Exposing the Grift: Go Woke Go Broke

Flower2dPeople said:
Maybe writers were more concerned about the ethnicity ratio on the show than actual writing. Like one of those games that got cancelled quickly and people defended that it wasn't woke, it was just plain terrible. Well, no shit. Game developers just made a diverse game and called it a day. Why can't people attach wokeness as being terrible?

It's disingenuous to pretend that woke ideals don't contribute to the lack of quality of many of these projects

The 2 things are not completely unrelated.

Just wanna highlight Andy Capp also being dumb and liking this post because it matches his political ideology despite the fact the guy has picked a product that appears to be doing very poorly according to available reports (with the company hiding data on sales).

Another example, like we have with the guys in the Palestine terrorists thread, don't go liking posts where people on "your team" said bad things about the "other side" just because they share your political views. Maybe check the info and point they have made is valid and they haven't made a clown of themselves. Otherwise your clapping seal likes sees you join them in the clown show.

Because the country isn't mostly white, hasn't been in many years, and most newer forms of entertainment are not "segregated" the way older IPs were. It's a terrible look. They're either going to change it to pander to minorities to make more money, or they're going to change it so they don't get called racist when they make a show in 2024 where everyone is white except the villains.

When have villains ever been disproportionately non-white? This is a claim that doesn't seem to have any basis at all.

Dragon Age The Veilguard Head Won’t Reveal Sales Numbers Of Game​

It did look like an okay launch, considering the budget, at least enough to break even like Jedi Survivor, but the recent development that they won't even share sales figures bodes poorly for its business. Here's more about that from just a few weeks after launch. Leaked internal memos indicate they know sales are bad, and the numbers are causing panic.

BioWare Claims 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard' Sales Have Reached 1 Million Copies as Company Hunts Down Whistleblowers

Dragon Age: The Veilguard sales have reached 1 million copies, according to BioWare. However, this might not be good news for the developer.

It probably makes sense to compare sales to previous installments. It's a big IP so obviously it's going to sell decently regardless. Inquisition apparently sold over 12 million copies.
 
A lot of the same people who defend this woke shit in video games would lose their minds if in every piece of media the right tried to shoehorn in Christianity. You know how I know? Because they did in the past and it was annoying as fuck and everyone on the left complained about it and quickly changed it once they got power. Keep your pseudo-religion away from things that it doesn't need to be in.

If only the hyperprogs could make movies as good as Ben Hur, or Demille's filmography...

lol @ the irony. I give zero fucks about video games or how well they sell regardless of the reason.

Sorry. Your troll has failed. Please hang up and try your troll again.

There was no troll.

You liked a retarded post just because the retarded post shares the same political views as you.

Maybe next time see if the post has any merit rather than just liking every post that comes from the same ideology as you.

I don't like every post on this forum just because the person's politics are right of centre like mine. If they are typing nonsense I don't assign myself to that nonsense by clapping along like a retarded seal.

Maybe a lesson for you not to do that next time.
 


Mack will no doubt be chalking this one up as another "win" regardless of how it goes

Deviante will of course already have seen this latest video by "William" having been his biggest fan for years.
 
I don't know if this is relevant to this thread but I was briefly seeing this woman who was a woke social justice warrior type. We were talking about movies and she made the claim that the media was pushing Ryan Gosling as a attractive male lead because he's white. Thought that was a dumb take. I'm a straight man but Gosling is a good looking dude and most actors have to be decently good looking to get into hollywood at all. All the chicks claiming Gosling isn't good looking would probably wet themselves if he (or almost any hollywood star for that matter) showed up in front of them.

She'd probably get on well with a few of the lunatics in this thread
 
Thread should be renamed Exposing the grift that inserting woke ideologies isn't having a massively negative effect on the quality of entertainment
