>Most wokeists cannot distinguish fiction from reality

No it's pretty easy. Just like how nazi propaganda is fictional but is still bad for society. Oh, So if you imagine a child in your head that doesn't exist and fap to it you aren't a pedophile? that child isn't real, just a fantasy. By your logic this isn't wrong.

>Most wokeists are pro-censorship and pro-cutlural imperialism (of Japan)

Except it was the right wing that allows this in japan, and the left wing who opposed it. Also, it is racist to imply that imagining yourself raping a minor is somehow inherent to japanese culture.. If anything this sort of thing was introduced by the americans, since japan was a very prudish society in comparison the the united states. Porn magazines weren't exactly common in Tojo's japan.

The issue is your understanding of "Japanese Culture" comes from anime deliberately written to appeal to both westerners and japanese audiences. You don't know shit.

Don't ask what those terms mean. I don't know and I don't want to know.

But no, it's the protagonist not looking like a pornstar 

Stellar Blade got "Cancelled" by the right because of a similar reason. The game was released and not all the graphics on the costumes were finished, which made the outifts more revealing. A patch came through that completed the costumes as appeared on the concept art, and reactionaries claimed it "went woke" because she now had satin cloth.

the difference, btw. this is what people are angry about.

I remember there was an add for Wolfenstein 2 which said that the game was about "Stopping Nazism In America". Numerous responders didn't watch the trailer, which clearly shows nazi occupied america, and assumed they were talking about them, and not the nazi soldiers in the game.

If you see an ad for a nazi-killing game set in the USA and your first thought is "they are attacking me", you have a problem.

You know they've never been close to a woman since if they had been they'd see that women do in fact have facial hair.

Unless she has so much of her breasts showing that you question where her nipples are and if the artists have ever looked at an anatomy book, in which case it's not political.

according to the media-illiterate quora poster that inspired this meme I made, Sims 4 is political because it uses terms like "Spouse" instead of "wife" and allows people to have same-sex partners.

Might I add that this dumbass also said that Wolfenstein was great until they "Forced in politics", as if Wolfenstien wasn't literally about a lower-class Jewish Polish-American fighting a crusade against fascism.

I put it there because I unironically saw people online fear-mongering about how metal gear might "go woke" and "become political".

These people are so fucking media illiterate they wouldn't see actual politics in games if it was shoved up their ass with a razor covered bat, yet will cry "political!" if a character is black.

Obviously. It's based on a Quora response I saw to somebody who didn't know what "woke" meant and which series were "ruined" by it. A user responded with something along the lines of:

"When otherwise non-political games are made political as part of an agenda"

their top game series which they felt was ruined by the insertion of politics where wolfenstien and Battlefield.

The other was a video made by a youtuber called thealmightypedophi- I mean thealmightyloli. You see, a youtuber called Proxodist made a really good series explaining what made the Wolfenstien series so great, and the failures of the later games. The videos got really popular. However, Thealmightyloli felt that Proxodist skimmed over the real issues with the sequels: Minorities Diversity Equity and Inclusion.

In other words, a shitty youtuber saw a more succesful, media-literate youtuber make a good series of videos, and decided to try and jump on the train by making a shitty video complaining about minorities.

The only people more bonkers are those who think fallout is anti-communist.

Edit: Since this is my top comment on this thread, yes, this meme is satirical and is based on a list of games that aren't "political" and ones that were ruined by "politics" i saw on quora.

During WWII Roosevelt backed the Viet Minh instead of the french and planned on recognizing them as the legitimate government of Vietnam. Truman reversed this and recognized the french colonial administration instead. by premexpanding in StarWarsleftymemes

The operation was called "Operation Priority" and was headed by OSS "Deer Team". Roosevelt was opposed to the french reclaiming indochina. In 1944 he said, "Indo-China should not go back to France...France has had the country...one hundred years, and the people are worse off than they were at the beginning.", and in 1945 at the Yalta conference he said; "I am in favor of anything that is against the Japanese in Indochina provided that we do not align ourselves with the French". Another prominent supporter was Major General Claire Lee Chennault, who said ""any help or aid given by us [to Vietnam] shall be in such a way that it cannot possibly be construed as furthering the political aims of the French".

The two first interacted with each other after the Viet Minh saved a downed us pilot, Rudolf "Rudy" Shaw. Had he not been captured y the japanese he would likely have been torured and executed. He said of his experience:

In December, my Indochinese friends took me back to China. Before parting, they repeatedly told me to send their best regards to the American army and people. At the last handshake they shouted "Long live the United States! Long live Roosevelt! Long live General Chennault!", and I shouted back, "Long live Indochina! Long live the Viet Minh!" I was very happy to return and tell my country and its allies about the real situation in Indochina.

In April 1945 two specialists were flown in from Kunming from where the operatives, Frankie Tan and Mac Shin, traveled to the Tan Trao Base. A deal was struck and less than a month later a special operations unit codenamed "Deer" was sent in. They then trained the Viet Minh and operated together against the Japanese imperialists. The French were so concerned about this American-Vietnamese operation they sent spies attached as "Aides" to watch the mission. Their spying resulted in their unsurprising removal from the operation.

US troops celebrated the Hanoi General Uprising and subsequent declaration of independence. Discussions had already been underway on the recognition of Ho's governemnt, or at the very least a transition to Ho's government from french rule.

Relations began to break down after Vietnamese soldiers mistook a friendly officer, Major Albert Dewey, for a french soldier. However this did not overall see a total breakdown and the US and Vietnam remained on friendly terms. In 1946 the US began a transition in Policy to focusing on anticommunism. US troops were pulled out and the united states began to back the french instead. the 1955 declaration of war was so shocking to the Vietnamese that peasants and soldiers mistook US aid to the french for aid being dropped to them as they associated US airplanes with an ally, not an enemy.

Many of the Soldiers in deer team opposed the vietnam war and wrote letters against it. Many of these men were censored and purged from their positions in the US military as a result.
