It ain’t a conspiracy… Biggest genuinely just don’t like what they perceive as woke. It is legitimately that shallow. There’s no new ones there’s no gotcha there’s no conspiracy. It’s just a bunch of assholes being assholes.
Between the anti-woke conspiracism and the outright racism, transphobia and general bigotry, I don’t know how anyone can use those forums for anything. Genuinely the most toxic and hate-filled forums I’ve ever used in my 30-odd years of internetting.

It’s not a conspiracy, they really don’t like woke, see new Gears of War, Dragon Age, Concord

If customers actually had a problem with however these morons define “woke”, The Odyssey, Barbie, and Baldur’s Gate 3 wouldn’t have made billions of dollars. And if you want to look to boogeymen for those three games failing (the first one is even subjective), it’s Game Pass, retrofitting a project into different designs twice, and being extremely late to the live service party.

You know woke is a good thing right? It has only been "weaponised" by bigots.

This user is a conservative and a transphobe. I tagged them as such months ago

Wait you can tag people on Lemmy? Is it like RES, or a built-in feature?

I look up game info on the steam forums several times a week, and I have found them significantly less contentious than lemmy. I don’t remember ever seeing a “woke” thread. I assume it’s because it’s largely contained to AAA games and I’m usually playing indie games?
In any case I think it’s an exaggeration to call them “unusable”.
