Not sure how particulary I think about it.

I kinda agree though because, honestly, I genuinely like prodding at RL-issues in my video games, but if the best the writers can do is some MCU-level shit that I would expect in Forspoken or Fortnite, then I really wish they’d not. It just feels like making fun of transgender people with how terrible the scene’s dialogue is (there’s a video in the article).

Plus, as the update says, they couldn’t even be arsed to search through the previous games for whether this was already talked about.

Sigh.

Still, the game is far better than I expected it to be, so this isn’t just a rant, but I wish the dialogue in particular had decent writing behind it, it breaks immersion near-constantly even if the general scene and story were done well.

Skibidi toilet is also a term a lot of people use. It’s also stupid and has no meaningful definition in discussion.

If you want to use the term “woke”, and believe its presence in media is an issue, please define it first.

It’s a term lot of kids use and it’s a real IP now whether you like it or not. The author did not use it unironially, it’s very clearly ironic. I would also remind you that you are doing what those “anti-woke” people do, making a firm assumption over a term/word without looking at the material/substance.
