"What makes something woke?" Well on the one hand, I argue that you really shouldn't be defining things, because that makes it easier to argue around them. Having said that, I would say: Dedication to a political ideology and message, to the significant detriment of the overall quality, plot, and continuity of a work. And even though it's one particular political ideology that tends to be the culprit currently, I don't think others are absolved from the potential to be "woke."
History of any country that is more than 200 years is dark as in real dark, people who lived past 30 were superhumans and the group was more important than the individual when we go further back to the 1200 and back they literally could not survive if any gay couple existed that is why most of them were in secret and also why they were illegal and sentenced to harsh punishments as they would not reproduce an offspring. It is not until more modern times when people not longer lived is villages of 20 or 30 people that it was not longer an survival issue and that it was not longer frowned upon and that people could be more open about it. A great example of this is Alexander the great, he was bisexual if my history is right, and he did have a heir but he had it when he already died and all the efforts of his empire was in shambles and that was a great empire now imagine a village of 30 people who depend on each other tñfor survival and suddenly the population goes from 30 to 28 the next generation and now they have to do more work with less people.
Putting a character who is ‘diverse’ purely for the sake of putting them in is woke. Having to put male characters down in order to make female characters look better is woke.
Neither of those things is woke...woke is about recognizing social and economic injustice and the roles things like gender and disability and race play into that...put down the "everything I dislike is woke nonsense" kool-aid and come back to reality.

