I've had a friend tell me that her stream group (and her) or whatever was happy to see these woke games die. I'm only looking at this superficially but what about this game is woke? I just thought it was shit.
Character design, at first look. Some original concept art was ignored or altered for reasons of inclusivity. For some reason "inclusivity" means making characters ugly, fat, and unappealing.
Essentially, from appearance, it seems someone in their D.E.I. department wanted to force a subversion of beauty standards (and believability) down everyone's throats. Top that off with it being Yet Another Live Service Hero Shooter, and you have the majority of the gaming community taking one look at it... And then looking the other way. With a lot of others making fun of it.
For those who did bought it there seemed to be a completely pointless pronoun element to the game, and people are getting seriously sick and tired of seeing identity politics in everything.
You mean this?
This doesn't have diddly to do with inclusivity. You're just laser focusing on the lipstick as the source of everything and somehow connecting a woman wearing lipstick to inclusivity. I guess it's because incels think a woman's makeup shouldn't be visible? The original is exactly as inclusive as the new version. The reason the new one sucks, is because they hired crap animators and probably gave them no time to do their jobs and hardly any pay.
Some internet person created this redesign and it's exactly as inclusive as the ingame version, while also being cool.
And here's a redesign where they made a character look less like a straight cisgender human, and it slaps! Diversity is awesome, I want more lizard cowboys.
