Well I have had dreams of reading books. They’re weird. Like, I know it’s a dream and the sentences don’t make any sense. But I keep reading it anyways.

If a game is deemed "woke" by right-wing shitheads, that's like a seal of approval for me. Now, the game might still suck, but it's not because of being inclusive and diverse.

This is the first I've heard of this game being deemed woke.

Didn't you hear? Ciri is older and therefore ugly now. The worst offence that a designer could make for a female character.

It's a lot easier - if Americans don't like what Europeans are doing, then it's a great thing they're doing!

People are complaining of having to stare at a female's body while playing? They prefer looking at at male's butt? That's soooo gay!

I’m a straight male who is very secure in my masculinity. But I’ve gotten shit from people when I use female characters in games. Never understood why that’s a problem.

I usually play as a female character in games too. I prefer to look at pretty things.

Any person who unironically uses "woke" is a complete douche canoe and can go get fucked. Change my mind.

What ISN’T woke to conservatives/republicans anymore?

Please don’t answer that, I know the answer, but come on. Pick up a book.

Unpopular opinion:

Witcher 4 won’t be as good as Witcher 3 cause the third one was very good.

So no matter who they chose, it’s probably gonna be underwhelming.

Nah, if the next Witcher MC was Dandelion, that would absolutely be the best one.

I'm sorry, but I still can't help but laugh about the anti-woke Asterion flat-butt mod, and now in my head I just see all anti-woke gamers as jealous flat-butters.

How in the heck would Ciri not be the main character after the events of Witcher 3? Did anyone actually think she wouldn’t be?
