AH YES. IMMERSION IN THE GAME WHERE YOU PLAY AS A MAGICAL SWORDSMAN HERO. I can relate to being a cyborg ninja with a sword who suplexes Gundams for a living but playing a character with boobs? Unthinkable! Absolute and utter lunacy!
They are actually the ONLY people who talk about these things. I have never seen a left wing person talk about female video game characters as some novelty.
You see. They don't want to think about think about races that aren't white or any gender besides male. And God forbid they have to think about sexuality that isn't straight.
@@maestroquebrado2259 Yeah like Baldurs Gate 3... where in my 3rd playthrough i'm playing a Trans Druid who is Black and is currently in a polygamous relationship with a vampire and a dude who sometimes likes to do the nasty as a bear... so not woke
One piece is actually amazing except for the designs of the female characters. It feels like those Barbie modeling games where all you do is change the clothes and accessories because they all have the same body type. The only exceptions I can remember are that one grandma in water 7 and Big Mom
Hell, even in Amazon Lily where they could've changed the designs a little more there's like one lady who is larger, one with a weird face and that's kinda it. I literally thought Boa Hancock and Robin were the same person before I got to that part because they have the same hair color and every female character is a stick figure with quintuple G cup boobs and anorexia
@@guineapork6830why is one piece catching strays the character designs are supported to be cartoonishly goofy and unrealistic thats a part of the charm for both the men and women like look a gecko moria and kuma 💀
Because it's a grift, they will call any modern female character ugly, unless it's a vary popular game like boulders gate three, the only reason is to spark paranoia.
@AlexA-ie5zv name 5 women in one piece that are considered beautiful in the series and are not based off of Nami and robin's designs. It is gonna be real hard
@honest_126 some men are good, you know the men that are so secure in their masculinity that they can just be healthy about it. In general dudes make me uncomfortable but I know some dudes who absolutely deserve girlfriends and want them.
Cis het here, most men have terrible taste in women, I think they have a weird conformist domination thing going on. Personally, I think the hottest women ever drawn are drawn by women and lesbians, there's a wholistic quality to them that most male artists fail to capture.
Transformers is mass-produced plastic crap born of Reagan-era deregulation. Fans of it will be the _very first_ people to lick that boot the second a toy they want comes out-none of the other shady shit Hasbro has done has stopped them.
I love how if you go on Steam and search up the tags for “female protagonist” or “LGBTQ+”, they don’t even make up 10% of Steam’s entire library. These are apparently the things supposedly taking over the industry…
And the tags are added by the community, so... they just don't want queer people, folks of colour, or women and femmes in gaming... which just isn't realistic in 2024. They can't legislate reality to be this bigoted, so they're trying the culture war crap to drive us away
“The woke mob has come for us all! My favorite video game, Protagonist Fights an explicit allegory for capitalism that I was too dumb to pick up on as a kid has GONE WOKE because they added a character of color!”
I love how they tried to "It's not actually woke" BG3 despite the fact you can make your character trans and fuck anything that moves in it. And the game explicitly deals with fantasy racism from the very get go. The reality is that the "woke" games that do bad are usually bad games that are either horribly written or just bad mechanically. If they tried for 1.5 seconds they could find "woke" games with great writing like Disco Elysium or something but that would hurt their worldview.
Tbf with bg3 it's a actually fun game, where as some games/shows only tries to make it work from a preachy mortality point,also it's not scared to make some of its characters sexually appealing, for some reason some people want all characters to be ugly, either out of spite or for "diversity sake" witch is just lame it's like body shamming but with some excuse of "Its just sexualizing women" even though literally everyone is attracted to something regardless of sexuality, girls like abs and butts, boys like boobs and butts, gays like abs and butts, lesbians like boobs and butts it makes no difference and should not be looked down upon, granted everything has limits its absurd to think everything should be ultra sexy. Finally it doesn't shame others for their sexuality,race, religion EVEN if their straight,white and believe in god which is one of the most IMPORTANT things media in general can do, you can't preach about love and anti-racism if you're actually pushing it away, it's just hypocritical and leaves hate in people's hearts,and hate breeds hate. That's what makes great games and shows NOT SHOWING favoritism BUT INSTEAD embracing EVERYONES choices and beliefs, THAT'S why no one said it was woke because it didn't push any agendas on it's players and only gave options every one would love. P.S. velma show and suicide squad game are true examples of ACTUAL WOKENESS, Marvel rivels, bg3 even old things like static shock show are the exact opposite and should be used as a good example of diversity, sexuality, and anti-racism.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about "The Real Game Awards" a website purporting itself as a non-woke version of TGA, including categories like "Best Jiggle Physics", "Best Waifu" and "Worst Videogame Journalist"
Citing fallout and metal gear solid as anti woke games is the funniest shit I’ve seen in a while and to be fair it’s been a while sence I’ve seen a funny clump of feces it still great
i genuinely wonder if the people who bring those up are just being ironic and trolling, or if they are REALLY that media illiterate to think two of the wokest franchises are anti-woke.
