Man, I don't typically get involved in topics like this and most certainly don't watch this type of video but good lord:

No matter what someone's stance is, people have to see that the concept of this is lunacy, no?

Yeah, I think this "pronouns" thing is silly to be mad over. But this list of questions is 100% stupid! Like come on, son.

No wonder some of these people are such neurotic, anxious, self-loathing messes. Imagine constantly, and aggressively, questioning and studying yourself after every small action taken. Did this negatively impact someone else? Am I feeding into stereotypes? Am I a bad person? Am I...am I...am I?

That is not a sustainable way of life.

The bolded is the best way to put it. It's no sustainable way to live.

Now after finally watching one of his videos in full for the first time, he reminds me a lot of Styxhexenhammer666 in cadence and viewpoints. They look like they can be brothers in a way as well.

I'm not a huge enough fan of Asmon to watch his long videos but I do watch chips from his secondary channel called Asmongold's Clips. And he's always been reasonable in those when he points out the insanity and flaws from the woke lunatics and other scumbags.

I love how woke people simplify it "oh no, the pronouns are gonna get you".

No, it's the principle of the thing. It starts with one thing, translates to whatever other nonsense, and never ends.

Of all the people you don't want to give an inch, as they'll take a mile, it's woke people. They should have zero influence over societal norms.

 

[dispensergoinup]

Look I don't care if a game checks whatever on that list with flying colors but not every game should be required to have all that.

That's just insane. I can't see why creatives would push to have that kind of homogenization and not actually be able to tell the story they want to tell.

But hey, go nuts. Won't be me buying that.

I'm trying to understand why companies like Microsoft aren't responding to Japanese and Korean games selling well that DON'T adhere to those questions on that list. Would Stellar Blade never have been made if it was up to MS? What games have Microsoft passed on because the creatives wanted the lead female character to have curves?

No, it's the principle of the thing. However, those morons just expect you to lay down and take it.

Besides that it starts with one thing, translates to whatever other nonsense, and never ends.

There's a Marxist theory that says you don't introduce things quickly or too much at once, you do them slowly to try and normalize them. I forget the exact name of the tactic, but that's what they are doing here. They are trying to normalize this shit. It just gives me so much joy to see the push back against this stuff.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

This.

Besides being completely unnatural and but 99% of the time, they don't even do a good job roleplaying the opposite gender anyway with their half ass surgeries making them look like weirdos at the end lol. Only a few exceptions like some Thai Ladyboys got a okay convincing look. Overall it's less 1%.

Yep and this is actually very important cause if you allow some of the evil and sick shits to be okay than expect to see them push for more crazier and nasty things later on and repeat. Now we are at the point where there are things that shouldn't even be debatable become one. Thankfully more people are looking through this nasty agenda now compared to a decade ago.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Boolean values. Good grief.....I'm starting to see things that are going to inevitably offend some people before they even realize it.

Lol if I’m being honest, that tri-state Boolean with 5 values is deeply offensive to me as a programmer. It ain’t natural, it ain’t right, and it goes against God’s will.

If you are using a switch statement for a "boolean" then your shit just ain't right

[Boglin]

Connecting things to Revelation, it won't be the woke shits that will fool people cause too many people are against it and realize it's wrong and disgusting. But it'll be Transhumanism that will be the downfall of people. Most media shows it as cool and awesome so barely anybody looks at Transhumanism as bad. Mixing of Iron and Clay, worshipping the image of the Beast, Metaverse, Mark of the Beast etc. Woke stuff are basically a scapegoat/distraction to the final boss.

This reminds me of the evangelicals in the 80s who accused Dungeons & Dragons of promoting Satanism, witchcraft, and sorcery.

Was born after the 80s but seen those dungeon and dragon ones on youtube and it was funny lol. I wasn't serious with my post anyway since my favorite movie was from the 80s with a huge amount of witchcraft and sorcery. The sword and sorcery movies were some of my favorites.

Yup, people have had enough. It's not some videogame forum bubble either

You don't get it, none of this is actually happening, or if it is happening it doesn't matter, just let it be

[ChorizoPicozo]

The Art Director just killed Avowed. Awesome.

 

[Harlock]

Even the pronouns are in 30 fps.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Let me guess, main villain is Ronald Rump and his enforcer Leon Dusk while the goal of the game is to take down the patriarchy.

Face it, the entire western gaming scene has been taken over by looney tunes. It's fucked.

 

[FunkMiller]

Honestly, that guy has gone from annoying to absolutely the best entertainment in this thread. Absolute fucking nutcase. Prime ‘point on the doll at where the priest touched you’ energy.

