Dude Suicide squad is not even compromising with "wokeness" in any fucking way IMO, WB never wanted to go woke they are compromising with stock and make it go up. WB said clearly they wanted a live service game to reap more money and that they'll gonna keep doing live service games.

Harley shoots Batman in the fukken face with a death cold stare. How the shitting fuck that's woke?No he's got several great points.
Sweet Baby Inc is trash, every game they've touched is a dumpster fire.
The things he points out makes it pretty clear that they use inclusivity and "wokeness" to mask how talentless they are, which is actually pretty common throughout the gaming industry these days. Not just the gaming industry either, the Harley Quinn show was a checklist of 'woke' talking points (and trash, another good example is Velma although Velma was pretty mask off in their biases).
Case in point, Hades 2. We go from male protagonist Zagreus in the first game, to female protagonist Melinoë in the second. Guess what? Not a single time am I found questioning the validity of the writing because it's actually good and doesn't hinge on echo chamber synchronization.
Idk, I think he probably hinges on 'the message' too hard but he isn't wrong.
