It was the other way around. The game was never "championed and praised" for being anti-woke.
Rather the game was target of a coordinated harassment and defamation campaign by western access media, namely IGN, because of some nefariously translated comments on social media by the game's director. And then IGN+friends attributed low review scores based on their perceived lack of representation in a game set in an ancient Chinese mythical land starring a talking monkey that fights Chinese folklore monsters.
The only thing the "anti-woke" people did was laugh at how little IGN's sphere of influence became when the game's sales skyrocketed.
There's nothing anti-woke about the game. The game simply lacks woke elements, but that doesn't make it anti-woke. An anti-woke game would be going out of their way to paint woke stuff as evil or stupid, for example, and there's none of that there.
Please, let's not move the needle to call anti-woke at anything that isn't festered with woke elements.
Im not saying the game has anything anti woke… everything is anti woke to woke freaks. Im saying the anti woke crowd championed the game.
100% anti woke people got behind the game more because of what the Woke crowd/ign likes complained about, and then when the devs said not to mention feminist propaganda or whatever they said, they got more support. Hero levels lol. Its like an easy reverse psychology for victory lol.
Its human nature. But it’s weird seeing people say, great this game beat the woke propaganda, but then pretend they didn't champion for the game because of the whole woke vs anti woke argument…
Just like Harry Potter, anti woke side wanted it to succeed to spite the Woke crowd, which Im happy Harry Potter sold so well and beat that woke cancel culture.
I couldnt give 2 shits about Harry Potter but I wanted it to succeed for the same reasons as people wanted Wu Kong to succeed. But Im not gonna pretend either deserves GOTY. It got way more than it deserved
Like I said, I never said the game was anti woke and Im not moving the needle. Far from it, Im generally anti woke myself, but I dont let it dictate my life and start supporting other shits because they are anti woke too lol.
Lets not pretend there arent people who are mentally obsessed with the whole argument that are on the anti woke side too. They will champion any tom dick and harry because it supports their views.
I wont get deep into politics but a quick exmaple of retards on both sides.
I saw a comment the other day on reddit after watching The Witch. The bloody arguments were all about patriarchy and woke vs anti woke, vs christians lol.
There were actually people supporting “The Witch” character because to them (totally delusional and stretching) she’s against the “patriarchy”.
This is a witch in the movie, who kidnaps children, grinds them into a pulp and eats them and baths in their blood. The Witch also kills and eats animals, rapes a minor and kills the whole family. But woke freaks think she’s the “goodie”. Pure mental illness.
On the other side, you get a politician who say Jeff Epstein and P Diddy are their friend, great friends but because they are right winged/anti woke there is no suspicion lol.
Humans are retarded and cant think for themselves.
