I think the thing I hate the most in this world is when leftists lie about their beliefs and goals when called out. They have absolutely no conscience whatsoever. The ease with which they say "It's not happening, and it's a good thing" makes me instantly mentally tag them as a cockroach, with all the same disgust and hate I'd feel from seeing one scurry under the fridge.

A cockroach can't help being what it is. Those "people" willingly and deliberately engage in revolting behavior, so they're worse.

They are evil and need to be purged like the Chaos cultists they are.

3 things I found interested about the article:

  1. Synth man is mentioned - this is cool since he is the only youtuber that calls out woke in games without sugarcoating it or apologizing it. Even called out The Critical Drinker about having black people in Norse mythology. The Drinker basically said it is fantasy so why not.

  2. RayGun is still relevant apparently? and now a lefty? How long until he no longer considers himself white but latinx?

  3. Woke is used with a negative connotation by leftists. It means that "being woke" is considered a negative even by the readers of the trash media.

synth man?

syntheticman - he is a youtuber that reviews games and game related movies/ series

He is a bit of a doomer and he criticizes everything. He calls out woke stuff even in games that he likes and he does not care about dislikes. He enjoys older games, horror and platformers are his favorite.

He recently had Mauler do a hit piece on him, 2 and a half ours, because Synth did not like GOW: Ragnarok

Lol synth is a retard though. Just being half right doesn't not make him a retard. His video was retarded and a hit piece he made against himself.

Witch video was retarded? If it is about his GOW review, he made very good points on Ragnarok, to much walking and stupid puzzles, story was some marvel level shit but it is being praised as a masterpiece, feminist angle, forced diversity, Odin being meh, Kratos being a beta and Atreus getting way to much spotlight considering how annoying he is.

He did get some points wrong with motivation and some events.

The video was a mixed bag, he clearly rushed it and he has no one to QA his videos.

The game is definitely no masterpiece but it may be just me hating movie games.

I just found it ridiculous how he was complaining about handholding because he actually was so stupid he needed the handholding. I agree the handholding was stupid though.

If the handholding is annoying 99% of the time and that 1% of the time is marginally useful. as it would take you 5 mins to solve it does not mean the dude was stupid. He is on stream and that messes with your head. It happens to me sometimes if I'm tiered or, in his case, a bit drunk. It seems very extreme to jump to he is stupid. It sounds more like something that pretentious retarded leftist mauler would use.

How come you watched his stream if you think the dude is stupid? That seems off to me.

I watched the 5 hour video that was a replay of his stream. Dude us an idiot struggling with a basic bitch video game and whining about jews. He certainly needed it more than 1% help because he repeatedly fucked up and couldn't use basic logic that should be available to anyone with an IQ of 100. Half the problem was his inability to read.

The guy just comes off as a fucking moron and it's dad to see anyone take him seriously. It just personally irks me to see incompetence like that in a man.

Was it the book that changed him or was he always this bad? His GOW take was just awful to the extent you actually hope he was paid for it

The Scotsman is of the "It is better to have a good story with a hint of Communism than good Communism with a hint of story" vein.

He's good at dunking on media that sacrifice their core value (entertainment) for The Message, but I've never heard him disavow the message itself.

A part of me might - I say 'might' - be able to look past all the troon grooming and CRT in the Dead Space remake...

Except...

Just...

Why, oh fucking why do they have to make EVERYONE so fucking ugly. Without exception. Isaac looks like a fucking goob, Kendra looks like an irate dyke, Hammond looks like a dweeb, and Nicole looks like Isaac really, really likes his grannies for dating.

'Buh buh buh they now look like their voice actors' - Fuck off, don't care. This isn't a fucking movie. I want a goddamn game with a silent protagonist that I can self-insert into that atleast looks halfway badass, in an everyman sort of way. Barring that, atleast make the characters look good.

Bleh. Fuck EA and fuck the Dead Space remake.

