    I’m sure the very diverse group of people that made the game are completely fine if your bigoted ass stays far the hell away.

    Now it makes perfect sense why my very bi friend loves this game so much and why he tried so hard (and kinda failed) to get me to play it with him (I’m just not good at shooters).

    Yeah, there are flags and stuff but where the fuck is there gay sex in Warframe? It has been some time since I played it the last time, but I’m sure I would have remembered that.

      as usual these people never fail to make things sound way more amazing than the boring reality

      i’m pretty sure “fully automated luxury gay space communism” was coined by the right wing in an attempt to disparage progressives

      There is only implied gay sex if you date a 1999 Hex member who is the same sex as your Drifter. Then every time you walk past them in the mall backroom base of operations, you’ll get tons of colorful comments about going to pound town later. It’s kind of amazing.

        I’m not sure Warframe has any limits but I’m surprised they added romance options.

          Well, mass effect had one so, I guess DE just went why the fuck not ? I still need to do the hex syndicate to seduce Eleanor because I love Nyx but I have the other ones to do before.

      HMU if you want a guide. I’m happy to help a new player through. Woke, not woke, whatever it is, it’s a damn nice game and community. Am more than happy to introduce it to people

    … There is no sex in Warframe. The fuck is this dude talking about?

    There are a few suggestive themes, and a number of the Warframes certainly are nice to look at, but outright sex?

    Unless…

    I mean, Albrecht and What’s-His-Name are a couple, and Albrecht gave a short, intimate touch on the cheek in one cutscene. Does that count as gay sex?

    And yet the help desk peons gave me a “strike” because I named a Kitgun “This Kills Fascists” and a zaw named Kill All Fascists.

    Now I just name things after historical anti-fascist heroes. Luigi is up next!

      I’d have renamed it ‘This plays folk music’ in reference to the instrument that read/reads ‘this kills fascists’.

        In fact I tried to name it “This Machine Kills Fascists” but that’s too long. “Woody’s Guitar” is on the list though.

        Also support peon’s just change the name to something like “pistol0023” or some similar internal db reference. I have to PAY to rename it to something I like.

    Might be easier to list games that aren’t “woke”. And how did they manage to forget about Ticker?

    How do I add games to that list? I want to add every multiplayer game that I play online as “Super Woke” in bold red letters.

    I once had an idiot rant at me that a movie character was woke because she was named America.

    They don’t know anymore what woke even means. There is a good chance that gay sex isn’t categorised as woke.

      Woke is just the new ‘satanic’. The bigots of the day don’t care what it means, it sounds distasteful to the people who’d listen to them so they apply it to whatever they’re opposed to.

      The meaning of “woke” changed… Like… 4 times, and very rapidly too. Now it’s just thrown at literally anything. Anything at all.

      You make a very good point, “woke” has become a blanket term meaning “whatever offends our sensibilities the most this week.”

      Probably, they found some mention of a non-cis relationship and decided to blow that up to saying there’s porn in the game because that’s what this modern brand of bigotry does. Along with trying to legislatively ban porn, which they’ve previously defined as anything non-cis.

      I’m pretty sure a recent patch adds a new syndicate that basically functions as a romance/dating simulator.

      I don’t think it gets explicit, but maybe?

        If you mean explicit as in a sex scene? No.

        If you mean explicit as in if it’s implied. Oh yeah, 100%. Drifter is, canonically, not a virgin now. It can get as gay as you want it to.
