KF Guide to Woke Games

Lord have mercy.

I wish the trad cons would get over games bad and support some nerds to reclaim cozy games, or at least make them bearable again. I’m not even saying it needs to be con politics, just be NORMAL.

I’m sick of rainbow commie communes full of beasts that’d make Lovecraft shudder.
Yo Qwen 3 Coder. Generate me a c# script on how to do "insert cozy game feature." Yo Qwen Image. Generate me a sprite sheet of a classic 90s style farmer. yo ACE generate me a bopping tune that sounds very chipper or melancholy. Repeat each step until you've got a functional game with enough characters, features and music to be good. You're welcome.
 
I love how the dudes look like this:

But the women look like this:

You can just tell the artist is some fat fucking fujo lmao
jesus fucking christ, none of these characters are remotely appealing. Not even if you try to put on a bara lens for the males. The women also look like men somehow. The only remotely acceptable designs are the kpop boy band member and the "passing" white man dressed as a woman, and they're still awful.
The comments make me lose faith in cozy game enjoyers but I know I shouldn't be shocked, with the huge amount of "queer" cozy gamers and tumblrinas that infest the ranks.
 
like Claire, the trans identified man who's a bartender
My only issue is the flag in the car.(And Nexus banning mods that remove it)

Claire isn't Mary-Sue, and if you follow his quest line to either of the conclusions you'll see how massively bitter and angry he can be. It isn't presented as admirable.
It also helps that they're a racer, bartender and mechanic first, not a trans token. It also shows how radically different the world is, to have a transwoman, someone with extreme body modifications by today's standards, be one of the least modified in the setting.

As an aside Android is now autocorrecting transwoman to trans woman. One an identity, and the other a propaganda term that forces the laughable assumption they're just a type of woman.

Exactly. Claire is one of the painfully few examples of what I would consider "good" representation. The trans flag is fucking cringe, but everything else I enjoy because Claire is fleshed out and feels believable. Not a Mary-Sue, not a token, just another way to be modified in a future full of cyberpsychos who have done worse crimes for less. The biggest point against Claire I have, aside from the flag on the awful, ugly vehicle, is that the model is just a regular chick. Of course, you could argue that CDPR are deep in the sauce and sucking off their Blackrock overlords and that's the reason it's not some Brianna Wu looking freakazoid who looks visibly trans, or that such a deliberate design choice would have evoked the same response to Claire that I know I had towards Fingers the first time I met him (and that was before knowing the full details of Fingers' story).

He is broad shouldered by female standards, but that's not a trans tell what with the hypermasculine female designs in many Western studios. Good point about Fingers, the other gender-non-conforming character in the game, he's utterly repulsive and so maybe that stupid flag was put in to stop game "journalists" trying to sink the game.

I always enjoy punching him in the face, then executing him once I got the info out of him. Since he no longer has best Sandy exclusivity, I've got no reason to place nice with his creepy ass.

I love reading reddit discussions about Fingers and his "queer coding", and whether or not it was allowed by leftie reddit standards to punch him because he's CLEARLY a gay man!111
Like no, bro, he's not "queer coded", that's a made up thing that some lunatics insist is a thing like how Scar is allegedly queer coded? And Ursula? No, nigger. Scar isn't gay, he's just a lion voiced by Jeremy Irons. If you think he's gay based on nothing, or if its Jeremy Irons' voice that makes you think he's gay, you have a problem. Ursula is clearly inspired by a drag queen, sure, but she's still not queer coded.

Fingers is a degenerate. Not queer coded. You're meant to find him repulsive because he's everything wrong with Night City distilled into a single person. He's not the WORST person in all of NC, but he's not above dealing with scavs, he sells second-hand implants KNOWING they're malfunctioning and he absolutely uses and abuses the "poor sex workers UwU" who depend on him as a ripperdoc. He's no Wakoko, who knowingly and openly encourages the Tyger Claws, a band of misfit rapists. He's not a member of Maelstrom, who deliberately forces implants on people in the hopes of creating cyberpsychos.
He's just a leech and a gross person.

I don't think I've ever NOT punched him for being a gross faggot of a person, even before when he had Sandevistan exclusivity. Sucks they removed the mk4 with 2.0.

I don't understand one thing. Those are supposed to be the bad guys. Why would 'media literacy' people want characters meant to be evil for the sake of it as their little hecking gay icons?

