Not to get too off-topic here...
The whole Dalia weightlifting segment was a bit cringe & woke (especially her winning against a dude 6 pounds heavier than her in a single strike lol)
She sucker-kicked him in the throat if I recall correctly, that is enough to take anyone down. The weightlifting segment is unrealistic for someone of her body frame, but the entire game is fantasy so a little suspension of disbelief is acceptable. I can see why some people would think it is a tad woke but, to be honest, I didn't get any typical "empowered girlboss" vibe from the scene.
Using woke as a pejorative, is a sign of being too stupid for one's own good.
I think being woke is a sign of being stupid, but each to their own. In all fairness, we probably all agree but are just using different definitions of woke from each other. It becomes increasingly difficult to host conversations like this because everyone starts from different premises and uses different language to describe the same concepts, and we all just end up confused and yelling at each other.
Woke? That word is so fucking over used its lost all its meaning
No fucking way I come into this thread after a while and see someone complain about "woke" shit in a porn game like Eternum
Istg ppl that complain that "everything is woke and its cringe" are just as, if not more annoying, than the actual "woke agenda"
and I say this as someone who hates it when representation takes priority over good storytelling.
Next someone gonna complain that Maat's character/scene is cringe cuz she's "DEI"
This is the result of agitation from ideology. We have been told incessantly for the last decade that everything is political, and then we act surprised when people begin to see politics in every creative decision made.
When you have an entire political ideology centred around racialist morality that thrusts itself into all forms of media with the antagonistic intention of forcibly inserting minorities, can you blame laymen for believing that every instance of a minority character, even when it is not due, is a result of some DEI ideological push? This is why the word "woke" is overused and watered down - people don't understand where it truly exists because they are agitated; by design, mind you.
I very much believe I know what I am talking about when it comes to this, and I don't believe that Maat is some DEI quota insert. I don't think Carib has some ideological intention to subversively push wokeism into his game, I think he just likes making awesome and interesting characters and a fun adventure. I mean, this game has stunningly beautiful women having constant lewdness and sexual activity for the sake of male pleasure - that is about as far away from woke as you can get.
Also, the idea that the anti-woke are more annoying than the woke is a crazy stance to take. One only exists because of the other.
Anyway, I assume mods will strike this as off-topic, but I like to share my 2 cents when it comes up.
