Wasn't there a chud contigent seeing it as "anti woke" though, including some stoking of that from its devs?
Maybe I misheard.
yeah there' something about anti-wokers initially trying to pump it up because of reports about the devs behaviour/internal culture or something, but that's now subsiding as they're realising that they've pumped up a nice looking game about chinese folklore and therefore have promoted understanding of the designated enemy
That's nice.
I hope all the chuddy fans that were there for some perceived "anti wokeness" fuck off.
Lmao the outcome of this is
for the chuds. Fuck em
This seems exploitable and assymetric.
Chuds will signal boost anything they perceive as anti-woke, while woke people will do their homework. We should start upholding certain stuff as certified anti-woke to bait chuds into stanning shit we like.
setting up a honeypot bideo gaem news website that accuses the devs of Celeste of having a frat-bro culture and explicit anti-DEI policies in their company constitution
Supposedly people who got review keys were sent an email forbidding talking about a handful of topics during reviews, mostly reasonable political stuff but also "feminist propaganda" https://archive.ph/A1s65
At first I was kind of skeptical whether it was real but now I'd lean towards "yes"
I assume the actual game is light on misogyny (if it features women much at all) but I'll just wait and see.
Sometimes monitoring the fandom that sticks around can be a fine indicator; I'll see if the chuds decide it's chud certified after all.
This was from a marketer distributing review copies iirc, not the devs or publisher
That would make sense.
