    If the writing sucks, then talk about how the writing sucks. If I see someone crying “woke bs” without backing anything up I’m going to automatically assume that person is a bigoted moron.

      As soon as someone calls something “woke”, I know immediately to ignore whatever they’re saying, they’re almost surely incapable of proper critical thinking. If they could form an actual critical opinion they’d be talking about that instead of using a generic political term that equates to “anything I don’t like or understand”.

      I think most people lack that level of self awareness.

      I think if the most interesting thing about the game is how woke it is, thats a really bad sign.

      Consider Cyberpunk 2077 as an example, there was a hot minute where people were getting their transphobic panties in a bunch over the hermaphroditic ingame advertisements, but There was so much MORE to talk about in cyberpunk 2077 that it wasn’t the only discussion about the game (even before it launched).

      If I see someone crying “woke bs” without backing anything up I’m going to automatically assume that person is a bigoted moron.

      If I see someone downvoting thoughtful comments I’m going to automatically assume that person is a closed minded moron.

          I’m happy to talk with people about difficult or sensitive subjects, but throwing around downvotes doesn’t encourage good dialog.

              i want lemmy to be a constructive place where people are not chased away. The habit of the downvote culture here is not helping lemmy grow.

            Most of Lemmy is far left and very sensitive. You’d have a better time having a meaningful discussion on /r/Politics than here.

            Homie, you want to talk to 16 strangers disagreeing with you? O.o

            Be glad that most people just vote and don’t comment.

            The subject isnt sensitive when some refers to wokeness.

            Its the little bitch that cant handle reality that is sensitive imo.
