Guaranteed the word “woke” will be thrown around left and right

      This is Lemmy. You’re looking for reddit.

        Currently I split my time a bit on reddit and Lemmy, but at this point I don’t even bother with their gaming communities. Lemmy is miles better in that regard imo as far as discussions go.

      I haven’t seen a single complaint about Ciri being the protagonist of the next witcher game andI believe it’s because she isn’t a “let’s put a woman here for the quotas” type of character.

          Is it here, or on the internet as a whole? I have already seen a TON of vitriol in the trailer’s comments on YouTube. They’re loudly skreeeing woke, and DEI, and even the less insane ones are “so disappointed in CDPR.”

          EDIT - I spoke too soon, they’re even here in this very post.

            so disappointed in CDPR

            Did they play the third game? Do they remember how important Ciri was, how special her powers?

            I’m wagering most of them haven’t.

      Really? Can you share them? I saw the post on lemmy complaining about wanting male/female options, but there’s also this article with gems such as below.

      Even in the comments of that article though, is “DEI detected = Purchase rejected”.

      So the comments are out there, probably on reddit too, but they are there.

        That’s super reaching for straws. It’s a skin in a third party Battle Royale game. He couldn’t even bring himself to compare her to Ciri in Witcher 3.

      We’re a pretty happy bubble here, which is why I’m here
