Guaranteed the word “woke” will be thrown around left and right

    I’ve seen more posts complaining about complainers, than I’ve seen complainers.

      I haven’t seen a single complaint about Ciri being the protagonist of the next witcher game andI believe it’s because she isn’t a “let’s put a woman here for the quotas” type of character.

          Is it here, or on the internet as a whole? I have already seen a TON of vitriol in the trailer’s comments on YouTube. They’re loudly skreeeing woke, and DEI, and even the less insane ones are “so disappointed in CDPR.”

          EDIT - I spoke too soon, they’re even here in this very post.

            so disappointed in CDPR

            Did they play the third game? Do they remember how important Ciri was, how special her powers?

            I’m wagering most of them haven’t.

      Really? Can you share them? I saw the post on lemmy complaining about wanting male/female options, but there’s also this article with gems such as below.

      Even in the comments of that article though, is “DEI detected = Purchase rejected”.

      So the comments are out there, probably on reddit too, but they are there.
