Comment on NCSoft president: "The games industry's evolution towards acceptance and diversity is ongoing"
DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 month agoWhy don't people call that woke?
Because this whole woke bullshit is a recent gamergate thing of the past decade or so, especially after US politics became even nuttier and "conservatives" completely started to lose their plot.
And please. Just go into the Steam forums of a game that has for example a poc woman as main character, or uses body type A & B instead of "male" & "female". There's literally countless of examples of people completely losing their shit over games, movies and shows over the recent years. Hell, even in this very comment section here we see people who think they as a white man are apparently underrepresented nowadays.

Well yeah. The vast majority of people identify as male or female.
When the game goes to “body type A and body type B” they are erasing those people’s opportunity to feel represented in the game.
Diversity does not mean removing options for a person to feel represented.
This is an excellent example of where the concepts of “woke” and “diverse” not only differ but are in opposition to one another.

No, they're not. There literally was no option that got removed, just something changed to include more people than before.
But thanks for proving my point. Maybe I shouldn't have given the Cybertruck defender the benefit of the doubt here.
