I'm online and I don't really play as many games but I watch reviews and stuff about the gaming community every now and again (I just bought a Steam Frame 🤦 though ...). The number of these damned gaming commentators complaining about "woke in games" is exhausting. So you have to see what these guys consider "social topics" and it'll unsurprisingly show you their (right leaning) world view. By the way, these commentators just forgive death threats online and say things like "it's all apart of the Internet" but hey ... The new Wolverine game isn't any good because of woke and DEI though.

    I just don't see why they had to make X Men woke? Why does everything have to be about a persecuted minority group finding its standing in a society that fears it?

    (tee hee)

    "but why are there so many people concerned about getting diversity in an X-Men game?? why can't it just be fun??"

    It's really annoying because you know none of this is grounded in reality. They think The Wolverine game isn't any good because they hire someone with a six figure salary to count genders.

    Alternatives exist. There's a guy I listen to named Felix Biederman who has done exhaustive rundowns of Metal Gear Solid and Dark Souls. He manages to get out 4+ hours of content an episode without worrying about "Woke" even once. Then you've got classics like PennyArcade which remain a bastion of politics-neutral gaming content and coverage.

    But if you're just cruising on the back of the algorithm... yeah. Your Asmongolds and Pewdiepies, who go full Hitler because it got attention through negative reaction, are predictably toxic. And then you've got the Mr. Beast style of producer who has turned slopifying the algorithm into a passion project.
