@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions And, again, every single one of these medias falls under this definition? What would you say to people who call certain movies “woke” because a specific actor is in there? Claiming I’m not honest as if we don’t have people claiming “this actor being in the movie makes it woke.”
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions Sure.
But you would have to establish that these themes in all of these pieces of media are unnecessary to the story and weaken it, not simply having the message being bad.
You’d also need to show that depiction or criticism of these groups is shallow and just “X bad, Y good.”
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions Okay.
Let’s take GTA 6, as it was shown in the thumbnails. Where is the unnecessary leftism in that game? Was it… Lucia wielding a shotgun? Her fighting off a man? Her being the more dominant and outspoken one in her relationship with Jason?
What woke ideology is in that game?
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions No, I don’t, because you said “they killed him and replaced him with a weaker female character.” That is not, “they changed who the other playable character is,” that is you implying Joel died so Abby could be propped up.
If you purely mean gameplay, then sure. We agree.
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions She is the second playable character, yes, but she doesn’t take Joel’s role in the story. At best, you can say her gameplay and arc parallel Joel’s, which I agree with, but she never occupies the same position as Joel did in the first game.
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions Because it’s not. Why does there need to be an objective stance of what is and isn’t pleasing? You can want characters to look pleasing according to your own subjective taste of what is and isn’t pleasing to you. I don’t need to rely on an objective stance of beauty.
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions What’s the contradiction? Beauty is subjective but that doesn’t mean you can’t want characters to look pleasing. My point is this is unfairly targeted mostly at women and turns, “I don’t like how she looks,” into “they did this on purpose to spite men and her character sucks.”
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions That’s the main issue. No one is saying you can’t want characters to be pleasing to look at, but this is primarily pushed on women to look more “sexy” for male players, and if they don’t find them attractive, suddenly the game is bad and the character sucks. It doesn’t follow.
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions Sure, but that can’t be framed as media criticism. “Ugly” is subjective. Whether you or I find a fictional female character attractive is irrelevant to if she’s a good character or not. And do you have any proof that these “ugly” fictional women are costing companies money?
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions You haven’t fucking played it. How do you know if it’s good or not? And how is Jason a cuck, exactly? Because she’s more of the dominant one in their relationship?
That’s not what being a cuck is. And do you need to relate to every single character or else they’re bad?
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions Again, whether or not you want to fuck her is irrelevant. I quite literally said, “her having these beliefs doesn’t make the game endorses it,” and your response is… “she’s cringe, woke, ugly and hates white boys.”
…Okay? What does that have to do with what I said?
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions You know, at some point, you’re gonna have to stop blaming the controller if that’s what you think. Also, no “woke ass things”? Does J confronting B.J about his whitewashed version of America not count? Why not?
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions You still haven’t explained how. Just repeating yourself like a broken record doesn’t make you right. Do you think if you say it enough times, it turns into an actual argument?
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions You really think I’ve never seen this before? I have, and it’s bad. The examples here are poor and not real criticism.
One of my favorite games is on here. Until Dawn, and why is it woke?
Because Emily is Asian and Matt is black, which promotes “race mixing.”
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions No. I would like you to actually explain your position, because all I’ve gotten is, “look at the thumbnails,” which is useless. Again, is this standard consistent? If someone had a thumbnail of a “woke game” and said it was a masterpiece, would you believe that?
@SkeleTruth@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions But, “she’s ugly,” just tells us that you don’t find a fictional female character pleasing to the eyes. Okay. That’s your opinion, but irrelevant in terms of if she’s a good character or not.
Men are allowed to look vastly different but women must fit under one beauty category.
@BWher8692@SkeleTruth@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions GTA 6 isn’t out yet. We don’t know how Lucia will be handled. Maybe she will be poorly written. Maybe she won’t. We don’t know.
“It’s everywhere, but I can’t give any examples but trust me, bro.”
Also massive tell on yourself. Video games are keeping you in check? Yikes.
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions If I make a thumbnail about GTA 6 and said it was a masterpiece, would you believe that? And again, what specific “woke political crap,” and Lucia being able to fight a man doesn’t automatically make her a “girl boss.” The game isn’t even out yet.
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions If you think her writing is clumsy, explain it. A character having a belief you don’t like doesn’t mean the game endorses it, and all of these people talking about Wolfenstein II?
@BWher8692@NothinKittyz@Sith_Religions *Black people
Grace is a black resistance leader in Nazi-occupied America. Why does her inclusion in the game not make any sense? She does racial resentment and talks about it, but by the end, she unites everyone to fight against the Nazis, so she isn’t treated as correct.
