Jesus christ I'll take a "no" on this one
It's worth keeping an eye on it. Historical accuracy was (and hopefully still is) one of the team's main aims, so it's conceivable it'll still turn out as it should.
First game was crowdfunded, so it was backers paying for a historically accurate game.
Deep Silver is footing the bill this time around, and they just put out a woke Saints Row Reboot even after they did an "investigation" into why Agents of Mayhem bombed after it went woke. They published Red Thread's Dream Fall Chapters, a developer who made one of their lead male characters that was popular with the female players, gay, and the community manager made sure to rub that in on the forums. I'm sure there are other examples, but those were the standout ones.
In short, they are part of the circle of ESG publishers. Expecting them to be "based" and "redpilled" is a fool's errand at this point.
Lethn is right, anyone saying that the sequel will be historically accurate even while it's being funded by a converged publisher is coping hard.
IIRC the crowdfunding for the original game raised a shitload of money but they still ended up finding a publisher to get more. It was a company owned by Bakala, one of the Czech oligarchs.
