Ah, there's hope for you yet. Glad to hear it.
That's a faulty premise. Why must an unpozzed western game exist in this decade? If it doesn't exist, then it doesn't. That doesn't make Sandfall "based" by comparison, nor it makes the game less pozzed by comparison. In order for this line of argument to hold any water, you would have to reply to
me claiming a game is
not pozzed and the devs are "******* based". But, it is you who made that claim and, as such, it is you who would have to substantiate the claim, if you will.
But, as a token of good faith, I will try to oblige with your request but first, I would need you to define what you consider a "western" game. Is a game from Russian devs "western"? I know you don't mean American, because E33 is French. I will assume that you mean "non-Asian" so not Japanese, Korean or Chinese.
For one, Dominion 6 (2024) is not pozzed as far as I recall but its from Swedes. Is that "western" enough for you?
Intravenous I and II (2024) where developed by a single dev from Lithuania, if I recall correctly and doesn't have any pozz ****.
Project Wingman (2020) doesn't have ******* by virtue of never showing the face of any character. But none speak like ******* and there is no girlboss in sight. Most characters with names and lines are men. Your WSO if you fly a 2 seater plane is a woman, Prez and one of your wingmen is a woman, while the other is a man. But, female fighter pilots exist and are properly rare. If I recall correctly, I don't remember any other female pilot in the game and even those aforementioned two never belittle Monarch (the Player character) or go against him and Monarch is the leader of Sicario (the mercenary fighter group). It was made by Aussies.
I am sure there are more. And I grant you that is not as easy to encounter them and I am not claiming the devs are "based", only that those games where released within the last decade and do not have woke **** in them and that I like them well enough to recommend them and I picked three that were from very different genres and gameplay styles.
You can express the opinion that the amount of faggotry and pozz in E33 is not enough for you turn your nose and, as you have already expressed, that the woman garbage writing was to your liking but that doesn't mean that because of it, the story is well written or the game is not pozzed or the devs are "based". That exact line of thinking is what gave Bavra the chance to do the bait and switch with Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Developers should be judged according to the last game they published because they are not a single entity. Specially not Sandfall who clearly is not indie and even had a movie deal before the game release. Just you wait until the movie or whatever comes next turns out so woke it will make BG3 blush.
