailable traumatized vampire twink, because goddammit, why not?
@KC-2049I have a friend who (SPOILERS AHEAD) will let shadowheart kill laezel cause hes that much of a shart simp
Or it might just be because he's an annoying sparkly vampire edgelord marty-stu. There is a possibility of people being annoyed with extremely ubiquitous cringe character tropes without being part of a big closeted homophobic conspiracy, just a friendly FYI.
My games are so woke they won't let me go to bed at a reasonable time.
The reflection in the rocky horror show glass is giving "Megamind throwing it back" and its the only thing im watching now
oh my god you're right it does. oh my god
I saw Jean Armstrong and clicked the full irony of labeling Ace Attorney as "Informational" is above hilarious. Like said that man is anything but subtle.
ace attorney has a guy who "tried so hard to try dudes, but just couldn't". man i love larry
@@ШерешевскаяТамара Larry speaks so much gold he's priceless
Knowing how strong the Phoenix Wright x Miles Edgeworth ship is in Ace Attorney’s fandom makes this even more hilarious to me.
me too omg I saw ace attorney and immediately clicked, I am a very simple person
This is the series with Klavier Gavin, there’s no chance the wokeness would go undetected
I still love how my favorite game is listed as not recommended for having a non binary character. They literally have a clock for a head. They also didn’t like its anti capitalist messaging.
Let me guess, they also had something to say about queequeg? And garden of thorns gregor?
@@TGT30 nah they didn’t get that far lol
@@FaustLC Sometimes they are weirdly thorough and sometimes they’re just the complete opposite, lol.
...limbus company? Lmao I can't-
They think Phoenix Wright is "woke" because of a single character? This shows how little they know of the Phoenix/Edgeworth relationship.
They also chose the character that is presented as a gay stereotype and jokes about his appearance and personality are not presented as a bad thing. You would think these people would be happy about that
as a yakuza fan, like a dragon getting such a small rating is crazy. the yakuza games should all immediately be considered "woke". like. forever. the guy making the list just being hypocritical because they like playing yakuza games as a power fantasy and skipping literally all of the story, lmao.
Multiple games include immigrants (often ILLEGAL immigrants) both allies and enemies and the story acknowledges the fact that a lot of them are criminals, particularly the illegal ones, because of how Japanese society works particularly in how naturalization even by blood is basically impossible rather than foreigners being inherently dangerous
Genuinely tho! One of the themes in EVERY yakuza game is that sex workers and homeless ppl deserve respect. Also, in LAD, the main antagonist is literally a conservative grifter politician lmao
@@OffOnATangent180 I also pointed out how they’re also sympathetic to immigrants including illegal one’s but that got deleted despite being positive, weird. Maybe it got auto deleted due to a couple of phrases out of context getting flagged
@@SiRenfield no, RUclips just sucks and won't post your comments for no arbitrary reason. It's been a known probably for like 2 years now.
@@OffOnATangent180heck Ichiban cleaning the brothel in YLAD and being ready to toss the waste at the puritans was a fun moment. I like his backstory, it gives his pro worker sentiments a pretty well written weight that other protags haven't had to come with. They're also consistently pro orphan, which is a pleasant change as orphans/foster kids often get the short end of the stick IRL.
Elden Ring is woke cause body type 1 and 2, strong female characters in pants and genderfluid gods
Have they picked up a mythology book?
And if you're a female character, you have to marry another woman to get the most optimistic ending. Though that is pretty realistic. 🙂
@@paulgibbon5991 I think if you play as female then most endings is still gay because you'd become Marika's consort
They think that ULTRAKILL is woke. From a fan’s perspective, this is ludicrous. From forums, to mods, to steam reviews, one criticism of ULTRAKILL reigns supreme: namely, the TRAGIC LACK OF GAY ROBOT SEX.
what about the visual novel special hidden level where the robot wears a skirt?
@@Xeorboom Not good enough. I want Gabe on his knees like the bratty twink he is.
You're wrong, there is gay sex. Namely where Gabriel keeps fucking you so hard that you have to turn down the difficulty lmao 😂
obsessed with the fact that call of duty is listed as woke, when its just like the most fun you can have with american military propaganda :p
And apperantly The Sims isnt.
