But is it hard gay?

the game will blast living la viva loca nonstop LMAO

 

[Kacho]

so why is he being believed like this?

The entertainment industry as a whole created the monster you’re seeing here.

 

[diffusionx]

If someone told you, several years ago, that Disney would come out with a Star Wars show that is "very female power oriented" with "lots of mysticism", "lesbian relationships", "very little masculine presence", and "witch covens", would you have believed them?

 

[AW_CL]

This worthless piece of shit is the source. The dude who posted this is literally a known liar all he does is post fake shit.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

But is it hard gay?

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo

Fucking legend Hado Gay Sumitani

 

[midnightAI]

Endymion again? not more of his 'insider' nonsense, he seems to have an insider at every dev studio somehow (he doesnt, its all bs)

I don’t think that this report is implausible at all. I just don’t trust the source.

 

[Hypereides]

That doesn’t mean anything. He has never been considered a reliable source. He needs to earn that and probably never will because he peddles bullshit.

I dunno, man. I don't really follow his content, but there seems to be a beginning trend of insiders approaching/reaching out to Youtubers now instead since the gaming media themselves have become unreliable and untrustworthy.

Lmao. Please don't tell me that this troglodyte is another one of the room temperature IQ Twittergrifter 50 year old virgins, led by their supreme leader virgin, Grummz?

 

[cireza]

DOA

Depending on the character design this can be the best game ever.

This dude was saying his sources told him Yasuke was being pulled from Shadows and that turned out to be a load of hogwash.

There are people who deserve the benefit of the doubt. He ain’t one of them.

 

[ssringo]

Even if it's true, it being more of the same shit, different skin gameplay would bother me far more.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

DOA

Female power is gay? Is DOA? What kind of incel shit is this?

 

[strike670]

More antiwoke garbage being espoused by social media grifters. People need to learn how to better verify the information they consume before spreading it.

Relax, mate. If you feel that way, then that's fine. Eventually we'll see the outcome of this.

I am relaxed. This isn’t about how I feel, I’m stating facts.

 

[Astray]

The entertainment industry as a whole created the monster you’re seeing here.

It's the extreme opacity and lack of real communication between devs and players that led us to this.

Relax, mate. If you feel that way, then that's fine. Eventually we'll see the outcome of this.

We've seen the outcome of his retardation before.

If this was Jason Schreier or Shinobi we would never hear the end of it, but it's a prized "anti-woke" prophet so he gets the benefit of the doubt instead.

"Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results"

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I can get behind that (if witches hot) I remember some spicy Witches movies

 

[Complistic]

It's ubisoft, they're not gonna be hot.

Also this source seems bad.

 

[K' Dash]

That story is from a year ago, I would believe that they’re rolling back whatever forced diversity is there.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Lesbians hmmm? No issue from my side

 

[ResilientBanana]

They've learned nothing. May as well just burn the money

 

[Sausy1987]

Wokeness is dying in a sea of bankruptcy .

 

[Gojiira]

Sure witch covens are inherently gay anyway, now if they make the coven and MC hot then cool…But its Ubi, and of course they’ll all be man-jawed,butch and fighting the patriarchy and injustice. Yawn. Just make them hot lesbian witches and leave it at that ffs

 

[MetalFreak]

 

[NickFire]

Endymion exaggerates, but I don't have much trouble believing the basics. If the setting is the witch trials, it will naturally be a female-centric game, and it will be ripe for feminist messaging about how men are bad and women are wonderful. I mean, it's almost predictable. And it's Ubisoft, so I don't find it hard to believe at all.

I bet they could right the ship with this setting. Make the main character visually pleasing. And focus on the dangers of blindly adhering to claims just to avoid being ostracized (cancelled, etc.).

There are some overlapping themes between the witch trials and the cancel culture that helped lead the gaming industry into multiple flops that cost in excess of 100 million dollars. Obviously the end result of the witch trials was far more severe and devastating to the people in the mob's targets. Both are still examples that support the age old proposition that we shouldn't jump off a bridge just because our friends wanted to.

