Even the old HP games were full of "diverse" NPCs. The funny thing is that they would be considered problematic nowadays, as the devs used the exact same 3D models with different textures for skin and eye colors. lol
I think I've lost count of the posts I've seen on Reddit from liberals, who had a lifelong disinterest in guns, who all the sudden are deciding to panic buy an AR because the shitty government that they voted for decided to ban them in their locality.
It seems woke as fuck, obnoxiously 'diverse' and possibly even anti white, but this is very much a free speech issue. Trans activists want it to make it fail so they can further tighten their stranglehold on what speech is acceptable.
It probably was made by people who hate me and it was definitely made by people who are desperate to pander to gender psychopaths. But I want it to succeed anyway. I want to send a message to cultural tyrants in the trans community and I want that message to be ' You're not getting your way this time. Fuck. Off.'
Supporting something with Body Type A and Body Type B and 75% nonwhite characters is a bitter pill, but I want to win this battle even if it's a pyrrhic victory. There will be more opportunities to fight the rest of the bullshit.
That's a strange way of telling the troons to fuck off.
Outside of the broader context where they're doing everything they can to destroy freedom of speech, sure. I just think that's a more important battle than the Body Type A/Body Type B stuff right now. But it all needs to go in the end.
Interesting perspective. Something for me to consider in these last few hours while I decide if I'm going to preorder it, despite a tranny having been spotted in the game already.
It feels like I'm being manipulated, but the LGBT activists truly do want the game to fail - this is undeniable. So it's like...if it fails, they win. If the game is a success, they lose, and they're pissed, but if the game is woke trash from other left wing activists anyway, what's really taken place here? I've wasted money supporting some leftists that some other leftists happen to hate for clown world reasons. I've pissed off the clown mob by supporting the clown mob.
I think I'm going to hold off on pulling the trigger until the last possible second (if I buy the game, I want the preorder bonus, otherwise I'd just wait until after launch). Hopefully further leaks will tell me if we're looking at a preachy propaganda game after all.
I think it's a matter of scale. The LGBT activists are the obsessive, destructive, authoritarian leftists, the wokeness in the game itself is just corporate appeasement. Corporate appeasement is also highly destructive and in most cases I'd say hell no, but the greater evil here is the group of psychopaths who are actively crusading to destroy freedom of speech and punish wrongthink. They are dangerous and vile.
I think I'm going to hold off on pulling the trigger until the last possible second
It's funny, because as far as I can tell they aren't marketing shit. It's selling itself because everyone's lost their god damn mind. A self marketing product. Some CEO must be creaming themselves at the thought.
It probably started as a marketing campaign, but the trans community is throwing a tantrum and doing the usual flexing and trying to shame/threaten people into not getting it. I want that to fail more than I want the game to fail.
Yeah I've long ago stopped paying full price for a damn beta release. I don't mind paying discounted prices for alpha/beta builds if I can contribute (submit bugs, etc) and watch the game grow, but I'm done being some AAA shop's bitch for full price.
I can think the game might be mechanically interesting, and I can enjoy that it pisses trannies off. And also not buy it because it's still woke in other ways.
It pisses trannies off because it still gives money to Rowling and promotes the HP brand.
However it has the "no males or females, just Body Type 1 and Body Type 2 and both can go in the girls' dorm" feature.
Also has wayyyy too many nonwhite characters for a game set in the 1890's about English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish wizards when Hogwarts in the 1990's only had a couple nonwhite characters (iirc only Dean Thomas, Angelina Johnson, and Cho Chang are the only nonwhite students that get a mention in the books).
There's trying to throw around the "we wanna be inclusive to everyone (by making everything look like a sample size of modern New York City)!!" ...........and then there's accidentally implying that a genocide will happen that wipes out nearly all the POC to account for why so few exist a century later.
Body Type 1, Body Type 2 is retarded as fuck. If they made it male/female, and you were transgendered -- well, you get to be whatever the fuck you identify as. What the hell is Body Type 1 and 2 for? Non-binaries? Gender fluids? That's faker than magic.
iirc only Dean Thomas, Angelina Johnson, and Cho Chang are the only nonwhite students that get a mention in the books
There was a Patel something too. Which actually made sense since there is a significant Indian minority in England, having been their colony for hundreds of years.
That said, it made sense for a British school in the 2000's. There would probably be one or no minorities from England's colonies at a prestigious school in the 1890s. And any that were there, would primarily be a token to show how magnanimous their British masters are in civilizing the lower races. White Man's Burden and all that, old chap. I doubt that's a subplot this game would like to explore.
.......and then there's accidentally implying that a genocide will happen that wipes out nearly all the POC to account for why so few exist a century later.
A lot of people keep forgetting that JK Rowling is still obnoxiously feminist and woke. Getting off the woke-train at the tranny-stop doesn't mean she still doesn't believe all the other marxist crap.
So several things are simultaneously true for this game.
I was interested in it before any controversy, just by when I saw the trailer. It looked really cool to explore a large recreation of that world
I knew it would be almost certainly very woke. If you have an Indie game today, there's about a 70% chance it will be woke....when you get a AAA huge budget game that goes up to like a 99.7% chance. I don't think I can remember the last modern release where the character selection was not majority non-white and female and the men didn't look like effeminate soy boys that you could pick from.
