When did video games become so "woke"?

Pointless to talk about GTAVI. It might sell less from this but there are still millions of retards who will buy it blindly even if it's an unplayable Cyberpunk disaster with politics shoved in your face.

No matter how woke games may get, there will always people in denial about it. They are like frogs in boiling water. Its been a thing I'd say at least part way into the 7th gen.

When Blackrock, the investment firm based out of New York and worth 10 trillion dollars, started a trust fund for anyone who shoved diversity down people's throats in media. Now it's just monkey see monkey do.

I imagine they are gonna push the classic attempt "it was always woke".

It's literally the wall street journal saying they donated nearly one billion dollars what in the FUCK are you talking about

It was though

He didn't mention "the Jews" you stupid fuck.

Classic.

DA JOOOOOOS

This is the world now, you were just born in the wrong decade

trump won

Authorities literally get shit on in every single GTA kek

They're under investigation by 19 attorney generals as we speak user

So, it was always woke. So, why does it need a female protagonist now? I imagine "it was (edited:not enough) woke", right?

Because we've had nothing but ugly males, we need a qt female
Nothing burger, the real story is trump under several investigations as we speak and likely seeing jail time

It was a white liberal transgressive fantasy, not woke.

Authority bootlicking is literally the base of leftism though

Haven't people always been speculating/wondering when there would be one?

authorities getting shit on... a truly classic woke moment

Much like how Republicans were so pro police, until the FBI found out their boy committed crimes now they're crying on social media (literally in tears like crowders manchild ass) screaming to defund the FBI lmao

There is no approval process for the President declassifying documents by legal definition. The documents are declassified or classified simply based on Trumps word since he was the former president.

Also don't distract from the reality. I'm curious about this newer impact fund, it's also for diversity and inclusion in the media. There's a reason why this doesn't feel like an organic social movement.

good thing the espionage doesn't care about that

>b-b-but minecraft
See pic-related, Notch was not right wing when he made Minecraft. He only became right wing after he literally quit game development
>b-b-but kingdom come
Nope. Lead designer admitted liberals and leftists made it
gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-04-19-vavra-there-is-no-propaganda-in-kingdom-come-deliverance
>b-but corporations
Right wingers will complain about "corporations" and then conveniently ignore all the indie devs who are leftist or donated to leftist causes. Right wingers don't care about corporations. They are faux-populists.
>b-b-but Japanese games/Nintendo
Retarded argument because Japanese politics are not the same as Western politics. People who claim that all Japanese games are right wing will conveniently ignore the fact that most Japanese games have one of the following:
>Pro-LGBT representation
>A pro-environmentalism message at the cost of capitalism
>Characters that are more ambiguous in terms of masculinity/femininity
>A strong female character (in many cases, stronger than males)
>An anti-racism/anti-discrimination message
>An anti-religion message
>A straight up anti-capitalist message

Some examples include
>Final Fantasy (in general) but particularly VII, Tactics, and X
>The Tales series in general, but particularly Symphonia, Rebirth, Phantasia
>SMT
>The Fate series, in general
>Touhou, in general
>Bayonetta
>Metroid
>Zelda, since many games feature Zelda in a combat role
>Catherine, particularly Full Body with the inclusion of Rin
>Monster Girl Quest (bonus because it's a Any Forums darling)
>Valkyria Chronicles
>MGS3, especially with the Boss and Sigint
>Grandia II
>Nintendo of Japan supporting gay marriage
>the overwhelming majority of fighting games
>and many more
Right wingers will disingenuously claim it's okay for Japanese games to have strong females or gay characters, because "they're not being political" but then suddenly flip flop and claim that all Japanese games are right wing when confronted.

This is literally and unironically the Jewish Internet Defence Force trying to shut down the thread because Blackrock was mentioned. Bad news for you, I'm not an anti semite, I'm a self hating Jew.

False. Bootlicking is the foundation of leftism though cuckservatives do it too. In fact, the government and police are reason why the common leftist exists. They need to be protected lest nature takes its course.
