Support NeoGAF

[amigastar]

I understand that but let's not generalized. Some of these threads are legit and even necessary in some situations so people know where they are getting into with some games.

For instance, the ones that I made had enough proof to show that I was right. If some people are imitating me the wrong way its not my fault.

Bold words there Gonzito papito,
my point is i was joking about the lunatics, those threads are ok and all but the amount of them makes me wish for a dedicated thread for it.

 

[Neo 007]

Ask Asmon.....He'll tell ya.

 

[nush]

I'm with Gonzito on this.

Who owns the machinery behind the curtain? The machine will sell you visibility while keeping ownership. The machine will put your face on the poster while keeping its hand in your pocket. If Black people are creating games, financing games, controlling studios, teaching coding to all youths, and building economic strength from it, then that's cool. But if all we become are mascots inside somebody else's empire, then we are mistaking the appearance of inclusion for the reality of liberation.

That a very concise summary of a conversation with someone I had over dinner that had worked in the music industry. Nobody round that table was black.

 

[Putonahappyface]

No.

 

[Duchess]

Oh Christ, yes please.

I'm starting to get bored of coming onto NeoGAF and seeing these threads constantly :|

 

[Topher]

oh great......another woke fight thread

 

[Hadoukens]

When woke slop is no longer being made then you'll see it stop organically.

 

[Black_Stride]

Black Voices in Gaming is a woke event?
While alot of those games arent for me but Gameplay Group doing Avatar is one of my most looked forward to games right now.
And if Avatar is woke then fuck it im jumping into woke waters cuz everything ive seen of this game has had me excited for more.

 

[Brigandier]

or just have one mega thread to put all woke slop commentary in, we really don't need a new thread every time a game is about to come out and/or a trailer releases -_-

This is what I was gonna say, A single thread to post all of the new and suspected "slop" in

 

[Polaris]

If you want these types of threads and content to die out, ignore them.
Hate watchers are no different than unironic followers and fans.

Our papi Gonzito is a one man woking crew

 

[BennyBlanco]

Correct, woke or anti-woke you all are fundamentally the same person just separated by the smallest margin is the funny part. This is a video game forum, who gives a shit if it's 'woke'? It's not like you ask that everywhere else, is this gas station woke, is this orange woke, is this screwdriver woke? I mean you don't know who works, collected, made those things. Why regulate just to videogames?

When screwdrivers start looking like this you will have a valid point

 

[Sethbacca]

You could literally just not watch the events that aren't targeted at you as a demographic instead of wasting time and effort to post about it. It literally takes less effort to do nothing. So no, no breaks.

 

[Gonzito]

You know, seeing some people so angry at me for making these threads makes me think I am doing something right.

You know what? I've made my decision. I am not gonna stop making those threads if they release more woke crap

He's not referring to that though. He's referring to things like pointing to some lesbian actor, pointing to the fact the studio contributed to BLM.

You don't ask yourself those dumb questions when you buy a screwdriver do you. Why do you do it for games?

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

This thread would've been better if your username was GayChild

 

[reinking]

All I know is that I woke up this morning to a lot of slop.

 

[Topher]

For the virtue signaling circle jerk that occurs here constantly.

 

[Roman Empire]

I'm with Gonzito here. Bringing awareness about these agenda-driven games is basically public service and the discussion around it is necessary.

I see no issue with the threads. It is not like it is the only thing being discussed in this forum.

They say you only roast the ones you love. Papi you should have have just said you're a fan of woke slop from the get go.

 

[PontificationEngine]

Immediately question the intelligence of anyone making these threads.

It is in literally every thread in this forum, or like 95% of them anyway. It's too much. It would be nice if this shit were confined to a thread so that people who actually want to discuss the games aren't getting sidetracked by this shit every other post, and you all can go to town without the rest of us interrupting your fun as we just put the thread on ignore.

 

[Hudo]

If we start banning people (which we shouldn't), then go all the way and ban people who start "wokeslop" threads and also ban people who come into threads and only cry about stuff being "woke". Both groups are fucking annoying.

