      No they can’t admit it that’s part of the game. To play the game you have to dress up your reaction in “respectability” so you talk out the side of your mouth in code words and coded language so you can be racist and sexist while still being accepted into polite society.

        I hate how no one is allowed to enjoy anything anymore because of these assholes.

        I also hate it because it distracts from the actual real problems the industry is going though (capitalist enshittification)

            This is 99% of reactionaries and their politics. They will correctly identify a problem, but then turn around and blame it on a scapegoat. They do this because they can see the system isn’t working, but they don’t want the system to change, so they have to come up with another explanation for why it’s not working.

              The one time I dared to visit /r/KotakuInAction years after freeze-gamergate, it was to see what the cryptofascist spin was regarding all the sex pestery and creepy shit happening in Blizzard offices.

              Their take?

              “This is because of soy beta numales. They can’t conquer feeemales the traditional way so they have to do it in a roundabout way while promoting wokeness. Real alpha men Just Want To Make Good Games (yes, they capitalized it like that) and already have a tradwife helpmeet so they don’t need distractions at work.” galaxy-brain

              The implication was also that having feeemales in the office at all was an invitation for sex pestery. up-yours-woke-moralists

      It’s only controversial it involves murderfucking or other hog slop vectors. Controversy is cool. Wokeness isn’t controversial except in a way that makes hogs squeal with distress because something they don’t like was added to the slop.

    removing anything controversial

    One of the major faction you can join are Rome larping slavers who crucify people in conquered territory…

    That’s off the top of my head and I’m not the biggest New Vegas enjoyer, but I bet there is much more “controversial” stuff in that game

      The funny part is that porn games and porn mods actually exist, which makes their complaints even dumber. It’s like me going to a food truck and complaining that my favorite food is no longer on the poster (but still is on the menu)

      They don’t just want infinite pandering slop. They want anything that doesn’t pander to them to cease to exist. Anyone else enjoying anything else is perceived as a threat. galaxy-brain

    Is it woke to replace a male character with a female character if the feeeemale is sexier?

    Is it woke to remove masculinity from a masculine feeeemale?

    Are hot crossdressing furries controversial or are they woke?

    This graphic leaves a lot unanswered

    The changing historical events to push current messages as per BF V is just having one women on your never built prototype nazi gyrocopter that flies away from the historically accurate fortnite firewall innit

      Aren’t there like automatic rifle carbines in the World War I Battlefield game? A thing not invented until late WW2? Then there’s all the weapon skins like having neon purple tiger camo. “Historically accurate” my ass.

        Yes. Every single player in bf1 has a secret prototype that 12 copies were ever made and they never saw combat.

        Because otherwise it would be lines of people 100 meters apart taking pot shots with single shot rifles whenever somebody poked their head over a trench.

        But obviously the inclusion of women and black people were the problem.

        They were compalaining because they included a person with an early prosthetic because that technology wasn’t available yet, while using guns with more more advanced technology.

          That actually bothered me to death, I thought we were gonna be running around with G98s and Mosins and Enfields popping at eachother from five and ten round boltguns, but they did dig deep for any excuse to just do the same automatic-rifle shit from their other games.
