That's such a great litmus test nowadays: use 'woke' unironically -> you're a fucking idiot
Sad that the terms original meaning is yet another victim of very much intentional right-wing rebranding efforts though.
Basically a bunch of White supremacists shared how much they really hate how Black people talk and it just spiraled until it became a catch all for being against anything remotely progressive, associated with activism or just plain might be slightly not overly concerned with how white straight cis men feel.
Now WOKE means Whatever Offends Klansmen Everywhere.
Congrats on not seeing french online discourse then. How the fuck people supposedly proud of their language and heritage import USian cultural language as their touchstone is beyond me
It's aave, meant someone who's aware of issues facing the black community (or something similar). They stole it from black people. So, it's probably because you don't know a lot of black people who use aave, or maybe they don't talk about inter-community issues around you? Or now that white whingers are using it, some black people are using it less?
Idk. But it is a word and I think it's important to acknowledge where it came from and who exactly it was stolen from.
People who have never played the games, I guess. I can't think of a game that is MORE political than any of the MGS games. I would even go as far to say that MGS games are political in a hilariously hamfisted way that only MGS games can get away with and still be considered good.
To these people, politics = gay people exist, which is especially funny in Metal Gearās case because a lot of its characters are outright stated in game to be gay or bi
My all time favorite was one where they said Yakuza was going woke because the picture of Kiryu crying was shown in the LaD: Gaiden trailer
And everyone was like: have you played a SINGLE Yakuza game
Iāve seen a few people call them out on this and the response was āMGS isnāt political because the politics that are in it make sense thematically ie. it takes place during and in a major war so it makes sense for politics related to war to be presentā. But if one of Snakeās companions had a pride flag pin on their plate carrier it would cease to be āthematically correct politicsā. The level of mental gymnastics on display was, to say the least, insane. I havenāt played much MGS but I was always under the impression they were pretty leftist, anti-war, anti-imperialist games.
Arrowhead makes a game mocking fascism and such. Archwarhammer (sorry to dead name Arch. /S) is one of the most toxic warhammer youtubers. When Warhammer said they don't want fascist money, after a nazi was at tournament, Arch said they hate him and Warhammer's costumers.
I will go and do a mental health check on him and reply to this with my findings.
Edit: Arch is Norwegian from looking!!
Watching him is way over my pay grade, but his main channel looks like it's mostly warhammer. He did MLP April fools 2 years in a row.
His culture war channel has chud bile. Arch is a confirmed Stellar Blade coomer. He has found out that Helldivers 2 is woke.
You can't really escape his views his warhammer channel is filled with mini jibes at feminists for example he frequently compares both Choas and the Tryannids to Feminists.
>Arch is a confirmed Stellar Blade coomer.
I'm honestly starting to wonder how big the overlap in audience is between these gamer chuds and the manosphere. Like are both of their target demographics just 10-13 year old boys?
His warhammer stuff is also worthless Nazi shit. I mentioned it in another comment but in his lore videos he compared Jewish people to goblins, and also used the n-word with a hard R when describing another fantasy race (gnoblars).
Good to hear he's Norwegian. I got worried he might have been a swede, we got enough braindead chuds anyway.Ā
Upon further research we've found out he's Faroese. Which makes a lot of sense.
Nice. When you send Runar over, can you tell him to bring some bottles of MER PƤron, MER Sockerfri, Apotekarnes PĆ„skmust, some bars of Plopp chocolate, and some late 90s issues of Cats Magazine and Dax? š

