someone missed the story in breath of the wild

CRT is also something they couldnt grasp or understanding, i felt like that dint stick too long, like woke did. crt is meant for LAW SCHOOL graduate studies. it was harder for low-brain conservatives to comprehend then woke and dei.

DEI is the new woke, but woke still is used heavily too.

Ciri has a relationship with a woman in the books, so I’m not sure you will miss what I assume you’re referring to as “the masculine indulgences” as much as you think you will.

On the other hand, CDPR retconned a shedload of that book so we shall see.

Ikr, idiots would rather be asleep at the wheel of life.

Any person who unironically uses "woke" is a complete douche canoe and can go get fucked. Change my mind.

Good to know the VA isn't a dickhead chud here. I'm not aware of him beyond this, but that's at least a small win in my book.

Came here to say this. Anyone that's played Witcher 3 should have already known that Ciri was going to be the protagonist in the next game. I can't wait. Ciri is badass.

I've said for years that one or more of the main characters should be prominent, but you play most of the game as a custom character and you get to choose your witcher school. So I'm sort of hoping that she's the protagonist and main character in a similar way to how she is TW3.

Well, unless you fucked up the choices near the end. Really not fond of CDPR's habit of that.

I won't. Nobody is able to define what "wokeness" really means to them because it's mostly code for "subset of people I don't want to exist around me".

Surprisingly, that doesn't sound very good when said out loud.

You suddenly made it clear in my mind that most talk about hormones and other "gym biochem" reeks of body horror.

Geralt could go on a Gwent tour.. but what's this? Upon entering this new land of Walachia, some bandits stole his Gwent deck while he was asleep in his camp. And he had the ultra rare nude Triss card in it, too! Open, The Witcher 4: a quest for cards and vengeance.

Many diverse characters all fighting back against their unfair economic situation.

"... and that's terrible."

I also remember Portal 2 being on that list for "Most male characters are being depicted as incompetent compared to female characters" or something.

Dude. There are 4 characters in the whole game, counting one that's dead but probably has the most characterization. Two are male. One guy is definitely a moron by design, but the other was definitely not incompetent. Mad, evil, sure. But he certainly achieved stuff.

All of those games' characters are essentially just mascots though (other than samus). So they're not really an applicable comparison for continuing a character long term in a story focused world that tries to be somewhat grounded in terms of consequences and passage of time.

i love woke, keep it coming

The first trailer of Breath of the Wild had a lot of people literally wondering whether that Link was a girl. I didn't see a lot of complaining about it, I wasn't looking for some though.

Also, Gerudo town. I'm not sure what kind of mental gymnastics you'd need to shit on "wokeness" and somehow filter out BotW completely from it.

I'd be down for Witcher 4: Winedew Valley

Wrong way round. The unironic woke is the BLM socially aware activist.

It's since around 2020 woke is mostly used as an insult by douche canoes.

Someone who can tame unicorns and jump through time and space is much more interesting than a berserker monster slayer.

Woke means being aware that an interaction with a cop is a life or death situation. Cops aren't your friends, they're not here to protect you. They're a threat, motivated by cruelty and love of power. When dealing with a cop, you have to speak gently, keep your hands visible at all times, and declare your intentions for every action. Or you could die. You could still die even if you do all that.
