I'm honestly surprised that no one calls this game woke
Because the game sold and reviewed well, so it goes against the narrative of “get woke go broke”
I think literally every business in the world has managed to tow that line. It's not like the right stopped drinking bud light. Although they probably should have.
What is woke about the game?
Anti racism is woke. Arthur actively beats the shit out of or yells at anyone who is racist. Arthur is woke. This is a good thing.
Not sure if satire.
Being not racist is woke now? I thought it was just normal.
Have you seen the average gamer responses lately? The needle for woke has now moved to female protagonist = woke unless she's shaped like an anime girl anyway
What did you think woke means?
Woke is just things the right don't like. Even if it's just a personal thing like salad.
Tax is woke. The neighbour who fills up my wheely bin is woke. Kids who play music on the bus are woke.
Also, you can murder random Klan members and increase your honour.
Did not know that
They mean just in general.
Yep, there’s a bunch of Klan meets you can happen upon, where every attendee you kill nets you an increase in honour.
I like to start with the dynamite when they're doing the racist Hokey Cokey.
Literally everything mentioned in the 4chan post.
Mainly because you can shove “woke” shit down peoples throats and they won’t care as long as they get to play a manly man or stacked chick and the story and characters are well developed. It’s just when the game is really bad that people care about it and then the studios can blame the poor performance on the alt-right as a cop out for their shitty game. I.e. Star Wars outlaws and Concorde
people have been very uppity about the new dragon age even though i hear that's good.
