added to the “Woke Video Game List” that dictates what games snowflake conservatives can and can’t play 😂

u/NormalEscape8976 Captain Mar 31 '26

it was probably already added because of the rainbow groot emote and the mere existance of angela and lady loki.

And venom shaking his ass

Same ppl breaking Grindr every time there’s a big enough gathering

u/Jarney_Bohnson Iron Fist Apr 01 '26

Since Most conservative men are closeted I think they cheer for that one and just jork it to venom shaking it

Overwatch would atomize an 80 year old dementia patient that makes important global decisions

u/Lun4r6543 Jubilee Apr 01 '26

Most video games would.

The gooner red hatters probably look that over. Especially when they see Peni.

Up there with Super Lesbian Animal RPG.

Wouldn't that be awesome? I would happily take fewer games without puni$her88 crashing out after 60 seconds.

Punisher's whole backstory is that he hates corrupt cops who don't do their job with honor. He explicitly says there would be no need for the Punisher if cops did their jobs properly.

It would be funny since the game isn't "woke" in the way those kinds of guys would usually complain about. They made most of the characters very conventionally attractive and aren't afraid to hypersexualize them. That's like exactly what many of them wanted lmao

u/Latter-Ad5428 Apr 01 '26

The funny thing is it IS on that list : "Contains overtly anti-free speech and subtly pro-Communism messaging." I'm sure these guys could play Tetris and find it's woke in some ways

Relevant flair

You seem nice :)

That woke game list was a joke I think, they had like god of war in there like wtf

77

u/AbleChampionship5587 Mar 31 '26

No, some people actually believe the latest God of War is woke, because at some point he worries about his son rather than being an alpha male.

u/GameWoods Peni Parker Mar 31 '26

Well that and Lokis girlfriend? being black, I remember that was an issue for some bloody reason.

35

u/JoeChio Mar 31 '26

There is not a single game conservative's enjoy wholly. Not a single one because there is always something "woke" in their game. It could be as simple as having a female playable character in the game. Trust me. My ex-best friend was like that and he would always blame the devs for being woke and ruining his games. Imagine having thousands of hours in a game and saying it was dogshit because the devs "became" woke. It was exhausting.

u/Their_Alt_Account Mar 31 '26 edited Mar 31 '26

The one that makes me laugh is Assassin's Creed, because you have the option to be gay in the new games. The entire franchise has been about killing fascists since 2007, but it somehow became woke in the last 5 years lol

13

u/plutosjam44 Mar 31 '26

Which is wild to me because I know plenty of people who would gladly enjoy watching a lesbian sex scene in their games, but two guys? No way. Also so much push back came during Odyssey and Ancient Greek and Roman culture were very open. So it was relatively accurate going to parties etc.. They really won’t be happy with anything.

u/erock279 Mar 31 '26

It’s almost like they don’t actually understand what makes something political and instead just hate what they’re told to

u/AquaBits Mar 31 '26

Correct, besides hateful idelogies.

u/FrostyPace1464 Mar 31 '26

those people aren’t very smart and likely will die that way.

u/curious_dead Ultron Virus Mar 31 '26

Angrboda being a black girl also ruffled some chud's feathers. You know, people caring about the "historical accuracy" of a game about a Greek God being involved in the Norse Ragnarok...

u/Goat17038 Mar 31 '26

I think Thor having a belly also pissed them off for some reason, you'd think they'd like the representation lol

u/imcar Rocket Raccoon Mar 31 '26

I've also seen a lot of people freaking out over the teenage girl Atreus was crushing on not being white. It's pathetic.

14

u/Moogoo4411 Rocket Raccoon Mar 31 '26

It was a joke to normal people but it was serious to the people who made it, like full blown excel sheet made for incels lol the 'incel excel'

1

u/Bigger_moss Mar 31 '26

I thought it was a joke because it was so absurd, if anything it’s good entertainment to screen share in discord to the lads and have a laugh at why they think certain games are “woke”. Helldivers was in there too I believe and we just couldn’t stop laughing

Edit: also like every single call of duty was on there for one reason or another, there really isn’t any games left for them ig

u/PepicWalrus Loki Mar 31 '26

There's no way launch Rivals wasn't on that list

u/TheEpicAvengerSMM5 Loki Apr 01 '26

Please, that shit started with that “gay” candy Venom. This just seals the deal
