keenkoon"Woke people are saying non-woke games are woke to boycott non-woke entertainment", wtf?
When someone says “woke” I immediately assume that they have an opinion of the thing in question that they know will be seen as sexist, racist or -phobic in some way that if they said directly would get them called out on.
It’s just another cowards way of saying “I’m not racist but…”
ultrasquidPlatforms should start considering "woke" a slur, cause that's pretty much how it's used.
« Sorry for arriving just now guys, I **** up late. »
MxM111“I fuck up late”?
He’s saying if some is considered a slur, then it will be censored, if it’s censored then you get odd looking and confusing sentences like that
Black AOCThink they call that the “Scunthorpe Dilemma”.
Can something be a slur if no one is offended by it?
deejay4amThus successfully agitating liberals into censoring a word that originally was created by the black community to highlight the calling out of systemic racism and it’s lasting effects on society.
Which means the assholes win.
zeroxxxNot woke does not mean racist.
People who base their identities about calling things woke or not woke are in fact very likely to be racist, or sexist, or homophobic, or transphobic.
100% true nonsense.
Or some people don’t appreciate the bullshit constantly pushed?
Depends on what you consider bullshit. And if you complain about woke you probably have stupid opinions.
True that some ‘woke’ game suck, like that most recent sain’ts row. But that’s because the writing is terrible, not because it includes minorities. Just an example
The bullshit wouldn’t be pushed if marginalized people in our society would be treated the same as everyone else and you know it. Grow up and stop being annoyed with black mermaids ffs
RoundcatLike what? what don't you appreciate? What exactly and specifically about it is bullshit? Are we too afraid to say what we actually hate about the content being presented?
Margot RobbieI think it’s gotten to the point that anyone who actually uses “woke” as an insult just looks completely ridiculous now.

Ten years ago it was called “politics”. Keep your women and non-Anglo Saxon politics out of my war games based on real world conflicts
RomTen years before that it was “political correctness” when gamers weren’t allowed to use the n-word.
I don’t use it because it’s social suicide, but I think either everyone should be allowed to use it or no one should. But that’s like an opinion on USA tipping culture. You can have your opinions, just don’t exercise them unless you’re ready for trouble
norapinkI don't use it because I'm not black so it would be racist for me to... But you do you.
Also I just don't have the desire to use it.
“Political”
White and political.
Male and political.
Straight and political.
Christian and political.
idunnololzI remember when being called woke was a compliment. I miss those days :(
Still is. If someone who doesn’t think anyone else but white, straight people are allowed representation in our diverse world calls you woke as a slur, you wear that as a badge of honor
“Woke” apparently means being aware of systemic societal issues, and wanting to fix them. I’ll gladly wear that “insult”.
Woke means sexist against men, racist against Caucasians and cis-phobic
Narrator: It does not.
chickenThat’s probably a fair assumption at this point, but I wish there was a word for egregiously obnoxious shoehorning of culture war stuff that wouldn’t get immediately diluted into a generic partisan shibboleth. For instance when they were doing the Enhanced Edition of the first games, and using the characters as mouthpieces to break the fourth wall to whine about gamergate, I don’t think you really have to be a bigot to be annoyed by it or want to put a label on that sort of thing.