Being attractive is a right wing dog whistle. This is why all the leftists you see are fucking hideous. Bio-Leninism.

For those who aren't familiar with the term bio-leninism, I highly recommend reading this series of 3 blog posts on the subject:

but there is evidently a small segment of gamers who have been angered by some additional changes related to representation, accusing the game of political correctness

that's wokeness, you fucking snake.

I don't know if I'd go as far as calling it 'woke', but I'd definitely say it has shit writers compared to the original as they have no clue what ambiguity and mystery mean in horror.

I sometimes think woke is a cop out from saying 'you're shit at your job and trying to claim ideology is the reason you're shit at your job'

They did change a lot of things for ideological reasons, to adapt for modern audiences. Does it mean this is woke? Not sure.

Someone mentioned that a lot of logs (the ones I never read) mention gay relationships. Like most of them. But at this point in time, with 23% of young people identifying as alphabet people, is this woke or just reality? I may not like the way clown world is changing but it is no denying it is changing.

Having gender ideology in the future also looks like a certainty at this point.

Even having diversity in everything and F capitalism messages, isn't that just the norm for large companies? How many anti-capitalists are posting from their iPhone while working for Google or Amazon. When was the last time white people are put in posters. If anything there are to many white people.

The fact that we are not sure just means that the overtone window has shifted considerably to the left. At this point, what is woke anymore? Would 2 hairy drag queen fucking be considered woke anymore? And if it is, for how long?

Black pill moment for me, the culture is forever changed to the left.

That's like saying "the game features normalization of MAPs because it's become legalized. Is it woke if they're just reflecting reality?"

Yes. The simple answer is YES!

They are reinforcing woke ideology through cultural cultivation. And the whole point is to get people to stop questioning it or reacting negatively to it because it's become "normalized".

How do you people still not see this? They will keep pushing and keep making degenerate ideas normalized, and they are doing this through every facet of societal interaction in Western culture.

It's people like you who will eventually succumb to this normalization, because you don't see it (or refuse? Not sure which).

I usually try to avoid commenting here but this kind of naiveté is absolutely grating, because the people here are supposed to be aware of what's happening, not making excuses for it or accepting it as normal.

Once you start accepting and conceding their ideas, you've already lost.

It's woke, plain and simple.

The original Deadspace did not promote homosexual relationships in the game. Adding it to the remake is changing an old story to meet current sociopolitical trends. It's to reinforce ideas to make people like you react exactly the way you have, which is generally: It's everywhere in society, therefore it's normal that it's everywhere in media.

But it's all circular: it's everywhere in society because it's everywhere in media. A never-ending ouroboros of agitprop. They will keep pushing and normalizing this frame of thought to keep moving the Overton Window further Left.

But this is all a waste, because if people don't see it now, nothing I type here will get through to those who haven't seen how cultivation theory is being used to change how people perceive the normalization of sociopolitical propaganda.

It is mildly demoralizing to see how many people on this board make excuses for modern woke crap so they can merely consoom. There is plenty of old media to entertain yourself with, though some leftist messaging is still present of course.

If you want a little white pill so you don't go full doomer on us, take this into account.

Despite all this media 'appealing to modern audiences' and whatever polling might say about the current younger generations, most of them either flop at box office/sell numbers or barely scrape even.

You know what made a killing last year? Top Gun Maverick

I think there is a big disconnect between what people say they support, appreciate and want more of and what they ACTUALLY will spend money on or time to watch and the big companies can't tell that difference.

So the the Overton window has shifted more left (in the West only really) in what people claim is permissable but in reality, they like the classic traditional stuff.

I'm slowly watching series 12 right now. The creators realized they make more money just releasing it, but they take their time. Alan won by blowing a feather across a table with his nose in the fastest time.

FINALLY! Now we have some logical guidelines to label stuff woke!

Although also add in the women can't look like that one hot friends mom you knew that made you realise what puberty is...
