This is entirely on brand for Sony. Don’t forget, this is the same company that installed a rootkit on people’s computers for the audacity of checks notes putting their music CD into their computer.

Huh… I assumed from the shitty date format you were from burgerland, but it’s hard to tell when the day is below 13.

- Comment on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Director Says It Did Gay Romance "Right" By Not Going "Woke" 3 weeks ago:
a general perception of modern media lazily inserting LGBT characters without integrating them more deeply into the setting or narrative.
And that complaint is an example of the issue. You’re effectively complaining about normalization of LGBT+ characters and relationships, so you see it as lazy, instead of tokenizing them and making them some kind of not-just-a-normal-person character.

i.e. in describing a self-righteous, superficial, performative and preachy kind of style - and he wants to distance himself from that style.
LOL, this is exactly what I’m talking about, because we agree to a point that woke replaced those words. But those words as well were just nice ways of complaining that minorities existed.
The “social justice warrior” moniker was only ever BRIEFLY your definition, because it was quickly picked up by rightoid chuds as a thought terminating epithet they could say without getting booted for saying slurs. Saying that’s what it means now is just carrying water for the people who use it as an epithet, because your definition does not match common usage. I watched the change happen from that side of the fence, and it was part of what woke me up to the reality of the situation, and see through the lies people pushed (that unsurprisingly sounded a lot like what I’m hearing in this conversation).

…why do you think he has to say he’s not “doing that woke shit” while doing nothing particularly different from “that woke shit”? He had to get on front of people who agree with him who were going to cry about a gay romance existing, but now they have a narrative to follow when it comes up.
In other words, “it’s different when we do it”

You don’t know what other kinks they have. There could easily be cuck or paypig or hotwife kink aspects involved that explain the wording.
Maybe it’s because I’m poly and have a wide circle of kinky and poly friends that this doesn’t seem even remotely implausible.
- Comment on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Director Says It Did Gay Romance "Right" By Not Going "Woke" 3 weeks ago:
I think his comments refer to the implementation of the romance in the way that it doesn’t feel like it was put there so the studio could boast about how progressive they are.
Big “I’m doing the thing I complain about, but it’s different when I do it” energy from this statement.

In a lot of places, not just far-right assholes, the word “woke” has taken on the role of terms like “social justice warrior” and “political correctness” - i.e. in describing a self-righteous, superficial, performative and preachy kind of style.
LOL no, “woke” is anything that acknowledges LGBT+ individuals exist and have a right to live their lives as they want is woke. These fucking snowflakes cry about being asked to pick fucking pronouns, even when there is 0 impact on the game.
Crying ‘woke’ instantly tells me all I need to know about someone. The same goes for people who try to pretend it’s about preaching a message instead of acknowledging these people can and do exist.
What the man seems to me to be trying to say is that their goal was to do a medieval gay romance in a way that was not preachy or superficial – is that not good? Isn’t there a bit too much token representation and pinkwashing going on?
And you’re parroting the message loud and clear. Acknowledging their existence is always tOkEn RePrEsEnTaTiOn
- Comment on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Director Says It Did Gay Romance "Right" By Not Going "Woke" 3 weeks ago:
included optional gay content
Claims to not be woke
Seriously tho, what in the actual fuck is this guy trying to say, other than trying to appeal to rightoids while doing the same thing the games he is bitching about do. They constantly cry about ThE wOkE aGeNdA when you can select pronouns that LITERALLY have 0 impact on gaming, but apparently including WoKe content is ok if you’re on their side.

Sure, but I’d the dev wants to patch out unintended behavior or mechanics, they can do that as well. If the player wants to play with broken mechanics, install mods like the rest of us.

It could also just be that your parents are polyamorus and don’t know how to have that conversation with you. I have friends who have lots of short and long term partners that aren’t in the business world at all, they’re just poly. And honestly, poly is nice cuz you can get your needs met even if your primary partner isn’t into that.

Those that get it done for medical reasons being called mutilation would be offensive.
Right, because they weren’t mutilated, they had to have a procedure done for a medical reason.
Any non-medically necessary surgery to a child’s genitals is mutilation. They have no way to consent, and anything short of a medical necessity is the parent making massive changes to their child’s life based on their preferences. To make the point crystal clear:
- If I have a kid and the arm ends up gangrenous, we would remove it as it would be medically necessary
- If I have a kid and think it’s cool to have one arm, I would be trying to mutilate my child by removing it
How is performing a medically unnecessary surgery on a child’s genitals not mutilation? Again, you’re changing their body surgically without their consent for no reason aside from ignorant beliefs.

Yes, that would be correct. I’m in a poly throuple, so I also have partners outside of my relationship.

Yeah, it really depends on the person. I’m fairly average, but one of my partners struggles to go down super far just because of a small mouth/gag reflex. My wife on the other hand will bury it to the hilt like she’s trying to hold Excalibur

You’re going to have to reserve extra time to bike to work, because unless you live super close, you’re adding commute time due to using a slower vehicle.
That’s not a point against biking to work, but please don’t pretend like you can swap commute methods and not have to reserve extra time to accommodate it.