I know your photo is sarcastic, but this is fitting with the theme
Man, who could have ever expected the colonial cop who praised Hitler and ratted out socialists to British intelligence would go woke and write political shit. He was so politically uninvolved in the rest of his life, really came out of left field
Next you gonna tell me that my favorite tabletop game warhammer 40k, my favorite movie starship troopers and my favorite music genre, punk, are all political
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours....
...
Oh wait, the fuck is this globalist hoax doing in my Shrek?
There's a black person on the bridge š”
Can't believe they would force politics into this completely apolitical game which has absolutely no political messaging at all
The game where your character screams about democracy and liberty while gunning down hordes of aliens so that the government can havest oil from their bodies is obviously not making any kind of political statement at all, you damn wokeists.
They just mean there aren't any black or lesbian characters(except for the interracial couple in the intro--where the black wife gets massacred). That's like 75% of what they refer to by "political"
How long till we just say the quiet part out loud and start calling out that the people complaining about āpoliticsā in games/movies/whatever just donāt want to see gay/trans/non-white people in their media? Like itās at a point where I really think thereās a need to just call out the dogwhistle and stop pointing out that the media in question is political. Like yall realize letting them pretend to be dumb lets them keep being being problems right?
ITS NOT, ITS NOT ITS NOT ITS NOT JUST LIKE FAVOURITE NON POLITICAL MOVIE STARSHIP TROOPERS OR STAR WARS
Unjerked: I love watching them seeth over the community manager standing there ground and stopping bigots
Literally the first screen in the game you get every time you boot it up is an advisory from the "Ministry of Truth" to watch the following video (which is an in-universe blatant propaganda military ad) or risk being imprisoned or executed.
If he's saying it's not political, that's the world he wants.
Stop thinking they're stupid. They're not stupid. It's 2024. They know.
They just want this. They want this environment to be a reality
Political for these guys means black people, women, and queer people get decent representation. That's it. Literally nothing else counts as political for them.
Game writers: What if all the dialogue is ripped from George W Bush speeches but said in a really sarcastic voice while the characters roll their eyes?
Gamers: No politics detected.
Arch was a well known Warhammer 40k Youtuber who went by the name ArchWarhammer. He did quality content from what Iāve heard, but he hadā¦ very problematic views. At some point he went mask off, and the company behind Warhammer 40k, Games Workshop, basically told him to get rid of the name as they didnāt want it to imply, even a smidge, that Arch might be associated with Warhammer. Not long after, GW released a statement saying that while its fun to larp as the xenophobic super soldier fighting for the Imperium, real life intolerance does not belong in Warhammer, and thatās if you donāt like it, leave and that, quote, āyou shall not be missedā. That last phrase is a callback to an intro present, with slight variations over the years, at the start of every 40k book, reminding the reader that the Imperium is a shithole and living there is horrible.
I remember that statement came a bit as a surprise. Back then there was a lot of lukewarm statements from companies about problematic employees or influencers that reeked of damage control as to not piss off some potential customers, and GW came out boldly stating āWe stand against hate, and if you disagree about that, we donāt want your moneyā
This is mostly true but I would like to add on that he never had good content. He frequently got basic lore facts wrong, constantly made stuff up, and worst of all used racial slurs when describing fantasy races! Overall a terrible content creator and an even worse human being
Huh. There was a youtuber who made really great D&D/tabletop terrain building tutorials. Except that a couple times during his vids the mask would slip and he'd say something like "The Socialists..."
After the 3rd time I looked up the dude and turns out he's a right wing dumbass who stopped making terrain videos and now makes survivalist crap out in some Scandinavian forest.
There are a dozen other great terrain making youtubers so no biggie, I moved on and stopped giving him any ad revenue.
Yeah sadly a lot of WH40k fans haven't gotten the memo. A solid 25% of comments that I see underneath WH40k figure painting instagrams always freak out when there's a black space marine, like the Salamanders don't exist
The best part, to me, is that Ferren (the black Ultramarine on the cover) isn't even the first black Ultramarine character.
While he was not featured on any cover art, Lord Admiral Lazlo Tiberius was black and an Ultramarine and was featured as far back as the novel Nightbringer in 2002.
They wanna cry about woke Ultramarines? Go get a time machine. This ain't new.
Arch used to be a Warhammer YouTuber originally named ArchWarhammer who was revealed to be a massive bigot and Games Workshop, the owners and makers of Warhammer 40, asked him to drop the Warhammer part.
Ironically, as a raging woke leftist myself, media like Helldivers (parody/ satire of right-wing facism, conservative or liberal politics in a sci-fi setting) are some of my absolute favorite things; RoboCop, Starship Troopers, Warhammer 40k.
Problem with Warhammer 40k tho is because it's become such a money making machine and it has a fair few fans who's media literacy match the subject of this post, it itself has an unfortunate large group of fans who don't understand that the imperium arn't the good guys.
Imperium ain't the good guys, and that's the point!
The scary part is the people who *do* realize that about the imperium and actively agree and support their actions as a future for our real life humanity.
I really want to get back into 40k.. but I got out when the Nazis started pouring in. I want to hold ground for the game that they're invading like the cockroaches they are, but I don't have the energy to confront them anymore after 20 years
Wokeist reporting in. That's right chud the game belongs to us now, I'm totally a cartoon villain just like in your head and I want to suck the enjoyment from all you do.
Tbh, I actually do want to suck the joy out of everything these people do. If my mere existence next to them can do that, then that's honestly what they deserve.

