If you were to pinpoint a time when would you say woke nonsense/sjw garbage creeped into gaming? I remember I used to love gaming magazines until they couldn’t shut up about diversity or women in gaming or articles saying how evil gamers were. My personal favorite are female gamers who talk about verbal abuse they get when they play online. At first I was sympathetic until I realized that verbal abuse is pretty common online.
Women can be great developers or programmers but hiring a woman for gorge sake of it is dumb. Same with men. And people get furious if you say you just want to play a game.
Main games I play now are Skyrim, Fable Deluxe, and the Sims. I’m really excited about Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield but I hope Bethesda doesn’t go crazy. Also hope next Fable game is good. Sorry for rant.
Yeah, RE5's "racism" from 2007 is probably the earliest I remember that's close enough to today's wokescolds. Before that it was mostly focused on violence and some sex, but usually with a "think of the children" angle not a broad social justice one.
Though I'm sure there were probably some feminists screeching about Tomb Raider back in the 90s, I just never saw it.
