Okay, now do another study on how woke culture has changed the mental health and suicide rates of straight people.
I guarantee you there’s been some negative impact there.
I do not own that game, but I would avoid this at all cost with what I do know.
It’s so woke that I’m actually worried it’s going to infect the minds of impressionable youth out there.
Every main character is some woke caricature, you work alongside nu-communists (you even meet an old communist, who shocker, is less crazy than the new communists).
Still not enough? Multiple missions are devoted to helping a woman who thinks she‘s a man repay people for multilating her body. Actual line of dialog says something like “Once your revolution is over, mine begins.” I almost died from the cringe and the absolute state of gaming in 2021.
It's pushed by mentally ill people that we almost never classify as mentally ill nowadays, I'm really not sure what else to expect at this point.
Like u/Kaarous said, this entire train of madness comes from evil intentions disguised as good.
Proverbs 6:16-19 & Ephesians 6:10-20.
That's an uninstall from me. I don't play games with "Type 1" and "Type 2" instead of men and women.
Too bad, looks like I'll just keep it in the library for the campaign, since I'm way past the refund mark (but my guess is Reach's campaign has now been ruined by this stupidity).
Paul would say cast 'em out. You can't fraternize with those that get in the way with your relationship with God/Jesus or lead you into sin.
You should pray for them of course, that God heals their life, but that kind of rhetoric has no place in the church. It's literal blasphemy.
It’s got heavy connections to Black Rock and is the originator of “Build Back Better” and “The Great Reset”. Look up Klaus Schwab’s words for some nightmare fuel.
The WEF is probably worse.
Anybody keeping traditional manners/etiquette alive inside Clown World gets a round of applause from me.
Well, here’s the reality to that statement:
Studies have shown that if men and women are left to hire whoever they want (without diversity/inclusion nonsense) men will hire men and women will hire women. I think the test cases came out to be 75% male with a male hiring manager and 80% female for a female manager. It’s just because both genders feel more comfortable hiring someone that has more in common with them.
I don’t see anything wrong with that (let them succeed or fail on their own), but again, it has to be fair for both sides. Diversity laws around the world prevent men from making certain teams with their hiring quotas, along with men being constantly demonized in most workplace discussions.
"I'M GOING TO THE ONE PLACE STILL UNTOUCHED BY GAMERGATE!
...S P A C E !"
Of course, because that's how subversion works. You censor one little thing because "at least it's not as bad as other bad thing", and it snowballs from there. You sound like the people talking about MK 10 having more conservative designs wasn't too bad, which eventually led to MK11's situation.
I know where this path leads, because we've been on it before with Western games. I just wish we weren't following it again :(
Scarlet Nexus is more bland than anything, I felt the staff were neutering themselves in terms of creativity.
Arise is pretty darn preachy (especially about colonialism). I felt a more left-wing Western audience was the target for Arise, which among other things is why I skipped it.
No, diversity is absolutely a bad thing.
When you buy into the belief that diversity is good, you automatically lose any argument against wokeism, because then you have to obey with Leftist’s standards.
I’ve come to realize that a cohesive and shared understanding is often better than “diverse opinions”, as that usually moves things forward more smoothly.
…Sorry, but the mouth corporate speak was in regards to Tales of Arise, Tekken, and Scarlet Nexus.
Scarlet Nexus has VERY conservative character designs, but if you look at its artbook, you’ll actually find they were supposed to be (only a little, but still) less covered up. They changed the characters for Western (American) standards.
No bikini costumes for the newest woman character in Tekken, that’s a huge red flag given some interviews with Harada in contrast to their absence.
Arise is a huge can of worms, lots of info about how it was made for Westerners. I consider it a WRPG, and didn’t buy it because of how soulless it looked compared to the past entries. Taking inspiration from Life is Strange, the typical “slavery bad” plot you see to pander to Westerners, a dumbed-down combat system, and the cherry on top: censorship. The collaboration costumes are all censored compared to their original counterparts, and I’ve never seen the other alternate costumes you can unlock be this tame before in the series. Arise was a huge (but sad) pass for me.
