At least he's finally addressing the actual issues but, yeah...doesn't do much to alleviate concern.

I said it before, but I don't have a horse in the race. I won't be playing it on launch, maybe ever. Just not what I'm in the mood for. I hope the game is non-woke, because fuck woke games. I hope gamers get to enjoy a good game. I don't wish ill on anyone. But, yeah, still some big red flags.

wild claims...apparently based just on one screenshot

Goes on to confirm them.

As much as I don’t like "forced diversity", nobody was forcing us to do anything, and we are not forcing anyone to do certain things.

There's got to be a better way to say that. "As much as" makes it sound like he was forced to put stuff in. Then again, English isn't his first language.

If you want Henry to try a same-sex adventure, feel free. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. All affairs are (and were in KCD1) purely optional. The characters are perfectly aware, that it was a forbidden sin.

"Same-sex adventure," really? Could be tongue in cheek, but it's weird he's so casual, even whimsical on that, then goes on to call it a sin. Pick a lane.

diverse

OOF. Even playing their language game is not a good sign.

Everything displayed corresponds to the morals and social norms of 1403 Bohemia and is only there to make an interesting story, and not at all to appeal to a “modern audience".

I hope this is true, for the sake of people who want to play the game. And I'm glad he got the "modern audience" dig in there at least. We'll have to wait and see if he's telling the truth though.

We don't want KCD to be used as clickbait by people who didn't even play it yet. Some of them sadly turned into exactly the same narrative they pretend to be fighting against. The amount of hateful behavior is really sad and it will damage any cause associated with it.

Basically more "woke right" nonsense.

I get being passionate about your game, but he comes off as a whiner here, and not the based dude he was acting like the first time around.

Again, time will tell. I hope the rumors aren't true, and it is all blown out of proportion. But still some big warning signs.

Grummz is also talking about this, with more information. Make of it what you will.