We need to go back to a time when games were about great gameplay, like, Wolfenstein, and great storylines, like the original Final Fantasy 7. Keep your politics out of my games!! 😡 I just want to play an FPS where you're hunting nazis or where you join a ragtag band of ecoterrorists who set out to assassinate a CEO to prevent a ecological apocalypse. I don't need you forcing your political agenda into my games.
I'd agree but specifically 2024 hasn't been fully great for gaming. You have the games that were in the game awards and those were basically the only good ones.
Tbh I agree, but it's done way too much a lot of the time. A good example of representation would be like, ghost of tsushima; lots of great, strong, female protagonists who are good characters and don't just feel written in. Another example would be the last of us, lots of great gay representation from strong characters and it's not shoved in your face. (This is coming from a gay guy btw).
Alot of the time it is poorly done and the characters feel shoehorned in just to check a demographic off a list and not because they actually care about that group so it feels like that the characters with these traits entire personality is im a minority or im trans instead of being real characters
@AlexA-ie5zv but that's the thing... Representation isn't always going to be perfect. As a queer woman, I want good AND bad representation (as long as it isn't offensive lmao ). Queer and other marginalised characters should be able to exist, whether good or bad, without their identity being the biggest target for criticism. Besides, companies are always trying to cater to certain audiences. Earlier games had huge s3x appeal catered towards men, because companies believed videogames were only a guy thing. Now times have changed, and we're seeing more accurate representations of women after companies realised women enjoy gaming just as much. As much as we sh!t on companies, they are what bring the most popular media we know now into the mainstream. Being able to see ourselves, in the mainstream, no matter how "cringe" the representation is, is extremely comforting. For Example: Mortal Kombat's Kitana was an extremely p3v3rted and overs3xualised CONCEPT of what the original Netherrealm team thought a woman to be, yet still, plenty of women (like myself), identified with her and latched onto her character. I believe companies are extremely out of touch, but we are directing our anger towards the wrong things... Be mad at the heads of these companies, not the writers. Instead of going "writing bad", perhaps consider why it was that way. More often than not, it's because of time constrictions, toxic work environment, the shutting down of creative ideas, layoffs or company policy. Companies know that people will always blame the writers or devs before they blame the people in charge. They are a scapegoat for the real issue .... (Also just wanna say I'm tired AF after an 8 hour work day, so idk if this makes any sense. But thanks for reading this far if you have.)
@@lorrithelinguistAlso blame a lack of DEI, unironically. That trans character feels shoehorned into the game? The mixed-race deuteragonist is more like an effort at checking a box than writing a fully fleshed out character? Yeah, there's a reason for that. Very often the cause of bad "woke" characters in media is because they are written by people who just don't get it. Men are notoriously bad at writing women characters, especially in books. Your average dudebro in some dev team probably has zero clue about what it is to be trans. And so on. If you look at great examples of representation it usually comes from individuals who themselves have it as a lived experience. Not exclusively, and being from a marginalized group doesn't mean you're guaranteed to write a good character from that group but it's rare that a writer has insight into these experiences unless they have personally been through them (or at least something analogous.)
why would they get mad over metaphor? its the former persona team who made 3-5 who made that game. its on my wishlist but im prepared for homophobia and lukewarm takes
@@isthiscereallifethe entire game is a societal commentary on racial tensions iirc. The main antagonist is a blond-haired man who is popular among the masses despite being an awful person and desires to become emperor by force. Your party is the biggest crew of LGBTQ+ warriors I could possibly imagine Metaphor is pretty freaking woke by conservatives’ standards. Hell, the game begins with you being arrested because of your race, and then watching another guy get executed because of his race (all of this is legit within the first 2 hours) Oh btw, because of uni, I haven’t even been able to play past the first 2 hours. This is all that I got from the game during that brief playtime
I find it ironic that the anti-woke people specifically picked Wukong as their prophetic choice. One of the main themes of the novel is the ridiculous nature of organized religion and the societal expectations they force on us. The whole point of giving yaoguais sexualized forms is to laugh at how even monsters and animals have to abide to these random rules. Isn’t that the exact opposite of what the American anti-woke crowd believes? The game carries the same criticism of organized religion, and the anti-woke people, SOMEHOW, find it perfectly acceptable? Is it that they don’t read the plot of even their favorite games, or is it that as long as the author/developer are misogynistic they can ignore the most obvious criticisms? 🙃 As a non-American I can no longer understand what “woke” even is.