 

[FunkMiller]

So Avowed's art director is using the game to wage war with Elon Musk. Brilliant.

“Sorry you feel that way Elon, but our game is meant for everyone, including you! We’d looking forward to seeing how people react to the game when it comes out February 18th!”

…that’s probably more what I would have advised he say, but then I’m just a PR consultant, and not a fucking idiot.

 

[demigod]

Mediocre looking game. Should’ve focused on the game instead of being woke.

This will be a common theme for the next couple years while we wait for the industry to catch up with reality

Yep the industry should heal itself bit by bit from this point on. There's already a massive pushback against these sick shits from shows and games but should be even more from this year old. Good news is the huge majority of the world don't like woke shits since even a lot of neutral non culture war folks don't like or support it. Bad news is because there's so many people in the world, even 10% of the people supporting these mental nutjobs would seem like a lot.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

At least now we have confirmed where there's smoke there's fire

That one Obsidian dev self owning his studio is incontrovertible evidence lmao

 

[Denton]

…that’s probably more what I would have advised he say, but then I’m just a PR consultant, and not a fucking idiot.

yeah but his response is way funnier, in more ways than one

 

[Boss Mog]

So this pedo looking dude who's making a game that looks last gen, with crap gameplay on a dead platform is taking shots at one of the biggest visionary minds of the 21st century from the comfort of his hugbox over at bluesky. Okay buddy, you sure showed Elon...

Isn't that just a picture of him when he was younger?

This is him. Typical west coast hipster look.

Time to support asian and eastern developers and let western developers vanish already

So we not buying GTA 6?

Except for Space Marine, GTA, and Ratchet and Clank games.

That key art still fucking rips.

I'm not giving up on the game entirely. But this saga is helping no one.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Soycore looks aside, what the fuck is that tweet?

 

[Kokoloko85]

Wonder if a certain demographic keeps the same energy they had for Concord.

Indeed. Sounds like theres gonna be alot more DEI/Woke in this game’s world than there was in Concord.
The excuse is, the developer hasnt attacked gamers, just Elon…

 

[Kacho]

Soycore looks aside, what the fuck is that tweet?

Oh that? It’s just racism. Dont worry Avowed is in great hands.

 

[farmerboy]

Whatever.

Like literally whatever. I'm so over all this crap.

On the one hand, yes, the woke are a scourge on society.

But on the other hand, if this allows someone to enjoy the game just that little bit more, in the privacy of their own home, then good luck to them I guess.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Probably much more Concord threads than this so what do you think?

My feelings on it as well. I’m a straight white male who has had entertainment catered to him his entire life. I am all for trying to make something more inclusive. Now, if it affects the writing in an RPG, that’s another matter entirely. You can go overboard with it.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I don’t think James Sawyer Ford has it in him to write nearly as many posts defending Avowed.

 

[DW74]

A drip here. A drip there.

Then one day you wonder how and when your tea became piss flavored. You have to draw a line somewhere.

I think the issue with these kinds of things is that we’ve seen the ideology go way past choices in the character creation screen, and deep into the narrative and character as well.

If this was the first case of this type of thing happening, I don’t think the backlash would be as bad. But this is a game a lot of people were excited about, and all of this stuff throws up huge red flags, due to precedent being set by other games.

 

[Rocky_Balboa]

I was quite excited to play Avowed. Now I am not so sure. Whenever this shit is pushed into games, it is usually a bad sign. It doesn't mean that game with pronouns/genderconfusion is automatically bad, but it does tell something about who are in charge of developing the game.

Yep it always go further than that, I have no doubt that this is another game that's pure evil and straight from the pits of hell itself.

Obsidian in the past did a great job with New Vegas and I like how they included lgbt characters with Veronica and Arcade plus a few others and even offer queer choices if one so choose to do so. No foul evil corrupted, twisted, fucked up, jaw dropping, sick etc were pushed as it fits organically into the game. It'll be a dream if they were able to go back there with a new Fallout game.

Are you doing a bit with all the religious and satan stuff?

I will not play any games that was made by SATAN himself!

Unless it has sexy demon chicks.

[ShadyAcshuns]

Fuck. These woke devs are ruining the hell out of the AAA Western games market. It's not even just the pronouns, it's the devs who seem to have a ton of hate in their hearts for regular people and gamers who don't vibe with their ideology.

I was interested in this game when it got announced, but after reading some of the social media posts from these people, there's no way I'd play their games. What happened to Obsidian? Surely this isn't the same devs that made New Vegas, it couldn't be.
