"Kingdom Come 2 is not woke, you guys! Please go home! Vavra really needs a second sports car, so please don't cancel your pre orders!"
I fear this will weaken the progress of anti woke movement, because we are already infighting each other over this game. Divide et Impera. And Blackrock's Larry Fink might smile at the current atmosphere on internet.
It hurts to say but a game can be WOKE but GOOD at the same time. Gameplay wise I mean. For example I played Forza Horizon 5 despite having some little pozz in character selection menu, I play for the car racing not the cringe and shit story.
And I don't think it isn't wrong to play games with little pozz if you don't support the devs or get corrupted by it. You can also mod those games to ditch the gay shit.
But it is bad to pretend such games are based when they had to make concessions to satisfy certain targets we don't know for sure.
Unfortuantely many "anti-woke" people showed their true face like WorthtoBuy, Grummz, Daniel Vavra. No wonder Grummz has a thread here on KF because he had signs of a grifter.
I think the problem it comes to "What threshold makes a game based or not?"
I want to hear from
@Activelo @Bilibin @Serbian Peacekeepers what are their threshold of wokism in games?
I consider the signs of wokeness:
- sanitized language, "modern language"
- progressive values insterted into the plot (not old communist type values, leftist neoliberal types like carbon footprint, austerity, critical theory, etc.) (Saints Row, etc.)
- Forced Diversity, forced token characters. (Thats the most common trait in woke media).
- Historical, cultural revisionism (Common in media based on history, cultures).
- Deviation from the norm (pushing gay innuendos, making main character gay, etc)
Forza Horizon 5 has the
- sanitized language trait (character pronouns, the ability to crossdress and other people will address by some they/them pronoun, but are avoidable)
- a bit of cultural revisionism in how they present Mexico (though I didnt play so much the story events, I mostly raced without knowing the story).
These traits are lighter because it is a racing game, the presenters are typical of Mexico demographics, it was approved by Mexican goverment (they assisted at the how it is portrayed the game, though it is not a guarantee it wont be woke) and the story is almost non existent.
Those are low enough to make me want to play the game and doesnt offend me. But I dont consider it a based game. It doesnt go against the grain.
Kingdom Come 2 has the following confirmed:
- Forced Diversity and Historical Revisionism: It is much higher than in Forza Horizon 5 because it inserts a token black character spouting Religion of Peace shitlib propaganda. It feels forced and I heard it is part of the plot.
- Historical Revisionism: Gay relationships are extremely rare in a puritanical society. I heard it can be avoided, but I am unsure if the player will still see the gay innuendos or not which are still unpopular. Also it feels as a departure from the lore of the first game.
KC2 seems more pozzed than Forza Horizon 5 ironically. And we don't even know what else could be in this game. A lot of discussion on this forum is mostly us researching into this game because Daniel Vavra seems to be a hypocrite. I am doubtful the pozz is genuine. I know there could be genuine devs wanting to insert homosexuality in a game, but unfortuantely everything has been messed up by ESG requirement, making everything a shitlib propaganda. And such homosexuality could be less questioned if it was marketed towards LGBT audience, not the general masses.
I also consider Embracer Group a vile corporation. There is an obscure youtuber that is a huge Saints Row fan, and he researched what happened to Saints Row remake.
I dont trust them to let Vavra free to do anything else. Almost all Embracer Group games are pozzed.
I might do an summary of the series when I feel like it, I am tired and will be busy in near future.
My advice to you is to NOT PREORDER IT, to NOT BUY IT ON RELEASE DAY, and wait for kiwifarms to research the game.
Dont trust blindly popular reviews, some are bought, others will blindly defend the dev because they are friends or love the first game.
It is hard to not be biased in these situations.
If you buy on first day, you might become responsible for funding an hypocrite developer and giving him a signal to continue lying and shoving woke bullshit.
