@ChristiJunior @coded_artist on character is woke, and you can choose not to talk to her. Literally unimportant.it feels like a jab honestly

@Seth_Wachhaltamittel @ChristiJunior If it was unimportant, why was it added there?
Also the main plotline stinks of moral relativism, the bread and butter of communists.

@ChristiJunior Yes, unfortunately.
Several hours in, and there's definitely moral relativism, and one feminist dialogue, a blue-haired freak NPC you can talk to, optional, but disgusting nonetheless.

It's starting to sour the experience, as mechanically the game is great, and the bosses are getting better.

But the "demon's aren't the bad guys" BS is getting to me.
Bunch of "freedom fighters" lead by a woman, of course, are the true good guys.

Reminds me of Time Spinner, a good game if you ignore all dialogue.
Not nearly as bad, but makes me worry for the Future of Lady Bug studio.

Score amended to:
Pirate worthy, but DO NOT BUY!

@coded_artist @ChristiJunior Wait, this is from Team Ladybug of all things! Their games are okay, but I never expected this. Truly, the east is owari da.

@xoma @ChristiJunior I'm at the final(?) boss now, and I now suspect that it's a rogue agent within the company that added those bits.
Subversion is definitely in there, but it may not be terminal yet.

My reason to think this?
Final(?) boss is Moses, throwing Hebrew alphabet letters at you.
I'm not joking.

Ok, he's not the literal Moses, he's an evil scientist, but he was a con man pretending to be a holy man named... Baal.
Not so subtle.

And when exposed to demon virus, he turns into Moses, LMAO!

@DrRyanSkelton @coded_artist >Morlock is referred to using they/them pronouns.

Ooof!

@DrRyanSkelton @ChristiJunior Didn't know about that group, a good find.

@coded_artist @DrRyanSkelton Interesting resource, but categorizing something like Metal Slug as Woke/a DIE product simply because of female playable characters is a bridge too far for me - it would be one thing to depict women storming the beaches of Normandy, but the more light on realism a setting is, the more accepting I am of powerful female fighters being depicted.

It is literally impossible to do what they do and not be cringe on some level. I treat it as an informative resource and just make my own decisions. DEID is much more directly "enemy media spotted" which is more useful.

That groups Gunvolt 3 review is hilarious butthurt. You can always argue, it is an open forum, but I'm not wasting too much time arguing with nerds

@DrRyanSkelton @coded_artist I guess it's preferable to something like Sweet Baby Inc detected, which doesn't even put Kingdom Come 2 on the Blacklist because centrist Grifters defended Warhorse's betrayal and the subversive content.

@ChristiJunior @coded_artist When someone is so autistic you can at least be sure they will never overlook anything. That autism comes with tradeoffs as all things do.

@ChristiJunior @coded_artist @DrRyanSkelton Sometimes I wonder if the younger generation who grew up amidst troonslop and have learned to distrust it aren't able to comprehend how older games having a hot girl killing aliens is a world apart from modern mary sue female characters.

@xoma @ChristiJunior @coded_artist @DrRyanSkelton I grew up on these...

@ChristiJunior @coded_artist @DrRyanSkelton >Max Payne 3 - contains no woke content
That suffocated cover shooter made me audibly groan during a time I let myself just glaze through Red Dead Redemption and Spec Ops The Line. Remember taking pause at the 'hecking white tourist' monologue to justify being mugged specifically.

I was even willing to let the autists off the hook with Metal Slug having 'wanton killing of German looking soldiers' since not everyone can tell finding new ways to blast through them is a form of love.
But yes, at 1600+ titles and multiple people collaborating nuance goes to the dogs.
