People that worry about “woke” are unironically the exact same as their caricature of “SJW leftists” they where whinging about a decade ago. They literally can’t handle even the slightest deviation from their G*mer chud worldview.

Content Warning: Appears
Normal person: Cool, thanks for the heads up. Even if I can handle it, I’m glad to know what to expect. Just one button press and it’s game start.
: [Barely coherent screeching filled with terminally online culture war jargon and slurs]Do NOT go back and play survival horror games from the 90’s, WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE
Back in the day something like this just ramped up the tension. Like “hell yeah that’s what I’m here for brother
” Reactionaries have noone to blame but themselves for ruining it.I remember first seeing the blood in mortal kombat as a kid and thinking I was going to go to hell or something, lmao, later on as a tween I got down with RE and loved the licker taking your head off at low health.
Nintendo removed the blood and Sega tried to censor it by putting it behind a code! What is this WOKE bullshit for SNOWFLAKES? 😡
They couldn’t handle playing SF2 in the arcade.
saya no uta is woke now because of the content warning
I went into Saya no Uta thinking it was going to be a fun lovectaftian time and instead I was exposed to a new type of pedophilia
that’s how the wokesters get you
“Resident Evil is SATANIC and pushing a PC agenda” - Christofash soccer mom from the 90s if they were G*mers from today
If the soccer mom was a true G*mer she’d be upset at a black guy being on the stars team and TWO of the members being women. WOKE PC PROPAGANDA
It’s funny when you realize that RE is partially meant as a Japanese homage to American horror+action movies and the first (non-cutscene) death is Kenneth, a black guy. So it would just be holding up a mirror to our own cultural atmosphere at the time.
I’m sure if the cultural warriors lived back then, they would have manufactured a story about how Capcom making a black supporting character who doesn’t instantly die in RE2 (Marvin) was because they were worried about offending the wokes.
Gamers have just become soccer moms it’s ridiculous.
They suck off Japanese games now but the instant Murdoch says otherwise, they’ll be calling to ban them because they contain “unamerican” messages.
they’ll be calling to ban them because they contain “unamerican” messages.
Chuds don’t like Japanese media or foreign media in general. They used to hate video games, comics and so on. Most of the time they just pretend to like it, so they can try to convert younger, nostalgic 30-somethings to their side.
That’s not to say that there have always been reactionaries within these groups, but they weren’t as open and there weren’t as many of them before Gamergate.
It’s so funny seeing nerds dickriding conservatives when they see these childless single men playing with children’s toys and watching cartoons as worthless d*generates who should be sent to die in a war
I really do want to point out to a lot of normies that if they got the fourth reich they so desired, the SS would come for them too.
The Nazis in the 20s/30s were full of who we’d consider failsons now. Half of them were lazy sons of factory owners and they kept repeatedly failing out of calvary school. The other half were people like Himmler who were opera nerds and obsessed with ancient runes. They were the anime otaku of their day.
Japan has FALLEN to WOKE
Many a 12 year old when they first played RE and saw this scene: Why didn’t I listen
: See? The Woke virus has taken over the youth!I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The modern incarnation of “why should I have to press 1 for English?
”
Wtf? The original call of duty modern warfare games had content warnings when first booting up the game, that allowed you to skip whole missions and cutscenes (like no Russian) without affecting campaign progress, because of the graphic violence. And this is the crowd that goes “you wouldn’t survive an MW2 lobby”, while ignoring that the game literally had a content warning lol. Content warnings have been in mainstream game for over a decade at this point.
You know, Tomb Raider has always been about a strong woman who don’t need no man. Sure back in the day the ads for it were really cringey and
, but I think it was pretty much inevitable that chuds would end up rejecting the series as time has gone on - give them more and Metroid will get the same treatment, if it hasn’t already.Funnily enough, they had been seemingly loving this rerelease because it has the old school hot pants-wearing Lara whom KOTAKU PROBABLY WANTS TO CLASSIFY AS A HATE SYMBOL
FUCK I’M GETTING SO MAD JUST IMAGINING IT AAAAAGGGHHH
They got super pissed off over the leak about Lara possibly being a lesbian in the next game and I’m like bru she’s always been.
I’m like bru she’s always been.