Its really funny that they latched onto BMW because that’s probably the most woke game on the lineup. Its about the corruption present in religious and governmental institutions and how yearning to be free or different is punished with dehumanizing treatment and violence. The main character is constantly profiled and degraded, mistaken for a famous person of his same race, and forced to work within a system that actively exploits and harms him throughout the game. The female leads are either stronger than the lead or suffer under the system and fight the protagonist because they can’t fight the oppressive system. The gender ambiguity of shapeshifting, the homoerotic tension between wukong and erlang shen, the classist narrative pushed by the game’s villains, its all so very woke. And lets not mention that the hottest characters in the game are either the elderly woman, they gay man, or the monkeys. Thats very woke and based. Should’ve won GOTY tho.
My favorite part about people calling Ciri ugly (even tho she's not) is that she is literally stated to be ugly in the books I know that she's a kid but still
Literal slavic goddess in the witcher 4 trailer. Although the books don't state that she is ugly, they don't comment on her looks past the broad strokes like her hair, eye colour. Yes Yen calls her 'ugly one' but that has some lost meaning being translated from the original polish and Ciri and Yen have a conversation about the nickname were Yen tells ciri that it is just a nickname and that she is pretty, cute moment in the books since its one of the few times Yen is plainly affectionate and not letting her wit/sarcasm be a buffer. Sorry about the lore dump I really love the witcher 😅
@@FrozenYoghurt2411 not to argue with semantics but the characters actually do call her ugly specifically the witches that where with her in the bath house scene and the kid that shows her around although the last one was probably him just being flustered around her you could be right tho its been awhile sense ive read the books and it could have just ben yen (I cant remember exactly who it was but I think it was Margarita and Tissaia de Vries)
i think it was shaun who made a video basically confirming this? these conservative commentators will just see something they think is woke and comment on it without playing the game. they did it with monster hunter
@@lorekeeper685 Yeah, I’m genuinely curious, because I’ve only ever heard praise for Baldur’s Gate 3; did they decide it wasn’t woke? Or did they just ignore it?
No, no, no they engage in gold medal winning mental gymnastics to justify why the successful product isn't woke because "go woke, go broke" HAS to be true all the time and "woke" can't be successful.
Alan Wake is a classic i have in my heart, but Alan Wake 2 is so much better than the original its not even close But Alan Wake 2 has a brown and a black Protagonist, so instead of having fun lets cry on twitter
Do people not understand that anti-fascism in video games has been around since basically video games? I guess no one ever played State of Emergency or Freedom Fighters or many MANY other 6th gen games.
I remember no one really caring about Alita Battle Angel - until Captain Marvel came out, and then all of a sudden Alita was "how a movie with a female protagonist SHOULD be made." Don't get me wrong, I think it Alita was fine, but it didn't get a surge in popularity and appreciation until it could be used as a cudgel against a movie they didn't like.
It’s actually crazy though because these people will never know the peak that is my absolute favorite game, turnip boy robs a bank, because there’s lesbian berries and a rock with the trans flag painted on it, and I find that hilarious
Lol I was watching along with a small youtuber I like watching. And every time a woman or non white person showed up his chat would jokingly yell woke like "WOMAN CHARECTER THIS GAME ID WONKE!!1!" it was funny... come to find out there are actual people who do that legitimately.
@@Coolio_Ash i wish more people think like that, personally i think that you can be progressive and have as much representation in your game as you want, that might catch my attention if you do it right, but f you and i will NOT buy your game if the development is abundant with crunch and other type of mistreatment of your employees.
you don't want to play intergalactic because you wont play a game which you cant jack it to the protagonist in (L take btw, the protagonist looks hot ngl) I dont want to play intergalactic because it looks like every game naughty dog has released over the last decade and I am tired of their "more Movie than Games" Games. We are not the same
I try to have faith in my fellow humans. I dont like to just assume people are stupid and beyond reason, I find that perspective to be reductive, misanthropic, and overly nihilistic... I will say though, the anti-woke mob have been putting up a REALLY good fight against my optimism and I'm not sure who's gonna win in the end at this point
> game that's creative, fun, built with care and a truly amazing experience wins goty > b buht is by sohnee and sohnee is le wokism mah munky game should have won some people don't deserve to have fun.
I think theyre chasing the skewed nostalgic feeling, and its genuinely sad watching them chasing their own tail. Guys if you're reading this.. let go of your anger and go in with an open mind and create new memories...stop chasing a past you never had. You know who you are.
