I hate how adding black or gay characters in media is a company “going woke” how dare black or gay people want to see themselves or be represented in media? I’m so tired of this, As a black person it’s so irritating to see a black character added and all of a sudden the company or creators are “going woke” for simply adding different types of people. Different kinds of people exist and deserve to see themselves in media and it’s important to see yourself in media at least in my eyes. Seeing black people in media when I was younger was what helped me feel more confident in myself and my skin so this kind of mentality of a company “going woke” for adding black peoples irritates me beyond belief.

It’s “going woke” if it’s shoehorned in. Forcing it into people’s faces and the game suffers as a result. I think if it’s a good story, and it’s not practically forcing propaganda down our throats, people on social media-the vocal minority-Tend to overreact.

@@MetaKnight964 I never said I did? I’m talking about how even when a character gets added and it’s not for brownie points people will still say that they’re “going woke”. You’re speaking as though black and gay characters are only ever added for brownie points and nothing else which isn’t true but I’m not sure if that was your intention when saying that.

3:19 "How much they don't want us in their fantasies" is such a good way to describe it. Because that's really what videogames are for these people - fantasies. They want games to be their ideal world, and their ideal world doesn't include black people.

Yet it’s people labeling others as fearful, misogynistic, racist, etc. that just make it worse. You have to understand, most people labeled as Racist, Bigoted, homophobic, misogynistic people actually aren’t. A lot of people genuinely just disagree with a lot of the more “left wing beliefs” they don’t hate those people, heck, a lot of them are really nice, kindhearted people. Yet politics get them labeled all sorts of terrible things because they don’t agree with someone’s views. The real problem is it’s starting to get forced down our throats. To the point where media is suffering as a result. Most people that don’t like games because of all of this stuff (even if it’s more tame) isn’t because it is inherently woke, it’s because the track record isn’t very good. It’s a very small, vocal, minority that actually genuinely hates people, and actually is everything you call them. You may disagree, and you can call me whatever you want, but that’s just my perspective on things. The world is burning right now, why should we throw gasoline on that fire by letting petty disagreements get in the way.

Yeah! According to Marian Webster Dictionary, "woke" was supposed to be a short term of "be "aware" of inequality, racism, and so on" And yet thank to these women and their man-hating feminism who hate every single good things in the media/industry/internet, they end up created another cybercrime called Grifters, which the majority of these grifters are grifting every single coping fans/communities of RWBY, Star Wars, Halo, and so much more Edit: I know the 2nd paragraph is too offtopic compare to first half, but that's how I understand copium of those so far with so called modern "woke"

Some of them know what woke actually means and that is why the term is being used. It is an appropriation of the term to irritate the "woke." The "woke" vs "anti-woke" is just a online post modernity struggle with memes and trolls as the primary weapons on both sides.

Zau was doomed from the very start as almost no one from video game playing community is interested in African Folklore. The game got pushed at Keely's "The Game Awards Show" with a trailer and speech from Creator / Director Abubakar Salim. Zau was a passion project and the devs and publishers knew it was not going to sell. That is why it released on PS Plus, Gamepass and EA Play day one. The reason why people are dancing on Zau's development studio layoffs is the project's connection to SBI. Just a flex from the "Anti-Woke" crowd.

Woke killed Zau? Wrong, poor marketing. I never heard of this game, no one has ever posted about it in any of the communities I'm in, one of my friends literally only knows about it because of the banner in ea app and has never seen mention of it elsewhere. Reminder that PC players are likely buying ea games from steam now so even people who play a lot of ea games aren't likely to see that. I can't buy something I don't know exists. Though I might check it out now that I know about it. I already spent a lot of money on this summer sale so it might have to wait for the next sale, we'll see.

This game had a trailer at the Keely The Game Award Show with a full speech from the director about the game and the inspiration for its creation. The show was either at the XBOX Developer direct or PlayStation Partner Showcase Show back in January.That is as big of a signal boost as you are going to get. The reason the game failed was that the vast majority of people in "'The West" is not interested in African folklore whatsoever and the games attachment to SBI which quelled most of any remaining interest the game could have had.

The sad part is that the game never intended to challenge anyone's politics and the story is very apolitical, but the anti-wokes consider anything related to SBI or any minority existence to be inherently political. They know they have no just cause; they just want an outlet for their sadism and superiority complex. Although the dev tried to address the harassment, it fell on deaf ears because there's no convincing people who believe they are gods compared to the out-groups. And I'm not talking about benevolent gods like Kalunga; I'm talking about generic JRPG final bosses who want to lord over everyone. As for the game itself, I found it to be a 7.8/10 game with its strengths and weaknesses. It's actually pretty good by the standards of first games, and I hope this harassment doesn't scare the devs away from making a new and better game in the future.
