Warrior women are woke how often do I need to tell you this, especially when they are aiming for 50/50 sex quotas on the battlefield.
If they're shoehorning women into places where, realistically, they absolutely weren't present, and are clearly being included in for idpol reasons (hi, Battlefield.), then sure. Otherwise, that's just silly. How can the mere inclusion of a
female who participates in combat qualify as "woke" pandering, when it's those precise people who have giant screeching tantrums about
evil, evil fanservice in "based" eastern titles?
Back whenever Stellar Blade was the big hot-button culture war topic of the day, it was "woke" to act like it was the second coming of Mein Kampf. Games journos and twitter freaks were sneering that the main character was designed by "incels who have never seen a woman", loudly decrying that anyone who dared to think it looked good were "gooner porn addicts". But Stellar Blade stars a
woman as the ultimate badass player character, rather than a dude. So is it
woke?
What about Metroid? Remember a while back when the freaks started insisting that Samus was canonically a tranny, and always had been? The "woke" stance was that these games had actually
never starred a woman as the galaxy's most invincible action hero, and that "she" was really a man the entire time, and anyone who didn't subscribe to that retarded headcanon were Nazis. So were we all misled? Would the true "antiwoke" stance be that
of course Samus is a man, because a woman couldn't possibly participate in combat?
What about the countless JRPGs with female party members? Or Tomb Raider, which was so "objectifying" that they're
still butchering it on the altar of diversity and inclusion to this day, all these years later, as reparations for the original sin of Lara Croft's polygonal tits? Or characters like Naoto from Persona 4, whose mere
existence as a competent female has the twitter freaks demanding she be made a pooner in the inevitable modern-audience-compliant remake?
If the warrior woman isn't a "strong female character" "girlboss" (optionally with that generic undercut hairstyle), who is portrayed as infinitely more competent and righteous than the men, I don't think that qualifies as being some piece of performative idpol grandstanding.
