    These guys are dumber than a box of rocks

    FFVII: Forced crossdressing! “Subtle pro-climate action messaging… you start the game working for an eco-terrorism group” data-laughing

    Witcher 2 is not woke despite the game being pretty heavyhanded about racism being bad. Also you can betray your cop friend and join forces with a minority freedom fighter after the first act

    Deus Ex is apparently not woke despite the same spreadsheet shitting on Cyberpunk 2077 for having anti-capitalist messaging and being pro-transhumanism and body modification

      I thought I didn’t buy Civ 5 or 6 because I was tired of the franchise but it turns out it’s actually because I uphold AES, good to know.

      I’ve started growing weary of the franchise and still play 5 if I play at all. It’s very eurocentric, believes in Great Man, and believes in End of History nonsense. It has warped multiple generations’ understanding of history as something deterministic. Like Native Americans didn’t have cars because they never researched animal husbandry so that’s why they got wiped out by the technologically superior Spanish.

      There’s no implementation of food cultivation outside of European style farming. There’s no alternate tech trees for not having certain resources. Hint: if there aren’t any sources of iron near you, you’re not discovering steel. If there are no horses, you’re not discovering horseback riding. The list goes on and on.

      This doesn’t even get into how it applies government and law. It’s still “Pick good guy form of government to make people happy and authoritarian evil gobermint to build military units faster.”

      Yeah in Civ VI they include communism, fascism and “democracy” in the game overtly as government types (Civ V had vague social policy trees of order, autocracy and freedom). Liberalism is a policy card that every government can use that gives happiness. Capitalism is a separate policy that everyone gets that includes some economic policy cards. Pretty damn lib shit, where to start with the problems here? It’s so incoherent and capitalist-realist brained. Capitalism and Liberalism are inevitable and permanent. If you are communism you aren’t a democracy apparently, and democracy is actually when you let corporations do whatever they want in a bourgeois dictatorship.

      They also made the prominent feature of communism internal trade routes, which really is just indicative of siege communism conditions of the USSR and the war mode of those revolutions. In Civ it wouldn’t necessarily be that way if most of the world was communist and at peace for instance, the prominent boosts for communism should be happiness boosts, production boost and science boost is there and good & getting rid of gold as a resource and converting it into bonuses for other things like production and growth.

      I don’t expect a mainstream game to use overt marxist analysis, but this is very sloppy design. Why not call the 3 government types instead “Liberal Democracy”, “Communist Republic” & “Fascist Autocracy”. Something like that at least to keep it consistent. Then have you unlock Liberal Democracy first, and then have some decisions and events and conditions that allow you to go one way or the other (by suppressing the revolution or by letting it wash over your nation). Fascist countries should demand constant war and burn out really quick, and have to regress back into a social-democratic “Liberal Democracy”. Communist Republics could likewise regress through a color revolution event back into Liberal Democracies.

    Reading the language used throughout the document it’s funny to see how these guys have morphed from edgy 4chan gamers into pearl-clutching Pat Robertsons

      They have a conspiracy myth going on that basically equates transhumanism with being transgender.

      Which sounds absolutely based, but as usual, that’s lost on them.

      They are of course, >!troonism!< & DEI is 5th generation asymmetric warfare against our supply lines. However, wars are won by logistics. Fighting any little skirmish along front lines in tertiary theaters is a strategical blunder that is bound to distract & avert and ultimately tire out before hot engagement has even begun. And precisely that is factored into the plans of the adversary already. It is critical to understand that we are at a huge strategical disadvantage at the current state of the war. We have neither the troops nor the supplies to enact an assault along the entire front line.

      Instead, in order to achieve operational dominance we must establish a schwerpunkt along critical infrastructure of the enemy from which we can effectively pivot into offensive operations. The fulcrum is not the internet and certainly not computer games, as much as I understand that many like to believe they are, but [TOP SECRET]. A thrust along this axis penetrating enemy lines would immediately disrupt the adversary’s command and control over our supply lines and cause a cascading effect of disarray.

      By maintaining operational momentum we would be able to facilitate rapid exploitation of the breach achieving breakthrough, ultimately enveloping enemy forces and securing our most important strategic objectives for the moment.

      I mean… what do you even say after reading something like this. It’s fucking embarrassing.

        Half Life 2 is recommended? The game LITERALLY has TWO women in it. A BLACK who’s HANDICAPPED. BLACK civilians. The BAD GUY is WHITE. Re-do this list.

        Maybe the chud only remembers the game after it was heavily modded for goon cave use. awooga

                One of my most important epiphanies as I went through college was that seeing women as fellow human beings that have libidos and also like having sex was a sort of confidence and serenity aura that made dating relatively easy.

                I think a lot of chuds have this deeply entrenched dogmatic belief (reinforced by their treats) that they have to bribe, trick, coerce, or SV their way into someone’s pants, and if they can’t do that, then they have to consign themselves to the goon cave. peterson-pill-dinner

                  It’s how the PUA industry took off. Those that can’t get laid become incels and hate themselves and everyone around them and swallow the black pill and start freebasing esoteric fascism.

      Conservatives have always been against climate change. It goes:

      “There is no global warming.”

      “Okay global warming is real but it’s not that bad.”

      “It is that bad but it’s not man-made so there’s nothing we can do.” (Mainstream conservatives are starting to take this position)

      “It is man-made and it’s caused by non-Americans and non-whites, so we should eradicate those people.”

      The neo-nazi, terminally online gamergaters are still on the “it’s not real” part.

        Yeah, I understand that. I just didn’t realize “woke” included literally everything conservatives oppose? Idk climate change just doesn’t really fit what I had loosely defined it as on their behalf. I realize their ideology is incoherent anyway and there’s not much point.

        Also I already see quite a few “most pollution is from China/India/Africa” arguments online

      They wanted to not care about things above all else, so their default position as freeze-gamer is to be really mad at people caring about things, no matter how important those things were.

    Once again finding it extremely funny that these dorks are losing a culture war that only they are fighting.

    The “pro-DEI messaging” about Civ VI is also great. I guess it’s DEI when a non-anglo nation has a leader who has the same ethnicity as the majority of its people? Which is even funnier considering that, historically, most leaders of anglo and non-anglo countries alike were never actually elected to begin with.