2 things to be fair 1. Yassu something wasn't disproved much like the white one 2. Historicaly acurate? Thats assassin's creed they arent (they use rumurs and shit too) But thats it, goofy ass music and it was made to be a appeling/selling thing, its the least functional way to advertise something but they still do it for some reason, the public caring or not about minorities, aren't stupid On another note bro is personal and honest about it, woman and such do consume good stuff too... i dont like g.i joe but yeah!
1. He was real, but very much was only a novelty pet instead of a trusted advisor/samurai 2. Assassin's creed premise is that what we see in the games is the shadows hidden from history, official history in the games is the same as ours. You know what his historical reality would have been amazing for? Being the questgiver NPC that's an Assassin informant giving out info from outside Japan. His contributions swept away by the need to hide the assassin vs templar shadow war. Instead, you could make it so that both playable characters are Japanese Shinobi, but from the two different big ninja clans, working together despite the rivalry of their clans. You could have made some seriously compelling stories, but we really needed to have the big black dude slaughtering japanese to hiphop while wearing bull motif armour. Yeah, I don't hear many people mention that last bit, but with all the other red flags, that one really has some unkind connotations.
maybe it could have been a great game if it was early creed devs and such, but even if they focused on japanese mcs (someone like goemon?) idk man i think they'd cringe it out regardless
It's simple. Woke is left leaning + bad. For example, old Star Trek and Twilight Zone were quite progressive, with anti-war and racial harmony messages. But the focus was always on fun or interesting stories, using those themes to enhance. But modern stories are hampered by most writers being talentless political activists. Their stories are weak and their politics are so blatant it feels like an HR meeting. Nobody rational should be against the message "gay people existing isn't bad." But if all you have is that message, that isn't a story, that is propaganda.
One thing that has not been said, any individual agenda, regardless of what it is trying to push, being normalized in the media industry only hurts creativity. Carrying 200 page long rule set to a new project only makes the final product look like reskin of the same thing we saw over and over as the rule set has been built. This is also why the best media ever made can't count to three, afret 3rd installment people already know the formula, and cannot be surprised.
The racial voter ID thing is real but the overall impact on elections is small. In the US, racial minorities (other than Asians/Pacific Islanders) are 2-3x less likely to have a valid photo ID, and people making less money are also much more likely to have a photo ID. However, the percent of people without ID is not very high. For example, it's only ~ 6.2% of Black or Hispanic Americans of voting age who don't have an ID, compared to 2.3% of White Americans of voting age. There are more important issues, like Georgia making it illegal to provide water or food to people waiting in line to vote, while simultaneously making it so that select voting locations will have lines that are many hours long, and of course, not making voting day a national holiday.
The irony of all this is, before this nonsense was being force fed down our throats nobody cared who was in a game. I remember back in the day you could hardly find a nerd who didn't like Tomb Raider for example, or one that didn't like either Mass Effect or Dragon Age, plain and simple nobody likes to be forced to do anything, we only do things we don't like because of the consequences that occur when we don't... like paying taxes for example. Gamers especially hate being forced to do things we don't like, since it detracts from our overall gaming experience, for example I've yet to meet a gamer who enjoys escort quests, yet they appear in near every single game where it is possible to have one, you can have these uhhh... "narratives" in the game for people who want to explore them like the aforementioned ME & DA examples, but otherwise leave the game normal for everybody else who just wants to enjoy a good story/gameplay, except that longer seems possible as it appears all the devs these days know is the narrative, rather than knowing how to make a solid game that is enjoyable to play for the general public and thus be profitable.
In the context of gaming, it's a matter of them actively pandering, marketing g minorities as a game feature or forcibly shoehorning in real world politics and such when it doesn't organically fit the story. You know what had a lot of diversity? Telltale's The Walking Dead. And no one cared, because Lee and Clem were amazing characters in their own right, whereas most the stuff coming out makes their minority status the sole defining characteristic of otherwise bland Mary Sue chars. They're more concerned with making a statement rather than making a difference. Friggin terminally Twitter armchair activist crowd.
My definition of woke is: "anything that has the expressed purpose of pushing an ideology, agenda, or philosophy for the sake of appearing 'holier than thou' in public eyes"
@@alexcamacho2415 Religion when they don't actually believe but instead are using it to appear righteous. (Eg. you're literally warned about people that try to appear holier than thou or pray in public and about being such a person in the bible).
its no wonder the GI JOE toy line both the classified and the others went down hill in both quality and how they released them. If they spent more time on actually releasing new figures and coming up with ACTUAL upgrades like the limbs and making stands for them etc rather than DEI diversity crap they would be doing better. many re-releases with slight differences like packaging, colours or slight gear change instead of giving us new characters. Also making some of the most popular or desired characters limited to convention only or hasbro pulse only meaning if your not loaded with cash or lucky enough to get on the pre order in time for the VERY LIMITED figures, chances are you can never own one. Hence why I stopped collecting them and just started to collect the actual old toy line instead for instance I think there are like 10 versions of snake eyes alone with most being slight colour differences or putting his gear in a slightly different area. Then they re release THOSE re releases by placing them in older looking packaging and doing it all over again which again if your a collector they released them in these numbered boxes that ALL look the same then release SOME figures that only came in the classic boxes meaning it messed your whole system up AGAIN lol. Didn't help because hasbro was failing thanks to their over done star wars line they upped the prices from something like £20-£30 to around £40-£50 its stupid as hell.
@@syverah_nahja4047 yes look at the people they look like a generic male female style like she/her doesn't even have short hair to be closer to miss gender.
Life is strange is a weird example because it does in fact cause people to steer clear of the game because the main thing spoken about online about it is the fact that you can choose to be gay in it. I have heard so many people talk about the game and yet that's basically the only thing I know about the game, because I haven't played it, and don't want to.
Life is strange is "woke" but in a good way imo. There's a lot of progressive shit but it's clearly advertised for people who like that, it doesn't try to force it in the story or another already existing franchise and there's an actual story they wanted to tell beyond that. Sadly a lot of communities will tend to focus on really shallow stuff and it can be very frustrating. I once dropped a manga I was enjoying reading because the conversation in the community at the time was only focused on shipping male characters together. It took me like 10 years to pick it up again.
The game itself doesn't actually lean very heavily into the subject at all. There's very few actual situations that involve the whole gay/lesbian aspect of life is strange. Most of it is only hinted at with some minor exceptions hear and there. Over all the game doesn't go out of its way to shove it in your face its kind of just there in the background really.
To clear somethings up yusuke was a real african serving under lord nobunaga we don't know if he was a samurai or just a retainer, and the gi joe comics are currently as good as when marvel was writing them ( because Larry hama is helping/writing some books).

