    If the writing sucks, then talk about how the writing sucks. If I see someone crying “woke bs” without backing anything up I’m going to automatically assume that person is a bigoted moron.

      As soon as someone calls something “woke”, I know immediately to ignore whatever they’re saying, they’re almost surely incapable of proper critical thinking. If they could form an actual critical opinion they’d be talking about that instead of using a generic political term that equates to “anything I don’t like or understand”.

      I think most people lack that level of self awareness.

      I think if the most interesting thing about the game is how woke it is, thats a really bad sign.

      Consider Cyberpunk 2077 as an example, there was a hot minute where people were getting their transphobic panties in a bunch over the hermaphroditic ingame advertisements, but There was so much MORE to talk about in cyberpunk 2077 that it wasn’t the only discussion about the game (even before it launched).

      If I see someone crying “woke bs” without backing anything up I’m going to automatically assume that person is a bigoted moron.

      If I see someone downvoting thoughtful comments I’m going to automatically assume that person is a closed minded moron.

          I’m happy to talk with people about difficult or sensitive subjects, but throwing around downvotes doesn’t encourage good dialog.

            The subject isnt sensitive when some refers to wokeness.

            Its the little bitch that cant handle reality that is sensitive imo.

            Homie, you want to talk to 16 strangers disagreeing with you? O.o

            Be glad that most people just vote and don’t comment.

              i want lemmy to be a constructive place where people are not chased away. The habit of the downvote culture here is not helping lemmy grow.

                Don’t post stupid shit and you won’t get downvoted, it’s simple

                Engagement is engagement, if you don’t like that your opinions aren’t agreed with: tough titties, learn to deal with it or stop posting

                  Your position implies that only people you agree with are able to have a civil discussion, and it’s impossible to discuss anything that there is any disagreement on.

                  These attitudes slow the growth of lemmy.

                    Nope, you can have civil conversation AND downvote someone, I do it all the time

                    Not with you, though, cuz you get butthurt when the number isn’t positive. That’s a you problem, turn off votes if you can’t handle them

            Most of Lemmy is far left and very sensitive. You’d have a better time having a meaningful discussion on /r/Politics than here.

        Your comments are not thoughtful. They’re the same dull BS that we’ve all heard hundreds of times before. Much like the creators of the “woke” games you’re decrying, you’re trying to write something interesting and simply failing. Perhaps you should empathize with them instead.