Like 95% of games I'll skip the cutscenes. I didn't grow up on RPG's or anything like that, and will probably play the game muted or dialogue off because I want to minimize the blood pressure increasing wokeness that'll be anywhere. To me, it'll be a cool game to collect all the secrets in the world and sort of live in that universe and try to ignore the anti-white, anti-male agenda while I chill out listening to podcasts as I make my way through the game.
I'll probably wait a year or 2 when the inevitable game of the year edition releases that has all the DLC that will probably come out and probably wait for a sale.
I do enjoy that it's making the "trans" movement whine and be retarded because any time they "eat their own" it's funny to witness, even though I know the game will be woke and knew it from day 1.
With modern games I just mute the game while I play while listening to a podcast or something. Unlike modern movies and TV which are just totally unsalvageable because when you mute a movie or TV show, you are left with nothing....audio is at least 50% of what makes a movie or TV show at a minimum.
With games, you can still enjoy them muted while you listen to stuff that doesn't make you cringe every 5 seconds. I mostly play older games nowadays, but the rare decent looking game, I just mute and just enjoy the gameplay.
It looked really cool to explore a large recreation of that world
Having read the books as an adult. I will give JK Rowling credit for crafting a compelling universe. There's the illusion of much greater depth than just the details you read about directly in the books.
In that way, it's a lot like Star Wars was to me before Disney ruined it. I wanted to see what other interesting things people were doing and experience more of the universe that Lucas crafted.
It's a shame JK Rowling is a feminazi, and at the same time hilarious that she's now considered as revolting as we would be to the troon's and their friends
Unlike modern movies and TV which are just totally unsalvageable because when you mute a movie or TV show, you are left with nothing
I've noticed a lot of modern shows that are meant for men have some feminist/marxist side plot (non-white man or woman going through "issues" in society, etc). YOu can literally skip their scenes and only need a few sentences to catch up if it collides with the other plots. I did this with the Sopranos movie (because I was watching it for Sopranos lore, not to see some entitled Italian slut fuck a black man in graphic detail).
Around maybe 2018 I've started leaning hard on the 30 second skip button.
Whenever a woman starts talking I hit skip, and if she is still talking I hit it again. And I really don't miss out on anything plot-wise.
But really there just isn't anything worth watching. Terminal List was good, Reacher was very watchable even if it still had some message pushing. Nothing "must see" from maybe the last 5 years. I liked Arcane a lot.
I did see the pilot of Reacher and it looked like it had potential. I just don't have a lot of drive these days to consooom the latest shows. Will look into the other shows you mentioned.
I did give Yellowstone's first season a shot but god damn did I find myself skipping through the female/indian soapboxing (ESPECIALLY the horse trainer dude's indian wife my god). I lost intersest at the end when every single area of the show has female representation now, including the Cowboys (turbo-masculine cowboy dudes maintaining the ranch and other "jobs" necessary).
Agent Carter was a solid show. It definitely leaned hard on the "get us some coffee, sweetheart" trope, but at least it was appropriate to the era the show was set in and was integral to the plot.
There's nothing more ridiculous than a woman in a show set in the current time with a female character complaining about "muh patriarchy". They would have had preferential admissions with lower standards at college, preferential hiring when they got their job, and accelerated advancement once hired.
I did this with the Sopranos movie (because I was watching it for Sopranos lore, not to see some entitled Italian slut fuck a black man in graphic detail).
Good strategy, too bad the Sopranos lore in the movie also sucked lol
I'm waiting for a new installment of an "updated" Call of Duty WW2 game where all of the allies are obese, purple-haired POCs, women and trannies, and all of the Nazis are evil, healthy, fit, White heterosexuals. You know, because hystorikul akyurasee.
I can believe people are this dumb. After the blatant bait and switch in media complaints about blacks being portrayed as bullies in Netflix's Wednesday (which was bullshit), you would think people would be alert to "anti-woke" as a marketing strat?
JK Rowling is 99% leftoid. It follows games based in her works will be filled with woke feminist crap.
It's the case of people seeing what they want to and not what's right in front of them. There's probably a more official term for it, but for now I guess I'll just say cope.
I kept telling people this is still made by people that hate you... Retards think they own the troons by buying it or its just astrosurfing.
Even the old HP games were full of "diverse" NPCs. The funny thing is that they would be considered problematic nowadays, as the devs used the exact same 3D models with different textures for skin and eye colors. lol
I'm still baffled how they got away with the banker goblins.
Rates of noticing were dramatically lower back then. It is a full-on viral power meme now.
The way we replaced viral with memes has made me forget just how succinct the former was. It is indeed a virus.
Nothing baffling about it. One needs to be racist in order to see racism.
Same way how word "nigero" means run in japanese yet somehow its racist. Why? Because people view it that way.
Run like a jogger.
It's hilarious it means "run" of all things. Cosmic comedy.
I think it is because people hate it when they are told not to buy something...
Which is then manipulated by marketing teams.
The firearms industry has entered the chat...
I think I've lost count of the posts I've seen on Reddit from liberals, who had a lifelong disinterest in guns, who all the sudden are deciding to panic buy an AR because the shitty government that they voted for decided to ban them in their locality.