Playing metaphor now, most of those butthurt about Witcher or new Noughty dog game wouldn't realize what this game is about because races were replaced with fantasy races and that is why this game is not woke. 😅
The Anti-woke clowns being mad about Ciri make perfect sense when you realize they're actually mad Ciri looks like an adult, rather than a vaguely aged teenager
Funny thing is, people say games back then were way better, but no, we had the same distribution of bad vs good games back then as we do today. There were just as many broken games in the 90s as there are now. Look at Daggerfall. I love Daggerfall, i think it's perfect for roleplaying, but without Daggerfall Unity, that game would be nigh on impossible to play these days. Or look at the first pokemon game, that one is RIDDLED with game breaking bugs. Games were not better optimized back then either, it was just as bad. Also, I just wanna say: This video was REALLY well done, it was amazingly thought out and amazingly executed. Thank you.
Elven blood, female, nobody knows the mutagens anymore because the knowledge was lost in the sacking of Kaer Morhen. I'm mad about the whole trailer but I have to argue for a game that's insulting the franchise even further because chuds. lmao
She's a semi-deific entity with powers far beyond anything else in the series but obviously she cannot into magic witcher juice. Also regarding "women can't take the trial" there is no actual evidence of this, just like there's no evidence that witchers lose all emotions.
@@PlatinumAltaria Also, funnily enough, the Cat School of witchers actually ALLOWED elves and women to take the trial. Also, apparently the author of the original series was cool with Ciri being a witcher. Even if you look at the games, Ciri becoming a withcher makes total sense. The one good ending seems to be Geralt passing his duties to Ciri, I think, and also she's seen TRAINING AS A WITCHER at the start of the Witcher 3, so her becoming a witcher makes total sense.
The Last Of Us Part 2 subreddit has become an absolute PIT of horrific sexism and racism because of Intergalactic. Every other post is trying to suggest that Neil Druckmann doesn't know what a woman looks like. Even though it's a literal face scan of a real actor.
Its about a completely different game (Wuthering waves) they yesterday added a new feture in which we can change the gender of the MC which we first choose before starting the journey. People are going bonkers over how the mc is now trans. Also about trans outrage is very west focused, in asian culture trans people have been there since history far back.
A fellow Treat Williams fan. I recently rewatched the substitute movies he was in after Tom Berenger was like "one movie about murdering highschoolers is enough" And man they are bad movies, like wow you'd think sequels about murdering highschool/college/military academy kids would be more enjoyable. Anyway deep rising rules.
Hell, gonna say ignoring all games with gacha mechanics isn't true. Most gachas are predatory bull or such. But Limbus Company is genuinely one of the best games ever made on top of being extremely generous of a gacha. Because Project Moon made it for the reason that they needed money but they consistently put in their themes how corporate greed and stuff is bad, so there's like a thousand things you can do other than spend a lot of money.
I think they did a great job with ciri. She was a minor in the previous game and they show her growth by making her look more mature with a stronger more defined jawline and facial structure for example. Also with the graphical upgrade her face no longer has to be really smooth and shiny to look good. Like she looks like a Sims 4 character with too many makeup mods installed in witcher 3
The culture wars are exhausting. I don't like that the reactionaries are coming for Intergalactic's female lead but at the same time the very prominent product placement is kind of gross in its own right.
Deep Rising is my go to halloween film, next to the Thing and watching all the Alien & Predator movies up to AVP1 (also Predators & Prey, and mainly skipping all the alien movies after AVP1)
Try being a Dragon Age fan right now... I'm genuinely su!c!dal over this type of sh!t. My existence gets attacked by simply stating i enjoy something that happens to have minorities in it. Its literally the dumbest thing in the world, yet people act like its the end if it whenever a gay character is on screen. Its bleeding into irl conversations i have with my mutuals now. Its terrifying, and ive lost almost all faith in humanity
It's ass, but honestly, if yr mutuals and friends cannot just let you like a thing that they don't? Maybe you need better people around you, ones that won't try to crush your joy bc you like something that they don't. And if they have that big an issue with the existence of minorities in game? They also have an issue with us irl, they're just not sharing it as openly. You deserve better friends.
If new Ciri is ugly, then the amount of _real_ women these guys find attractive must be like .00002% of the entire female population. It’s actually wild they think that. And I say this as someone who admittedly had a massive crush on her in junior high when it came out. (Also side note: I wonder how many of these 30-50 year old men are married 💀)
they call ciri ugly when i just see her as older. cdpr can't win witcher 4 is " woke." becuse it stars a chracter people like and wanted since 3 ended. and the other side like reset era refuse to give them the time of day becuse they are stil butthurt over cyberpunk.
