@SynthPotato Most of the "anti-woke" I see are calling for less censorship, less political correctness, less quotas and checklists.
They want the good things that was in fictional media to make a return. They want East Asian games to stay East Asian.
They reacting to policies they don't like

[Controvert @Controvert60811]

@SynthPotato Woke are the ones constantly outraged. They are even outraged about Male and Female. Outrage about how East Asian games is "problematic", all the "phobia" and "objectification" labels, almost all exclusively Woke outrage.
Apparently, Everything must be Westernized and Censored!

And who started the culture war? I love how progressives on this platform act as if the culture war spontaneously erupted without pretext. They purposely ignore the coordinated effort to enforce feminist doctrine upon the industry that led to said culture war.

マジでこの欧米的AI規制がこのまま続けば、文章をワードとかで作成していて、小説書きが児童が虐待され死ぬシーンを書くときに『そんな表現は変換決定できません』とかいって変換と決定を拒否するIMEとかでてきそう。

Liberals will ask, "Why can't you just enjoy it?" at the same time other Liberals post, "Everything I do in life is with the intention of making you miserable".

People are not angry because they can't enjoy things. They are angry because they correctly understand that the things they once loved are being converted into weapons for an ideology that hates them.

There is a very obvious sadistic side to Progressivism's hijacking of things like movies and video games. These people do not love the media they're destroying. They're not trying to make something good. They just want revenge against the normal world.

They want the actual fans to feel alienated and dispossessed. That's the entire point.

And every so often, someone is bold enough to admit it.

Agenda filled content has become so normalized, people are just starting to accept it. Its like a form of stockholm syndrome. "modern audience" are hostages of fanatic ideologues that seek force their beliefs onto everyone else. Theres no cure when whole industries are captured🙃

[がいらくGairaku@台湾 @Gairaku_tw]

是說不管是NICONICO動畫還是FANZA還是Pommu還是DLSITE。我看到的都是原本台灣都是用日本網站用得好好的，相安無事，甚至還來台灣宣傳辦活動。
然後有一天不知道從哪裡跑來其他外國人糟蹋日本網站，之後台灣就跟著一起被劃入外國區一起被日本網站封鎖。
說真的我也是覺得快受夠了。

censorship in games discourse today is indistinguishable from this post in 2015 from Blade & Soul forums

this was directed at people upset by a quest based on Korean folklore "The Heavenly Maiden and the Woodcutter" being altered in the western release

when will it end

🚨BREAKING: Hampshire police claim they felt controlled and manipulated to "think a certain way" after mandatory DEI training, the Times have exposed

It's confirmed: they're brainwashing the police to discriminate against natives.

「洋ゲーのキャラがポリコレでブスになった」という話題が出ると「洋ゲーのキャラなんて昔からオークだった」という意見を見かけます。

確かに、日本人はアメコミ的な劇画調のキャラクターデザインに馴染みが薄いため、そう感じるのも無理はありません。

ただ、実はその劇画調のデザインに慣れ親しんでいる海外でも、近年の変化については「昔とは違う」「魅力がなくなった」と感じている人が少なくないのです。

その理由としてよく挙げられるのが、活動家が多様性やポリコレ、フェミニズムといったイデオロギーを「リスクマネジメント」や「炎上対策」と称し、コンサルティングの形でゲーム開発に強く関与するようになったことです。

特に近年は、ポリコレ論争の中心として名前が挙がるコンサルティング企業（例：Sweet Baby Inc.）などが大きな議論の対象となっています。

また、この流れは突然始まったものではなく、2010年代にはゲームにおける女性表現を批判していたフェミニスト活動家のアニータ・サーキシアン氏が大きな影響力を持ち「ゲームは変わるべきだ」「従来の表現は問題だ」という価値観を業界に広めていきました。

その変化の代表例としてよく挙げられるのが、人気の高かった前作主人公を序盤で退場させたことで物議を醸し、筋骨隆々な女性キャラクターも大きな議論を呼んだ「The Last of Us Part II」や、商業的に大きく苦戦した「Concord」などです。

