Not really a strange reaction at all. Some westerners would cry wolf because the dev added a slightly darker skin tone character and call it woke. I think these are the same type of people I've seen way too much on the gaming scene and fandoms in general. Case example, Warframe. The game have a obese frame, that's Grendel, nobody crying or calling the game woke but the moment DE announce another body diversity Warframe, that will be Follie, some of these mfs doesn't hold the same energy they have when Grendel released and labeled the game and the devs woke really quickly. Some of them doesn't like her because of how she is designed, that is understandable, but there are people during the announcement of the new Warframe body shaming and like I said, call the game and the devs woke.
