    I can’t believe these chuds still parrot this “Go woke, go broke” shit when it so verifiably isn’t true. Apex Legends, Overwatch, League of Legends have all the minorities you could ever want in their games and they’re still at the top of their genres. Apex has a trans woman voiced by an actual trans VA, to the point that they might actually be sincere about it and not just ticking off boxes. Cyberpunk and Baldur’s Gate let you be gay and us-foreign-policy, they let you be a girl with a penis and everything too. They didn’t go broke, did they?

    It’s so bizarre how they can ignore all this but then point to a single financial failure that has diversity and go “See, told ya! Go woke, go broke!”

      Cherry picking is a time honored chud tradition

      They’re showing Last of Us 2 and Horizon Forbidden West in the category of “Woke -> Broke” which is just fucking hilarious, both of those sold like hot cakes.

        they also always use some awkward horrible shot of aloy, like, in-the-middle-of-an-action-cutscene about-to-be-lunged-at-by-massive-fucking-robot-rhino. any character will look ugly if you pick the angle and timing very carefully out of context.

        here are more general/accurate pictures. this is what these morons are whining about. horizon is great btw, solid 8/10, have had 3 playthroughs so far and plan on doing another one

        she’s shooting robot dinosaurs and saving half the planet in a post apocalyptic world, what do you expect, makeup?

          i tried to like the first game , but i think the reliance on ranged weapons killed it for me the bow specifically. shrug-outta-hecks also i did talk with that one dude on top of the building and he got super pissy with me when i told him to eat a dick

          anyway yeah she is gorgeous and chuds have never seen a woman that wasnt drawn
