Yes!!! Opinions aren't real anymore, they're all forced. Theres no nuance or rational anymore. People are so stupid they actively make their own lives worse being mad at everything. "Modern FPS games suck"...you ever played Trepang2? Metro? Wolfenstein? "No"....Then STFU lol. They say games are "woke" so much, it actual ruins genuine criticism of over political games. Its like everyone is on some kind of "team". Its so bad YTers actual profit of making over critical videos. Some cool YTers i used to watch are just chuds now, but probrably not even in an honest way.
The only game that has deserved some of the "anti-woke hate" is dragon age veilguard IMO. Taking slaves out of the self-proclaimed slave capital of the in-game world because "people get slavery is bad," the lead writer saying publicly that they feel like their job is "getting paid to be an activist," and also stating "it makes me sad that kids dress up as stormtroopers for Halloween because they don't understand how they are spreading imperialism." Basically, Bioware adopted a philosophy that even depicting racism or prejudice was equivalent to promoting those same ideals - thus they removed anything even remotely offensive in their game. The game didn't do itself any favors by releasing like 3 days before the 2024 election either.... but that's besides the point.
Still, that was more of a broken clock being correct twice per day kind of thing. "Anti-woke" people attack any any every game that has even a whiff of a strong female lead or inclusion of non-white people. It was tired 8+ years ago, and now it's just... exhausting.
