Except it wasn't.
There were all kinds of attempts to propagandize back then and none of it was subtle. Just look at the environmental movement. From Captain Planet and Earth Warp all the way to Inconvenient Truth, that stuff was always cringe, and people mocked it and turned away from it.
And that's why everyone is convinced that climate change will kill us all, everybody is programmed to recycle even when most of the time it's useless and every marketing firm talks about how "green" something is. Captain Planet was not the only thing pushing this stuff, it was just one of the more blatant ones. That you honestly think that all of your way of thinking from your formative years that doesn't correlate to reality wasn't the courtesy of propaganda tells me volumes. Of course it was propaganda, it was just very well made propaganda that was actually enjoyable and it also had an optimistic slant which made it go in a lot better (the ol honey vs vinegar thing).
Another example, I love Gargoyles. Yet that story sowed a lot of seeds of empowered minority women, guns bad, race mixing and savages are the most noble. Yet it didn't go all in on it. Elisa was very capable in "cop situations" (which is a rarity already) yet the moment shit got weird, she definitely appreciated the help of the gargoyles, when Broadway shot her, there was a strong anti gun message but it wasn't "ban all guns" it was "they are tools to hurt and kill, they are not toys", there's a lot of race mixed couples in the series like Elisa's parents being a latin and a black african, and then the noble savage thing represented by the gargoyles themselves and whenever they interacted with some far off culture during the travels episode, but again, without going overboard as treating them as saints.
But all of that set the seeds to what would come first. You cannot sell that women are equal to men without selling for a while that "women can be just like men if they work hard enough". You can't go all in on ban guns without planting the seeds of "they are dangerous and only there to kill", you can't go full "kill whitey" till you go through "look it how ethnic charming and diverse they all are, sure are better than your current social circle!".
Just remember, what was your ideology and your thoughts when you were in the 14-18 age bracket? Because I was pro woman that was against any sort of gun ownership, pro abortion, though black people were cool, I was very afraid of the real dangers of GLOBAL WARMING and thought whitey had a lot to say about colonialism. Correlates to a lot of the stuff that Gargoyles was setting seeds for, wasn't it? Then, when I started "noticing" and dissonance hit, it's when I started shaking it off.
For fucks sake, you are in the farms, nobody ends in the farms without some sort of dissonance unless they were og fans of lolcows.
ALL Media is Propaganda, keep that fresh in your heads Gentlemen. The good old propaganda you loved is systematically being co-opted, corrupted, and turned against you into bad propaganda. It took me years to realize that there is nothing inherently wrong with propaganda, so long as it isn't cancerous and against your people...
Sadly, most of the propaganda we are subjected to in western society was based on destroying our self preservation instincts. So even if on the surface it didn't seem that bad, it's definitely coming to roost. A society based on "lets be friends" "sharing is caring" and "everyone can do it if they try hard enough" is absolutely fucked the moment external elements outside of the bubble come in and I'd say those are some of the messages that we consider to be the most welcome and wholesome. And those are great when everyone is on the same page, but with migrant hordes all over it just means "you didn't try hard enough to understand Hamed", "you have to share your toys, I don't care if they have already broken all your other ones" and "that Jamal can't read and write for shit is because he NEEDS DEM PROGRAMZ not because he is a retarded thug with 0 worth".
But yes, I'm starting to see the value of the old WW propaganda to try and force national cohesion, though that one was also subtle as a brick.
Kys, Faggot. Crying over a game that gives you a choice to kill dykes faggots and trannies. Give me the genocide simulator all day long.
If postal 5 allowed you to go to a pride parade and murder everyone, would it be woke because it has faggots in it? No. Focus on the fags all you want, homo, i'll laugh while killing faggots in BG3.
I invite you to write to Larian right now how much you enjoyed faggot killer simulator. I assure you 100% that in their next game you will either not be able to kill any or of you do, you will be marked as having the greatest of sins, the mark of the "hate crime". The game isn't suddenly based because you can kill every character, the creators never intended for you to get a raging erection while going in your homo killing spree.
Basically what was said here
With the above (reason #2) laid out, Baldur's Gate 3 is a great example. As noted, Baldur's Gate 3 portrays "degenerates as normal and acceptable". How is this woke? It is, definitionally, disrupting heteronormativity. In fact BG3 even goes a step beyond inclusion of queer sex: normal heterosexual relationships are abnormal, as in literally rare and unusual. What do you have other than playersexuals and deviants?
"But you don't have to participate and you can kill the gays!" Doesn't matter, the mission was already accomplished, especially for the normies who definitely aren't going to kill all the gays (that'd be bigoted!), they're going to consume the propaganda which will do its job of slightly nudging their understanding of "normal".
It's fine to like BG3, but don't deny its woke infection.
The only reason the game isn't moralizing like mad at you is because they probably didn't consider it could be played that way, specially when the faggots giving them feedback were saying "yeah, let us fuck the bear and tentacle monster!!!".
