Interesting, what if she's a non-virgin but not married?
I can't find a verse that specifically addresses that scenario, but, since a divorced woman would return to her father's house, I suspect this one would apply:
Deuteronomy 22 wrote:
20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
That one is about a man marrying a woman only to discover afterwards that she is not a virgin, but there's a clear condemnation of whoring, i.e. sleeping around.

But what is funny about it? If fathers forcing men who slept with their daughter to marry their daughter, this means that this man wasn't going to build long relationships, used woman and trying to avoid responsibilities, this is sad, I would say tragedy.
Humor doesn't tend to translate well.
Is this became a joke after sexual revolution?
No. If anything it has begun to fade away.

Also, his sister says it's sick if you get homo married. Not even people living in a nuclear holocaust wasteland approve of homo marriage.
She doesn't mind being gay married herself, it's just guys with guys that grosses her out. :P

How is Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines not on the list? Fantastic RPG and not woke at all. Humor feels like old rockstar games, they have no issue with leaning into racial stereotypes and making fun of trannies. Pretty sure the studio behind it went bankrupt unfortunately.

It's 2004-era liberal and all the people responsible for the writing are now 20s-era liberal.

No, the joke is much older than that. It plays on the stereotype of the morally upright (usually but not always oafish, a hick, bumbling etc) father who is trying desperately to corral an uncontrolled, slutty daughter into morally correct and productive behavior. The shotgun wedding is the last ditch effort: "you're going to marry my daughter and make an honest woman out of her or you're going straight to hell, you cad!" - desperate dads, probably (emphasis mine).

I agree that it's not funny at all when considered soberly (it's tragic for the father and rage-inducing as far as the daughter is concerned). Those who play it for laughs get a lot of cheap mileage out of how they choose to portray the situation (remember: the dad is usually an oaf, a hick, bumbling etc in the joke).

I've just started a Solasta playthrough for the first time, and during character creation it offers a "Pronoun" option. Even though I'm enjoying some aspects of the game (it's running at around a 7, maybe 7.5/10 game for me at the mo after around 10-ish hours) that Pronoun option has stuck with me and stopped me from forming a real connection with the game. Even if this goes on to be brilliant, I still won't ever have it as a fave because it feels grounded in dreg-society Real World 2020's due to that shit.
Well it appears to be getting a sequel, it might already be infected due to this event.

I think it's disingenuous to separate 'old' woke from 'new' woke. It's woke, it was woke then.

All of your companions will be insufferable faggots. You can build custom characters but the game focuses a lot of content on the companions. Especially when you have to assign advisors. I used a custom party and used the companions as advisors only. You are also stuck with the lesbian halfling cunt for the whole game and you can’t kill her or get rid of her. The kingdom management straight up sucks, game is a slog and the ending is so bad you might as well just uninstall before playing it. Other than that its okay.

I launched the game yesterday for the first time, heard the annoying whiny halfling girl voice for the first time and promptly quit the game, I was gonna refund but I wanted to get a second opinion first. I also saw an option to automate kingdom management I guess I'll turn that on when I get bored of it. Other than that I'll play it because I really want to play a WRPG (last one I played was Mass Effect LE), if you have any other game I can play instead lay it on me.

It depends on your sensibilities, I do not think that it is so cringe it is unplayable. Most of the game is still entertaining but depending on how stringent you see "progressive" themes you won't like it.

I personally do like Kingmaker and even WOTR a lot, even though the latter has some really insufferable situations and characters, kingmaker has less but yeah still woke.

EDIT: since you really like the halfling girl, guess who you simply can't kill as she is the "narrator" of the story :eyebrows:

My sensibilities are that I hate jews, niggers and faggots. It was only 3 dollars so I'll play it for as long as I can tolerate it as I have no expectations for the game to be even good anyway.

As for the halfling I can just skip her dialog and never talk to her.

If you haven’t played the older classics, I envy you and you should go play Fallout or Baldurs Gate.

I wouldn't recommend it if you haven't played many games in the genre.

I tried playing those but I am too low iq (and a zoomer who grew up playing call of duty) to play or enjoy those games.
I'll check these out, thanks.

I got halfway through Divinity Original Sin 2 before my friends decided they didn't wanna play anymore, I liked the gameplay a lot, plus I loved KOTOR 1 and everything about it.

DA Origins to get used to RTWP mechanics. Stuff like BG is worth learning. :dice2:

That may be a bit much far in the other direction, for me at least, but yeah. I hope you have fun anyways though.

If you don't mind a little bit spoilery, there's only one nigger companion on the entire game - one that wasn't in the original tabletop adventure that the RPG adapts cuz it seems Owlcat couldn't help themselves from adding their token - but said companion is easily skippable, and I do always skip it since the story of said companion is as generic as it gets.

Also, two particular companions are walking faggot stereotypes that I too like to skip in all my runs, even if the game tells me to go liberate them. lol

Other than these three, the rest of the companions are somewhat alright. Even the two "angry warrior wahmahs" are surprisingly submissive to you and are willing to obey what you say.
