KCD2 was a great litmus test. The game is textbook woke. Forced racial diversity, forced homosexuality, forced judeophilia, none of which was present in the original. Yet huge swathes of our “based” alternative media tried to convince us that it wasn’t woke.
Even better, they tried to use KCD2 as proof that we were paranoid - that we were “calling everything woke”, thereby diluting the meaning of the label. The normies were desperate to claim some kind of high-profile win, and the crypto lefties were simply trying to discredit us, so they all tried to gaslight us into thinking KCD2 wasn’t precisely the sort of propaganda we hate. And it worked on a lot of people.
Arch Warhammer was especially guilty of this. He played several hours and made multiple videos on the thesis that "the right needs to claim things like KCD2"... and he hadn't even gotten to the point in the game where he even met the black muslim or the jew.
He is a textbook conservative. He keeps talking about the how we need to implement a "Tyranny of Neutrality" and force thing to be apolitical. This of course would be locking in the gains that leftism has made, the synthesis of the Hegelian dialectic.
Everyone on the right has forgotten that to get what you actually want you have to take a position to the extreme of that so then you can "compromise" back to the position you want. If someone wanted to compromise back to the 90's like Arch does, then he should be taking the position that sodomy laws, adultery laws and banning divorce need to be reinstated.
Finally, someone else gets it. You can’t start at the compromise position, that’s retarded. Bad deal making. Nobody else ever seems to get that and it’s infuriating.
Its because among honest people that works perfectly fine.
As a cultural example, look at haggling. In America it's viewed as kind quirky at best and downright rude at worst. Price tags exist for a reason, and they present absolute offer. That faith in what you might call "the sanctity of public notice" only exists in a high trust society. The notion of win-win. Of choosing option A in the prisoners dilemma.
If in your core of core you believe in those ideals, it's much harder to set them aside than it is for somebody who doesn't believe in them at all.
Its the same idea as the whole "politeness without capacity for violence is just begging"
Don't forget the endless feminist bullshit and the "oops, we didn't have time to build the inside of churches, but had time to make gay sex scenes" bullshit. Anyone that ever worked in game or software development knows the churches could have been made in literally one day.
KCD2 was the only game I actually planned to buy on launch for full price in the last I don't know how many years. Until the leaks came and that cunt dropped his mask on Twitter. Now I don't even consider pirating it.
Same. I really liked the first game, warts and all, but hearing about the black muslim who is superior to you in every way, and how you're railroaded into helping jews, then seeing the lead developer say "this is not a Christian game" put me off. Diabolical of him to put that shit well beyond the two hours of playtime you're allowed before demanding a refund.
That was an absolutely retarded statement of his. Nobody gave a shit if it was a 'Christian game'. Whatever the fuck thats supposed to mean in the first place. But what people did gave a shit about is if it was a historical accurate game which it definitely isn't.
I honestly believe kcd2 is an astroturfed game. It's boring to play, unrewarding to progress the story and a complete abandonment of historical authenticity. The people saying positive things about were generally just murder hoboing.
Or they're just generally the sorts of people who can't stand by their convictions. The sorts that let the DEI shit creep in, en masse, in the first place.
"Oh it's just a little bit of forced diversity. You're just paranoid. It's not a big deal.Just a little historical inaccuracy, just a little propaganda. Just a little retardation. Just a little bit of faggotry."
Worst of all, this isn't even like nitpicking territory. The game garnered some pretty clear legitimate critiques. Yet so many people are so resistant to open their eyes or to admit that they're being hog washed.
They are the gamer equivalent of coomers. They can’t say no to a “good game” even when it’s made by people who hate them and laced with leftist propaganda. There are already more great video games than any one person could fully play in a lifetime. Every game you choose to play represents a opportunity cost. You’re not “missing out” by skipping the latest pozzed garbage that happens to be relatively well designed.
One of the things that convinced me most was the realization that "just a little" only went one way. It was always "give up a bit" never matched with "getting a bit" frog boiling and all.
"Voting machine glitches" Okay fine, but it's always in favor of one party.
"We just picked the best actor" Okay but it's always replacing a white person.
Kind of depends on the issue. Gamers can be picky as hell on some things, but less so on others. They definitely let things slide pretty damned fast when it came to microtransactions though.
Yeah, that was hugely satisfying to have them get swept in every award category. Looks like selling out and stabbing all your fans in the back from the first game by pozzing the sequel with ESG crap in hopes the people who hated you before would suddenly love you isn't a good strategy. Now no one likes them, and they deserve it.
For the establishment it still carries too much of a genetic taint of KCD1, which was the biggest nazi white supremacist success in years for the sin of daring to depict an all white region in an all white era. It was shut out of the Game Awards in 2018. Remember that industry unpersoning for not including black people, which Vavra and the cucks now pretend never happened?
KCD2's barest sliver of defence was that 'yOuRe JuSt PaRaNoId u nAzI', so if Vavra was suddenly and publicly welcomed into the luvvie fold for the sequel, it would make it all just a bit too obvious what happened. So this is probably a mixed outcome for Vavra.
There was a ridiculous amount of woke shit in that game. The kang was just a drop in the bucket. It's extra jarring for me because I played KCD1 and KCD2 back to back. So I was baffled at how subverted the sequel was.

Arch is an absolute cuck. He was on side scrollers a while back saying that he finds septum piercings attractive.
He is a textbook conservative. He keeps talking about the how we need to implement a "Tyranny of Neutrality" and force thing to be apolitical. This of course would be locking in the gains that leftism has made, the synthesis of the Hegelian dialectic.

Its the same idea as the whole "politeness without capacity for violence is just begging"
Criminalizing adultery and heavily discouraging divorce is just the bare minimum for maintaining a functional civilization honestly.
What if we want to compromise back to the 1890s?
Start calling for monarchy, burning witches, and expelling jews.
Don't forget the endless feminist bullshit and the "oops, we didn't have time to build the inside of churches, but had time to make gay sex scenes" bullshit. Anyone that ever worked in game or software development knows the churches could have been made in literally one day.
Its normie rightoid slop.

Anyone praising the game are either payed or leftists happy they turned one of the few based developers

Sure bud.
gamers always had the lowest standard when it comes to consumer group.
Kind of depends on the issue. Gamers can be picky as hell on some things, but less so on others. They definitely let things slide pretty damned fast when it came to microtransactions though.
Bingo. That's basically every male I know. They just suck down slop to fit in and make excuses for it.
kingdom come in a man's ass
Expedition 33 winning a record number of awards is an act of incredible justice. Just when you think no genuine artists can get recognized.

Hah! Good riddance to the message. I hear Clair obscure won a bunch which is great news.