Giving these people the benefit of the doubt is what put us here. But I guess women can't help themselves, especially if there's another woman to defend.
As far as anything I own that can be considered "woke" is the gender pronoun nonsense in the character creation of Baldur's Gate 3. But it can be easily ignored and I can see why it did so well, because it's a fairly subtle nod to the delusional modern liberal beliefs. And gamers who are conservative can still enjoy the game as well. It doesn't feel forced, am I conservative? Kinda? But idk exactly, after some research I'd say that I'm in the middle of the political spectrum. Anything liberal about me I'd say that I'm part pre 2010 liberal. Though I'm primarily accused of being a full conservative. For the most part I don't see anything wrong with conservatives, they're mostly chill and far right conservatives are a minority. Modern liberals from what I've seen mostly have a "I'm a victim" mentality, don't know how to be happy, and don't want other people to be happy. The only thing that's black and white in reality is gender, there are only 2 genders, it's common sense and scientific fact. And I agree, if the delusional pronoun mafia wants their own shows, movies, and games, just make their own series. And don't ruin beloved series
A black man in Japan would stick out like a sore thumb (e.g. would not be a very good assassin). There are a thousand good samurai that we have historical record and context for. Why did they ram that guy in there? They also LITERALLY INVENTED the shinobi (ninjas), so why are they trying to force a samurai to be an assassin? Samurai upheld a strict battle code. P.S. For the music, couldn't they have just typed in feudal japanese music into google? They wouldn't have even had to pay for the copyright for it because it's so old. Also, it blends into the background like most music is supposed to do and not in your face.
Disney not wanting a gay kiss is just for these.... religious countries. a gay kiss would not help the movie in any way. but only hurt profit. im not saying it need to be in or out. its just avoiding an unnecessary problem. im a guy, i like to play as woman, i like to date ingame(and real) woman, this naturally creates lesbian in my games thou... but this not also automatically means i would search for lesbian pr0n... and i played LIS1, and preferred Warren over Chloe, so it seems it always was a personality thing after all. (gosh i hate Chloe... ever seen "Life is Strange - The Worst Best Friend" ?)... "being canceled does not mean anything anymore" ? it never did mean anything before. *being* canceled now means you are one of the actual good guys. (don't get me wrong, if you doing really bad stuff, you are canceling yourself, which is a different story)
To me, it's simple. If I see manly women or feminized men, or even the hint of the tumblr art style or color palette, it's 'woke'. It's all you need to see to know what the game is. Either it beats you over the head with messaging, or it will be a buggy, shallow mess of nonsensical design chouces, made by people who don't play games. Or both. The end. And the evidence is all there. 95% of games like that are at the bottom of wishlists and player reviews. You can make any type of game, for any audience. No one is stopping anyone. Visual novels and cozy farm sims are heavily 'woke' most of the time. And they sell. But no one from that audience would buy a Duke Nuken-style farm sim, with metal and blood and bewbs, and no villagers to romance, and no crops to grow. Well, when you woke-ify action games, dark fantasy and war, you're doing the same thing. You're trying to upend what makes people like those games. Serving tofu in a steakhouse. We're sick of it.

Stereotypes are stereotypes because they are based in general truths.

History of any country that is more than 200 years is dark as in real dark, people who lived past 30 were superhumans and the group was more important than the individual when we go further back to the 1200 and back they literally could not survive if any gay couple existed that is why most of them were in secret and also why they were illegal and sentenced to harsh punishments as they would not reproduce an offspring. It is not until more modern times when people not longer lived is villages of 20 or 30 people that it was not longer an survival issue and that it was not longer frowned upon and that people could be more open about it. A great example of this is Alexander the great, he was bisexual if my history is right, and he did have a heir but he had it when he already died and all the efforts of his empire was in shambles and that was a great empire now imagine a village of 30 people who depend on each other tñfor survival and suddenly the population goes from 30 to 28 the next generation and now they have to do more work with less people.

Hopefully companies will realize that DIVERSITY doesnt hit as hard if its forced

Putting a character who is ‘diverse’ purely for the sake of putting them in is woke.
Having to put male characters down in order to make female characters look better is woke.
Neither of those things is woke...woke is about recognizing social and economic injustice and the roles things like gender and disability and race play into that...put down the "everything I dislike is woke nonsense" kool-aid and come back to reality.

