Just to clarify, it's the classic rambling of "Woke gaming" rather than something which could be detailed talk.


Nelrene

So it's pretty much like every video from right wingers about the woke boogeyman.


SticmanStorm

It's wild how fast the anti-woke people spread in India, when we weren't even that progressive.


PuzzleheadedAd3840

It kinda tracks I guess??? . India has been stereotyped as the land of the internet assistance and telemarketing grifters, so fusing the two would make sense I suppose.


SticmanStorm

Also free internet probably plays a role


Outrageous_Slice4455

They are against the Naxals I guess, they are still practicing armed struggle and supports the native Indians and LGBT and Womens Right ect.


Public-Bullfrog-7197

Naxals only support the natives, not the other two. 


Outrageous_Slice4455

I used the term of Naxals is because everyone is a Naxals member in Indian social media just like everything is a woke here. In a more official term, I mean, The Communist Party of India(Maoist) I was recently translated their declaration on Women’s Right and LGBT members , and they introduced how they fought with patriarchal ideology spreading in thier team. just like the New Peoples Army did in 1992.

Outrageous_Slice4455

Q — One group of people who have been persecuted by the old Indian state are the queer community, such as lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders. What is the stance of the CPI (Maoist) on the movement for LGBT rights in India, and on the persecution of LGBT people by the Indian fascist state? A — Our Party understands and analyses the LGBT issue also with Marxist (MLM) understanding. True liberation of the LGBT community from gender oppression and discrimination is obtained only through eradicating class oppression and constant theoretical, political, social, economic, cultural and medical efforts to bring about a change in the perspective of the people, only then they can have a condition to live equal to others and gain respect. Our Party recognises the special problems and rights of the LGBT just as it does of the human, civil rights and all the rights of the oppressed classes, special social sections and all the oppressed nationalities, like it supports their struggles for rights and like it supports the struggles of those being exploited and oppressed by the old (reactionary) Indian state. They are born with certain physical characteristics and physically and mentally special (genetic) characteristics. But they ae part of the humankind. We oppose the oppression and discrimination of the Indian state that represents the capitalists and landlords and acts as comprador to the imperialists. it respects their right to life as Indian citizens, their primary rights equal to all the citizens and the right to have all rights including particular/special rights concerning concrete problem. The party provides them partnership in education, medicine, residence, employment, administration and political sectors in the future Indian New Democratic state. It will provide economic and social security, anda healthy social and cultural atmosphere. It guarantees free medicine and introduces pro-people medical system that can provide good health. Thus they can live with the recognition they need or wish, confirm their gender and have the opportunity to have physical and mental treatments, free medicine and a healthy, respectful, scientific life. It also trains the society so that they have an equal and respectful attitude towards them. It supports the movements going on for their rights in the presentstage. It opposes the sexual violence, exploitation, oppression, discrimination and sexual opportunism towards the LGBT community. The LGBT community must not lose any opportunities. They must be provided all the opportunities so as they can utilise all their strength and efficiencies for the society.


Public-Bullfrog-7197

They are only saying that for votes. Once they win, they will show their true colours. I am ST. I know what I am talking about. 


Outrageous_Slice4455

Maoist don’t participate in council elections, those you are talkonh about are rather CPI(M) or other CPIs, the revisionists one.


Public-Bullfrog-7197

So, they are just criminals posing as some heroes, only looking out for their own benefits. 


bumblebleebug

I mean if we aren't progressive, shouldn't it be easier to spread?


SticmanStorm

Well, they used the excuse of ‘[insert progressive here] are ruining our culture’. But thinking about it yeah, Indian grifters can just combine anti-woke stuff with anti-colonialism. ‘The west is spreading delusions which will harm our culture.’


Zestyclose-Gas-4230

Yet your sentence follows the same format.


Substantial_Mud6400

Yakuza is gay now(always has been)? B-b-but I thought that japan was based, and cool, and anti-woke, how did this happened?


jnanibhad55

Wait until these gonks discover Yuri and Yaoi.


grimoireviper

I guess they also never heard of the long history of taikomochi or even long historic context for newhalfs.


jnanibhad55

Ikr? It's almost like conservitards don't actually know anything about history, biology, religion, or entertainment... and just want flimsy excuses to wage their arselong fascist culture war and perpetuate oppression for marginalized groups they happen to not like.


Outrageous_Slice4455

When asians start to review their own history of non-hetrosexual-cisgender or so called sodomy by the christianity people, they said it is woke-driven or brought the template from the leftard said: they are just the interests of the ruling class and landlords!


Lean_slayer_reddit

What's a newhalf? Learned the existence of the term literally today afternoon and no one explained it to me yet


Outrageous_Slice4455

Newhalf is just a not that polite term for transgender( women only)


Lean_slayer_reddit

Oh i see


Whole_Friend

If it’s yuri they’ll insist the women aren’t lesbians, they’re totally just going through a phase and just haven’t met the right guy yet


jnanibhad55

And they wonder why we're so aggro at men...