The stuff I’m hearing about Witcher 4 is ridiculous I like Ciri but I just feel like her story is done I hope the game is good but I was hoping for something new maybe a couple hundred years before the first Witcher game but great video brother keep up the good work :)
Despite the moronic ramblings that is "criticisms" thrown at The Witcher IV, I am genuinly excited to see Ciri continue the mantle of Witcher that Geralt gave her. Because quick reminder, in Witcher 3 there are flashbacks that established the fact Geralt taught Ciri when she was young to be like her, a badass slayer of monsters.
I sincerely cannot understand people that choose to make themselves miserable and angry fighting against a perceived Boogeythem seeking to tear down everything they enjoy. Why can't they just see something they aren't interested in and leave it at that? Games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard aren't attacking you because of the, from my perspective that lacks context of having played the game myself - slightly cringe, corporate safe, stiff dialogue about LGBT+ topics. It is fair to say you aren't interested in it because the overall designs present are a downgrade from the artstyle in the previous games, or that the gameplay departs from what you enjoyed about the series prior. Concord wasn't a failure because of the characters all being DEI Woke dumpster fires, it was a failure because it came far to late into a well established genre of shooter with a clearly lacking identity, too little interest, and character designs that just failed to intrigue most people. I don't understand the point in living every moment worried about shit like whether or not the new Witcher game will be "woke" with Ciri apparently being ugly now even though she looks almost exactly the same, just with more realistic skin texturing - and clothing that makes her look bulkier than she probably actually is. Why be excited that they're continuing the story? Why not be skeptical because the last game they released, Cyberpunk 2077, launched in a very questionable state that has left the games reputation marred even today when all of that has been fixed by now? People need to get their heads out of the manufactured outrage headspace and relearn how to care about real issues in games.
Honestly when you're actually playing the game, it looks very much like Inquisition, just with better graphics? It's not nearly as jarring as I expected it to be from the intial trailers and promo materials. The writing does feel off, it's more Dragon Age fanfic than Dragon Age writing, but I think all or almost all of the previous writers left, so it makes sense that it feels off from the previous games. I'm still enjoying the game for what it is though, I never expected a return to DA:O bc the series hasn't done that for most of them 🤷🏻♂️
@@ElvishPrinceling It is perfectly fair to enjoy the game and not have issues with what is there! I wasn't aware most of the writing team had departed, with that knowledge it 100% makes sense why it'd at least be different, if not a step down in quality - attempting to pick up and continue a lore and history someone else made is really hard. Regarding a return to form, I think BioWare themselves might of bit themselves there? I do not recall if it was a first party source, but I had seen a claim that it was a return to form - and for most Dragon Age fans that meant DA:O. I fully agree with never expecting it to be like DA:O though.
10:06 the entire existence of the Jimquisition channel begs to differ. also high key the only reason you think that is marketing, the industry and games in general were in a much better state in both the 90s and 00s. but they didnt have the marketing budgets back then so you didnt know what all the new hot games were unless you subscribed to like 5+ magazines. horse armor really did ruin the industry.
I'mma be honest, Black Myth Wukong wasnt even better than any of it's competition for best action game. BMW is the definition of a beautiful looking dish that tastes extremely bland. Stellar Blade at least was stupid, had mixed gameplay styles, and better bosses. So the CEO of the studio coming down expecting GOTY was absolutely high on his own farts and so are the people mad that Astro Bot, a super creative game filled with diverse gameplay and amazing stylized visuals, won.
The only criticism I’ve heard about Witcher 4 is that people don’t like the fact that Ciri is a witcher because she did not need to become one. She already had some kickass powers like frigin’ time travel, so it’s a bit strange that they took those powers and gave her objectively shittier witcher powers… thing is, we are for sure going to get an explanation for this in the game, so people getting outraged over this is just dumb (it does make me laugh a lot sometimes tho).
This makes me want to make a fake conservative review site that calls far right conservative stuff "too woke" so that conservatives have to either become woke or become honest to fulfill their social conventions

One black person is forced diversity, two black people is white genocide. These right wing freaks are insanely sensitive.
And the tags are added by the community, so... they just don't want queer people, folks of colour, or women and femmes in gaming... which just isn't realistic in 2024. They can't legislate reality to be this bigoted, so they're trying the culture war crap to drive us away

Pft go outside
I love how they tried to "It's not actually woke" BG3 despite the fact you can make your character trans and fuck anything that moves in it. And the game explicitly deals with fantasy racism from the very get go.
The reality is that the "woke" games that do bad are usually bad games that are either horribly written or just bad mechanically. If they tried for 1.5 seconds they could find "woke" games with great writing like Disco Elysium or something but that would hurt their worldview.
wow they're just like flat earthers.
True. But most "woke" games come from "woke" studios that use DEI hires who inevitably are incompetent and thus the games are inferior and lose money.
