Do you, or anyone you know, actively avoid games due to "wokeness"? |

I read about half the thread, so apologies if anyone's already said this - but Concord didn't fail because of wokeness. |

Screenshot 2024-09-05 123742.png ![]() ![]() ![]() >One scene with Abby stands out in this regard. In brief, there is a sex scene between Abby and her ex-boyfriend, one that I would characterise as bordering on violent (although consenting). This scene was met with derision and disgust by many players, who lamented online that they did not want to view a sex scene with a ‘shemale’ – the prevalence of the term ‘sodom-’ in review bombings of TLOU2 being evidence of this (Tomaselli & Cantone, 2021, p. 12). The scene, and the details within it did seem out of place to me – the level of nudity, the way that Abby’s breasts were visible, seemed unnecessarily revealing. I wonder if the game developers placed such emphasis to a) point out that women can have a more ‘masculine’ body type and still be heterosexual, b) communicate to the players that Abby is, indeed, biologically female, or c) ‘verify’ her status as a woman through having sex with a man. I could find little commentary on this topic, other than a post that unpacks how the scene adds depth to Abby and her ex-boyfriend’s characters and narrative. |

Cassandra is a bit more reserved in the bosom department, but hey, she fights in her undies, so we’ll cut her some slack. (Lynch, 2008, p. 20) |
