Is it? The current topic of discussion is age of consent.That’s a brain dead take.

Just so I can keep track:
2014: We're ok with some misogyny
2024: We're ok with some misogyny, sexism, racism, AND *checks notes* pedophilia

Nailed it. People are trying to shut down discussion for two reasons:The time has passed that we can ignore this shit. All we have to do is spread the simple truth across the Internet and we will win every single time.
For those mad at us for not liking the game, you can spread your truth too, that was always allowed.

Age of consent in many countries is 16.
What? It was a mediocre to bad game depending who you ask with horrendous character designs so no one gave it a chance.But I thought Concord was genuinely a bad game? Please, stay true to your narrative.
You don't get to dictate what's good and what's not, but keep trying.
What's the big deal if it's legal and both parties consent? Who are you getting mad on the behalf of exactly? The hypothetical dads?
The problem is western devs seem to strugle finding a balance. Most games used to be just the generic dude bro, then it started a push to make more female characters, then another push came from tourists femenists to not make the female characters cater to the male gaze, and now instead of having a balanced mix between male, female sexy, and normal female, masculine female, etc, all we getting is masculine female characters, that play like a male character but the devs are forced to make it a female instead cuz the only way they know how to proitrait a strong women is by making her look like a strong dude.Yea, I like most if not all of the games listed. Hell, you probably won't anyone else in this site that loves horizon zero dawn as much as me. My "issue" isnt necessarily the games are bad, but it's a trend for better or for worse. When things feel forced or needing to be in the game, it's doesn't feel as authentic or creative. I would have the same complaint if every single game had a dude bro male protagonist.

Hyperbolic much? Death Stranding 2, God of War Ragnarok, Lost Soul Aside, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, The Last of Us Part I, Horizon VR, Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 and Miles Morales versus Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Yotei, Intergalactic, Returnal, Stellar Blade and I guess R&C as well.All Sony games this Gen have only "female" protagonists.
It's legal and they're both consenting adults in the situation. I'm really not seeing the issue here. So some dads would get mad at the choice their adult daughter made? That's what's making you angry? What if the mom is okay with it, would that make it better for you? lmaoYOU’RE the hypothetical dad. I made that abundantly clear. Don’t act like you would be chill in that scenario.
You don't even know what pedophilia is based on your post.
You probably also call people Nazis when they disagree with you.
Or lower (15).
Dude, a 18 y/o isn't a minor, nor a child.I'm sorry, do you pedophiles like to call it these days? I'm not up to date on your woke verbiage. Is it "looks like a minor but isn'tminor attracted"?

There is a reason you never discuss religion and politics at a family gathering.I don't understand the people who go Naughty Dog! Auto buy! I won't even auto-buy From Soft games, and I love their games. No company is immune to putting out a shit game.
The time has passed that we can ignore this shit. All we have to do is spread the simple truth across the Internet and we will win every single time.

2k posts already about a woman with a shaved head? Guys we need to touch grass, this ain't healthy
You still have time to say you were only pretending to be retarded.I'm sorry, do you pedophiles like to call it these days? I'm not up to date on your woke verbiage. Is it "looks like a minor but isn'tminor attracted"?
They have no problem conscripting and recruiting 18 year old men for war, trialing an 18 year old as adult, letting an 18 year old vote on the fate of the country but apparently an 18 year is supposed to be a child when it comes to choosing a sex partner. Selective empowerment wanting to be allowed to throw away all agency and play the victim when beneficial.

You do realize when this game launches the pushback will just …..crumble right? This “movement” (if you can even call it that) will have no impact on the enjoyment of this game.Nailed it. People are trying to shut down discussion for two reasons:
1. It’s politically inconvenient to them
2. They don’t want to see their favorite games suffer
Time to accept that the pushback against wokeness in games has reached critical mass. There’s no escaping it no matter where you go.
You still have time to say you were only pretending to be retarded.
America isn't the whole world you know.READ PETE’S POST, FOR FUCKS SAKE! He said “just came of age”. Like one was counting down the days or some shit. It sounded fucking creepy.
Geezus, reading comprehension issues up in this fucking place.
“Selective empowerment”. Hey, smart guy, not all rights are obtained when you become 18. Like alcohol consumption. Or being eligible for President. And so forth. So spare me the limp dick of a whataboutism you just threw at me and actually learn American law if you’re going to try to act like the smartest guy in the room when in reality you don’t magically become eligible for everything when you turn 18.
Also, actually read all the posts in a conversation to gain full context, if you can spare your precious time.
Also, way to assume. An older woman doing the same shit to a boy who just turned 18 would be equally creepy in my book. So this had nothing to do with “empowerment”, so fucking fail on your part.
America isn't the whole world you know.
Its going to be Dragon Age Veilguard
I'm not understanding the controversy; is it because it's led by a woman, because she's a person of color, or because of listening to The Pet Shop Boys?
Is this what ppl call projection?Just so I can keep track:

Nope, and nope, fk dating old hags.
Hey man, just because they just become “legal”, doesn’t stop making what you just said creepy as SHIT.
You want to rephrase that bit? And if not, Geezus, I hope you’re like 22, 23 at the oldest.
Once we have our desirability scores, we can use them to identify characteristics of desirable users by comparing scores against various user attributes. As shown in Fig. 2, for instance, average desirability varies with age for both men and women, although it varies more strongly for women, and the effects run in opposite directions: Older women are less desirable, while older men are more so (18, 19). For women, this pattern holds over the full range of ages on the site: The average woman’s desirability drops from the time she is 18 until she is 60. For men, desirability peaks around 50 and then declines.
I still don't get your point, sorry man.
You fucking know what he was talking about with all that 18 shit. Don’t try to act dumb.
He's just another looney lefty.Is this what ppl call projection?
No. I forgot what it was,but I think it was some kind of survey or focus group where they show the demographics of the PS5 or 4 and there was commentary about growing the female portion of the PlayStation users.Ehh I think wokeness is too overboard on this site. If it's not a white male protagonist or a chick with a huge rack, the character is considered woke in here to a majority of people lol.
But this is a trend for Sony games, not really debatable. The horizon series, TLoU2 and now this from ND, returnal, and the new Ghost game. Even a game like concord had a heavy majority of the characters as female. Fairgame$, if I'm not mistaken too showed a female character for a majority of the reveal trailer. Not to mention in both SM2 and R&C you play as female characters too, even if they aren't the main characters. Its definitely noticable and personally I don't care too much. But it feels like at times it's being forced, as if that need to add female playable character off a checkbox before a game gets released.
I'll judge a game off it's off merit. I'm not gonna overreact like a lot in this thread and assume it's woke off the bat. It could turn out to be a kick ass character and game overall for all we know. We still know so little about intergalactic I think for anyone to make too strong and assumption. But it has been a trend for Sony overall, and I think it's fair to notice and criticize them for that, even a little bit.
She had hair that wasn’t blue so…Props for the Lindsay Wagner gif
Ironically, today the Bionic Woman would be considered "woke"
I still don't get your point, sorry man.
18 is fine tho.
Character designs are subjective, and gamers always agreed that fun was the most important.What? It was a mediocre to bad game depending who you ask with horrendous character designs so no one gave it a chance.
You are aware of what happened right?
Its going to be Dragon Age Veilguard
Are people so delusional that they think this game is like Concord?Concord devs loved it too, based on their Tweets on release date.
I wonder how they're doing now
The only thing tiring is doing this same schtick with every single gameAh yes the kneejerk gaslighting response to anything someone dare criticize against this disgusting oh so tiring western dev agenda
