Which ones are they listing? I’m a bit out of the bigotry loop.

And somehow this game is never part of the examples that some bigots are listing when talking about woke games.
Similarly with Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3. Both of those games are gay as fuck.

Usually it is any game that has a woman as a main protagonist.
The biggest examples are:
Horizon Zero Dawn
There was “controversy” where devs were releasing promotional material for the game and they released a video where they showcased graphical advancements and they zoomed in really close on the MC and you can see the very thin hair on her face that literally every person has. Some people didn’t like that.
The Last of Us 2 - very masculine woman
Fable - Not released yet, but the trailer had a woman that is not conventionally attractive.
Dragon Age Vanguard
Life is strange
Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet - new Naughty Dog’s game, Black Woman as MC
This is just from the top of my head.

That’s ridiculous, especially the Horizon one. On a positive note, I had no idea there is an upcoming Fable game, cheers!

Cyberpunk got a lot of hate by that crowd leading into release, and they dunked on the release a ton as if it vindicated them.

It’s obvious they’ve never read any of Mike Pondsmith’s stuff if they think gender and sexuality in the Cyberpunk universe is any way at all viewed from a conservative lense.

I mean, they were just chuds angry that you could have a character with male and female sexual characteristics, I don’t think any of them had the brainpower to read.

Well, yeah. That would require them to actually read and use their brain, and that’s liberal shit.

I only saw hate on release for bugs and for the way it ran. Not for being woke. Idk
