Oh I think we will clash more in the future. An unmovable object and an unstoppable force kinda thing but I like a good clash, as long as both parties can acknowledge when they are wrong and/ or can accept other views Im all for it.

I got a thick skin and a verbal way of outing. Just like you. I can only respect a worthy opponent. :D Even if we're miles apart on any given subject. Not agreeing isnt the same as not respecting.

It's all good my man.
I'm not going to fuck you.

Essentially what Arrowhead does is also Performative Activism, but in the opposite direction of the Woke movement. So in essence, its the Dark side of the Force. Still the Force, but the other side of it.

Reading it like this, it makes more sense. Is this what you meant?
Not sure if this matches what I meant, but I'm not too familiar with these terms. However, it doesn't matter, really. As long as the game is fun I never gave a fuck about what it includes. I don't get triggered if the game only represents males, and I don't get triggered if the game has Angrboda represented as a black teen.

The last bit matters. But sometimes games will just scream Woke without having to look for clues. Kinda like the mentioned Saints Row.
If it fits, it fits. But forcefully shoehorned in DEI crap can be seen from miles away.

Of course it can, but my problem is not with people being against that (which I'm very much against). My problem is with people being against ANY game that is not a muscle dude or a big titted woman. If it has a black person, ooof, then they shout woke and god knows what.

Conversely you have the idiots that will shout crap because a game doesn't have POC or a gay character, as if that's what defines good writing.

Ultimately, what's funny is that this forum is filled with the former and has none of the latter, kinda like the opposite of resetera.

So.. rich people who can just buy a new PC to play the game can harass other players at will?




How is Helldivers woke? It's loosely based on Starship Troopers which was all but what is now considered Woke. It pokes fun at the USA and isnt afraid to show it.

Helldivers is very obviously not woke as it satirizes the woke crowd's agenda for suppressing free speech and dialogue, as well as punishing thought crimes.
It also satirizes capitalism associated with a military industrial complex which is a lot more prevalent with the right wing.

What a woke Helldivers would look like is having the ability to choose pronouns, gender conformity levels and LGBTQ capes (which the devs refused, and quite adamantly so).

Of course, extremists of either side will claim the game is "very obviously" right wing or woke, depending on said extremists' side.
In reality, the game shits on exactly on those extremists of both sides, and it's mighty fun to watch that crowd's inability to understand that the joke's about them.

Ah yes I get your point. The only Woke part that can die a silent and slow death for me is the forced version. Tacked on as an afterthought to appease a minority.

If the diversity fits within the story, GO FOR IT!

I just hate stuff thats forced, in all aspects of gaming. Being it a purple haired non binary Samurai or whatever. GTFO with that stuff.

This was my take on it also... Though I was losing my mind.

😂 only this guy could say something like this unironically. The same guy that called a black samurai "Pet", mind you.

Be careful with any sort of discussion with that user, though. He'll often use cheap tactics and blatant lies to defame and harass you, in case you get on his wrong side.

For some people there's no bad tactics, only bad targets.

For the last time, the sentences
"This person paraded/treated the other like a pet"
and
"I consider him a pet"
have different meanings and can be distinguished with a basic understanding of English.

Those who conflate the two either have serious difficulty in understanding the language or are being unbelievably dishonest.
