      Because the game sold and reviewed well, so it goes against the narrative of “get woke go broke”

        I think literally every business in the world has managed to tow that line. It’s not like the right stopped drinking bud light. Although they probably should have.

      Mainly because you can shove “woke” shit down peoples throats and they won’t care as long as they get to play a manly man or stacked chick and the story and characters are well developed. It’s just when the game is really bad that people care about it and then the studios can blame the poor performance on the alt-right as a cop out for their shitty game. I.e. Star Wars outlaws and Concorde

      I feel like people might have. I vaguely remember when it first came out that there was someone on youtube uploading videos of them assaulting the woman’s suffrage protester and they got taken down after blowing up.

        Anti racism is woke. Arthur actively beats the shit out of or yells at anyone who is racist. Arthur is woke. This is a good thing.

          Not sure if satire.

          Being not racist is woke now? I thought it was just normal.

            Woke is just things the right don’t like. Even if it’s just a personal thing like salad.

              I love comments like this. Reinforces how similar the left and right are.

              Right: woke! socialism! communist! = thing they don’t like.

              Left: racist! bigot! fascist! = thing they don’t like.

              Two sides of the same coin.

                Show me the example of a left-wing politician talking about woke.

            Have you seen the average gamer responses lately? The needle for woke has now moved to female protagonist = woke unless she’s shaped like an anime girl anyway

            Not to say that youre wrong, or to imply that ‘woke’ is a real concept beyond whatever makes fascist chuds feel bad in their undeveloped brains, but being anti-racist is a lot different than being not racist, and takes a lot more courage.

            Tax is woke. The neighbour who fills up my wheely bin is woke. Kids who play music on the bus are woke.

      Nobody except the craziest of crazy thinks negatively about woke stuff if the actual content is good. Examples of good ones from the top of my hat: Arcane S1, Last of Us S1E3, Twin Peaks S3E4.

      This is how you actually influence opinions to a good direction.

      When the wokeism was apparently more important to the producers than the quality of the actual product is when shit gets irritating and from the pov of activism, counter-productive.

        i have only ever heard good things about that show. it apparently brought in a lot of new players (who then promptly left because they realized what the game and community were like).

          I never played the game (League of Legends) and the show didn’t really make me want to play it. The show (at least season 1, I haven’t finished it yet) is still superb.