That's a strange way of telling the troons to fuck off.

This is always the right call tbh.
The game looks mediocre and it also will be very woke.
There should be no hype at all for this game.
Look at the list of voice actors they recruited.

It's all a marketing campaign. If you fall for it, you're an idiot.
It's funny, because as far as I can tell they aren't marketing shit. It's selling itself because everyone's lost their god damn mind. A self marketing product. Some CEO must be creaming themselves at the thought.
I'm not falling for anything.
It probably started as a marketing campaign, but the trans community is throwing a tantrum and doing the usual flexing and trying to shame/threaten people into not getting it. I want that to fail more than I want the game to fail.
That's why you never pre order. Give it at least a month after release to get the user reviews rolling then make a decision.
Yeah I've long ago stopped paying full price for a damn beta release. I don't mind paying discounted prices for alpha/beta builds if I can contribute (submit bugs, etc) and watch the game grow, but I'm done being some AAA shop's bitch for full price.
I can think the game might be mechanically interesting, and I can enjoy that it pisses trannies off. And also not buy it because it's still woke in other ways.
People just want to consoooooom

Voldemort killed all the minorities because he is Mega Giga Hitler

The Rig Completely broke immersion by having a 50-50 male-female crew.
Only TV show I hit up was "Agent Carter" in the first season. Second season leaned hard on the woke button and I walked away from it by the second ep.
Agent Carter was a solid show. It definitely leaned hard on the "get us some coffee, sweetheart" trope, but at least it was appropriate to the era the show was set in and was integral to the plot.
There's nothing more ridiculous than a woman in a show set in the current time with a female character complaining about "muh patriarchy". They would have had preferential admissions with lower standards at college, preferential hiring when they got their job, and accelerated advancement once hired.
Good strategy, too bad the Sopranos lore in the movie also sucked lol
I didn't feel too bad for her when he took her to the beach afterward.
Just rename it Clownwarts Legacy.
Very clown, very proper.
#monkeypox
I didn’t know the majority of characters were not white. I would’ve let it slide if it was a few, but 75%? Yeah forget that.
True. I kept seeing so many nigger options on the character creation, meanwhile there were barely any of them in the movies. Hard pass for me.
And this is why you do not consoom.
I'm waiting for a new installment of an "updated" Call of Duty WW2 game where all of the allies are obese, purple-haired POCs, women and trannies, and all of the Nazis are evil, healthy, fit, White heterosexuals. You know, because hystorikul akyurasee.
I can believe people are this dumb. After the blatant bait and switch in media complaints about blacks being portrayed as bullies in Netflix's Wednesday (which was bullshit), you would think people would be alert to "anti-woke" as a marketing strat?
JK Rowling is 99% leftoid. It follows games based in her works will be filled with woke feminist crap.
It's the case of people seeing what they want to and not what's right in front of them. There's probably a more official term for it, but for now I guess I'll just say cope.
The best part about this..... rubbing Rowling's face in her bastard creation.
It's because too many people believe that the enemy of their enemy is their friend, and that has never been the case.
It doesn't matter the game, pre ordering is stupid, and the game actually has to be good.
Stop complaining about realism in Harry Potter. The whole thing is fiction. England isn't even a real country.
