>Nobody tries to be woke. A bunch of very online lunatics and far right weirdos are trying really hard to stick that label onto everything that doesn't fit neatly into their worldview. They decry that everything is “political” yet they are the ones making things political. Ignore them or laugh them off. What they crave most of all is outrage and pain in their perceived opponents. Don't give it to them.

>Isn't 'woke' just what boomers call being a kind and considerate human being, though?

[–]QuiGonQuinn5 -17 points 22 hours ago

>You are asking cowering Reddit socialists who are scared to go against the hivemind. I guarantee less people will play and enjoy your game due to the pronoun thing, it's become too divisive

[–]Rainbolt 6 points 22 hours ago

>I guarantee that you're a frickin weirdo if a game giving you one extra option to pick pronouns makes you not play it.

>It's always funny how that side of things always go around calling others npc's and hiveminds as if they don't lock step to their own ideologues and screech at anything that dares step out of line.

>Here is a pro tip: If someone thinks your game is too "woke", ignore them.

>Woke is old news. The hip kids are using DEI now

One of them said just two words: "discardable feedback" :marseyxd:

These will be the first people to run to Kotaku when their game fails, begging for an article about how the evil right-wing white man threw another starving, poor alphabet-cult developer on the street.

They cant even go there anymore. Kotaku ceos said do game guides or get fired because their bs wasnt selling.

Throw in some "I recieved death threats from The Far Right" (no screenshots or proof of any kind whatsoever) and then you are golden.

Why does "woke" even have to exist when every single demographic has the right to be treated as human? :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy:

It's funny they always forget !chuds are the primary audiences of vidya and gym/martial arts content.

Incorrect. What they crave most is :marseyblackcock:

Too difficult to write dialogue with the MC pronoun? Was never going to make it in the first place

Using a placeholder for pronouns is too much code! :marseyragingtyping:

"What we do is good because we're the good guys chuds!"

Seems like a great way to continuously piss off people and lose any progress you make.

The best way to navigate around this culture war bs is to avoid engaging with it entirely - at the end of the day, the people boycotting/buying things based on if they think it panders to their personal politics are ravenous and fleeting. They're not buying a game because it's good, or avoiding a game because it's bad - they're spending their time looking for things to be angry at/vindicated by.

>see annoying dumb shit in game

>"omg just liek ignore it" "stop looking for things to get mad at"

>I've seen some weird localization decisions; but they have nothing to do with left ideology. I've seen a lot of sane censorship, for example, removing pointless homophobic jokes. I have a lot of questions for the people who want that stuff left in their games - like if they even see how that can be extremely harmful.

>Is it unreasonable, that as a gay person, that I can't enjoy a game without being fear of it having unmarked homophobic jokes?

>That's pretty gross, and all I really need to hear.

>It's better to let artists portray the message they want, and to avoid hate speech. It's that simple. If you don't like artists portraying what they want, or you don't want to avoid hate speech, then you can wear it as a fundamental disagreement.

I don't know why they're worried, none of these people will ever release a game.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.

The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.

Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