I don't get it either. It's really fucking stupid but I've seen a lot of weird claims about a handful of Disney villains CLEARLY being hecking gay icons. Scar, Ursula, Jafar and even the clearly heterosexual Frollo from Hunchback are the villains I remember off the top of my head that are queer coded.
It's so funny to me when an allegedly gay character is reduced to either "I'm a good guy and I'm super gay!" like Tracer in Overwatch or "I'm an evil villain and I'm super gay!". There's no well-thought out characters who just happen to be gay.
 
Okay in fairness, Scar is very sassy. I don't think he's actually gay or was meant to be "gay coded" but he's not that much of a stretch.

It's very simple, Aladdin and Lion King are films oriented towards boys and portray traditional masculinity as positive (those were still the good days). Therefore they have the villains be the opposite of traditional masculine, ie, act like bitches.

However, acting like bitches in a common faggot trait, so faggots claim those villains are faggot icons, despite no one in the writing room even entertaining that notion.

Fingers is a degenerate. Not queer coded.

Degenerate? Queer coded? Same difference.

Honestly, I think it's quite telling that back then, queer = villainous. You got someone who flouts the laws of nature one way, doubtless there are a multitude of other things wrong with that someone too. Like being an outright villain.

You'd be surprised at how often you can actually judge a book by its cover, as the external ugliness often gives a hint for the rot occurring within.

In the original pen-and-paper Cyberpunk 2020, medical tech is advanced enough to allow for sex changes to include genetic resequencing, actually changing biological sex. It also was that way in William Gibson’s writing, so it’s actually quite anti-woke.

In cyberpunk fiction, nobody has to be forced to pretend a linebacker in a skirt is a real woman.

Makes sense to me, doesn't make sense to trannies because they NEED to be visibly trans. It's not about being a woman, it's about being better than a woman etc.
It's another thing I genuinely do not understand in media in general. You want to be disabled in D&D and have a normal ass wheelchair? Why not just cure your handicap with magic or a potion.

On the topic of woke games, and on the topic of disability or being visibly trans, there's a game I remember from a couple of years ago called Spiritfarer.
You play as some black girl with a big hat and you help spirits in the afterlife resolve their problems, coming to terms with trauma and moving on.
Well, that's all well and good but one of the characters, depicted as an owl in the afterlife, had a disability that slowly decreased his mobility and he eventually ended up in a wheelchair. His trauma and his story is full of bitterness and hatred towards his wheelchair, and his owl form in the afterlife gave him what he desired the most: the freedom to move around.

This didn't sit very well with one twitter user, who is also a wheelchair user. She was upset that a character was depicted as hating his disability and hating his chair, because to her her chair is not a negative, yada yada.
The game devs eventually published an apology and vowed to do better. They went ahead and changed the story of the character completely, despite the fact that the story was based on a real human's experience with his disability and his chair.
It's a minor shitstorm and controversy that has stuck with me for years now. Imagine that, a single person disagrees with how another disabled person views their disability. They cried ableism. One person. Not an army of troons threatening violence upon women for not letting them be perverts in the women's restroom.

If it hadn't been for this minor controversy, I don't think I would have heard of the game. If it hadn't been for the devs bending the knee, I might have bought the game.
As it stands, Spiritfarer is a medium to heavy when it comes to woke points because of the controversy. I could largely ignore the nigger you play as because the art isn't bad. A bit furbait'y but otherwise harmless and cozy.
sorry if I've brought up this game before ITT. I'm still so utterly shocked that a dev team would bend the knee over a tweet that has since been deleted and nearly scrubbed from the internet.

Interesting. That seems to be a fairly obscure controversy too.
That's probably one of the grimmest examples in recent memory and I can only partially put my finger on why.
Still, it essentially undermines the entire game. The fact that a character can have their entire story changed without missing a beat kind of cheapens everything.
 
More content has been added to Warframe. There’s canonically another nonbinary character(Temple), and you can have gay and poly relationships in the game now. Albrecht and Lloyd are dating. However these features are fairly buried in the game and take a few hours of playtime to actually access.
Also:
• ⁠Banshee/Octavia (Pride glyph)
• ⁠Volt/Rhino (Pride glyph)
• ⁠Gara/Unum (Gara fragments)

Equinox is female with a masculine form.

The owl form is a cool way of doing that in-world and dealing with disability in the story. I'd be fine with a disabled character in a fantasy setting using a flying carpet or golem legs to carry them around or something.
