Avowed character creation has pronouns - Elon Musk disapproves, Obsidian art director disapproves of his disapproval

[Cryomancer]

Pillars 2 and Outer Worlds were already woke

Outer Worlds I didn't played. But Pillows 2, you can literally buy Slaves. No pronouns, Male and Female character options, "Africans" and "Europeans" looking humans are considered different SUB races of humans in game. Pillows has its problems, but is nothing like Forspoken or Dustborn

Come second week after the release, there's going to be a mod that does away with the pronouns. Within days, they're going to delete it from Mod Nexus, allegedly for violating rights of the absolute minority those who are so loud (figuratively speaking) that they manage to overshadow the majority of people in general (and definitely should have their rights diminished, behaving like that).
And all will be well in the lands of clunky-combat-and-classes-impoverished Eora.

That's actually good, knowing how incompetent Obsidian is, if they really tried to make a woke game, there is a high possibility they made it based on accident.

"Hmm, how do I make Elon mad...? Oh yeah, I should make my game as plain and boring as possible!''
Absolute madman, you can now blame Elon for the absolute state of Obsidian.

Hilarious the amount of damage a self righteous developer can cause to their game because of mental illness.

How did we even come to devs openly saying "I want to shit on my potential customers so badly"

 

[A-Minish]

Should we be impressed ? Veilguard exists after all, the bar for Ultra-woke is now pretty high.

If they achieve to make the setting even more subversif for whatever tribalistic reasons, then I do not know whether I shoud pity Sawyer or laugh at him. He must know, somehow, somewhere, in the deep recess of his soul, that his creation is probably getting raped and that he probably can not do much to stop it.

Now my morbid curiosity is aroused and I am expecting an enjoyable dumpster fire.

Veilguard sequel coming so soon?

 

[Yoomazir]

Doesn't matter if it's woke or not, have you seen the price, who's gonna buy it?

It's funny that he's getting roasted for this take even on Bluesky's comments.

Maybe that Safe Space™ is not working out so well after all.

Pouring gasoline on fire and wading into a culture war is a bold strategy for Obsidian. It worked out so well for Veilguard.

 

[Vyvian]

Obsidian developer crowing about Avowed being "woke" to piss off gamer chuds? Kinda funny considering Veilguard just came out and is the undisputed champion of bullshit.
Classic Obsidian, always a day late and a dollar short. Second best even when they try to be woke.

I'm always amazed by their inability to stop posting.

Believe what you must but for goddess' sake have enough professional insight to know that publicly posting something polarising could damage the brand and attract further attention from e-thots like Kern or Musk.

No, it isn't. We're not doing the Overton Window with "woke" degeneracy and ugliness. If we do, you will be accepting pedophilia in games in a few years.

Have you seen Bluesky? There's a huge push to normalize pedophilia over there, they are open about it. That is their goal, to normalize it.

Pay no attention to the fact that all the liberals ran away from Twitter and went to Bluesky, the increase in pedophilia over there is pure coincidence.

 

[Tyranicon]

When you make codex devs look sane.

 

[Remain Nameless]

Funnily, I bet there would be a lot of the typical "the game isn't really woke, you're just imagining things chud" from the usual suspects near release, but the director just had to boast that it is and ruin the strategy.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Weird.. there's no source for this other than Fandompulse and it even includes a fake tweet from Elon..
