Darkard, in "Woke people are saying non-woke games are woke to boycott non-woke entertainment", wtf?

When someone says “woke” I immediately assume that they have an opinion of the thing in question that they know will be seen as sexist, racist or -phobic in some way that if they said directly would get them called out on.

It’s just another cowards way of saying “I’m not racist but…”

Platforms should start considering "woke" a slur, cause that's pretty much how it's used.

“I fuck up late”?

JJROKCZ,

He’s saying if some is considered a slur, then it will be censored, if it’s censored then you get odd looking and confusing sentences like that

Think they call that the “Scunthorpe Dilemma”.

surewhynotlem,

Can something be a slur if no one is offended by it?

4am,
@4am@lemmy.world avatar

Thus successfully agitating liberals into censoring a word that originally was created by the black community to highlight the calling out of systemic racism and it’s lasting effects on society.

Which means the assholes win.

Not woke does not mean racist.

blackbelt352,

People who base their identities about calling things woke or not woke are in fact very likely to be racist, or sexist, or homophobic, or transphobic.

Zeroxxx,
@Zeroxxx@lemmy.my.id avatar

100% true nonsense.

Extraltodeus,

Or some people don’t appreciate the bullshit constantly pushed?

STUPIDVIPGUY,

Depends on what you consider bullshit. And if you complain about woke you probably have stupid opinions.

True that some ‘woke’ game suck, like that most recent saint’s row. But that’s because the writing is terrible, not because it includes minorities. Just an example

Alterforlett,

The bullshit wouldn’t be pushed if marginalized people in our society would be treated the same as everyone else and you know it. Grow up and stop being annoyed with black mermaids ffs

Roundcat,
@Roundcat@kbin.social avatar

Like what? what don't you appreciate? What exactly and specifically about it is bullshit? Are we too afraid to say what we actually hate about the content being presented?

MargotRobbie,
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s gotten to the point that anyone who actually uses “woke” as an insult just looks completely ridiculous now.

Ten years ago it was called “politics”.

Keep women and non-Anglo Saxon people politics out of my war games based on real world conflicts - Gamer™

Rom,
@Rom@lemmy.world avatar

Ten years before that it was “political correctness” when gamers weren’t allowed to use the n-word.

Pokethat,

I don’t use it because it’s social suicide, but I think either everyone should be allowed to use it or no one should. But that’s like an opinion on USA tipping culture. You can have your opinions, just don’t exercise them unless you’re ready for trouble

vzq,

That’s the beauty of freedom. You are free to use it. Other people are free to shun you for being a fucking racist bigot.

Freedom is grand.

norapink,
@norapink@kbin.social avatar

I don't use it because I'm not black so it would be racist for me to... But you do you.

Also I just don't have the desire to use it.

“Political”

White and political.
Male and political.
Straight and political.
Christian and political.

idunnololz,
@idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

I remember when being called woke was a compliment. I miss those days :(

Alterforlett,

Still is. If someone who doesn’t think anyone else but white, straight people are allowed representation in our diverse world calls you woke as a slur, you wear that as a badge of honor

BradleyUffner,

“Woke” apparently means being aware of systemic societal issues, and wanting to fix them. I’ll gladly wear that “insult”.

TheKarion,

Woke means sexist against men, racist against Caucasians and cis-phobic

MajorHavoc,

Narrator: It does not.

chicken,

That’s probably a fair assumption at this point, but I wish there was a word for egregiously obnoxious shoehorning of culture war stuff that wouldn’t get immediately diluted into a generic partisan shibboleth. For instance when they were doing the Enhanced Edition of the first games, and using the characters as mouthpieces to break the fourth wall to whine about gamergate, I don’t think you really have to be a bigot to be annoyed by it or want to put a label on that sort of thing.

ouigol, in Finally, someone made a web browser that isn't woke

I’ve never understood the appeal of OperaGX. It’s always seemed over-engineered and full of features I’ll never use.

And their Twitter is so off-putting and posts so questionable stuff that I don’t really want to be associated with that browser

Skipcast,

It’s also chromium based which is a big no these days for me personally

dojan,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

That’s just gaming in general though, isn’t it? Overengineered and ugly-flashy is just the gamer aesthetic.

Venomnik0,

Didn’t they shill for elon at some point?

Being able to set a limit on RAM and CPU being used is pretty great. Being able to easily see which tabs are using the most of each is even better. I use it for sites that are hogs in Firefox, and sites that don't load right in Firefox.

kadu, in Even 4chan knows
@kadu@lemmy.world avatar

I’m adverse to any “reaction” content.

krashmo,

Definitely. There’s a few scenarios that could be fun to watch but they would all be related to the person reacting. For example, a musician reacting to a bad review of their album. Outside of stuff like that just decide what you think about the topic on your own. You don’t need someone to do that for you.

