Woke Sisters.. I don't feel so good..

Post by Shillitron »

Anyone taking bets how long this will go?
- ESG fund is dead..
- Big companies already pulling out stating "we don't want to cause conflict with our customers"
- Most woke games are flopping / putting companies out of business
- Disney dumping money into the fire
- Starfield ratings below 76, many negative reviews bitching about ESG scores & diversity quotas

It's probably going to keep going until there is a major collapse. I'd guess another 100-200 years.

Yes, I do not buy games with black women on the cover and I have not regretted it.

Death of the Outsider was weird. First and only black in the game at that point, totally unlikable edgelord, and she shares the male body with the nameless assassins. The cover art looks like a zombie is wearing her skin as a mask.

Considering the Microsoft leaks, it appears that even Microsoft does not have unlimited money to fund the propaganda. I was doubtful before, but I believe many publishers will be shifting their money elsewhere after repeated failures β€” either failure in development, or in sales.

Embracer acquired all those studios and their most profitable games are a couple indie game made by a handful of people, and a 15 year old MMORPG. I don't think a single one of their studios has made anything of note, unless you consider a long string of failed ESGslop to be of note. This isn't an exaggeartion, here's a slide from their own meeting a few days ago:

"Get woke go broke" is pure cope. These people have had unlimited control over media for almost a century now.
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

which is funny since her character already appeared in the DLC for the first Dishonored game, and she wasn't black back then.

She was black in Dishonored 1, just lighter skinned with more attractive facial structure and hair. They gave her the mandated ugly and perpetually angry looking black woman look in 2.

It seemed really clear that the Dishonored 2 DLC was meant as a capper to Daud's story and they decided to replace him with Billy when they hired a bunch of diversity consultants.

Less black, but still obviously black.

optimal BEST case scenario is things settle down in 2 generations.

current people are WOKE, and thus they make their kids WOKE, however the kids eventually grow tired of it and become less woke and then THEIR kids grow up normal.

This is the fastest, best-case scenario.

- Most woke games are flopping / putting companies out of business
Only the ones who have the over the top turbo mega cringe wokeness sprinkled with "how are you fellow kids" meme tier clueless zoomerbait are failing, or ones that are really bad games nobody wants to play. Baldur's Gate 3 for example is woke af and it's one of the best selling games of this year. The kind of X-TREME woke games like hyenas that almost seem like a babylon bee parody article will probably go away but the ones with a bit more low key wokeness that is attached to a better designed game(better designed from a normie gamers perspective I'm not saying I play this crap) are here to stay. Ugly/plain looking women are here to stay, just not the black ones i guess, LGBTQ+ is here to stay (plus bestiality like BG3), foid centrism is here to stay, millenial writing is here to stay :/

Yea all of the big actually important cultural battles are beyond lost. Some nothing overwatch clone no one knew about that's just a money laundering scheme funded by UK government grants flopping means nothing lol.

I don't know anything about this franchise, but given that the character existed in the original and apparently passed without comment there, I'm thinking the backlash is mostly politically driven: With so many decisions seemingly being made for political reasons, people will react to decisions apparently made for these reasons negatively even if the true explanation wasn't political. And it may very well be to make her front and center where she used to be a background character, dunno who these people are.

However, nothing wrong with looking perpetually angry. Resting bitchface is my fetish. However, the willful choice of an unattractive protagonist is definitely a bold move, one that doesn't seem to be panning out.

There's a world of difference between some ugly ****** woman at the back of the bus (where ******* belong) and one in the driver's seat, especially when the entry she's starring in also ruins the eldritch trickster god character and then has the strong and sassy Shaniqua kill him off.

Liberals seem to (deliberately) forget that most of the world isn't their Commiefornia bubble. ****** hate *******, Pajeets hate *******, even other ******* hate *******. A game with a white or Asian male protagonist will do well (barring other factors), a game with an attractive female protagonist will do well, but a game with an ugly black ****? You've instantly alienated millions of potential costumers.

It's just asking for lost sales, as Arkane found out, but apparently the lesson didn't stick, because they went on to put another ugly ****** front and center with Redfall and Deathloop, and both were huge flops.

BG3 and Starfield are getting a lot of negative feedback in their forums / steam community pages / reviews over their ESG ******** though.. but unless that translates to lost sales / revenue it's just pissing in the wind. The ***** jannies just ban the whiners and the companies continue to rake in cash by the fistful.

Yeah, like I said: Ugly, unattractive protagonist is a tough sell. And nobody likes Shaniquas. Even the wife doesn't like them, so yeah "even other ******* hate *******".

If we plot this on a continuum left-to-right continuum from your data points of this Stacey Dash <-> Whoopi Goldberg, she would be even more to the left of the spectrum than either of your datapoints. And much angrier eyebrows.