You know where Males can get pregant by Aliens. Trans characters can exist. Gay people, marriage, adoption is legal and nobody complains about it. The Sims 4 even has pronoums, sexuality options, relationship options so without pick on them every Sims is Pronoum Neutral Bi poligamous Female/Male sim.
Assuming education as we know it survives the next couple decades, schoolchildren learning about the Woke Panic will wonder why tf so many men were screaming like angry toddlers about (checks notes) character customization in a video game & racialized elves in a TV show
Incidentally, my gender wasn't transed by F:NV, but by the Saints Row reboot from a couple years ago. I wanna personally buy each of the devs a pizza for TDoV 💖
If our education system manages to last that long imagine all the kids who look up their daddies and see just how trashy they were being. Or maybe there won’t be any since most of them are following Tate to try and get dating advice 😂
It's almost as if swimming is one of the best exercises for people that are overweight and have joint problems, but heaven forbid they have ever listened to doctors. (Source: have been overweight all my life and swim like a CHAMP.)
I’m overweight and a much better diver than any skinny/conventionally athletic person I know
9:20 hi I'm a norse pagan and it is practically universally accepted amongst my (non-bigoted) people that Heimdallr is black, and NOT because of marvel
also aside from hair colour there isn't really anything in norse mythology describing how the gods look so 🤷
thank you for coming to my ted talk
Being “dark skinned” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re black lol
And there is nothing in the Wikipedia entry that shows Heimdallr is black, the visual depiction of him is definitely not.
I can kinda see why they got Peggle in there. They managed to create the only straight coded unicorn in existence
J K Trolling was a terf looong before that game came out lol
Yes but Francis said joke turned out to be a terf just after they (and their partner) preordered the game. I’m sure preorders were open a long time before the game actually came out
@@flyingsnail_art9170 didn't it release in 2023? Trolling made her terf essay back in like 2020. Ik people still supported her after that, but op is correct, she had made her opinions known by then even if they generously pre-ordered a year or two in advance. I'm not trying to call anyone out, but the information was out there. She has very clearly only gotten more brazen. Sucks her goblin ass took away hp from a lot of people.
@@MadiganinPeach She maintained some degree of deniability for a while. How plausible it is is up for debate.
Personally I thought she was obviously transphobic well before that game was available to preorder, but she wasn't fully mask-off yet so 🤷♂️
Ah, the "woke content detector' curators
According to them, Skyrim is woke because the one woman in the marketplace asks you if you are intimidated by a strong nord woman
@@bradencampbell464 lmao and the answer was "yes"
They just was so intimidated.
Funny, considering the way these guys get about unrealistic fantasy races, you'd think they'd be mad about playable Khajiits, not a strong woman. Especially with the general conservative freakouts about furries, with a specific focus on cats.
Apropo of nothing, here are some games found in the *Not* *Recommended* category:
"I got BLACKMAILED by a FUTANARI!"
"Juicy Futa"
"Futa Tales"
"Futa Fix Dix Dine and Dash"
"Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest"
"Futanari di Funghi"
"Futa DomWorld"
They're just have some f3t1sh3s.
Is It too improbable to think that Someone puts these on the list Just to fuck with everyone in there, like poisoning the well
Or am i giving too much credit to people who think being a cool Cyborg is woke, or think that a game about chimps popping balloons is woke?
the futanari one is so funny or having the fact there's hermaphridite sex in the hermaphridite sex game. They really voted for the Leopard's Eating People's Faces Party
"Look, I'm in the middle of a LOT of research, don't come in for a couple hours."
I think I need to play 'Mage Kanade's Futanari Dungeon Quest' because of how ridiculous it sounds!
22:12 “heavy social commentary regarding communism, whether pro or anti is unclear” sounds like an actual quote from the game 😂
Imagine being mad at a purple muppet-like creature named Floofty Flizzlebean for using they/them pronouns in a world where food is sentient and can turn your body into that food just by eating it. Can't be me because they're my favorite character in the game.
They also got mad at the non-binary Transformer in EarthSpark (Nightshade), which is just as ridiculous. THEY'RE A TRANSFORMER.
