His post was in no way controversial and is the sentiment of a lot of gamers, which is why games that reject wokification tend to do well financially. Companies that choose not to engage in woke identity culture have my full support.
"It's not controversial if I agree with it."
I don't think his comments are a particularly big deal, but this is perhaps the worst, most narcissistic take on it. I'd ask for a source on that claim about what games do well financially but unironically saying "woke identity culture" gives me zero faith in your ability to comprehend data. Let me guess, you think Gillette lost $8B?
The data is fairly clear. If you believe that woke culture has had a positive impact in our overall social discourse then, I have a bridge to sell you. I'm an old school liberal. I think we should stop dividing people based on 'identities' and start treating people as individuals. Woke culture has brought nothing but destruction and tribalism. You are free to support it and I am free to oppose it.
I don't support it because it's not a real thing. It's a bogeyman used to sow destruction and tribalism.
You may not think it's a real thing and that's certainly fair, but then why put energy into this whole thing by commenting on it here?
There are a lot of people however who think it is very real and it is a problem that needs to be dealt with, and they're putting their money where their mouth is.
What a joke. All the Woke/DEI types are the ones commenting everywhere and giving their opinions where no one wants them.
The average gamer doesn’t want that bullshit and just wants good gameplay mechanics with a cool badass story.