ChickenLadyLovesLife,

As much as I hate reaction videos, even worse are the videos of people reacting to reaction videos.

JackbyDev, in "Woke people are saying non-woke games are woke to boycott non-woke entertainment", wtf?

Is this game wok?

I love char grilled food and spent a lot of time with it.

JJROKCZ, in "Woke people are saying non-woke games are woke to boycott non-woke entertainment", wtf?

It contains women and POC not being completely subservient to the nearest white man at all times and so they consider it “woke”

MxM111,

There is bear sex in it. Must be woke.

VivaceMoss,

Freedom of choice that literally affects no one?

VivaceMoss,

What if my religion says you shouldn’t go around fuckin’ bears tho?

Then would you give up your bear-fuckin’?

Buddahriffic,

MY religion says I must support bear fuckers at all costs. So I guess it’s a religious war.

I don’t have time for something like that though. If I send you an Amazon gift of several bags of salt, could you kindly spread that over your fields for me? And then send a reaction video, maybe gift me some candles for my curtains and I’ll do the same.

JackbyDev,

My religion says “if he’s a bear, it’s gay, unless he’s a literal bear” but wildshaping was not known to the sages so we must mediate on this.

4am,
@4am@lemmy.world avatar

So that’s what the classroom litter boxes were for; the bears. I KNEW it! /s

GeneralEmergency, in "Woke people are saying non-woke games are woke to boycott non-woke entertainment", wtf?

What having zero personality does to a motherfucker

cmbabul,

Also constantly being bombarded with propaganda from the day we’re born. Some folks figure it out, others fall in line with it

MxM111,
@MxM111@kbin.social avatar

What?

PunnyName, (edited )

Bitching about everyone being “woke” = having no personality.

Because they’re just a parrot, with less charisma or intellect than an actual parrot.

JackbyDev,

🦜 RAAAAHHH Go woke go broke go woke go broke

SubArcticTundra, in Finally, someone made a web browser that isn't woke

Venomnik0,

Its kinda funny that she’s smiling here. Almost as if she knew what she was doing.

PostingInPublic, in "Woke people are saying non-woke games are woke to boycott non-woke entertainment", wtf?

“I’m deathly afraid of the gay, is there any gay in the game? Because I don’t know what will happen if I’m confronted with the gay!!!”

“Calm down, nothing in there is going to remind you of these urges of yours, play away.”

My translation.

Here_in_Malaysia, (edited )

So the guy in the pic is just a homophobic bigot? Or homophobic but also sexist, on account of the female characters looking as worn as the male characters? I’m too old to understand what woke means, but the guy’s post is also confusing to read.

MaximumOverflow,

Nobody knows what woke actually means in cases like these because it basically signifies “anything I don’t like or agree with”.

It usually means you aren’t racist, you don’t hate gay people or any other member of the lgbt community, and treat women fairly. So like… a decent human being.

ekZepp, in Finally, someone made a web browser that isn't woke
@ekZepp@lemmy.world avatar

Chromium is that you?

Skipcast, (edited ) in Finally, someone made a web browser that isn't woke

I don’t get it, there’s nothing political about this or am I just blind?

Edit: actually after waking up a bit and seeing other posts on this community i get the joke now

ouigol,

It’s just a joke that gamers don’t want anything “woke” in their games. So a browser made for gamers of course won’t have anything woke in it.

It’s just a trait of circlejerk communities, recycling jokes over and over again on every post

Madnessx9, in Even 4chan knows

Guy chats some utter crap, not even funny, no idea how he is popular, I think he was also caught cheating, although my reflection could be off.

I’ve always wanted to stream games, when you see someone like that at the top it makes you think anything is possible

alienanimals, in Even 4chan knows

XQC is a jerk.

redimk, in Even 4chan knows
@redimk@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I once tried to watch one of his livestreams… I had no idea what he was saying and he was trying to come up with a simple argument/sentence for something and took about 3-5 minutes to go through 7 words.

I mean, kudos to him for making it to the top but… I seriously have no clue how people understand when he tries to talk.

youthinkyouknowme,

I once saw a clip where he seemed to be a stutterer. If that’s the case, it’s understandable.

thedrivingcrooner,
@thedrivingcrooner@lemmy.world avatar

I think he’s on the spectrum as well, that combination plus his french Canadian accent makes some people dislike him.
