These outrage tourists call every “woke” if it fits their narrative.
Zelda: echoes of wisdom features Zelda as a playable character? Woke! Hades 2 having gay gods and Hephaistos being in a wheelchair? Woke! A game having the option to chose your pronouns in the character creator with no change in the actual story/narrative? Believe it or not: woke! /j
Disco Elysium is an actually very political and leftist game, but no one calls it “woke”, because it’s incredibly good and popular (also: these chodes probably wouldn’t even get the game).
Baldur’s Gate 3 has everything they complain about, but it’s not criticized, because it is loved by the community.
I mean, people do call Disco Elysium “woke commie political garbage” because being a fascist in that game is paramount to self harm and they don’t like introspection.
It’s probably the only time they’re right, when they call a game “commie”.
Depends on what you mean by it: while you can indeed “revive communism” in the game, it’s one of several political affiliations. All of which are completely optional and mercilessly mocked for their shortcomings and hypocrisies.
So it’s about as much of a “commie game” as Dragon Age Origins is a “Dwarven Noble game” 🤷
It’s still a phenomenal game and they can’t help but cope.
Yeah, every ideology gets mocked in the game. But I feel like while fascists are shown as pitiful weiners, the commies’ plight is shown like a tragedy. Also, the writers thanked Marx and Engels when accepting an award for the game, so… yeah. 😅

True.