Honestly, I'd rather just stay away from Wokeism and defend myself for the greater good of my own sanity.
2 things to be fair
1. Yassu something wasn't disproved much like the white one
2. Historicaly acurate? Thats assassin's creed they arent (they use rumurs and shit too)
But thats it, goofy ass music and it was made to be a appeling/selling thing, its the least functional way to advertise something but they still do it for some reason, the public caring or not about minorities, aren't stupid
On another note bro is personal and honest about it, woman and such do consume good stuff too... i dont like g.i joe but yeah!
1. He was real, but very much was only a novelty pet instead of a trusted advisor/samurai
2. Assassin's creed premise is that what we see in the games is the shadows hidden from history, official history in the games is the same as ours.
You know what his historical reality would have been amazing for? Being the questgiver NPC that's an Assassin informant giving out info from outside Japan. His contributions swept away by the need to hide the assassin vs templar shadow war.
Instead, you could make it so that both playable characters are Japanese Shinobi, but from the two different big ninja clans, working together despite the rivalry of their clans.
You could have made some seriously compelling stories, but we really needed to have the big black dude slaughtering japanese to hiphop while wearing bull motif armour. Yeah, I don't hear many people mention that last bit, but with all the other red flags, that one really has some unkind connotations.
maybe it could have been a great game if it was early creed devs and such, but even if they focused on japanese mcs (someone like goemon?) idk man i think they'd cringe it out regardless
It's simple. Woke is left leaning + bad. For example, old Star Trek and Twilight Zone were quite progressive, with anti-war and racial harmony messages. But the focus was always on fun or interesting stories, using those themes to enhance. But modern stories are hampered by most writers being talentless political activists. Their stories are weak and their politics are so blatant it feels like an HR meeting. Nobody rational should be against the message "gay people existing isn't bad." But if all you have is that message, that isn't a story, that is propaganda.
One thing that has not been said, any individual agenda, regardless of what it is trying to push, being normalized in the media industry only hurts creativity.
Carrying 200 page long rule set to a new project only makes the final product look like reskin of the same thing we saw over and over as the rule set has been built.
This is also why the best media ever made can't count to three, afret 3rd installment people already know the formula, and cannot be surprised.

The racial voter ID thing is real but the overall impact on elections is small. In the US, racial minorities (other than Asians/Pacific Islanders) are 2-3x less likely to have a valid photo ID, and people making less money are also much more likely to have a photo ID. However, the percent of people without ID is not very high. For example, it's only ~ 6.2% of Black or Hispanic Americans of voting age who don't have an ID, compared to 2.3% of White Americans of voting age. There are more important issues, like Georgia making it illegal to provide water or food to people waiting in line to vote, while simultaneously making it so that select voting locations will have lines that are many hours long, and of course, not making voting day a national holiday.
Women with chin's like American Dad.
He has an extremely bad take on The Last Samurai otherwise good video.
The irony of all this is, before this nonsense was being force fed down our throats nobody cared who was in a game. I remember back in the day you could hardly find a nerd who didn't like Tomb Raider for example, or one that didn't like either Mass Effect or Dragon Age, plain and simple nobody likes to be forced to do anything, we only do things we don't like because of the consequences that occur when we don't... like paying taxes for example.
Gamers especially hate being forced to do things we don't like, since it detracts from our overall gaming experience, for example I've yet to meet a gamer who enjoys escort quests, yet they appear in near every single game where it is possible to have one, you can have these uhhh... "narratives" in the game for people who want to explore them like the aforementioned ME & DA examples, but otherwise leave the game normal for everybody else who just wants to enjoy a good story/gameplay, except that longer seems possible as it appears all the devs these days know is the narrative, rather than knowing how to make a solid game that is enjoyable to play for the general public and thus be profitable.
He's a bit out of line, but he's right.
In the context of gaming, it's a matter of them actively pandering, marketing g minorities as a game feature or forcibly shoehorning in real world politics and such when it doesn't organically fit the story. You know what had a lot of diversity? Telltale's The Walking Dead. And no one cared, because Lee and Clem were amazing characters in their own right, whereas most the stuff coming out makes their minority status the sole defining characteristic of otherwise bland Mary Sue chars. They're more concerned with making a statement rather than making a difference. Friggin terminally Twitter armchair activist crowd.
My definition of woke is: "anything that has the expressed purpose of pushing an ideology, agenda, or philosophy for the sake of appearing 'holier than thou' in public eyes"
So religion.
@@alexcamacho2415 Religion when they don't actually believe but instead are using it to appear righteous. (Eg. you're literally warned about people that try to appear holier than thou or pray in public and about being such a person in the bible).