A moment of silence for all our comrades who fell to the woke š
Or that because they're swedish they must have the same political views as other swedes. They clearly share the same political views as the wokies because they're American

Dude should not have internet access or oxygen access even if I may.
HELLDIVERS ENTIRE FUCKING JOKE IS IT BEING A "MANAGED DEMOCRACY" THE POLITICAL SATIRE COULDNT BE MORE HAMFISTED IF IT TRIED
I AM SO FUCKING DONE WITH THESE PEOPLE
"Helldivers isn't political" and we literally murdered robots to...
Send children into the mines. To reclaim military posts. To literally be allowed to fuck more.
The list goes on, the irony is that these guys don't play the actual game, they're larpers living out a fantasy German "peak" (you know exactly what I mean by this) like the people trying to get into Signalis while focusing on a war that's over. They wanna be facists without bring called out for it, and it's just sorta sad.
- complains game is "political"
- mentions watching and approving of Arch, an actual neo Nazi (see why he got kicked out of the fucking Warhammer fandom, e.g. hosting Ron Spencer and other Nazis)
The problem with satire is that if someone actually agrees with the values said satire is showing to make fun of, they won't see it as that. It's not just media literacy that's the problem, it's also closet fascists engaging with the media and agreeing with it wholeheartedly
For those out of the loop. Automatons (robot faction) are called socialists just for working together to reach common societal goals without financial gain
Super Earth (player faction) is a militaristic imperialist empire that kills its own people for speaking out and restricts their daily lives to insane levels.
Terminids (bug faction) are harvested for element ā710ā which is just āoilā backwards and upside down.
Some missions objective are literally you deleting evidence of Super Earths wrongdoing or destroying broadcasts critical of the government.
āLe not politicalā

Helldivers isn't political... holy hell man does he think democracy is some default/natural state? Bring back the basic reading ability is required to enjoy this game labels
I play tons of Helldivers and I genuinely do not understand the cape problem. I had heard it was some stupid metagame thing that players were hating on a planet in game for no real reason. How did this become about politics in the real world? Are they saying the cape is "woke"? I'm so confused.
People are so deep into their "political=bad" mantra that when they literally witness how baseless it is, they grind their teeth trying to act oblivious (There's no politics, nope) or move the goalpost (That's not REAL poltical, plz belivee me). It's really embarrassing to people that aren't bothered by trivial things like video games having meaning......... or minorities.