@@neoqwerty Robots that can transform into different vehicles is okay, but giving them no gender is too far!
@ampersketch how fucking dare they ignore that most transformers being men implies that being gay is very normal because who else do they have
I love the description for why Portal 2 is on the list. Female MC, and all male characters are portrayed poorly. These people did not know rattman, or cave johnson...
They might’ve included Cave Johnson due to him being a bit off his rocker (even if hilariously so) and being a businessman that disregards a lot of safety measures and basic ethics “so obviously it’s anti-capitalist/free market messaging 😤!”
I mean, Cave Johnson is definitely not portrayed as a good guy. But Rattman I 100% agree. Then again, they'd probably have a problem that a character with schizophrenia is portrayed positively.
@@rosykindbunny1313 or they don't play it.
@@SiRenfield I mean, the guy is still a genius. Part of the joke is that if Aperture were less tunnel-visioned about what they used their inventions FOR, they'd probably rule the world.
What happened to Zachary Levi? Wow
Isn't the point of character creation to create whatever character you want? Like who is holding these yahoos at hostage telling them they need to play a nonbinary character? Lmao
V from cyberpunk talking to me about woke videogames? Literally the best Saturday ever
God I found out about a similar list the other month called "Woke and Censored Games Alert" which is completely unhinged and I did what any sane person would do, read through their entire catalouge. You can tell what sort of person made that list as one of his reviews is straight up "Character model's have censorship under their skirt." And whenever there is a pride flay inn a game the review says "This game has political flags".
"political flags" 😂 what is this dog whistle 😂
I can’t believe that Ace Attorney being flagged didn’t include the famous fact about what it was based on
One of my favorite games, Prey is on there for literally a singular lesbian (2 if you play as the female character) who destroyed her own relationship anyways so there's literally no active gay relationships during the entire game
Well, it seems to me there were thick hints that she would like to return this relationship. At least that's what I interpreted when one found out about the *SPOILERS* death of her partner.
To me, it was more revealing for what they "recommend". It felt like they had a game type....how many anime underage girl games.....
I am now imagining "EXTREME WOKE" as skateboarding drag queens and I cannot remove this idea from my head. Not that I mind, but it is a bit irritating.
Xtreme Drag? I'd watch the shit outta that
ACE ATTORNEY MENTIONED!!! also jean being subtle when he CANONICALLY FLIRTS WITH PHOENIX AND EL TIGRE 😭😭😭😭😭
And not Maximilian Galactica 😂
They dont know what flirting is lol
@@mimszanadunstedt441 that would require them to talk to other people
I have stumbled across your channel somehow - I'm not a usual follower of the "woke, oh no!" crowd or content, but now this kind of thing is all I see on forums, Reddit and especially the Steam forums. I cannot go anywhere to discuss a game, or a game that's coming out without a whole load of threads like "Is this woke?" or "this remake is ruined because woke!" or "LGBTQ+ woke in this game, raaahhh!" It's as if people can't be normal and have an actual conversation about the games themselves on the internet in gaming spaces anymore.
As a side note, you look absolute fantastic and I had to say that.
Peggle isn't woke? Peg is right there in the name
Heres a fun fact for saints row 3, in sr1 there is no gender option meaning if you play as a girl in the subsequent games your canonically playing as a trans girl
Saint's Row 2 has gender as a slider.
@@vxicepickxv yeah yeah, and you can change everything mid campaign, so basically even being over the top and edgy saints row is MORE progressive than most games today
I genuinely think it's really funny that they give games they consider "Woke" entire paragraphs explaining the reason that they're "Woke" but when a game isn't considered "Woke" they just say "I don't know man, it's not Woke. Whatever."
I scrolled through their "reviews" a few months ago and my favorite one by FAR was void stranger. It's a game where all but 4 of the 25ish characters are female/femme-presenting nb's (the men are all either villains or background characters) with several romantic scenes between a few of them. You'd think this would mean the game is bad by their metrics but NO. It's SO fucking good that they made an actual honest to god review that was basically going "look, its woke but its fire please just give it a shot trust me" and considering how one of the themes it tackles is redemption makes it absolutely fucking hilarious to me.
