Of course, it's going to be woke. At the very least, it will be a diversity festival.

The vast majority of WH40K books of the last 5 years have, at least, one black on the cover.

The woke has been building up for years, fanboys didn't want to see it. That's why you buy used plastic on ebay. The trouble is, the only two times I've encountered ******** in the wild were at game shops, and that's who you'll be playing with.

Just some observations for possible input.

Back to the Dawn:

As much as I enjoyed this game, at least three minor characters are gay and you can supposedly tell the sex one is attracted to just by the color of the dialogue box (blue for one who's attracted to women, and pink for one who's attracted to men). Ray who's already mentioned in the list I think is the only one portrayed positively; heck one of the choice responses to Hakuna's question on who's the hottest woman in the prison is "Does Ray count?" so I suspect he might be a writers' pet of sorts. There's some implication that one of the inmates Franklin the Zebra turns gay and gets attracted to him later. Then there's Chris the Lynx who's kind of bad and somewhat morally ambiguous. Whitey the Rabbit is weirdly marked as attracted to men even though none of his dialogue suggests that he is, and even his backstory shows he had a relationship with his (female) assistant and reacts positively if you give him a pinup poster or a Playpup issue (the two other gay characters will react negatively if gifted either of those things). Deputy Billy meanwhile who's revealed later to be involved in something very shady is a little more telling about the localizers' or the devs' views since you can find out by checking his locker that he has a letter from his male ex-lover about him moving to his new boyfriend's country where they "can't get legally married" and taking their "adopted son". Other than those, I don't think I've seen any lesbians or ****** and most of the story is just played straight. And I'm still waiting on a friend of mine who can speak Mandarin (it's a Chinese game after all) to translate some of the dialogue for me because I also kinda suspect localizers for probably gay-ing it up. That said, apart from a few optional quests, interacting with the gay characters or finding out that they're gay (like in Deputy Billy's case) is not required to progress through the main quests.

EDIT: I finished the second playable character's story and noticed that the newly-elected Liberal Party president of the country who only appears in the newspaper at the good and good+ endings looks vaguely like Hillary Clinton.

Sid Meier's Civilization:

Civilization I-IV have a bit of a climate alarmist angle with the global warming phenomenon which starts happening in the Industrial Era. This is absent in Civ V, but comes back in Civ VI with an even more globalist angle where there's even polar ice caps melting and other things.

Tropico:

Same-sex marriage legalization option starting in Tropico 3. Not sure if this counts but by Tropico 5, since jobs are no longer sex-specific anymore unlike in previous games (eg. only men can be soldiers, bankers, and college professors; only women can be teachers, journalists, and engineers), you'll start seeing women in the military. It may be a gameplay-balancing thing, but it also breaks immersion especially if you're trying to play as a patriarchal-oriented country.

People who are extremely ill still have a libido, and even a significant percentage of those who get castrated retain one. I'm not sure what factor aside from those could actually cause someone to be 'asexual'. To be clear, that means something different from 'uninterested in romance'. Plenty of people aren't interested in pursuing a relationship regardless of sexual desire.
Untrue. As someone with life-long chronic pain I can confirm in bad times I went months, possibly years, with 0 libido. My hormones were/are okay.

In capitalist terms, corporations push socialism because it offsets what workers would demand from their job (Healthcare, living expenses, transport, etc.) to the government/taxpayer. It's cost reduction, that's why it seems so disingenuous, but it's really not. That's why socialists are corpos best soldiers, and why true "working class" people hate them.

DEI is the other angle of attack corpos use because non-whites/non-Asians don't have forward thought of the future and so will not understand demanding benefits for long term personal investment. It's easier to get peoples that only work for today and never think about retiring because they have no ability to perceive their own futures. We'd be lucky not to live among such rabble, because that level of cognition is what also builds nice communities and societies.

I forgot to add: one extremely common if not defining feature of all the woke games is how undetailed they're visually. This reflects how woke world-view is only possible if someone completely ignores details and tries to pretend you can just group undesirables with good people through averaging out the data.

Sounds interesting. Most sites reviewing movies and tv shows for wokeness just don't understand what woke means (or worse, they lie) and thus falsely label woke stuff as based. It's annoying.

Have the titles mentioned in this thread been added to the list? I see some of the games I listed are on there in any case. But it's hard to browse, at least when you're logged out...not sure if it's the same when logged in. It would be nice to be able to search for a specific title and see a bit more information on what "exactly" makes the game woke. Some things I can stomach better than others.