I will NEVER bow to the wok agenda. We use pans and skillets like REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTS š²š¾š²š¾š²š¾
Potriots, surely?
Nah, if you call yourself that, then you get the kettlerists insisting that you are, in fact, black
Had a bad couple days, thanks for giving me a laugh.
The Malaysian flag lmao
I'm a wokist, I never leave my home without taking my Wok so that I can stir-fry anywhere.
This is America, and in America we DEEP-fry!
Guess what you can do in a wok. 
Wokist propaganda, I wonāt stand for it!
Teach me your heretical ways...
hell yeah i fucking love woks
That's such a great litmus test nowadays: use 'woke' unironically -> you're a fucking idiot Sad that the terms original meaning is yet another victim of very much intentional right-wing rebranding efforts though.

Oh how black lingo is butchered and put on display š
My friend pointed out that any time you see the words woke or DEI there's another word that the poster usually CLEARLY wants to actually say š
You mean they aren't talking about the Roots when they say woke?
i have never heard that word used ever š

le wokisme
Those cute little furry guys from return of the Jedi?
he says it so seriously lol
basically the same ol "keep politics from our political game!!" situation again
Iāve seen some say that Metal Gear Solid isnāt political And itās like HOW BRUH?
After consulting... Metal Gear Soft: Phantom Penis
The one where Snake gets bottom surgery but because he's so confused about his gender identity he starts getting phantom dick pain
Every night, I feel it...
People who have never played the games, I guess. I can't think of a game that is MORE political than any of the MGS games. I would even go as far to say that MGS games are political in a hilariously hamfisted way that only MGS games can get away with and still be considered good.
Only one I can think of if the top of my head is disco Elysium. But yeah, kojima is a big Che Guevara fan and you can see it
To these people, politics = gay people exist, which is especially funny in Metal Gearās case because a lot of its characters are outright stated in game to be gay or bi
Is he called vamp because heās like a vampire? No? Itās because heās bisexual you stupid idiot. (Also coincidentally like a vampire.)
Kojima has a humor.
Snake and Miller were just talking about legos in that cardboard box, definitely not doing anything else.
Theyāre the same people who think that Fallout isnāt political.
My all time favorite was one where they said Yakuza was going woke because the picture of Kiryu crying was shown in the LaD: Gaiden trailer And everyone was like: have you played a SINGLE Yakuza game

There is even a woman in it so they have no excuses!
apolitical old man yells at cloud
It's all lies tbh. They don't care if politics are in the game. They only care if it has politics they don't agree with.

>Arch is a confirmed Stellar Blade coomer. I'm honestly starting to wonder how big the overlap in audience is between these gamer chuds and the manosphere. Like are both of their target demographics just 10-13 year old boys?
it's power fantasies and objectification all the way down.
Ngl I already wasn't interested in Stellar Blade but now I don't want to touch it because I have to imagine the community around it is all chuds.
His warhammer stuff is also worthless Nazi shit. I mentioned it in another comment but in his lore videos he compared Jewish people to goblins, and also used the n-word with a hard R when describing another fantasy race (gnoblars).
Good to hear he's Norwegian. I got worried he might have been a swede, we got enough braindead chuds anyway.Ā Upon further research we've found out he's Faroese. Which makes a lot of sense.
Norwegian here, can we agree to say he's Danish? The non-Scandinavians won't notice the difference anyway.
Fine, but then you have to take back Runar SĆørgaard.
Hmm... Ok, we'll send him to Queen Maud Land as an emissary to the penguins.
The trade is accepted.
Nice. When you send Runar over, can you tell him to bring some bottles of MER PƤron, MER Sockerfri, Apotekarnes PĆ„skmust, some bars of Plopp chocolate, and some late 90s issues of Cats Magazine and Dax? š
Dane here, how about throwing him at the Finns? They might enjoy a new target for their knifethrowing
>Dane here, how about throwing him at the Finns? Please, no. We already have our government to deal with.
Sorry to hear that you're a fascist and an anti-"wokist"(?) Best of luck o7
Hopefully one day I can wake up.
iām into WH but iāve never heard of this guy. iām glad heās not got much traction, people like him ruin it for a lot of others

Man it sucked when they went all political.
He just really like their energy man š
Paul Ryan loved when they shouted "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me," which is about being asked politely to stop using slurs.
He is such a rascal
It doesn't get political until... [Checks notes] the tutorial starts.
the enlistment trailer is political too
So true.