Endymion again? not more of his 'insider' nonsense, he seems to have an insider at every dev studio somehow (he doesnt, its all bs)

At this point it doesnt matter. If people here are falling for the grift and giving him more views and clicks, he deserves every cent.

Taking advantage of gamers' negativity might be the easiest youtuber money glitch of this decade. People like him can't even face criticism because people will just say you're displaying toxic positivity. The grift has no weaknesses

 

[Starhowl]

Awesome, can't wait!!!

 

[clintar]

What's with all the lesbian witch stuff in media lately?

 

[ComputerBlue]

It’s like watching Disney double down over the years, at the end of the day I really don’t give a fuck which of these companies go down since I have no emotional attachment to any of them since they are just things. So fuck it, let them destroy themselves.

 

[SJRB]

LET'S GOOOOO

 

[Arachnid]

You guys support the game to be progressive

I support the game for tons of lesbian sex

We are not the same

 

[DrDryRub]

What's the problem exactly if any of the characters were gay? Do you feel you wouldn't be manly for enjoying a game with a gay character?. I don't see the problem with it. If the game is good,plays well and has a decent story then what's the issue

 

[Mr Netori]

Crap, bought the 9 euro stocks too soon

 

[BoxFresh123]

Hidden blade like........

 

[StreetsofBeige]

"Jennifer, please infiltrate the guard tower and retrieve our family heirloom!"

"Ok, but after I have a dinner date with Susan. Your entire family is invited too."

"What does that have to do with fetching the treasure? I hired you to get it asap."

"It has nothing to do with it. My green haired honey and I just want to jam in your face to make sure everyone in town knows were lesbos."

 

[Ogbert]

That’ll help the share price lads.

 

[makaveli60]

I had some faith in this because I knew Shadows will be terrible because it’s the same team that created Odyssey, seems I shouldn’t expect anything from this either. And I loved this franchise. Oh well

 

[geary]

Is there a way the mods can have a say on the topics created with news....FFS, we very close to make a thread about what the cleaning lady from the restaurant across the street of a contractor for a developer...

 

[captainpat]

The source is shit but a lot of current day media about witches tends to have a lot of queer stuff.

 

[Trunx81]

How did they manage to destroy lesbians for us? This is the worst timeline.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

The source is shit but a lot of current day media about witches tends to have a lot of queer stuff.

Is there something fundamentally wrong with including ”queer stuff,” though?

 

[TheRedRiders]

My favourite kind of gay magic - LESBOMANCY - Hahahaha!

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I mean, if the RE8 chicks were lesbians (and not related), I wouldn't be complaining.

Now if it's "call me ma'am" lesbians with "feminine penises" then . . .

Spoiler

I'll preorder the $120 version

This post is a good demonstration what is wrong with woke shit. It’s this, not that a character is gay.

 

[lmimmfn]

Ughhh sick of this shit, I have no problems with a game where the protagonist is a lesbian but most of the devs pushing this will have been hired to meet inclusive targets and therefore it'll be shit.
Separately any males portrayed will be soy boy idiots.

Good luck Ubi, you'll need it.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

This post is a good demonstration what is wrong with woke shit. It’s this, not that a character is gay.

So… the real problems are grossly exaggerated descriptions of events that never actually happens, amplified for dramatic conversational effect? Got it.

Y’all are fighting windmills. And you even go as far as to use verifiable bullshitters as sources to stoke the flames under your own asses.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I'm completely ok with girl on girl, plus it doesn't seem that odd with the witches coven theme

but I feel like setting an AssCreed game in Salem is a bit jumping the shark?

All the mythological stuff and playing as a literal demi-god wasn't?
Also HEXE doesn't take place in Salem, there's more places in the world where there were witch trials, this one is in germany
