If the writing sucks, then talk about how the writing sucks. If I see someone crying “woke bs” without backing anything up I’m going to automatically assume that person is a bigoted moron.

As soon as someone calls something “woke”, I know immediately to ignore whatever they’re saying, they’re almost surely incapable of proper critical thinking. If they could form an actual critical opinion they’d be talking about that instead of using a generic political term that equates to “anything I don’t like or understand”.

I think most people lack that level of self awareness.

I think if the most interesting thing about the game is how woke it is, thats a really bad sign.

Consider Cyberpunk 2077 as an example, there was a hot minute where people were getting their transphobic panties in a bunch over the hermaphroditic ingame advertisements, but There was so much MORE to talk about in cyberpunk 2077 that it wasn’t the only discussion about the game (even before it launched).

If I see someone crying “woke bs” without backing anything up I’m going to automatically assume that person is a bigoted moron.

If I see someone downvoting thoughtful comments I’m going to automatically assume that person is a closed minded moron.

Your comments are not thoughtful. They’re the same dull BS that we’ve all heard hundreds of times before. Much like the creators of the “woke” games you’re decrying, you’re trying to write something interesting and simply failing. Perhaps you should empathize with them instead.

I have not decried a single game as woke.

Lol.

If someone doesn’t like my unsubstantiated claim of “woke” they’re a moron

I’m happy to talk with people about difficult or sensitive subjects, but throwing around downvotes doesn’t encourage good dialog.