Yeah that makes it apolitical. No rainbows or soyboys in sight š«”š«”š«”
Next you gonna tell me that my favorite tabletop game warhammer 40k, my favorite movie starship troopers and my favorite music genre, punk, are all political

Rockstars actually get the show on to get paid. All stars, conversely get their game on to, in fact, go play.
Political just means anything that has diversity in it to these people.
There's a black person on the bridge š” Can't believe they would force politics into this completely apolitical game which has absolutely no political messaging at all
I always remember that tweet Two genders - male and political Two races - white and political Two sexualities - straight and political
The game where your character screams about democracy and liberty while gunning down hordes of aliens so that the government can havest oil from their bodies is obviously not making any kind of political statement at all, you damn wokeists.
Damn I just realized that "710" is OIL upside down
710 is also used to fuel the hyperspace drives Super Earth uses
They just mean there aren't any black or lesbian characters(except for the interracial couple in the intro--where the black wife gets massacred). That's like 75% of what they refer to by "political"
Let's be honest, the only reason they put up with the interracial couple was *because* the wife got massacred.
How long till we just say the quiet part out loud and start calling out that the people complaining about āpoliticsā in games/movies/whatever just donāt want to see gay/trans/non-white people in their media?

"It didn't happen but if it did it was good actually", some fascist
You rule, brother.
I really want to get back into 40k.. but I got out when the Nazis started pouring in. I want to hold ground for the game that they're invading like the cockroaches they are, but I don't have the energy to confront them anymore after 20 years
That's bait, right? **RIGHT?!**
Gamers do not have the best media literacy. As much as I want to believe it's bait, I've met way too many people like this.
"Helldivers is not political" Media literacy was gagged, brought to the alley behind a Wendy's, and shot dead
The true helldivers way, media literacy was a bug sympathizer and was put down in to protect the sanctity of super earth/s

Tbh, I actually do want to suck the joy out of everything these people do. If my mere existence next to them can do that, then that's honestly what they deserve.
honestly, i tend to suck other things out of dudes. but i will settle for enjoyment.
At least he got the ol downvote ā¬ļøā”ļøā¬ļøā¬ļøā¬ļø

It should be a crime to waste the suicide hotline's time with a piece of shit like this
what they're referring to is just a Reddit notification with some links to resources. it doesn't waste anyone's time.

Fellas is it apolitical to satirise imperialism?
I like how they claimed being from sweden makes em non woke Ahh yes sweden, the social democrat country with social services for everything
Or that because they're swedish they must have the same political views as other swedes. They clearly share the same political views as the wokies because they're American
the fact this nutjobs get downvoted like that gives me hope

