I don't like that we've all allowed "Woke" to become a bad thing. I want "woke" media. I want diversity of talent and experiences. I want awareness of social issues.

MODERATORS
People call me a conspiracy theorist but the message that is woke has been purposely molded into something for conservatives to hate.
Nothing threatens a “democratic” capitalist state more than social awareness, not even facism.
Red pill fuckbois got mad that progressives took the concept of “waking up“ away from them
My man Geralt looked like he was in dire need of a nap during the entire run of Witcher 3. Let him rest, people.
No rest for the wicked, and witchers be real wicked.

You've paid attention to them at some point?
To be fair, this post is the first I’ve heard of people upset about it
The thing about them is that they are loud, directed, and often affect the first impression a game gets. If this wasn't with The Witcher fame, the effect would be more notable, and oftentimes they don't admit why they really have a problem with the game directly.
and oftentimes they don't admit why they really have a problem with the game directly
I think in many cases they aren’t even admitting it to themselves. Self-delusion is kind of a recurring theme with them.
