What is a "Woke" Game

And you feel that these things are being pushed on you, that they feel forced. 

Feelings have real world impact. People make choices based on how they feel. Politicians pass laws based on how people feel about things.

 "I dont want puppies to get hurt" Thats weird since alot of us want them to suffer immensly... Dont be silly. 

Some people do want them to suffer.

Even more people don't particularly care until it starts affecting them. 

This goes both ways. 

Many countries in the world pushed back against gay people, criminalized them. Some of that still happens to this day. It wasn't that long ago, that gay people were allowed to get married in some of the freest countries in the world. 

Plenty of gay people are tired of being pushed out of conversations, and they're lashing back. 

Same goes for trans people. They're tired of being pushed out of society. They're lashing out with the little power they have. 

Yet you don't seem to have as much empathy for those people.

Its easy to say you want peace on earth and people to get a long, but you cant even get along with several people on just this site alone. You really dont see any flaws in your logic here?

Getting along with people goes two ways. I'm not able to force people to get along with them. The best I can do most of the time is advocate for people; and be kind when I can. 

Why has me not wanting to be lectured in video games suddenly turned into that I dont have sympathy for people in the LGBTQIA+ community? Im trying to explain how some people may behave the way they do from past experiences, but all you guys see are hate. When have I said anything about not caring about other people? I do care and I want everyone to live their lives the way they want. I also care about people who get blamed for being anti this or anti that. Because I know that people arent born evil and I try to see their side of the argument and what makes them think that way. I have tried to find common ground with you guys, but thats just a waste of time obviously.

I talk about people who have experienced something negative and they see red flags in everything. You guys think that is stupid and then you turn around and call me hateful because "You are seeing the patterns" in how I talk. Red Flags......Seeing the patters.......anything? We are talking about the same thing!

You dont even know that you agree with a lot of what Im saying. You are just so obsessed with coming off as the good guys to see that we are not that different. We just express ourselves in different ways. I have flaws(obviously), but nothing I have said in this thread is in any way hateful towards any kind of person.(Except you and Runa, but you know...) 

Anyways, I need to go to bed. I will dream of world peace and happy puppies.

Is it truly you being lectured or is it that you just have no clue.  Meaning, since I am guessing you are a straight white male, do you have any ideal what its like to be gay, lesbian or trans.  Now I do understand you may not care about them but they do exist and have real stories which could be considered lectured but instead are just stories about lives you have no concept of.  What would be a scene that you would feel isn't lecturing you, one where the gay person is playing a stereotypical role or one where you can easily ignore because its short.

The point I am trying to make is that you seem to only want straight white male stories, which is fine, so play those games.  Instead you want to use a word that is being used to demean anything that is not what you like and champion that word and you are shocked that you are getting push back from it.  If you use a word that is being used in a hateful way then why be shocked you are getting put into that box.

You want to continue to use the word woke, thats fine but you cannot act as if you do not know the context its being used and its overall meaning.