It's amazing to see how this LGBT ideology has almost COMPLETELY taken over gaming, along with feminism. The most popular and financially successful games are all (covertly) woke and most people just...don't...see it!! Like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for example. It's praised as being the best game of all time by many, yet the game is filled with woke messaging. Most of the lead characters are girlbosses, the men are either weak or depicted as evil, there are several non-binary characters and at least one ****** in the game, and the whole thing is just mostly anti-male. It's a woke game, but it's also a good game and thus it gets a pass.

As for Hogwarts Legacy (already on the list), it doesn't just use body type instead of biological sex...the entire game you're in essence playing as a non-binary individual since EVERYONE refers to you as "they/them" while other people are referred to as he or she, even the ****** at the pub. Yet nobody seems to talk about this, it just ends at the body type selection...complete cognitive dissonance there.

Similarly, in RoboCop Rogue City the new mayor to be elected is also referred to as "they" at some point, when in fact both candidates are men. Other than that I couldn't find anything that bothered me, besides perhaps all the strong and brave female police officers...but that might be canon, I'm not sure.

Please tell me that other people are also seeing this HUGE shift from he/she to singular they/them in video games and elsewhere? More and more are men and women being referred to as they instead of he or she in video games and on social media. They are trying to erase gender and almost nobody is talking about this.

I truly see no hope for the future of humanity.

I hate the singular they, but when it's referring to the main character, it's done so you don't have to record the same line twice.

That is an imperfect solution. The correct solution is to not have female main characters.

Respectfully, ********. That's what they WANT you to think. They have millions of dollars on hand but can't record a couple of lines twice? It's a completely new phenomenon.

Btw, Horizon Zero Dawn should be changed from "Informational" to "Not Recommended" since the protagonist is a lesbian girlboss. I heard the sequel is even worse. I enjoyed the game though.

That does not make any sense whatsoever. Dialogs are written and recorded during game development, not after sales. And I'm pretty sure Hogwarts Legacy sold enough copies either way.

Voice acting is money that leaves the studio, so is under more scrutiny for bang for buck than what's being spent internally.

Edit: It's also why a lot of companies outsource QA to ***** or slavs.

FYİ, upcoming Nioh 3 has body type bs just like Rise of Ronin with all races selectable. Character customization in itself is woke af anyway in these games, only option should be standard japanese male.

Another example was Surge 1 vs Surge 2. First one with a set protagonist had an amazing looking chad while second one with character customization only let you create subhumans.

It is kinda uncomfortable to follow this thread for new games. have you considered opening a thread in the steam group?
One thread per game including link to evidence. Then i will gladly add it.
I have not played E33 far (maybe one hour) do you have examples from cutscenes i could use as a source? i would add it. I have a grudge against it anyway for putting qte into trunbased. this will ruin a lot of turn based games for the future.
Also i think it is heavily overhyped and i would not wonder if a lot of it had to do with money exchanging hands behind the scenes. This game got more awards than bg3 or gta that is just ridiculous

They can record hundreds or thousands of lines of dialog but somehow adding a couple of extra lines is too much? It's not about money, it's about sending a message! Well, maybe it IS about money...Blackrock money.

In decades of gaming I've never seen this. It's being done under the guise of pleasing a tiny minority of people (people who don't know what the f* they are), and somehow we all have to pay the price for it. This is nudging the herd in a certain direction, social engineering.

It wouldn't improve sales because most gamers are idiots. It's about consciously and respectfully offering the choice of having an immersive male or female player character experience, as it used to be. It's something that should be expected as being completely normal!!

Understandable that this way might be a bit uncomfortable. But I myself like to keep my gaming accounts separate from all these culture war discussions as much as I can. If you just go back a number of pages here, there are many people who have listed games to add...it would be a shame and a great waste to not look into it. Perhaps it might be useful to create a new thread on this forum for that exact purpose?

As for Expedition 33...not sure if I can provide proof as these are things I eperienced myself when playing. First there's a transsexual/dragqueen looking character (or at the very least a very ugly and masculine looking woman) at the start of the game when you enter the (multicultural) crowd just before the gommage event. Just look around for it. The first genderless character I found is the little gestral kid in the gestral village that's stuck on top of the rocks or pillars. The second is one of the grandis at the train station. I can't remember exactly but one of the grandis talks to you about another genderless grandis. Then ofcourse weak Gustave wants to kill himself after the expedition goes south and needs to be rescued by the strong and brave Lune. It doesn't get much better for the men after that. The wokeness is less overt than in many other modern games, but it's there! I enjoyed the game, but it's not my cup of tea. I'm not touching BG3 (too woke).

