When did the woke trend start in gaming?

The bigotry of not respecting Ostro's preferred pronouns. How BASED
 
Around 2012. I remember because that's when I was arguing with idiots online who were pushing for the censorship of characters like Ivy in Soul Calibur 5. It was also when Anita Sarkeesian's videos criticizing the look of female characters in games started hitting mainstream. Little did we know at the time the monster that was brewing that would then grow to take over the industry leading to mega flops like Concord, Dragon Age Veilguard, etc. and the downfall of Western gaming.

Around what era? What specific games started the trend? Were they successful?
Jason Schreier trying to shame Kamitani for the Sorceress' design, causing Kamitani to respond with the gay dwarves pic. It was the first time a gaming journalist openly attacked a developer's female designs and belittling them in front of their fans.

And it worked. Kamitani's designs were less 'provoking' after that.
 
Its not that deep, bro, its simple- supply and demand- 18yo avg girl straight from highschool can easily accumulate 1k bodies in a year if she only desires, for the simple reason men(and i mean all men, 18-60yo, aka with functioning pp ;) look for youth, fertility, beauty in the females, we dont give a damn about her education, career, wealth, socioeconomic status, if she has confidence/ is funny/charismatic and so on.

Women on the other hand ofc still care if man is tall/handsome/fit(so physical looks) but on top they prioritise his wealth/resources and status, they want him to be charismatic and funny too, most men have none of those qualities when they become adults, and must work for years, often decades to achieve that, hence at the starting line we got 0 sexual value, aka no way to get sex - hence we become involountary celibate :)
You realize this doesn't make any sense?
 
The rot well and truly set in in the 10s, but the first sign of it for me was when they had to make all the zombies in RE5 all multicultural because of backlash from some dickheads about murdering black people.

If u accuse me of lieing then simply point out where specifically i lied, reality sometimes doesnt make sense if u believe femist lies that men and women are the same/equal, but we as men cant be that delusional or we wont get kitty :P
