      What ISN’T woke to conservatives/republicans anymore?

      Please don’t answer that, I know the answer, but come on. Pick up a book.

      Having a consistent definition of "woke" is too woke for some fossils.

            Lots of respect for Doug Cockle, the VA. He could use the outcry to try to get another big deal and make more money as the main character, but instead he recognizes the witcher is bigger than him or his character and is happy to have another person take the lead role and the spotlight.

              Woke did not exist before 2015, so everything created before that year is, in fact, absolutely based. Including all those apolitical masterpieces I grew up with, such as Metal Gear Solid and Bioshock. I wish they still made fun games instead of insisting on shoving leftist commentary down out throats. I really want to enjoy gaming again but developers are woke leftists now 😞

              Lucky for us, the glorious Nippon country is untouched by woke. No, I don't know Japan and I've never visited it, but i play a lot of VNs, which is basically the same thing.

              EDIT: In case it wasn't clear... /s

                    honestly though, calling it woke makes me want to check it now...so 🤷. I am not sure woke is the insult its intended to be.

                        I mean... Yes. You literally can.

                        Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby... You can create infinite video games with the same main character over and over again. Its like an infinite money glitch if the character is popular and well liked.

                            The difference is that none of those characters had their stories wrapped up.

                            Geralt's story was wrapped up in Witcher 3. That was the whole point.

                                According to these CHUDS, having sex with girls is gay. I'll leave it up to you to research that logic.

                                    What happened to him in the end? I remember her sacrificing herself to the winter, but all I remember is Geralt living and then the post game DLC. Maybe I got the really weird ending, haha

                                          The difference is that none of those characters had their stories wrapped up.

                                          Geralt's story was wrapped up in Witcher 3. That was the whole point.

                                          Witcher 4 starts off with Geralt waking up realising witcther 3 was all a dream and he has plenty of story left to monitize.
