Never played or cared for LoL, so I don't know if a fan would have an issue with anything, but this was a damn good show, and had a really great villain.
Didn't catch any woke shit either.

Arcane is a pretty "progressive" show with casual lesbianism, racial diversity, and stronk females. The difference between Arcane and other progressive shows, however, is that they play everything straight and give each character the respect they deserve. Every hero has faults to overcome, every villain has understandable motives, and nobody is perfect. Everyone is desperate to get what they want, but the script doesn't take anyone's side. Nothing comes across as preachy, and there will never be a point where the hero looks at the camera and proclaims trans rights. Combine that with solid animation and brilliant fight and action choreography, and I can safely put it on the shelf for woke shit I actually enjoyed, right next to Horizon: Zero Dawn.
They weren't playing it straight when the 100 lbs girl beat up the 250 lbs meathead street fighter who was on magic steroids. Using maybe 20 lbs of iron fist she looks like she could barely even lift.
It was so comical I totally checked out. Left the rest on as background noise.
Maybe it was explained the fists had like inertial gyros in there or something and I just missed it.
In the show only the surface people have hextech and the sewer people only have machines and steroids.
If they had a one-liner even that the gloves were magic I could get past it, except before that the 100 lbs girl was already beating up the 250 lbs streetfighter... the guy took steroids so she had to get the magic fists. Like okay maybe a skeleton-ninja could beat up some meathead like Schwarzenegger, but not a streetfighter. It was just totally unbelievable.
They literally had that.
So it's woke. Thanks for the heads up.
HZD is a game that I still haven't made up my mind on, a lot of people call it woke feminist trash, and the sequel Aloy design is definitely bad with the fat face.
hzd 1 was under cover tranny. hzd2 went full on tlou tranny.

heres where they went fully tranny, notice how she is as flat as a coalminer in the newer art
I don't have much hope for the sequel, I just know that the original was fun enough for me to play it all the way through. The woke parts like the hyper diversity actually get explained when the plot twist is revealed, which I thought was neat.
