As soon as someone calls something “woke”, I know immediately to ignore whatever they’re saying, they’re almost surely incapable of proper critical thinking. If they could form an actual critical opinion they’d be talking about that instead of using a generic political term that equates to “anything I don’t like or understand”.
I think most people lack that level of self awareness.
I think if the most interesting thing about the game is how woke it is, thats a really bad sign.
Consider Cyberpunk 2077 as an example, there was a hot minute where people were getting their transphobic panties in a bunch over the hermaphroditic ingame advertisements, but There was so much MORE to talk about in cyberpunk 2077 that it wasn’t the only discussion about the game (even before it launched).
If I see someone crying “woke bs” without backing anything up I’m going to automatically assume that person is a bigoted moron.
If I see someone downvoting thoughtful comments I’m going to automatically assume that person is a closed minded moron.
Your position implies that only people you agree with are able to have a civil discussion, and it’s impossible to discuss anything that there is any disagreement on.

Lol.
I’m happy to talk with people about difficult or sensitive subjects, but throwing around downvotes doesn’t encourage good dialog.
Homie, you want to talk to 16 strangers disagreeing with you? O.o
Be glad that most people just vote and don’t comment.
The subject isnt sensitive when some refers to wokeness.
Its the little bitch that cant handle reality that is sensitive imo.
Guarantee your last 2 comments are getting it because yu whined about your vote ratio
Self fulfilling prophecy ya butthurt turd
i want lemmy to be a constructive place where people are not chased away. The habit of the downvote culture here is not helping lemmy grow.
Don’t post stupid shit and you won’t get downvoted, it’s simple
Engagement is engagement, if you don’t like that your opinions aren’t agreed with: tough titties, learn to deal with it or stop posting
Your position implies that only people you agree with are able to have a civil discussion, and it’s impossible to discuss anything that there is any disagreement on.
These attitudes slow the growth of lemmy.
Nope, you can have civil conversation AND downvote someone, I do it all the time
Not with you, though, cuz you get butthurt when the number isn’t positive. That’s a you problem, turn off votes if you can’t handle them
Most of Lemmy is far left and very sensitive. You’d have a better time having a meaningful discussion on /r/Politics than here.

I have not decried a single game as woke.
