This immediately shows how superficial and lazy this list is, cuz the list says Granblue is woke just because of Ladiva, completely missing Cagliostro, who is also trans.
@@jinsengtea6362she's the purest 'evil obsessive lesbian' trope so...I guess that counts as based? also I feel like wokeologists don't care about gay women or trans men
Ladiva has a male body, but identifies as a woman. Draph females all have tiny bodies while the males all have massive bodies (Narmaya and Vaseraga for example). Despite alchemy enabling people to completely change their bodies, Ladiva refuses to do that out of respect for the body her parents gave her.
I don't even know what they would say lol its like they had poison and it seemed like female representation in a beat em up but then they couldn't have you beating up women so they said its a man actually, but then they've not represented females I guess... This would probably just explode their brain lol
Poison isn't trans anymore. They untransed her specifically because of political correctness, so maybe he should have? P.S.: In truth, he should have just not done any of that. 😅
@@ZovcDrafts that's an urban legend. The concept art for the original Final Fight lists Poison as a "newhalf", which is a Japanese term for trans women.
I think the "overtly lgbtq+" messaging in sf6 is that marrisia is explicitly bi sexual in her story, and uhhhhj the battle hub guy is gay? Theres probably more in there but thats what I remember.

8:01 List has no input on enormous franchise, Super Smash Bros. List definitely wants you to know that 2015 game FutaDomWorld is too woke to recommend.
Mortal Kombat 1's entry is just a lie. I legit can't think of who they're even thinking about when they say "emmasculated", but the thing about nearly all characters in position of authority being female is not even true. Liu Kang and Shang Tsung are Elder Gods, Geras is the Keeper of Time itself, Sub-Zero is the grandmaster of the Lin Kuei, Scorpion founds the Shirai Ryu, Baraka is the leader of the Tarkatans, Shao is a General. Like, what are you on about?
You mean someone who'd spend time making a list of which games are too woke is also liable to just be extremely wrong about things, assuming they're not just outright lying? Who could've imagined...
They missed Cagliostro in Granblue Rising. She is not only a centuries old alchemist in an artificial body. She was a male alchemist genius that choose to have a female childish body for the sake of cuteness.
@@JasonDS64 Any female so physically strong that keeps up with males, especially females in a spotlight position, is a potentially feminist idea. Also there is that idea, influenced by anime, of the young kid/teen (but here let's limit to just girls) who is bizarrely strong. So designing a teen girl who can keep up with strong experienced male fighters can also be potentially feminist.
But "anti wokes" never dare picking on that stuff because of their nostalgia. It's like political purposes in Japanese media only started lately. But in fact those guys just were too young to interpret those details back then, and refuse to judge their childhood loves critically. I've found that behavior everywhere I go when that topic is brought up, in all communities, in different game genres.
I'm glad fighting games aren't woke. Imagine if the foundational, elementary, single fundamental title in which the entire genre bases itself was about something woke like diverse characters from all over the world competing together with martial arts from their respective cultures. Glad its nothing like that
The only thing that would be too “woke” (totally wrong use of the word still, but whatever) for me is installing SF7 just to realize that now i can only play as Chun Lorenzo, Carl White, John Han, etc. Aka pointless gender swap. But people getting pissed over pronouns is hilarious. It’s not like you’re forced to pick a certain option that’s not true about the character you’re making. Same for body type. Bruh, idk about him, but i can pretty easily still pick a body type that’s obviously belongs to a male or a female.
@@ilikestamps2978 I believe it's sadly still kind of popular with the average gamer. Although diaphone is here doing his part to change at least some of that.
I think most people prolly fall under the "I don't care one way or the other just don't shove it down my throat" category. I find some stuff cringe like Ladiva is basically what I'd do if you asked me to make a parody of this stuff but at the same time it takes no effort to just not care. Both extremes are cringe
People starrt rejecting shit if it means they have to give up good media like even if you ain't pro trans, thats not gonna be a reason why you don't buy Baldurs Gate 3
I think the SF6 "pro LGBTQ messaging" bit, has to do with some of the NPC's in the game like Eternity. Existing as a character is too much, I guess, lol.