Some people do, as a sort of "post-modern irony hate-play" (TLOU2 was a big one for those types).
It's just ends with giving money/attention to people who hate you, so I have no idea how that twisted buying motivation picked up any steam. I guess it's another byproduct of Clown World.

AAhhhh, my old high-sea sailing waters. How nostalgic. :)
I keep praying for America, it seems like that country's main goal right now is to ruin the entire world with its insanity.
Rune Factory 5 has been completely pozzed. XSeed (the localizing Californian side of Marvelous), demanded the devs put gay marriage in their game, despite the original having established relationships already.
Nobody except the woke are happy, because instead of fixing bugs or the frame-rate issues (game regularly runs at 15 fps), Marvelous (the Japanese) opted to give into its woke counterpart instead. Both the JP & the international versions are going to have this change forced upon them.
Marvelous is another company I have to add to my blacklist now, unfortunately.
I want you to consider how your current-day words relate to past arguments against SJWs. Don’t use the same positions that led Western stuff to be infested with wokesters.
That’s not “bad faith”, and I’m not trying to rile you up. I’m offering you advice based on what I’ve seen over the years.
God bless you and I hope you take care.
I don’t really care.
I thought you might not, but I at least wanted to bring it up so you could think about it. If we don’t want to repeat the past, we can’t make the same mistakes. That kind of thought will lead to the same sadness we have today.
Japanese consumerism dictates what is sold. With global influence, that's changing
Thanks to the Western influence, some of my favorite genres only occasionally get new entries, instead of multiple games/series per season. I don’t understand why a majority of people think more Western money is a good thing.
Okay, now you’re definitely falling prey to the classic GamerGate argument. By putting forth that sentence, you’ve accepted diversity as a virtue/positive. Anime does not need diversity in any aspect. Diversity is not a positive. Variety maybe, but NOT diversity.
Then you said it was undeniable. I mean, you’ve SEEN the weirdos all over the Internet who DO deny it and want to inject wokeness as part of their denial. The article posted even touches on that denial.
You’re trying to use the same argument that did not work in the West. I think using that argument will be just as ineffective today as it was back then.
I wouldn’t use the “many types for many folks” position. I know it sounds good and makes you feel good, but it sounds oddly familiar to the “nobody is trying to take your games away” arguments from yesteryear.
The default is that you're supposed to submit to your authority figures to honor God. If a Christian doesn't find the evidence necessary to say, "actually, I think my authority figures are doing evil", then they'll go along with their authority figure.
I think the vaccines would harm people, breaking the commandment of "Do not murder", so I have not taken it. I've tried to tell my friends/family about it. I also trust even if the world goes completely under, God will provide for us all.
Fun fact (repeat from a previous comment), the discourse we and the woke use is intentionally secular and antagonistic as a way to undermine a religious harmony. Our modern way of discourse was proposed by Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault in their own times. All came from religious backgrounds, all ended up being extremely atheist.
I think that Ancient Greek/Roman wouldn't be the best friends in combating woke stuff. Their philosophies are closer to woke than you might think, it's just the self-identifying stuff they believed in wasn't taken to the extremes the woke have taken them. I'd also like the world to avoid repeating their collapse.
I also think paganism is bad in general, there's too many modern-day people call themselves wiccans and practice harmful things. I know a few and hope they stop their practice and find peace in God. I don't think they're by default bad people, just lost.
I agree, but always make sure to let people know:
The Environmental, Social, and Governance criteria (ESG) is the de facto ranking of how woke a company is to the stock market, with more incentives/less punishments given for being overtly woke.
ESG is not common knowledge like “woke” and “politically correct” are, so you’ve got to repeat its meaning/purpose ad nauseam everywhere for it to sink into the normies’ brains.
That stupid concept alone is why “Go Woke, Get Broke” rarely works anymore for the big companies.