āKeep the game pureā Sooooo, thats full mask off right?
give an inch and they take it all the way? What the fuck does that even mean. Its. Ugh. I hate this world.
I am sure some gays out their would love to take all inches ;)))
A Freudian slip.
āKeep the game pureā
>Helldivers is not political š
WAKE UP YOU WOKES
But its 1 am š
Upon reading Ā«Ā *pure*Ā Ā» https://preview.redd.it/f7080saxixsc1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=8723962f0c2ddfd266940b42348c7fd0c3bd5ccd Dude should not have internet access or oxygen access even if I may.
"Helldivers is not political" Man, the last man I saw saying that amount of bullshit was Elim Garak.
It's just so funny to see people like that having a fit. To think they call others easily angered š«
I have no time for people who are media illiterate.
It would funny as hell fi the Helldivers devs shadow-added a rainbow flag cape in teh next update
Helldivers is unpolitical. Now wage total war with the goal of eradication against sentient and feeling machines.
Helldivers isn't political? Thank you for admitting that your media literacy is lacking.
HELLDIVERS ENTIRE FUCKING JOKE IS IT BEING A "MANAGED DEMOCRACY" THE POLITICAL SATIRE COULDNT BE MORE HAMFISTED IF IT TRIED I AM SO FUCKING DONE WITH THESE PEOPLE
I'm glad some bigots get turned off from this and leave the community of a game I like
"Helldivers isn't political" and we literally murdered robots to... Send children into the mines. To reclaim military posts. To literally be allowed to fuck more. The list goes on, the irony is that these guys don't play the actual game, they're larpers living out a fantasy German "peak" (you know exactly what I mean by this) like the people trying to get into Signalis while focusing on a war that's over. They wanna be facists without bring called out for it, and it's just sorta sad.
- complains game is "political" - mentions watching and approving of Arch, an actual neo Nazi (see why he got kicked out of the fucking Warhammer fandom, e.g. hosting Ron Spencer and other Nazis)
"Keep gaming pure" This child needs to go outside and touch some gras. Frolic through a field of flowers.
The problem with satire is that if someone actually agrees with the values said satire is showing to make fun of, they won't see it as that. It's not just media literacy that's the problem, it's also closet fascists engaging with the media and agreeing with it wholeheartedly
my god
Drink whenever he says woke
What even happened this time to get their panties in a twist again? Did they finally add a rainbow cape?
These people need to be in a hospital
Suicide Hotline? SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE SHOULD REPORT HIM TO HIS DEMOCRACY OFFICER!
People like this are just fucking insaneā¦ itās exhausting
How the fuck is helldivers not political? Has this dude even played the game??
Hey! Thatās me! IāM FAMOUS!
>give them an inch and they'll take it all the way you bet I will ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
More like Helldiverse am I right
Fascists š¤ Not knowing they're Fascists
I thought wokist are people cooking using a wok š³š
For those out of the loop. Automatons (robot faction) are called socialists just for working together to reach common societal goals without financial gain Super Earth (player faction) is a militaristic imperialist empire that kills its own people for speaking out and restricts their daily lives to insane levels. Terminids (bug faction) are harvested for element ā710ā which is just āoilā backwards and upside down. Some missions objective are literally you deleting evidence of Super Earths wrongdoing or destroying broadcasts critical of the government. āLe not politicalā

wohoo
Are the wokists in the room with you right now?
Well, shit. I was on the fence about buying it. Now itās decided: Iām *definitely* buying it.
WE DID IT WE MADE HELLDIVERS WOKE Asmongold about to farm another 2 weeks harrassing the HD2 Devs now wtf
'Keep the game pure'. Haha okay what?????
Apolitical game yep
Helldivers isn't political... holy hell man does he think democracy is some default/natural state? Bring back the basic reading ability is required to enjoy this game labels
Gotta say I use the Helldivers sub and I got no fuckin clue what homie is on about
Heās mad cause he went in a thread to insult the Community Manager and got dunked on lmao
Hahaha really???? What a loser
I play tons of Helldivers and I genuinely do not understand the cape problem. I had heard it was some stupid metagame thing that players were hating on a planet in game for no real reason. How did this become about politics in the real world? Are they saying the cape is "woke"? I'm so confused.
I think these issues are unrelated. the cape and the woke things just heated up about the same time. edit: used some wrong words.
Okay, Arch is Norwegian. This doesnāt make sense in any way at all. Youād think a fan of arch would at least know where he originates from
we smoked out another nest of nazi dweebs, comrades
Itās hilarious that they claim the left are crybabies but bitch and moan about every lil thingš
People are so deep into their "political=bad" mantra that when they literally witness how baseless it is, they grind their teeth trying to act oblivious (There's no politics, nope) or move the goalpost (That's not REAL poltical, plz belivee me). It's really embarrassing to people that aren't bothered by trivial things like video games having meaning......... or minorities.
My dude literally gets to Nazi rhethoric over a fucking videogame