Tbf with bg3 it's a actually fun game, where as some games/shows only tries to make it work from a preachy mortality point,also it's not scared to make some of its characters sexually appealing, for some reason some people want all characters to be ugly, either out of spite or for "diversity sake" witch is just lame it's like body shamming but with some excuse of "Its just sexualizing women" even though literally everyone is attracted to something regardless of sexuality, girls like abs and butts, boys like boobs and butts, gays like abs and butts, lesbians like boobs and butts it makes no difference and should not be looked down upon, granted everything has limits its absurd to think everything should be ultra sexy. Finally it doesn't shame others for their sexuality,race, religion EVEN if their straight,white and believe in god which is one of the most IMPORTANT things media in general can do, you can't preach about love and anti-racism if you're actually pushing it away, it's just hypocritical and leaves hate in people's hearts,and hate breeds hate. That's what makes great games and shows NOT SHOWING favoritism BUT INSTEAD embracing EVERYONES choices and beliefs, THAT'S why no one said it was woke because it didn't push any agendas on it's players and only gave options every one would love. P.S. velma show and suicide squad game are true examples of ACTUAL WOKENESS, Marvel rivels, bg3 even old things like static shock show are the exact opposite and should be used as a good example of diversity, sexuality, and anti-racism.

I don't understand why people complain about representation in games There should be representation 🏳️⚧️🩷🏳️🌈
Tbh I agree, but it's done way too much a lot of the time. A good example of representation would be like, ghost of tsushima; lots of great, strong, female protagonists who are good characters and don't just feel written in. Another example would be the last of us, lots of great gay representation from strong characters and it's not shoved in your face. (This is coming from a gay guy btw).
Alot of the time it is poorly done and the characters feel shoehorned in just to check a demographic off a list and not because they actually care about that group so it feels like that the characters with these traits entire personality is im a minority or im trans instead of being real characters
@AlexA-ie5zv exactlyyyyyy
@AlexA-ie5zv but that's the thing... Representation isn't always going to be perfect. As a queer woman, I want good AND bad representation (as long as it isn't offensive lmao ). Queer and other marginalised characters should be able to exist, whether good or bad, without their identity being the biggest target for criticism. Besides, companies are always trying to cater to certain audiences. Earlier games had huge s3x appeal catered towards men, because companies believed videogames were only a guy thing. Now times have changed, and we're seeing more accurate representations of women after companies realised women enjoy gaming just as much.
As much as we sh!t on companies, they are what bring the most popular media we know now into the mainstream. Being able to see ourselves, in the mainstream, no matter how "cringe" the representation is, is extremely comforting.
For Example: Mortal Kombat's Kitana was an extremely p3v3rted and overs3xualised CONCEPT of what the original Netherrealm team thought a woman to be, yet still, plenty of women (like myself), identified with her and latched onto her character.
I believe companies are extremely out of touch, but we are directing our anger towards the wrong things... Be mad at the heads of these companies, not the writers. Instead of going "writing bad", perhaps consider why it was that way. More often than not, it's because of time constrictions, toxic work environment, the shutting down of creative ideas, layoffs or company policy. Companies know that people will always blame the writers or devs before they blame the people in charge. They are a scapegoat for the real issue ....
(Also just wanna say I'm tired AF after an 8 hour work day, so idk if this makes any sense. But thanks for reading this far if you have.)
@@lorrithelinguistAlso blame a lack of DEI, unironically.
That trans character feels shoehorned into the game? The mixed-race deuteragonist is more like an effort at checking a box than writing a fully fleshed out character? Yeah, there's a reason for that.
Very often the cause of bad "woke" characters in media is because they are written by people who just don't get it. Men are notoriously bad at writing women characters, especially in books. Your average dudebro in some dev team probably has zero clue about what it is to be trans. And so on.
If you look at great examples of representation it usually comes from individuals who themselves have it as a lived experience. Not exclusively, and being from a marginalized group doesn't mean you're guaranteed to write a good character from that group but it's rare that a writer has insight into these experiences unless they have personally been through them (or at least something analogous.)

Metaphor is pretty freaking woke by conservatives’ standards. Hell, the game begins with you being arrested because of your race, and then watching another guy get executed because of his race (all of this is legit within the first 2 hours)

Touch some fkin grass
I find it ironic that the anti-woke people specifically picked Wukong as their prophetic choice. One of the main themes of the novel is the ridiculous nature of organized religion and the societal expectations they force on us. The whole point of giving yaoguais sexualized forms is to laugh at how even monsters and animals have to abide to these random rules. Isn’t that the exact opposite of what the American anti-woke crowd believes? The game carries the same criticism of organized religion, and the anti-woke people, SOMEHOW, find it perfectly acceptable? Is it that they don’t read the plot of even their favorite games, or is it that as long as the author/developer are misogynistic they can ignore the most obvious criticisms? 🙃 As a non-American I can no longer understand what “woke” even is.