As a sidenote, I heard the theory that Gamergate's purpose was to divide the "gamer" group/identity into several groups based on identity politics to sow division, since gamers were quite a homogenous group back then (or so they say) and not easily controlled. So now you weren't just a gamer, but either a black gamer or a white gamer, a straight gamer or a gay gamer or...whatever. Classic divide and conquer strategy. Sounds extremely plausible to me. Gaming has never recovered since. Not that we didn't have any crap before that though (like the feminism that is Bioshock), but less so.

edit: I'm talking about the English/International version with regards to the genders in Expedition 33. Other translations are perhaps less woke.

Love how none of the warhammer trailers ever show what the product actually is. Always just some vague cinematic and no other information. They're very bad at marketing but it's actually kind of funny in a way.

Then ofcourse weak Gustave wants to kill himself after the expedition goes south and needs to be rescued by the strong and brave Lune. It doesn't get much better for the men after that. The wokeness is less overt than in many other modern games, but it's there! I enjoyed the game, but it's not my cup of tea. I'm not touching BG3 (too woke).

As a sidenote, I heard the theory that Gamergate's purpose was to divide the "gamer" group/identity into several groups based on identity politics to sow division, since gamers were quite a homogenous group back then (or so they say) and not easily controlled. So now you weren't just a gamer, but either a black gamer or a white gamer, a straight gamer or a gay gamer or...whatever. Classic divide and conquer strategy. Sounds extremely plausible to me. Gaming has never recovered since. Not that we didn't have any crap before that though (like the feminism that is Bioshock), but less so.

edit: I'm talking about the English/International version with regards to the genders in Expedition 33. Other translations are perhaps less woke.

Voice acting is money that leaves the studio, so is under more scrutiny for bang for buck than what's being spent internally.

Edit: It's also why a lot of companies outsource QA to ***** or slavs.
They can record hundreds or thousands of lines of dialog but somehow adding a couple of extra lines is too much? It's not about money, it's about sending a message! Well, maybe it IS about money...Blackrock money.

In decades of gaming I've never seen this. It's being done under the guise of pleasing a tiny minority of people (people who don't know what the f* they are), and somehow we all have to pay the price for it. This is nudging the herd in a certain direction, social engineering.

By how many millions of dollars do you think recording the voice lines your way would improve sales?
It wouldn't improve sales because most gamers are idiots. It's about consciously and respectfully offering the choice of having an immersive male or female player character experience, as it used to be. It's something that should be expected as being completely normal!!

Another example was Surge 1 vs Surge 2. First one with a set protagonist had an amazing looking chad while second one with character customization only let you create subhumans.
Bait and switch, I see it everywhere.
Well, the reason for all this is that the writers are all gay.

The issue is that, if you hire one gay writer, then normal people don't want to work there anymore, so you end up with only gay writers and they're not even doing it on purpose, they'll make all your characters 'they/them' because that's what's "normal" for them.

I've never seen this game use any of that, there's almost no dialogue.
first of: Sorry @rusty_shackleford i kinda missed your post. i probably clicked mark all as read and overlooked it

@Tweed it was mentioned in the backlog of the currator group i either checked a wiki for the game or some gameplay vid i do not recall exactly.

anyways i thought to have a laugh and gave it a recommended cause slugs indeed are nonbinary/hermaphrodites (at least to my knowledge) and thats the one case where they them makes kinda sense.

i started researching againg and found a reddit thread and now my head hurts. but i might be i made a mistake here: i have found a wiki that uses they them for all of them. I found the post in the old currator that claims that the game does so. but i also just found a reddit thread were they discuss the slugs genders and also talk about a dating game with the slugs (which made my head hurt more) but it is also mentioned that the genders have not officially been declared.

so i probably went by the wiki and the forum post. but it seems like the wiki headcannoned the pronouns into it.

Ergo: review adjusted to "no woke content detected" still recommended as before

Edit2: The wiki is also linked in the steam forum making it kinda official that they use pronouns. but well if the game itself does not mention it. :scratch: but this is becoming to much effort it was recommended anyways.

unless you have some other gripe i would leave it at that.

As for Expedition 33...
I forgot to mention the female gestral chief, who is the strongest of all gestrals. It took me quite a few levels for Verso and Monoco to beat her together. Can't get more woke than that.
Not sure how to interpret that, but it's a symbol for how things in this world are all upside down.

It's about DEI, mandated by Blackrock along with the marxist activists and "minorities" replacing more competent (and normal) people. The gay (and feminist) writers are put there by the ones in power to destabilize and demoralize. And apparantly (from what I heard) these developers only get access to institutional money when they comply with wokeness, and consultancy companies like Sweet Baby Inc are the gatekeepers to this money.
It's happening everywhere. It's all about power and control by the 1%, transhumanism and depopulation. Watch Hypernormalization by Adam Curtis and listen to Yuri Bezmenov and James Lindsay if you don't understand what's going on.

He's the guy that's been trying to make "woke right" a thing and melting down about it.