Not really though. In the first five PS1 games there was no romance aside from some mildly flirtatious banter she had with some of the male characters. I believe Angel of Darkness gave her a generic early 2000s dude as a love interest but that plotline didn’t get developed because the game bombed hard. I played the middle trilogy but I honestly can’t remember if she had one (or several) blandly handsome love interest(s) in some of them but it wouldn’t surprise me.
I know people ship reboot Lara with her friend from the 2013 game where the main goal was to save her from the island cult. I don’t recall getting any particularly gay vibes from that game though
The comic series from the 2013 game leaned in hard to the Sam/Lara ship to the point of apparently a script being written and a cover drawn for a story getting them together but iirc the game company told them to scrap it. The writer occasionally talks about it
the vibes I always got off Lara, Classic Lara, were different.I think the only female characters besides Lara in those games were the secret Atlantean CEO villain of the first game and the random witch CEO boss from the London levels from the third game. Why were they both evil businesswomen with magical powers
Why were they both evil businesswomen with magical powers
Because Core was pushing the agenda that small business owners who’re actually Atlantian Gods in hiding are bad.
Perhaps there is a some kind of old money aristos versus new money upstarts thing going on there, but I guess being from Atlantis or being an ancient witch would make your money pretty old
There was a mild chud uproar about Metroid Dread. Samus isn’t sexualized at all in that game, and I think they also got upset Samus was voiced by a Latina.
People who whine about content warnings
Devil May Cry series using content warning as a literal hype-builder since the early 2000sA content warning for the gruesome death scenes whenever you miss a jump or whatever?
It’s for racially/culturally insensitive portrayals of different groups, like certain indigenous peoples, as inherent to a series literally named “Tomb Raider”.
Failing the river slide sequence over and over to own the woke
it’s extra funny because (one of?) the new tomb raider trilogy games is rammed with anti-communism. not woke at all
Really how?
The gulag section in Rise of the Tomb Raider, it’s just the most Solzhenitsyn brained shit I’ve seen outside of Reddit.
I quit partway through. That shit was so fucking bad. the devs literally think gulags are concentration camps but with snow. I did like using photo mode to take some nice shots of Lenin statues.
They mistranslated posters honoring the fallen of WW2 into Lenin propaganda to be scary or some shit. They also fuck up with Greek dialect big time. The whole this is just orientalist BS
There’s one of those collectible mission things where you can track down Soviet flags and cut them down to let them fly away. The game doesn’t say why you’re doing this, but the implications is you’re cleaning the area of some horrifying past. Also there’s a journal entry somewhere that refers to the Soviets as colonizers.
Literally the same shit they had before COPS aired in the 90s
They did the same shit when the Dead Space remake had it. I don’t get why they take it so seriously. Like it flashes on the screen for a few seconds and its gone. Same with whining about pronouns. Make your character the CIS sigma male kracker that you want and just ignore everything else.
will he come back for a round two this time with content warnings?Please let this happen. New emoji material would be nice
I just came across a video on the subject from the British pronoun guy while looking for videos on the game, but you couldn’t pay me to watch it though. The thumbnail has the two random SJW ladies they have been using for 10 years
I was surprised to see him, you’d think becoming a laughing stock like that would make you want to live in witness protection for the rest of your days but I guess these guys have no concept of shame
it’s dumb to be mad about it but for dead space i kinda wonder who it’s for? like, the gratuitous snuff clips in tomb raider 2013 are out of nowhere but dead space is famous for being grisly so everyone should know what they’re getting into before they even download the thing.
everyone should know what they’re getting into before they even download the thing.
Especially since they advertised it the same way they advertised the original release - with a montage of the various grisly death animations.
oh yeah “your mom hates this!” smh
I think that was Dead Space 2.
Dead Space and its remake had the Isaac dying various ways with “twinkle twinkle little star” thing.
liberal trash
Bro doesn’t even know what that means.
I hate gamers so fucking much
I swear, it feels like the bourgeoisie have more revolutionary potential to overthrow themselves than the working class ever will. I don’t actually believe this, mind you, but look at my working class, dawg.
i bet you that most of these fkers dont work for a living and are instead living off daddy’s 5 rental properties