Existing as a character definitely is too much as far as they're concerned. Just look at the outrage over the option to give your player character top surgery scars in Dragon Age 4 - even the *option* to exist as an LGBTQ character is triggering to them =(
@@nuncaooga UA-camrs? Not really Said that because i have some leftists friends and Brazilian leftists UA-camrs that use this term but you want them anyway i can say
In SF6 they let you use They/Them pronouns, which is pretty cool. I use em on my character, though mainly for the animations that are tied to them. It's just QoL to let people make what they want, these people are just crazy.
I was waiting for someone to talk about this. Its just ridiculous. It boggles my mind how some people are so bothered by anything foreign to them or just existing.
I can’t believe we didn’t see the signs before. Diaphone played Bridget, a trans character. It was right in front of us. He went woke, now he’s gonna go broke.
Calling SF6 woke for the character creation shows that the person making the chart didnt even get past character creation, because literally the first character you meet in the online lobby is super flamboyant/ lgbt-coded so i wouldn't expected that to be the reason or way labeled woke lol
Class of 09 is on this list, for portraying men negatively? Doesn't the story focus on High School girls selling drugs? EDIT: Also, Wolfenstein 2 rips, for anybody who wants to play a single player first person shooter. I'm assuming a lot of people are familiar, but just saying.
You know this spreadsheet is terrible when it doesn't focus on things that got actually censored through patches, like R. Mika's super getting censored in SFV, and various costumes suddenly having panties changed to biker shorts, etc.
I'm proud that fighting games are in the forefront on social issues! Even though the community doesn't always reflect that the developers know what's up! Especially arc sys
Fighting games are schroedinger's woke. They are woke, but not woke at the same time. It is mostly because there are so few western/American fighting game franchises. For example, if Guilty Gear was an American game *ALL* of Bridget's dialogue and special moves would be in reference to gender. But Arcsys did Bridget with almost zero mention of gender in game. Even arcade story mentions it only twice I think. Same with Cag & LaDiva in GBVS. LaDiva is over the top, but is obsessed with love, not gender. None of LaDiva's dialogue makes the trans identity the centerpiece of the character. And for Cag, if not for lore no would know at all. As far as MK1 being the only American fighter, while it currently lacks any clearly defined lgbtq characters the overall design of the female characters is definitely heavily masculine. That and the gender/species swapping of the cyborgs along with NRS/WB general leadership is pretty far into woke/DEI design territory.
Finally someone gets it. Woke isnt just LGBT existing. It's the idealogy constantly taking the forefront over storytelling/gameplay. Wokeism is an actual problem spreading in all facets of the entertainment industry right now with the constant censorships, removal of genders, uglifying female characters to appease the trans gaze, and more, but you got disingenous people from the left ridiculing it without actually understanding the real issue.
Yeah, SF6 is woke. The game where they replaced Asian Man Ryu, the flagship CAPCOM fighting character for 30 years, with a Blonde White American. Dont worry guys, I think CAPCOM gave as much thought to the virtue signalling as they did with the monetization.
Imo the reason why the listed games were labeled as woke is because if there is a hint of being trans, dei, etc. the woke community would celebrate and would call out others transphobic, etc if they have a different opinion about the characters in those games. This really wouldn't be a big deal to us gamers until the woke came in raising up their flag and pushing their agenda
The grandblue 1 is just a dude who idenfies as a woman. Which is just weird. Then again, I'm surprised no one talks about wizards who turn into his dead sister. Which is still the most kinda creepy thing I've heard for a character back story.
As someone who very much dislikes pandering, I'm just too old to give a shit anymore. I think some things like Ladiva are borderline parody but I can also just as easily not care because there's no benefit to caring
Perfectly normal guy making a perfectly normal spreadsheet.
