pronouns, gays, and women are scawy :( oh no whatever will the fragile men do now that they aren’t the only face of video games 🥺🥺🥺
I had to look up scawy - how scawy is that. I think pronouns are best left as unchanged as ever, but I’m glad that women and gays are more appreciated and more visible now. Being gay myself, I know that the really scawy things, the things that really keep people’s brains small and restricted, are ignorance and bias. Those are shackles you can’t outgrow or outrun.
I’m glad for the ability to change pronouns, I know a lot of trans and non-binary people who really appreciate the inclusion, and it doesn’t impact the game in any negative ways. I think people can outgrow ignorance and bias, but it takes a significant amount of work and a willingness to change. Unfortunately, not many people see any reason to challenge their bias and bigotry so it rarely happens.
We need less woke and more Drakengard!
If it uses the word “woke” it’s automatically not worth anyone’s time
Don’t forget “political”.
If it means that it’s talking about society, every story ever written is political in some way. But we all know in this context it means “stuff I don’t like”.
TBH that goes both ways too. How many people would be upvoting and praising this video if it was coming at the topic from the other direction politically? I would bet it would be a LOT of people here. I get frustrated at hearing everything called “woke” too, but if people are going to ask one “side” to check their biases, they should be able to do the same for themselves.
Yes, 2023 is widely regarded as the worst year ever in gaming