The only think I want to be pandering is Capcom with Mega Man. But we don't always get what we want....
its no wonder the GI JOE toy line both the classified and the others went down hill in both quality and how they released them. If they spent more time on actually releasing new figures and coming up with ACTUAL upgrades like the limbs and making stands for them etc rather than DEI diversity crap they would be doing better.
many re-releases with slight differences like packaging, colours or slight gear change instead of giving us new characters. Also making some of the most popular or desired characters limited to convention only or hasbro pulse only meaning if your not loaded with cash or lucky enough to get on the pre order in time for the VERY LIMITED figures, chances are you can never own one. Hence why I stopped collecting them and just started to collect the actual old toy line instead
for instance I think there are like 10 versions of snake eyes alone with most being slight colour differences or putting his gear in a slightly different area. Then they re release THOSE re releases by placing them in older looking packaging and doing it all over again which again if your a collector they released them in these numbered boxes that ALL look the same then release SOME figures that only came in the classic boxes meaning it messed your whole system up AGAIN lol. Didn't help because hasbro was failing thanks to their over done star wars line they upped the prices from something like £20-£30 to around £40-£50 its stupid as hell.
While I do agree on some points from the guy, he is a complete sham
Woke cares about them self's so much that they make toy introduction into spot the gender game.
Whooooa, is there actually a game that's JUST about spotting the gender?
@@syverah_nahja4047 yes look at the people they look like a generic male female style like she/her doesn't even have short hair to be closer to miss gender.

Life is strange is a weird example because it does in fact cause people to steer clear of the game because the main thing spoken about online about it is the fact that you can choose to be gay in it. I have heard so many people talk about the game and yet that's basically the only thing I know about the game, because I haven't played it, and don't want to.
Life is strange is "woke" but in a good way imo. There's a lot of progressive shit but it's clearly advertised for people who like that, it doesn't try to force it in the story or another already existing franchise and there's an actual story they wanted to tell beyond that. Sadly a lot of communities will tend to focus on really shallow stuff and it can be very frustrating.
I once dropped a manga I was enjoying reading because the conversation in the community at the time was only focused on shipping male characters together. It took me like 10 years to pick it up again.
The game itself doesn't actually lean very heavily into the subject at all. There's very few actual situations that involve the whole gay/lesbian aspect of life is strange. Most of it is only hinted at with some minor exceptions hear and there. Over all the game doesn't go out of its way to shove it in your face its kind of just there in the background really.
I mostly know the game for the fact you can rewind time to have the blue haired girl accidentally shoot herself over and over.
To clear somethings up yusuke was a real african serving under lord nobunaga we don't know if he was a samurai or just a retainer, and the gi joe comics are currently as good as when marvel was writing them ( because Larry hama is helping/writing some books). And DC is currently doing the best they've had in years read the new plastic man it's so good
It's been proven multiple times by multiple people including a literal Japanese history professor on this age and an actual descendant of Nobunaga that Yasuke was a Samurai. 🤦

