Barbie and Baldur's Gate 3 have undeniably progressive elements and are unstoppable money-making machines.

That needed to be explained? We needed an entire article to talk about how right-wing bullshit is... actually bullshit?

It's for people who do actually believe this nonsense. Not that they'll accept it.

Right, they won't read it. Why bother trying to "convince" them? They have years of practice playing trolls, and deflecting every argument that doesn't agree with their shitty worldview.

For those on a dangerous path, that have not yet arrived.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Not opposing them does less than nothing. They see lack of vocal opposition as agreement, so disagreeing with them means being proactive and vocal.

Nobody believes it, though. People and companies that say such stuff want an excuse to be bigots.

My character on Baldurs Gate 3 is named Kenough.

What’s hilarious/infuriating about this stuff is that when it’s done poorly, it falls over by itself.

Then it gets called out with cries of “go woke, go broke”, when in reality it’s closer to “make shit, get hit”.

I would certainly pay to see a Karlach/Barbie crossover.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago

Btw, great choice of icon for the link! Gotta love Karlach ❤️

So that is two, what else? Out of plethora of go woke go broke examples.

Lmao.

What's gone broke again

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 year ago

What HAS gone broke because of “wokeness”? Mario movie was woke, until it wasn’t. Street Fighter 6 was woke until it wasn’t. RE4 Remake was woke until it wasn’t. Then we have examples where things were bad without any “wokeness”, but right wingers latched on to that anyway, like Battlefield V (1 falls under “woke until it wasn’t”).

I like how you were asked for examples multiple times and then didn't provide them.

[–] FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Name even 3 of that plethora.