P.S. This is not written as a defense of the game studio and the original author’s misogyny. I really don’t want anyone to take this the wrong way 😢
According to manchildren, "woke" means "diversity exists"
Pretty sure they picked it specifically because the studio said they don't want women to play the game
They do tend to love Fallout and Metal Gear though, so at least they're consistent with it
@@mrspiffy8587they don’t like fallout 4 though (because Nora woman - no, mean lawyer yet use big gun!)
ah yes, famously apolitical Fallout and Metal Gear Solid.
Its really funny that they latched onto BMW because that’s probably the most woke game on the lineup.
Its about the corruption present in religious and governmental institutions and how yearning to be free or different is punished with dehumanizing treatment and violence. The main character is constantly profiled and degraded, mistaken for a famous person of his same race, and forced to work within a system that actively exploits and harms him throughout the game.
The female leads are either stronger than the lead or suffer under the system and fight the protagonist because they can’t fight the oppressive system.
The gender ambiguity of shapeshifting, the homoerotic tension between wukong and erlang shen, the classist narrative pushed by the game’s villains, its all so very woke. And lets not mention that the hottest characters in the game are either the elderly woman, they gay man, or the monkeys. Thats very woke and based.

My favorite part about people calling Ciri ugly (even tho she's not) is that she is literally stated to be ugly in the books I know that she's a kid but still
“Why does the lady that fights monsters for a living have a scar! Women can’t have that!”
@mistuh69420 "How dare they not smell like roses, despite getting covered in human and monster gore day in and out as their job!"
Literal slavic goddess in the witcher 4 trailer. Although the books don't state that she is ugly, they don't comment on her looks past the broad strokes like her hair, eye colour. Yes Yen calls her 'ugly one' but that has some lost meaning being translated from the original polish and Ciri and Yen have a conversation about the nickname were Yen tells ciri that it is just a nickname and that she is pretty, cute moment in the books since its one of the few times Yen is plainly affectionate and not letting her wit/sarcasm be a buffer. Sorry about the lore dump I really love the witcher 😅
@@FrozenYoghurt2411 not to argue with semantics but the characters actually do call her ugly specifically the witches that where with her in the bath house scene and the kid that shows her around although the last one was probably him just being flustered around her you could be right tho its been awhile sense ive read the books and it could have just ben yen (I cant remember exactly who it was but I think it was Margarita and Tissaia de Vries)

A lot of people are fine with anti-fascism in video games, just not how it’s portrayed.
I remember no one really caring about Alita Battle Angel - until Captain Marvel came out, and then all of a sudden Alita was "how a movie with a female protagonist SHOULD be made." Don't get me wrong, I think it Alita was fine, but it didn't get a surge in popularity and appreciation until it could be used as a cudgel against a movie they didn't like.

Funny thing is, people say games back then were way better, but no, we had the same distribution of bad vs good games back then as we do today. There were just as many broken games in the 90s as there are now. Look at Daggerfall. I love Daggerfall, i think it's perfect for roleplaying, but without Daggerfall Unity, that game would be nigh on impossible to play these days. Or look at the first pokemon game, that one is RIDDLED with game breaking bugs. Games were not better optimized back then either, it was just as bad.
Also, I just wanna say: This video was REALLY well done, it was amazingly thought out and amazingly executed. Thank you.

Her name is Ciri.
She's a semi-deific entity with powers far beyond anything else in the series but obviously she cannot into magic witcher juice.
Also regarding "women can't take the trial" there is no actual evidence of this, just like there's no evidence that witchers lose all emotions.
I don’t know, game’s not out.
@@PlatinumAltaria Also, funnily enough, the Cat School of witchers actually ALLOWED elves and women to take the trial. Also, apparently the author of the original series was cool with Ciri being a witcher. Even if you look at the games, Ciri becoming a withcher makes total sense. The one good ending seems to be Geralt passing his duties to Ciri, I think, and also she's seen TRAINING AS A WITCHER at the start of the Witcher 3, so her becoming a witcher makes total sense.

Hell, gonna say ignoring all games with gacha mechanics isn't true. Most gachas are predatory bull or such. But Limbus Company is genuinely one of the best games ever made on top of being extremely generous of a gacha. Because Project Moon made it for the reason that they needed money but they consistently put in their themes how corporate greed and stuff is bad, so there's like a thousand things you can do other than spend a lot of money.