Edit: i went back and checked, they removed that review somewhere between september and now :(
awh that sucks, kinda wanted to read that
Coke Francis more like WOKE Francis
controversial opinion but God of War(2018) is better than Ragnarok
I always feel kinda happy when a not very well known game I love makes the woke lists like. "Ah, look at that, it's getting enough attention to annoy the whiniest people on Earth. Good for you."
14:55 only Floofty? That's surprising sense there's also a gay and lesbain couple WHO KISS IN THE GAME
Wiggle is confirmed to be pan too!
But they were so subtle about it (they weren't)
The funnier thing about the Saints Row games and being "woke", is that your character can technically be Transgender from SR2-SR4 if you make your character female, seeing as how SR1 only had you able to play as a male character. Not to mention that the player character also goes by They/Them. So on a technicality, most of Saints Row has been woke since 2008
I can only imagine their reaction when they find out that Samus is a girl.
Also the DMC reboot is pro abortion; you know the scene.
I didn't expect when I decided to watch this video was to learn that Zachary Levi voiced Arcade, shows how much I pay attention since New Vegas is one of my favorite games.
2:07 God and they dont even KNOW how big of a read that is. Fragile egos like this damn sure aren't on the thirsty gay parts of the internet that sets the standard
These guys must HATE buffet restaurants because they have food they don’t like as an option.
Just wait until they hear about the sims (2000)
They put The Sims in there. It was TS4, but still. Funny as hell.
My favorite one in the list is that Borderlands 1 is considered to have no issues whatsoever. The explicitly anti-capitalist game about corporate greed destroying a planet and workforce in search of infinite wealth and power. With at least 3 gay side characters, one of which is a sex worker. With only 1 out of 4 playable characters being a white man, and 2 poc’s.
lol this entire list feels like an article from “The Onion”. Satire really is dead, and insecure racist men killed it.
Edit: I’m sorry, Elon Musk does what now?!
8:35 I literally always call her "Joanne" because she's thrown embarrassing strops over being called it... Despite it... Being her name... And despite her deadnaming and misgendering others, and she seems to have zero self-awareness over that hypocrisy.
Most of my games are in the not recommended side. So I'm woke I guess. 🏳️⚧️
Maybe if all the transphobes and homophobes stop playing video games we can get better representation because we will be the only audience
To say Cyberpunk endorses transhumanism is to miss several points the game is making, unless they just disliked the way the word sounds and refused to look it up in protest. Anyway, greetings Your Majesty! The Sacred Algo finally deemed me worthy of your content a few months back, and I had to catch up. Love me some funny, well reasoned think pieces. Would love to support your work, but alas, being poor, I have only my dreams. If you ever actually ascend to full supervillainy, consider this my application for the position of junior henchman.
As a nerdy straight male with absolutely no sense of style I am always enamored by your aesthetic.
Thank you for the social commentary and the sarcasm contained within it.
I'm from Brazil.
Twitter is blocked here. I was never happier.
i was surprised at how many people were upset at a twitter ban in brazil... not even just the nazi-posters having their "free speech" revoked, i mean, like people in general. i wish twitter was banned in the US, it's was one of many devastating blows to our politics.
You know they're still going to play all the "woke" games. No-matter what they like to tell themselves, no game ever failed from being woke, only from being bad. They just pretend some games that were going to fail anyway did so for being woke.
There’s a game on there for the main character being a woman with depression, & the story being about depression.
“Overtly pro-DEI messaging”.
The first woke game was Depression Quest for being nothing but an accurate depiction of depression.
I’m not surprised they hate mentally ill people, but I’m still dumbfounded somehow by this case specifically.
Because the game’s nothing extreme, nothing radical, it just shows an experience.
Yet simply showing experiences is “messaging” & “propaganda” to these snowflakes.
@@skipperdoodles3275 if it's Depression Quest it's very much about their hatred of Zoe specifically, GG didn't die off it just metastasized. She's lived rent free in their heads since my boys were still in diapers. Which is super depressing in itself that the Gaters have been around as a bad case of IBS that long now.
if anything sums up these people's level of media literacy its the "pro or anti[-communism] unclear" for disco elysium. the devs literally thanked marx in their acceptance speech then they recieved an award for the game
