The whole thing is largely a massive cultural misunderstanding I think. Vávra isn't woke or some shit, he's just a painfully normie dude (and yes, he's notoriously bad at handling criticism too).
"Woke" or not, though, he definitely still deserves criticism. He hasn't been honest, and he did a total about-face on alleged "historical realism" and other things. He stated "Henry is straight," and 'black people weren't there.' Now he and his people are hiding being stupid lib talking points about how there could have been potentially maybe black people and stuff.
And his handling of criticism, as you say, is awful as well. He's massively attacking the people who initially supported him. He deserves the negative attention aimed his way, cultural misunderstanding or no. He's not behaving well. He's lying, and he's attacking fans.
Yeah, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve criticism - it's just that with a lot of it, it's painfully obvious to me that people are massively misunderstanding what he's saying, partly due to the language barrier that machine translations can't overcome, and partly because of cultural differences, or just simple misunderstandings, and some of it is just people looking to get offended, building on those misunderstandings. I don't like it because it waters down legitimate criticism, and because it's aggravating how dumb it is.
Vávra didn't have to put a preachy gay muslim nigger into the game and I hate that he did, he's handling the situation extremely badly, and what pissed me off the most was the embargo the publisher apparently put on any information about the game before the release - that's what publishers do with shit games like Tranny Age, they know everyone will hate it so they're trying to get people to impulse-buy before they find out. But I can't fault him for telling off some retard groyper with a black sun avatar calling him a jew on twitter, telling him to fuck off was a completely reasonable reaction.
And then there's shit like... I keep seeing people on here screech about the golden ballsack that he has hanging from the mirror of his Bentley. I've seen it myself, it's just a 1 euro trinket from Aliexpress, and the whole thing is a joke aimed at shitlibs. (He parks the Bentley in downtown Prague where he lives; having a fist-sized piece of gold hanging off your mirror would be a great way to get your car broken into.)

I wrote a longer comment about it a while back, but I was a day late to the thread (like I am now once again) so noone saw it. https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/19AKAxPFxB/x/c/4ZHmTLuM3Rl?d=50
I saw it and upvoted. These days it's not enough to not be woke. You have to be actively anti-woke.
Interesting, I'll check it out.