I have a black character as the protagonist of my game, does that make it woke? Find out in the next episode of dragon ball z
Woke in any context other than waking up is stupid
As far as anything I own that can be considered "woke" is the gender pronoun nonsense in the character creation of Baldur's Gate 3. But it can be easily ignored and I can see why it did so well, because it's a fairly subtle nod to the delusional modern liberal beliefs. And gamers who are conservative can still enjoy the game as well. It doesn't feel forced, am I conservative? Kinda? But idk exactly, after some research I'd say that I'm in the middle of the political spectrum. Anything liberal about me I'd say that I'm part pre 2010 liberal. Though I'm primarily accused of being a full conservative. For the most part I don't see anything wrong with conservatives, they're mostly chill and far right conservatives are a minority. Modern liberals from what I've seen mostly have a "I'm a victim" mentality, don't know how to be happy, and don't want other people to be happy. The only thing that's black and white in reality is gender, there are only 2 genders, it's common sense and scientific fact. And I agree, if the delusional pronoun mafia wants their own shows, movies, and games, just make their own series. And don't ruin beloved series
A black man in Japan would stick out like a sore thumb (e.g. would not be a very good assassin). There are a thousand good samurai that we have historical record and context for. Why did they ram that guy in there? They also LITERALLY INVENTED the shinobi (ninjas), so why are they trying to force a samurai to be an assassin? Samurai upheld a strict battle code. P.S. For the music, couldn't they have just typed in feudal japanese music into google? They wouldn't have even had to pay for the copyright for it because it's so old. Also, it blends into the background like most music is supposed to do and not in your face.

"being canceled does not mean anything anymore" ?
it never did mean anything before.
*being* canceled now means you are one of the actual good guys. (don't get me wrong, if you doing really bad stuff, you are canceling yourself, which is a different story)
To me, it's simple. If I see manly women or feminized men, or even the hint of the tumblr art style or color palette, it's 'woke'. It's all you need to see to know what the game is. Either it beats you over the head with messaging, or it will be a buggy, shallow mess of nonsensical design chouces, made by people who don't play games. Or both.
The end. And the evidence is all there. 95% of games like that are at the bottom of wishlists and player reviews. You can make any type of game, for any audience. No one is stopping anyone. Visual novels and cozy farm sims are heavily 'woke' most of the time. And they sell.
But no one from that audience would buy a Duke Nuken-style farm sim, with metal and blood and bewbs, and no villagers to romance, and no crops to grow.
Well, when you woke-ify action games, dark fantasy and war, you're doing the same thing. You're trying to upend what makes people like those games. Serving tofu in a steakhouse.
We're sick of it.

Stereotypes are stereotypes because they are based in general truths. Not all black people eat/like fried chicken, but there is a stereotype that they do because GENERALLY* its true**; as in 9 times of 10(not lit.), a black person you meet will like fried chicken.
In this case, not ALL radical leftists have blue hair, but most of them do, so its GENERALLY true.
Also its not weird to play with the opposite genders preffered toys. I loved barbies and my moms loved cars.
A stereotype is an exaggeration of the truth. But is not always the general truth. There are many stereotypes that have been created from works of fiction that aren't true at all.

Whenever i hear someone refer to something as “woke” nowadays, i immediately assume they took a sip from their bottle of Elmer’s Glitter Glue after typing out their message.
Just play the damn game, dude, it’s not that big of a deal.

DOWN WITH ARROWHEAD GAMES!!!!”? No, that be stupid, because I enjoy playing the game, its not forcing any ideologies on anyone despite all player characters canonically following those politcal ideals, its just a fun game.
If you dont like stuff like spider-man 2 or baldurs gate because they’re woke, take a shower, go to an animal shelter and pet a cat, call your mom and tell her you love her, go on a spiritual retreat in the Scottish highlands, just anything other than getting butthurt about games for no reason.

I mean to be fair they kinda already did that, AC Origins was set in Egypt which unsurprisingly is in Africa. That said I would be totally down for a AC game (if Ubi wasn't the trash company it is) to be set in like the Mali Empire, Songhai Empire, Kingdom of Aksum/Ethiopia etc.
Hell I also would've loved a game set in India during the Mughal Empire, China during the Song Dynasty, Central America during the Olmec civilization, South East Asia during the Khmer Empire etc. Ubi has quite literally hundreds of times and places to choose from that are all equally interesting in their own right, but they won't because that whole company is both ran and staffed by brain dead activists, whom know nothing but their own ideology.
