@Dialoguealways @jessiegender Because gameplay vs aesthetic and tonal elements are different aspects of the game. It's pretty simple.

People keep dunking on "The Gamers™" which is just a nebulous collection of people they don't like. I call these sanctimonious idiots who all act alike Players™

@PlayerTakes @jessiegender The battlefield v argument was specifically because people were getting mad that in the same game where you can jump from a plane into another plane while 360 no scoping someone, they suddenly saw a blue-haired disabled woman and thought that the realism was destroyed.
English
“Starfleet was never a box checking exercise.”
Tell that to Gene Roddenberry who went out of his way to make sure a Black woman, a Japanese-American man, a Russian, a disabled man and former enemies like the Klingons were on his bridges.

@jessiegender No it was never woke. It was first and foremost Starfleet was a meritocracy. It was never a box checking exercise. Cisco, for example, not even written for a black actor. They just picked the best actor that auditioned. Hence it was actually good.
English
@Dialoguealways @jessiegender Fans: "So the us eating the words by showing real women in WWII why did you instead of doing that replace a Norwegian special forces unit with a mother and daughter to tell a fake story not the story of any actual women?"
English
@Dialoguealways @jessiegender Also seriously you're going to strawman the Battlefield V argument which went like this.
Fans: Yeh the one armed cockney killing nazis on the front line with a cricket bat is a bit unrealistic.
DICE Dev: Fuck you bigots women fought in WWII we'll make you eat those words.

@Dialoguealways @jessiegender Easy, hollow progressive posturing.
English
@PlayerTakes @jessiegender But again, you are not going to be able to provide a definition of woke that is not either inconsistent or nonsensical.
You're making my argument for me.
English
@Dialoguealways @jessiegender EA,
DICE,
Multiple film execs,
Concord devs.
A number of games journalists and publications over the years.
English
In order for me to even accept your argument, you're going to have to provide something better and more objective than "this one company said this one thing about it's IP," while ignoring the fact that there is an outcry of people that are directly making the argument that IP is bad because minority is in it. (Like the Battlefield 5 argument you highlighted.

@esjesjesj If it were truly fascism, you wouldn't be able to so loudly criticise it.
Or wouldn't dare to considering how cowardly your side generally is.
English
Everything Chuck Norris made was dog shit and he loudly supported a fascist so this makes sense
Chris Martz@ChrisMartzWX
Just going to leave this here.
English
@Dialoguealways @jessiegender So you're arguing it's no pervasive enough to count?
Despite it being done in relation to fairly big films an IP, by people connected to large studios?
Woke is dishonest lol. It presents hollow characters as great and dares you to criticise them lest you be accuse of bigotry.
English
@PlayerTakes @jessiegender Anecdotes are not reality,
Yes, you can find certain instances of people saying the arguments that you are making.
But to pretend like there is an entire market of people that point to something and their only argument is "minority bad," is simply dishonest.
English
@ShansRedShoes Can we do the same for you and your fellow activists?
Oh wait, we don't even need to just wait for people to find how many of your lot have pre-existing convictions for sex crimes lol
English
@Dialoguealways @jessiegender The Battlefield V devs said ignorant bigots who didn't realise women's role in WWII would be ashamed when their game showed the stories of real woman......... it then didn't and actually replaced a Norwegian commando unit with a mother an daughter instead.
English
@Dialoguealways @jessiegender But I've given 2 examples already so how about the Ghostbusters 2016 film where it framed all people critical of it as just woman hating when the trailer was unfunny (I say this as some-one who laughs at most humour even far jokes) and people were attacked for milquetoast takes
English
@Dialoguealways @jessiegender yes it does.
E.A. famously won worst company in America for a 2nd year running and tried to blame bigots hating on their support of LGBTQ people for them winning.
The recent Charles Angels reboot blamed Incel woman hating bigots for it failing at the cinema
English
@PlayerTakes @jessiegender No it doesn't, there is a difference between arguing that something just isn't good based on story, actor choice, or anything else and just discounting an entire media because a character is played by someone of a different race, creed, or gender.

I don't understand.
Why are you mad at Drinker for pointing out the live action One Piece series had this scene?
Instead of being mad at the showrunners for having the scene?
Or is it that you're mad because heterosexual people find a woman attractive?
Duhlorean@Duhlorean98
If this thumbnail doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about this vile creature that calls himself a “critic”, I don’t know what will.
English
@jessiegender So because the scanners in Star Trek were just modified pepper pots we shouldn't strive to have such technology and should push hospitals to just wave modified pepper pots that don't actually work over people?
You get show in universe vs creation of it are different right?
English
Conservatives claim Star Trek is a meritocracy because they want America to be one. But Star Trek’s diversity isn’t the result of “pure merit” but writers fighting the inequities of our present by imagining a future that corrects them by casting marginalized ppl. (1/2)
English
@Heccles94 You're a lefty American (or more likely some-one from another country larping at this point) shut your burger hole.
English
@cessonmute Oh and said 'Ick' is enough to have you then marked as a threat which means they or more likely a guy they speak to is ok to target you or just outright attack you.
English
@cessonmute OK here's why for the people who apparently only have enough mental capacity to be online webmodels catering to desparate idiots:
Some-one is verbalising no that something about you is off putting but won't say which. Is it that thing you're self conscious about? They won't say
English
men are having a “mental health crisis” because women call them weird... meanwhile, women have to survive r@pe, assault, and harassment on a daily basis. but sure, let's talk about how damaging the ‘ick’ is
Zoya🕊️@Zoya_ki_batein
And this gender says “Women are too emotional” 😭😭
English
Player™ it's called pattern recognition at this point because so much shit is giving people the strong girl boss protagonist who never actually develops as a person often accompanied by an inept male sidekick of some kind.
kαυα@kaarxx_
@b0ysbrokenheart @ziiwizz @midnighttmasss the problem is that a lot of gamers™—culture warriors—treat women leads like some kind of threat it doesn’t matter how well-written the character is, how much depth or personality she has; you’ll still see people saying they can’t connect with her just because she’s a woman +
