They tried so hard to force a ship in the English version of Path of Radiance. Maybe they thought Ike would be perceived as gay if they didn't try making IkexElincia a thing. Didn't work considering how popular the Tellius games are with fujos.
I'm a little late, but what gets me about this is how surprised people are acting, as if this was some kind of unprecedented thing.
Don't forget their "safe edgy" twitter account, which is peak corporate insecurity.

This all goes much further and deeper than you think. People are noticing now that their noses are being rubbed into it with their entertainment, but progressives have been subverting and ruining everything they can touch for a century now. They simply have much more influence than they used to, and no longer feel to the need to keep their lunacy under wraps.
Mirror's Edge is one of the first games where the devs came out and outright stated they made the female protagonist more ugly on purpose to protest "unrealistic" beauty standards.
I think going to bat for Third Birthday is doing a disservice to anti-censorship. It is a shitty game and an even shittier sequel.
This is where I get off the train. If woke wasn't really a thing, then I find it dumb to retroactively declare it woke. eg. Left 4 Dead, Metroid, or Tomb Raider aren't "woke" and I don't buy the conspiracy theory that they were playing some kind of long game.
Correct.
It's one thing to say "the gameplay is shit and the story makes no sense, 3/10" and saying "5/10 game, but Aya is too sexy and crys during the plot. 3/10"
Call it what you want, it's all Marxist propaganda.
It depends. For example, I can say that the depiction of Aya and how Maeda talks are heavily disconnected from how the characters behaved in the previous games. I certainly do not remember anything like a "refreshing vulnerability" line regarding the first two.
To be fair, Bioware games were trailblazers on the PC and woke stuff nonsense, so it kinda applies IMO. Even then they weren't as bad as things are now (compare Dragon Age 1-3 to Veilguard).
British and California accents are overused. Give me New York, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Minnesota accents. Give me more Italian, Spanish, German, Bavarian, French, Polish, Russian, Swedish, etc. accents. Literally anything but British or Californian.
I can agree that people should have thought harder about the causes and consequences of mass immigration instead of so often blowing them off with stereotypes of ranting racists like in KOTOR here or in South Park like you're referencing. At the same time, I can understand writing stuff like that back then without any ulterior motive because there are people who fit that stereotype in real life, I've interacted with them before, where they're too dumb to articulate anything insightful about the immigration problem and can only blindly scream about how much they hate spics and niggers.
Was that the case with the original, or only once the sequel came out that Anita Sarkeesian was involved with?
