You got all upset and wrote a bunch of whatever for nothing. I barely read any of it because of your tone and lack of context.

If a student asks a teacher why the Japs joined the Nazi's in WWII and the teacher answers, does that make the teacher a Nazi or even pro Nazi?

What if the teacher is a really old Conservative? Definitely a Nazi then? What if the teacher spends most of their free time playing the Wolfenstein games because of the pure joy they get out of mowing down digital Nazi's? Just a gamer? What if that old Conservative teacher actually fought in WWII against the Nazi's? Context?

Where did I personalize my answer? Where did I say that's what I stood for or behind? They asked a question and I gave them an answer.

A much bigger problem with today's world is assumptions and trying to stop people from conversing.

As for Concord, I personally have no problem with it existing. I'm pleased that the studio was able to make a new IP, make it the they wanted, and get it into the market. I'm not big into GAAS games myself and when it comes to GAAS games, I'm not big into that genre so it's not something that interests me. So when it comes to how woke or not the game is, personally I don't care. If the game is super woke and there are people who love it and play it for that reason alone, fantastic.

You need to stop jumping to conclusions.

Nah, the real problem today is that people are JUST smart enough to make arguments that kinda sound reasonable to people who aren't smart enough to identify the bigotry and hatred that fuels them...but not smart or empathetic enough to see how all of this is making the world a worse place. 

Anti-woke brigades are, as I said, just excuses to justify bigotry and normalize a lack of empathy, all wrapped up in a package of disingenuous concern trolling so it sounds reasonable until you actually think about it. 

Games are better when they are more inclusive. Complaining about that says so much about you as a person that honestly I'm not even offended that you didn't read my rant because [insert overplayed joke about conservatives not being educated here]. 

Based on the other responses you're getting from others who are far more level-headed than I am should tell you just how far off the mark you actually are. This crusade against decency is just so weird, dude.

Which is why I was asking about Concord, I still don't know if it's any good or bad, it's hard to tell because people decided for it to be bad without even knowing what it was... maybe it really is bad, but who knows, certainly not the people pushing that pathetic agenda, gaming is just one more front for them to try to push it.

AS for Concord...I really don't know. I haven't been following it not because of any agendas or drama or politics, I just don't like hero shooters or GaaS models so I just sort of tuned it out the moment I heard about it. Not really my style of game. I just am so sick and tired of a certain group of people valorizing a lack of empathy and championing a less diverse world, ESPECIALLY in video games. Like I said, I Was there for the first 30 years of the medium and it was ROUGH for any girls or women to play games and even worse for gay people. You have no idea how many N-bombs I heard get dropped in COD lobbies. Being 'woke' is good, and as you and others have said, it's a good thing that the world is pushing for more diversity and inclusion because everything is better when we're unified rather than torn apart. 

And I can't not call out disgusting behaviour when I see it. And I think 'anti-woke' is some of the most insidious because it encapsulates everything wrong with modern discourse and the tactics used mostly by conservatives by framing their bigotry as self defense. 

"Nothing is more dangerous than someone in power who believes themselves to be oppressed". and that's exactly what we have here. Entitled, privileged people actively trying to stomp out dissent because instead of being like 85% of all representation they're only like 60% or something. Going from 'nearly all the power' to 'still most of the power but slightly less' and they're throwing a fit like they're oppressed or something.
