"Woke" Franchises

Fate/Zero practically feels like a western work of the 80s.


Come to think of it, how do you guys even define "Woke"?
"Woke" is in fact originally a leftist term for people who have "awakened to social injustices".

Problem is, Leftist idea of social injustice has... issues, especially nowadays.

So it was not long before "woke" became a shorthand for "politically delusional basement dweller".
Yeah basically what Aldarion said. Originally it was a leftist term, similar to fake news.

Then people started using it for what is effectively defined as 'any and all needless leftist political fuckery in media'.

It'd be like if a breakfast cereal ad had the number 1488 in the background. Coincidence? Yeah maybe. But when every second breakfast cereal ad has it, something's amiss.

This is an example of anti-woke.

Basically, the Helldivers 2 developers are keeping politics on both sides out of the game, banning and closing posts.
One Alphabet Souper is throwing a bitch fit because he asked for a "rainbow cape", haha.


What would LGBTQIA+ even mean in the context of Helldivers?

Lets Get Bugs to Quit.... Idolizing... Arthropodom +?

Actually that sound rather amicable a war aim then mutually assured genocide. No wonder Alphabet Soupery is banned in Super Earth. Such moderation opens the door for weakness to creep into the State.

Apparently the alphabet soup people wanted their alphabet soup flags in game as decorations or something.

And the developers stopped the Cult from getting its claws into the game, as they should.

I'm actually looking into picking up the game when I upgrade my graphics card because they're determined to keep politics and cancerous culture (like the Rainbow Tumour) out of the game/community.

if they stayed in their basements the world wouldn't be as fucked as it is.

Yeah, a lot of people were saying that in the comments' section.

People don't care if someone's gay; they don't like Rainbow Tumour shit. A Pride cape? Yeah, that's a guarantee "frag me" bullseye.

Effectively, the sex cult has long gone past the bounds of acceptability with the majority of the gaming demographic, add that they are firmly entangled with the hodgepodge of other leftist groups that can't seem to help shitting on gamers whenever and for whatever they can, and yeah wearing a pride flag in a friendly fire shooter is going to see you consistently mowed down.

Probably not every game, but like every couple for sure.

Which the left would absolutely love. I honestly think they would jump for joy for such screenshots of "bigoted gamers" and reddit posts like "Why Haven't the Devs banned homophobic team killers?".

It would be a PR stunt against gamers and the rightwing they couldn't pass up on.
