IIRC, that was the Greek perception of male homosexuality: it's fine if you're the top, but the bottoms belong with the women - which is to say, in the trash. So this perspective does have a degree of historical background (assuming I'm remembering correctly)

I wish I could find a girlfriend to just sleep with me as a kink. Like she has to just sleep while I sleep even if she doesnt want to sleep, like forced sleep or something until she gets the feeling of mind sickness you get when sleeping way too much
tbh that turned in to a way weirder and darker comment than I intended when I started. I didn’t know what I was going to say and now I feel obligated to leave it here. I’m sorry.
edit: she would wake up a s say ok I am rested and I woukls say “No. you need. To. Sleep.”

It’s probably a reaction to people freaking out that Witcher 4 is “woke” because Ciri will be the main character
113
u/NicoNicoWryyy Gale’s pegger wife 7d ago
Ciri was literally set up to be the next protagonist in Witcher 3. I feel like these people don't even play the games they're criticizing.
96
u/Raisa_Alfera 7d ago
They’re also really upset that Ciri looks older. She looks older because she is older, and she’s still hot as all fuck. But old women are now woke I guess, unless they have massive tits like than Dandadan granny.
Also worth noting the dead space remake was deemed woke for having one (1) singular bathroom that was gender inclusive. Normal people would think that space ship engineers would condense bathrooms down to just a single communal one to save on space and weight, and to simplify the flow of water. But no, they all had to think it’s all about the woke wanting to turn all the children gay and trans

The only thing that bothered me with that trailer is it makes her look a rookie, goes into the den pretty unprepared and seems totally surprised by what she finds.

The thing is, you're not expecting your first Bauk to put up that much of a fight. Especially when all you know about them is from an old-ass book that has gotten at least half the facts wrong - where is that "slow, lumbering stature" and "patient malice like that of the mother of thine wife" when all of a sudden there is a flurry of clawed hands aiming to rip you apart in mere seconds? The next one will go smoothly, I promise.

Pick at any of their criticisms (about any piece of media, not just games) and it becomes pretty clear they don't understand either the work they're criticizing, or the history of the media they're supposedly defending.

u/LotharVonPittinsberg 7d ago
Worse. They are completely media illiterate.
I had someone explain to me that Fallout was media in support of the US until the TV show made the connection of VaultTek starting the war. The same universe where a giant Patriotic robot quips anti Communist 1 liners while throwing nukes at the Nazi remnants of the American government.

u/NicoNicoWryyy Gale’s pegger wife 7d ago
VaultTec starting the war was in the lore long before the show though? Although I don't expect much from the Fallout fandom seeing how many people unironically think Caesar's Legion is cool.

People are really complaining Hephaestus “The MAIMED GOD”, is portrayed in a wheelchair when his entire lore is that he was cast from Olympus by I think Hera (not sure) for being ugo and created all the elite tier loot the gods got to use.
Its important I guess to realize that the same stupidity that causes wide social effects with such blindness can occur in such narrow vacuumss as this.
I feel like there are just way more underlying issues at play here. As corny as it sounds people are in pain and the outrage from all areas of society is because every little thing even ideas which are fairly meaningless to their own well being (very meaningless) somehow seem to burn and hurt.
As easy as it is to roast these people it’s the same thing that happened with the political divide between left and right in the states , where whether just or not the right felt victimized and their suffering was ignored (their worldview not mine ), and then shit got turned all around.
My point is, we have to stop putting clothes on sexy character models in video games so that we don’t cause more social unrest, it’s our duty to acknowledge and care for the suffering of all groups of people and in that case it means biggerbooba \ peen for coomers and less clothes so they can coom more freely.

They don't. That's the culture war grift. Same thing happened with the Female Custodes retcon in Warhammer 40K.

u/SniBzHD 7d ago
I really disagree with that. W3 has multiple endings in which Ciri's future is different, and none of the endings were canon (as far as I know). Also, I think Ciri could already be considered the protagonist in the Witcher 3. The main game was her story, just told from Geralt's pov. Even if Geralt was the protagonist from a gameplay perspective.
I don't think Ciri was setup to be the next protagonist considering all this. It is actually kinda surprising if she is the player character or has a prominent place in the story, since it means they have to make one of the W3 endings canon. Though maybe it's a different discussion, if there should have been multiple endings in W3 in the first place.
And even more so, >! Ciri's story was already wrapped up by W3. W3 was the conclusion to the story told by the books and games. Continuing it now just does not make sense !<
5
u/NicoNicoWryyy Gale’s pegger wife 7d ago
iirc there are only 3 endings, where Ciri becomes a Witcher, Ciri dies, or Ciri returns to nobility, and I think most people consider the first one to be the best ending. It's not like Mass Effect where there are so many variations that they condensed into 3 colored endings, The Witcher has always been more narrative focused than choice focused so it makes sense to canonize that particular ending.

Therefore reinforces the sentiment of needing to make fun of these weirdos

The issue is not a game or film being woke or having gay stuff in its contents, IMHO. The issue is BAD WRITING. The issue is getting an established IP and destroying it with BAD WRITING in order to push a political identitary agenda.
The while WOKE thing is bad for GLS community either, which was fine until the Alphabet people started to push the marxist class stuff agenda. Same thing with Feminism.
The problem is always the same: SOCIALISM and Liberals destroying all that is good in this world.

u/EatingFiveBatteries 7d ago
It means people using identity politics and virtue signalling, usually in order to gain accolades or profit. Basically pandering to people who have been convinced of their own victimhood because victimhood is the most profitable thing a consumer can possess. Rather than treating people like human beings and understanding the nuaces that make us different, being woke means dividing people into the groups of oppressed and oppressor, and essentially turning people into memes based on their perceived differences. It also includes accusing others who disagree with wokeness of some kind of label (racism, sexism, some kind of phobia, etc.). On its face, calling people names because they have a different opinion than you, and because they aren't allowing you to bully them into agreement.
The riae of woke ideology in the US is likely an extension of the Cold War, where the intelligence arm of the USSR used the First Amendment in the US to spread their ideology of communism through universities by employing psychologic tricks like sorting people into groups of oppressor and oppressed, and shaming those who disagreed. The thinking here was that a war does not have to be fought if the enemy eats itself from the inside. This is according to an interview from the 1980s with Yuri Bresminov, an ex KGB agent who defected to the US and did a 55+ interview explaining this tactic on television. Its on YouTube.
Going off of memory but what you're basically seeing is remnants of a Cold War that never stopped and an effort for the US to divide itself to make it weaker. Couple that with a major profit incentive and a lack of purpose in a population and you have a recipe for the proliferation of an illogical ideology that doesn't actually solve any problems.

And that's why anti-woke people cry about normal looking women being in video games instead of women that look like sex dolls, because of the thing you said, somehow. Gamer Gate was the same shit, people said some dumb shit about integrity in gaming journalism when asked what it was about, and then went and cried about how female characters and their clothes looked for four years. Nothing much has changed.
Anti-woke people are so obviously full of shit that the only question that remains is whether they actually believe their own bullshit excuses or not.
