I'm a reply-guy.

@Forty1_0 To be fair, I see people who can't read on all sides, everywhere. In every country.

Reading is a very niche hobby, outside of 360 characters per-topic anyway.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@JefferyDoomer I'm withholding judgment until it's out.

I think both sides are overreacting. The woke people jumping to defend it (even though they don't play games like this, GoW is a known chud game), and the chuds.

Who overreact by jumping to conclusions about faye. Just let 'em cook.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

I block anyone who have 'only certain people can reply to this post' enabled.

If you can't share your intellectual space, I'm not sharing mine with you.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

It's weird how people who are anti-colonialism are almost ALWAYS pro-colonialism of their own country.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@princesalamwane I don't think there's any reason to be mad about this.

Players are entitled to their preferences.

They want to play as the God of War in a game that's always been about playing as the God of War.

Oh well.

@Khajin3 @x0Starlight We're all entitled to our opinion, you're the one who seems pissed about it.

Which seems more like a bitch thing to be than just not liking the new main character in a franchise.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@Khajin3 @x0Starlight Take your own advice.

Also trust me, the ones who matter are just not finding her likable, not because she's a woman. She's not attractive enough and her performance is kind of wooden.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@Khajin3 @x0Starlight You clearly don't know what the discourse is about, honestly you seem pretty low IQ. Just by the way you're speaking. Is english your second language?

You have to be trolling. She looks WAY different here

She's average looking at best. Stop coping. Gamers like pretty characters

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@Khajin3 @x0Starlight Character to look attractive because there's no reason they shouldn't be. She only looks... Fine. Like, average looking.

Which isn't high-fantasy.

And you're being super copium right now. 9 times out of 10, when a character appears in trailers, thats how they look on release.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@RealLuthen Most people are driven into politics for reasons like that. It's no easy thing, it requires powerful motivation to get into politics.

How the world effects your family is a huge reason.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@Khajin3 @x0Starlight I hope they will. There's no guarantee, but with audience feedback maybe they will.

And you know what expectations. What audiences want. Duh.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@Khajin3 @x0Starlight No she don't.

And if your counter-argument is 'they aged her for the role and didn't use the same beautification hollywood does',

then that's still not looking like the actress, or playing to audience expetations.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@ChewChewBeats Yeah, it's wild how the black community collectively is so self-unaware.

The few that are get ostracized and excommunicated, which makes it worse and worse. If you point out that black people treat other races badly, and that's why other race's distrust them, you're a houseslave

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@Dominos_UK As someone who is very anti-woke, I'm still withholding judgement on this.

I'm not sure the 'inject female character for inclusion' agenda is represented here. It kind of makes sense from a lore standpoint.

I wish the main character was better looking though.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@esjesjesj The gap between sane people and woke people isn't that big yet. It can be fixed, if we don't be condescending assholes about it.

They aren't killing people in the streets or anything, at least not nation wide. Yet.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@esjesjesj This is one of the things I'm against Musk on.

Just because members of our family align themselves with toxic, mentally ill ideologies doesn't mean we should disown them.

You can say the hard truth without doing that.

Like if my son became muslim, I'd just tell him the truth.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@thepiratefit @elonmusk This is a color / contrast change mostly.

Not that it isnt tragic and no one should care.

But I also notice far-left people aren't bringing this up either.

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@PotatoCam69 Honestly, we're not sure yet.

I'm the exact kind of guy to diss a woke marketing scheme type game. But... I'm not sure that is what this is yet. We'll have to wait and see.

But woke agenda games do exist and are a plague on the industry, and there are many red flags for them...

[TheNewMetric @SomeLazyDev]

@esjesjesj To be fair plenty of people on the far left disown their parents over politics too.

It's not uncommon.
