This is what CHUD media analysis looks like I guess. "The curtains are always blue, except when they're WOKE!" frothingfash

"The curtains are always blue, except BLUE is the same colour that the tattooed alt chick's hair is and she wouldn't fuck me! So the curtain are WOKE!"

"I don't know why therapy is a real thing. Every time I go for an "inkblot" test, they just show me pictures of my parents fucking for hours at a time, and I think that's NOT cool. Anyway, here's why this video game is woke and I hate it..."

I can't prove it, but I guarantee this is an accurate dramatization of real events.

It really is. The thinking really seems to go like this. In conclusion it's woke. Now let's have a look at it and see the why and how...

Reminds me of this nonsense I saw recently. The context is the Mega Man devs saying they're adding more variety to boss designs in the upcoming game (first one revealed is named "Twinkle Girl") and that female heroes are common now:

The design is not the greatest. But I never thought of the Robot Masters as sex coded (I do now, thanks Capcom and moderm humans) but I always thought of them as humanoid robots of things eg Man=Human-Android not Man = adult human male.

As for popularity and special places in hearts and such.... Yeah I can predict that kind of marketing outcome. Capcom staff/marketing team are coming from a fundamentally different place than social media illustrators I can guarantee you that. That said this kind of marketing and signaling is NOT going to produce demographic growth, it just invites the kind of audiences niche struggling franchises should avoid. You heard it from me now, if/when it happens don't shoot the messenger.

That is an awful lot of words for them to just say "go woke, go broke". I'd say the 99% of humanity who don't have an aneurysm when they see wamens in video games are probably a good demographic to target.

They literally all have the word "man" in their name, except for Splash Woman.