Dude, deep rising was ungreat, I’ll have to rewatch it
I think they did a great job with ciri. She was a minor in the previous game and they show her growth by making her look more mature with a stronger more defined jawline and facial structure for example. Also with the graphical upgrade her face no longer has to be really smooth and shiny to look good. Like she looks like a Sims 4 character with too many makeup mods installed in witcher 3
The culture wars are exhausting. I don't like that the reactionaries are coming for Intergalactic's female lead but at the same time the very prominent product placement is kind of gross in its own right.

If new Ciri is ugly, then the amount of _real_ women these guys find attractive must be like .00002% of the entire female population. It’s actually wild they think that. And I say this as someone who admittedly had a massive crush on her in junior high when it came out.
(Also side note: I wonder how many of these 30-50 year old men are married 💀)
Astrobot is woke because it makes me feel good and doesn't make me angry!/s

TRIBAL CHIEF ROMAN REIGNS REFERENCE!!!!
Despite the moronic ramblings that is "criticisms" thrown at The Witcher IV, I am genuinly excited to see Ciri continue the mantle of Witcher that Geralt gave her.
Because quick reminder, in Witcher 3 there are flashbacks that established the fact Geralt taught Ciri when she was young to be like her, a badass slayer of monsters.
And you know...there are also the books where this is well established
I sincerely cannot understand people that choose to make themselves miserable and angry fighting against a perceived Boogeythem seeking to tear down everything they enjoy.
Why can't they just see something they aren't interested in and leave it at that?
Games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard aren't attacking you because of the, from my perspective that lacks context of having played the game myself - slightly cringe, corporate safe, stiff dialogue about LGBT+ topics. It is fair to say you aren't interested in it because the overall designs present are a downgrade from the artstyle in the previous games, or that the gameplay departs from what you enjoyed about the series prior. Concord wasn't a failure because of the characters all being DEI Woke dumpster fires, it was a failure because it came far to late into a well established genre of shooter with a clearly lacking identity, too little interest, and character designs that just failed to intrigue most people.
I don't understand the point in living every moment worried about shit like whether or not the new Witcher game will be "woke" with Ciri apparently being ugly now even though she looks almost exactly the same, just with more realistic skin texturing - and clothing that makes her look bulkier than she probably actually is. Why be excited that they're continuing the story? Why not be skeptical because the last game they released, Cyberpunk 2077, launched in a very questionable state that has left the games reputation marred even today when all of that has been fixed by now?
People need to get their heads out of the manufactured outrage headspace and relearn how to care about real issues in games.
Honestly when you're actually playing the game, it looks very much like Inquisition, just with better graphics?
It's not nearly as jarring as I expected it to be from the intial trailers and promo materials.
The writing does feel off, it's more Dragon Age fanfic than Dragon Age writing, but I think all or almost all of the previous writers left, so it makes sense that it feels off from the previous games.
I'm still enjoying the game for what it is though, I never expected a return to DA:O bc the series hasn't done that for most of them 🤷🏻♂️
@@ElvishPrinceling It is perfectly fair to enjoy the game and not have issues with what is there!
I wasn't aware most of the writing team had departed, with that knowledge it 100% makes sense why it'd at least be different, if not a step down in quality - attempting to pick up and continue a lore and history someone else made is really hard.
Regarding a return to form, I think BioWare themselves might of bit themselves there? I do not recall if it was a first party source, but I had seen a claim that it was a return to form - and for most Dragon Age fans that meant DA:O.
I fully agree with never expecting it to be like DA:O though.
Watching Woke Karen ask what does Woke means is amusing.

the entire existence of the Jimquisition channel begs to differ.
also high key the only reason you think that is marketing, the industry and games in general were in a much better state in both the 90s and 00s. but they didnt have the marketing budgets back then so you didnt know what all the new hot games were unless you subscribed to like 5+ magazines.
horse armor really did ruin the industry.
I'mma be honest, Black Myth Wukong wasnt even better than any of it's competition for best action game. BMW is the definition of a beautiful looking dish that tastes extremely bland. Stellar Blade at least was stupid, had mixed gameplay styles, and better bosses. So the CEO of the studio coming down expecting GOTY was absolutely high on his own farts and so are the people mad that Astro Bot, a super creative game filled with diverse gameplay and amazing stylized visuals, won.
woke has 0 meaning its just a useless buzz word for things they dislike
At this point even a cat meowing because they want food is woke
The only criticism I’ve heard about Witcher 4 is that people don’t like the fact that Ciri is a witcher because she did not need to become one. She already had some kickass powers like frigin’ time travel, so it’s a bit strange that they took those powers and gave her objectively shittier witcher powers… thing is, we are for sure going to get an explanation for this in the game, so people getting outraged over this is just dumb (it does make me laugh a lot sometimes tho).
A game I love from a couple of years ago is Ikenfell.
All this I miss when x media wasn’t woke stuff is just indicative of the declining media literacy in today’s populations
