Why the fuck is Battle Network "woke"?

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

They added a general disclaimer that some dialogue is inappropriate for modern times and not representative of Capcom's current values. Some examples, courtesy of the ESRB:

The game contains some suggestive material in the dialogue (e.g., “Stop peeking! You Pervert”; "Her measurements are 33,22,33”; “You missed out on seeing [her] naked.”).

There's nothing visual going on, it's just "spicy" dialogue, but I support their decision to add a disclaimer. But merely acknowledging this is too much for these people...

That is the most asinine reason to call it woke. Lmao did they also whinge about Mafia II whose re-release also had this disclaimer? Or is that a chad game for these people regardless?