 

[Gonzito]

Immediately question the intelligence of anyone making these threads.

And yet you are here in the thread with us

 

[Sethbacca]

To be fair, I don't think any banning should occur no matter how annoying I find it. These conversations are inherently political and don't belong in the gaming section though.

I think it is more into your face kind of thing if you stick with only the front page threads, as it is the ones that drive more discussion due to its nature. From the multiple threads I'm watching, probably 3 are from this type of content, out of 10+ I'm watching. It is a significant amount, but not like it is "everywhere".

 

[Hudo]

I fundamentally agree. We shouldn't ban people for either. Otherwise, we should just close the forum entirely. Still, both groups are annoying as fuck. The latter more so than the former as of late...

 

[Kacho]

The proposed 'solutions' are all really just wokesters who want the ideology protected by censorship like it is most places (they know it cannot be defended with reason). Many such cases.

I see it too. I also think there's truth to this comment from SHAKEZ . It's a subtle way to poison the well.

Fair, I don't read every thread obviously, mostly just the ones that interest me in the title. It does feel like it's pretty pervasive though.

 

[Gonzito]

But if these conversations dont belong to a gaming section, why do developers keep pushing political agendas in videogames?

No one should get banned, imo. Think each thread should be looked at as to whether there is merit for it just like anything else and a decision should be made to close it or leave it open. That's it. I don't always agree with Gonzito on this stuff, but I don't want him or anyone else to get banned because they feel strongly about something.

 

[calico]

If it's related to game content or the games industry, how does it not belong in the gaming section?

 

[StereoVsn]

When developers stop polluting beloved IPs with this shit then people will stop complaining.

Gonzito is doing God's work!

If folks don't like discussions on a discussion forum there are ignore buttons.

 

[Sethbacca]

My dude, 99% of the woke complaints around here are dudes tilting at windmills. You all complain woke for the most minor fucking shit.

brown person = woke
wrong haircut = woke
not big enough boobs = woke
etc etc etc. it's a fucking joke at this point.

You guys are basically the boy who cried wolf at this point. It's hard to take you seriously when you call every little thing woke.

 

[Hudo]

I see it too. I also think there's truth to this comment from SHAKEZ . It's a subtle way to poison the well.

Imagine all the time you have, and you choose to spend it on going all "secret agent" in another forum just to derail discourse there.

That's the saddest shit I have heard in a long while.

I dont call everything woke. I just call woke what is woke.

Dont use these silly weak arguments with me because they are not gonna work

 

[Sethbacca]

These conversations are completely provoked by media. Literally none of these conversations are organically occurring. You all latched onto some youtuber or podcaster at some point who triggers your little rage buttons by shooting off triggering buzzwords like woke, and dei, and lgbtq. Lets not pretend that any of you have come to these conclusions by yourselves. This is just political conversation masquerading as an attempt to discuss gaming.

Nah, while certainly there is some overkill, refusal to see the constantly recurring BS messaging in games despite the evidence to the contrary is what's driving the pushback.

The vast majority of us literally don't care though. We just don't play games we don't have an interest in. It's that easy.

At any rate. I'm gonna back out of this thread. These never end well and no minds will be changed so it's pointless. It's gonna continue to be what it is.

Nice straw man right here. Folks are perfectly capable of forming opinions without outrage YouTubers.

This doesn't make any sense at all. A gas station isn't entertainment i consume. Just like shitty woke movies I won't watch i dont want to waste my time playing shitty woke video games. The fact people are upset those games get the label and discussed is weird.

 

[StereoVsn]

Then hit the ignore button on the thread and you don't have to read it if you don't care.

Somehow you care enough to keep posting in defense of crap polluting a lot of gaming.

People are just sick of it. Look at the reaction to Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. I'm not paying $70 to be lectured by enlightened Redditors. You do whatever you want with your money.

Hoping for a cooking game called Slope Wok.

 

[Gonzito]

What a nonsensical view.

I've seen this type of tactic before. This person knows the problem is real but he wants you to believe that everything around wokism is just in your head, its just your imagination and is not a big deal lol
