How is that woke? Even the steam forums generally agree it isn't woke and that already says a lot.
Same. I hate censorship in general and the ENDLESS TRASH Disney or Netflix or Amazon keep pumping out to satisfy their greed.I'm not type of person who calls everything little thing "woke" but western entertainment media are absolutely suffering from whole political correctness…..especially Disney movies, they are now insufferable.
Basically where I'm at. Depending on the situation, it doesn't bug me. But it all depends on what it is and its extent. Personally I've yet to experience anything that took me aback so much that it affected how I felt about the game, made me stop, etc. I don't think it'd ever get to that point, but I'm also not searching for those things. I just want games I'm excited about and are fun to play. There have just been a number of games where it's clear what's going on, and majority of the time those games clearly aren't for me. Dustborn, and that one Greek God game (Not Hades 1/2, it's some indie game, I don't remember the name) are just a couple of those examples.Yeah, definitely. I like the idea of social justice in theory, but not to the point it sanitizes plot or character nuance.
some west games are not woke but a lot are.So why was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 so well received?
But with far more performance issues.Today's reminder if you're tired of Western AAAA woke slop, Japan is making amazing video games these days and you should play them

Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii says political correctness has made western games ‘terrible’
In a recent interview, legendary anime film director Mamoru Oshii called out "political correctness" saying that he has a "strong aversion" to it in his work. Oshii is famous for his work throughout…nichegamer.com
My apologies in advance if this is deemed political, mods can then feel free to remove the thread.
For those that don't want to read the article. This is a snippet of what he said:
Because it's made by ex-devs that probably left due that shit.So why was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 so well received?
Because while all woke games are Western, not all Western games are wokeSo why was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 so well received?
Oshii: Political correctness started from the idea of giving legitimacy to the socially weak. There is nothing wrong with that. In a mature society, it is a natural responsibility. However, the problem is that it has taken that as its starting point and made the socially weak into the strong.
Oshii: They were given priority in getting into school, and priority in finding a job. What's more, the companies that advised them charged them ridiculous amounts in consulting fees. Game companies ask for hundreds of millions of yen from them.
Because it's a Western game pretending to be an Eastern one (JRPG) by a dev who is not ideologically captured by the woke mind virus.
Exceptions to the rule don't disprove the rule.
Are you implying the game is woke? Can you explain your position instead baiting people with shit posts?

He didn't challenge it. He posted a gif.They are responding to "Exceptions to the rule don't disprove the rule.", depending on the context, that statement can be challenged.

It was pretty self-explanatory.
Oshii is speaking broadly about a subset of Western games that are heavily influenced by political correctness, he isn't condemning all Western games.Exactly! People are acting as if games like Helldivers 2 doesn't exist. It just came out a year ago and became Playstation's fastest selling game in history. From a Western developer! But I guess we have to ignore that though.

Western games are really terrible, political correctness
That sentence is fragmented, but he is attributing the decline to political correctness. Not every game is designed to be politically correct.But he said this in the interview............
So, it sounds like he is condemning all Western games.
There are two kinds of western games: European-made and American-madeSo why was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 so well received?

Like, I get that it appears as if he is generalising Western games, but he's core point is an observation about political correctness and its influence on Western games. He is lamenting it from the perspective of an artist. He's entitled to that as was Jonathan Blow. Even though I strongly disagree with what Blow said (if we're talking about that same conference where a Japanese guy came up to the mic to ask a question), he formed an opinion on Japanese game design which he didn't like. Both are making subjective critiques.I even hate the idea that he (I'm not taking away anything he's added to culture or any of his content in any way) should be the governor of the quality of Western games. Pretty presumptuous of him.
When Jonathan Blow did the same awful thing to Eastern devs, I thought it was foul too. And Blow was wrong about Japanese devs.
It is factual that the majority of the american productions made in the last couple of years were constantly throwing the same patterned topics in everyone's face to the verge of exhaustion, fortunately enough this trend is slowly fading out for the betterSee how this starts to get tricky?
Calm down cowboy.![]()
Inb4 people that don't know fuck all about Mamoru Oshii, the purple syphillis, start flinging their macrobiotic shit against him. Or if they know about him, melting their dry brain through their ears trying to pin something on him.
It will be very funny to see them try burn him at the stake, the OG that took lubricated lesbian Motoko Kusanagi and her story and made her a flagbearer of transhumanism in the most beautiful way possible.![]()
Didn't you witness the 360/PS3 era? They already did that and it failed.Don't care about most western devs nowadays. I just hope the japanese keep their identity and don't get too westernized in the years to come.
That was Phil Fish btw, not Jon Blow.Like, I get that it appears as if he is generalising Western games, but he's core point is an observation about political correctness and its influence on Western games.
