My favourite “civ is woke now” argument is that district placement emphasizes the local geography’s influence on your civilization, which is marxist and woke. And like… how the fuck were you playing civ before? Even without civ VI forcing you to be more mindful of it geography is obviously always huge in a 4X. It’s literally the first 3 Xs! And it’s the 4th X in any game with remotely interesting combat.
Could you help me try to understand how district placement emphasizing the local geography’s influence on a civilization is somehow woke? I can’t make the connection at all. If you’ve seen that take, could you elaborate?
They think the idea that geography and/or climate can shape a civilization is woke. Their idea is that civilizations and culture are something that I guess exists a priori as “good” or “bad”, and “developed” or “undeveloped”. The very idea that a bad crop yield or lack of local resources can shape how a society develops apparently contradicts with the reactionary worldview.
What the fuck do they think shapes a civilization? Some magically scarce yet potentially infinite “willpower” resource? Or is it calipers time and “build pyramids” is just in the Egyptian genes (or aliens, if they’re that white in their beliefs about how nonwhites can’t build stuff)?
I think it’s either full calipers, or very terminal econ brain. I guess when the modern world is so focused on spreadsheets, it may be easy to forget that there is a world that humans are forced to interact with.
Silly Marxist, history is about who believes hardest in the idea of race and the nation and brings it into being. Everyone else loses and has their stuff taken from them, and rightly so.
Yeah, it was…a very strange decision. They have Sitting Bull as their leader, Dog soldiers as their unique unit and Totem poles as their unique building. It’s uhh…not great.
BolshevistsMarxists are trying to RUIN CIV by adding Native Americans!”SMH at these fake gamer boys trying to push their politics into our hobby

It’s not coincidence that one of the Nazis’ propaganda films was literally titled Triumph of the Will.
It can be poetic when the delusion of mind over matter hits material limits, though.
This is my favorite one of these lol

I love this; I’ll use this with chuds crying about le woke in video games.
imo civ should stop being woke and retvrn to tradition by adding back Stalin and Mao as leaders.
And not just that, multiple civ haves have had F*male Leaders! The whole series is completely gone woke!
wait they had specific north american civs before regressing to ‘native american’ in 4?

At least Stalin and Mao are in the game, even if Stalin is an “aggressive” leader and their civpedia entries are even libbier than wikipedia.
No no no you see the only FAKE gamers are GIRLS even if they’ve been playing Civ since 1991.
i learned about Civ at a friend’s house because his mom was playing it on PC. she would probalbly be about 65 now