従来のゲームでは
「美しい」
「格好いい」
「可愛い」
「セクシー」
といった、性別ごとの特徴を活かした分かりやすい魅力が重視されていました。
しかし近年は、それらを意図的に避け、男性的な服装や体型、アスリートのような筋肉質な体格、あるいは太めの体型など、
「従来の美意識に縛られない多様性」
を優先する傾向が見られます。

その結果、多くのユーザーがキャラクターに求めていた魅力とは方向性がズレてしまい「ポリコレでブスになった」という反発を招くようになりました。

少なくともこの議論は「日本人が洋ゲー顔に慣れていない」という話ではありません。

海外のユーザー自身が、デザインの変化を感じているのです。

また、この流れは洋ゲーだけの話でもありません。
近年は「ドラゴンクエスト」や「ポケモン」でも、主人公選択時の「男女」という表記が変更・廃止される例が見られます。
「性別による固定観念をなくすべきだ」という欧米発のイデオロギーが、日本のゲームデザインにも影響を与えるようになっているのです。

そしてこれは、近年度々問題になっているクレジットカード規制、欧米の反ポルノ団体がSteamの成人向けゲームの販売停止を求めて圧力をかけた件とも無関係ではなく、結局のところ根っこは同じです。

ユーザーが求めるものより、一部の活動家が考える「正しさ」を優先する。

その結果として起きているのが、キャラクターデザインの変化であり、表現規制の強化であり、そして現在のポリコレ論争なのです。

This was it, the beginning of the PlayStation fall.

Slowly, we got worse and worse 1st party games.

Until we finally ended up with Concord.

[Savvy ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) @MadamSavvy]

So she's lying and has been trying to go after @elonmusk for a while. @NCOSE's lying sham of a petition did not make Apple remove grok.

Jess Asato believes the anime inspired avatar Ani, Grok's assistant thing, is child abuse material and genuinely believes Ani is a child. That is lunacy.

On top of that, she voted AGAINST the rape gang inquiry, proving she does not care about women and especially not children.

[MasteroftheTDS @MasteroftheTDS]

Interesting development.

Baby Ghosts, the organization that helped launch Sweet Baby Inc., has officially become a government-recognized charity focused on “the advancement of cooperative education.”

According to the announcement, donations will fund developer bursaries, peer supports, educational materials, and staff salaries.

Amazon cancelled the new Stargate show.

The rumor is that the show writer, Martin Gero, would not budge on compromising lore or elements within the show for a "wider modern audience" as they did with Rings of Power for LoTR lore.

Martin Gero wanted to create a show that maintained continuity in the story and lore of the old shows, including the mythology and tech, while respecting the 17 seasons of history.

Amazon instead wanted something new for the "modern audience" that's more accessible, reimagined, with more modern casual sensibilities.

Because the showrunners wanted to maintain integrity rather than turn Stargate into another "modern audience slop" like Rings of Power, Amazon leadership canceled it. The franchise heavyweight, like Joseph Mallozzi, was very excited for the fresh stories Gero worked on. Amazon says they are still open to Stargate, just not "this" version... yes they wanted to Rings of Powerify Stargate.

We really can't hate these people enough.

こんなきれいなキャラクターが劣ったダサい劣等民族の日本人ではない。これは白人である。君たち日本人の作家は醜いままのありのままアジア人を描いていいんですよ。僕たちはそれを差別しないので醜いありのままの自分たちを描きましょうよ！僕たち憧れるのはやめましょうよ。自信を持って！

レベルの言葉を語ってたポリコレ白人いたからなぁ。

@yura_kana_ They are also hypocrites, they will preach about multiculturalism & tolerance for other cultures and beliefs but that only applies selectively. Japan is not on that list.
The issue is never the issue, they have their own agenda, using fear and global outrage to control JPN media.

[Controvert @Controvert60811]

@yura_kana_ Ideologically possessed activists that constantly demand Japanese entertainment to change to their demands and sensibilities.
They have an extreme obsession at demanding real life laws to apply to fiction, but they also pick and choose when to apply that logic.
