Dragon Age Creator Slams "Woke" Criticism: "You're an Idiot"
Dragon Age Creator Slams "Woke" Criticism: "You're an Idiot"
Who are these fucking complete garbage people who can conceive of a world where there are elves, dwarves, Qunari and darkspawn, but trans people are a bridge too far?
True Polymorph is a bridge too far, my good sir.

I have no idea what woke even means anymore. It seems to mean "social awareness". Black lives matters kind of a thing. Equal rights for trans people too of course. That doesn't mean that everyone should support games being forced into having all genders, or races, or include trans people. Or all books or movies should be forced to have those things.
If you create something, it's up to you how you want that to be. You are the artist.
This is not equal to hating trans people, and anyone with some iq points realizes this. We can't turn every creation into a vehicle for trans rights.

The fuck are you talking about? No one is forcing anyone to “have all genders or races or include trans people”
There's some trans people in media

I have one problem with this:
slams
... siiiiigh
Everybody get up, it's time to slam now
We got a real jam goin' down
Welcome to the Space Jam
can you explain?
It's a very overused and absolutely terrible use of a word.
For two reasons:
- It has a predefined meaning, and if you read what the DA creators say, they're not actually "slamming" it. While they're pretty openly hostile - and for good reason - that's a far cry from what someone "slamming" someone else or a quote would be.
- It's inclusion in the headline is for sensationalism, which would not be needed as the "You're an idiot!"-quote already does that. Or maybe it's just surprising how desensitivized people on the net are nowadays.
To think it further, consider the whole headline had been slam-ified:
Dragon Age GOATs slam "woke" lollerz: "Cry moar!"
Game not selling well? Find a tweet from a nobody talking about your shitty game being "woke." Sensationalize it, position yourself as a bastion fighting against the hordes, imply that only by purchasing the failing game can the average liberal "fight back."
Profit.
Ffs, there's no conspiracy here mate, the game is meeting expectations. The problem is there are a lot of trolls trying to tear it down because trans people are in it, not that the writers are calling out bigots.
Ooh, I know this one! WoTC already did that earlier this year by putting out their own "woke criticism" press-release so that they could secretly introduce gambling as a D&D product via blind-boxes.