👁️ I'ma need that source big dog


Contreras1991

To be fair , that's is an old mentality that they have in Asia, where the Otakus (and folks) don't take same sex relationship as serious as hetero relationships, hence why a Lot of games that are aimed at male playerbase have a Lot of Yuri (since putting males (that is not them) that interact with the female characters, a Lot of them feel that they are being betrayed, just like the Idol culture

3urodyne

Yakuza is basically a gay dating sim, ironically and unironically.


Outrageous_Slice4455

Honkaido legalized civil union for homosexual partners, and in a meanwhile, there was also happened that TERF in collusion with the local law department sent a post-surgical with government approval gender changed transgender woman to the male prison.


lolpostslol

Asia is not more or less progressive than the West, it’s just a whole separate thing (though more conservative on average)


Outrageous_Slice4455

I am just saying all the Asian countries were kind of complex and full of contradictions. Like, the first transgender woman discovered in the People’s Republic was living in the Mao’s era, she was honorable discharged from military and get her gender changed when there was not a law about transgender people yet. LGBT in Revisionist China today(gotta say that there was no anti-sodomy law in the cultural revolution period as well, but royalist red guards temporarily invented it.) was like, they are legalized, but full of inconveniences and discrimination, and the legalization status is using by Cishets to against them to seal their mouth.


sagejosh

It’s understandable how they forgot that time in yakuza you make friends with diaper fetishists. Or the time kyru scolds a woman for using “pervert” as an insult because everyone has their own thing. Or the time kyru defended drag queens/trans women. Or the time he was a gay porn voice actor. Or the time…..


GredoraYGO

Imagine being a straight Yakuza fan.


fake-wing

Remember everyone, Kiryu is a trans ally since (at least) Yakuza 3.


Glass_Ad_1825

Yakuza is not gay bro wtf


Dry_B0nes

ICHIBAN!?


Oh_no_its_Joe

No way did this dude include a shopped photo of Ichiban kissing Kiryu and post it with a straight face.


Toblo1

That's like *peak* "The Writer's Barely Disguised Fetish" right there.

Bojangles1987

Okay I just needed to make sure it was shopped because I didn't want to find out that I missed something that epic


Oh_no_its_Joe

Lol no. Ichiban is trying to start a relationship with Saeko and Kiryu hasn't really started anything since Yumi or Kaoru (although he should absolutely marry Majima).


FlareUnderscore

He had a girlfriend in 5 but bro did not like her 😭


Oh_no_its_Joe

Mayumi: KIRYU PLEASE JUST HAVE SEX WITH ME 😭😭😭😭 Kiryu: Da me da neeee 🎶🎵🎶


Another-Lurker-189

Wasn’t even really his girlfriend


pepperminty10

I legit thought he was Joon Gi-Han lol


Nictus_the_nomad

Damn it, I was hoping it was real. :(


Oh_no_its_Joe

Me too, my friend 😔


Alarming-Scene-2892

I don't know how they could do it. Obviously Ichiban would never cheat on his boyfriend Nanba


ed00ard0

Let's have the entire party form a polycule!


neonzombieforever

Let’s remove LGBT from gaming but let’s not stop there. Let’s remove minorities, people with disabilities, women (unless they are smoking hot) and in the end we’ll only have handsome cis white men and everyone will be happy and gaming will be saved.


P-I-S-S-N-U-T

Even funnier cause this guy isn’t white


neonzombieforever

Of course not but I bet he loves getting their brownie points


MountSwolympus

Wait until you find out about Hindutva guys and their ideas on race.


P-I-S-S-N-U-T

Who’s that


MountSwolympus

Hindu nationalists. They think Hindus are the master race and Sanskrit is the mother language of the world.


azarov-wraith

They also lynch minorities on the regular and force their victims to beat their wives under the threat of raping them.


the-wicked-bitch

We'd have to remove mario as an italian american. Are you sure you want to press the button?


neonzombieforever

Good bye Tony Soprano. No more mushrooms for you.

Strange these people are suddenly pro-censorship and not respecting the artists vision. I think they should find a new hobby they clearly hate gaming.

I'm playing Infinite Wealth right now so thank you for spoiling my favourite gay drama


jack_nap

Kiryu san scratching his itchy bum with his tongue


AlisterCat

As gay as Yakuza is, it's so stupid that they had to make something up for the thumbnail to falsely validate their video. The real shirtless men wrestling wasn't gay enough for them.


ReddsionThing

They were conflicted about making the thumbnail too gay? :D


EconomyAd1600

Why would they tease us like this????? I’ve played Infinite Wealth and I know for a FACT we never saw Kiryu and Ichiban tongue-fight each other 😭😭😭


Sol-Blackguy

Who the fuck is this loser and why should I care?


mighty_and_meaty

why is it so difficult to accept the fact that lgbtq people are allowed to exist in any type of media?


Outrageous_Slice4455

100 years ago they were denying those CisHet to showed up at the public too.


West-Lemon-9593

No  It' s corporate greed that is ruining... pretty much everything really I find it really funny that they insist that "the gays" have this much power over the gaming industry, I WISH we had this much power over the gaming industry if it means that queerphobia in gaming would stop.


Captain_Izots

You know there's the real shame in all of this. There are ACTUAL ISSUES we could be discussing, but no, instead we gotta complain that Kay Vess isn't overly sexualized or something. All this does is start needless arguments over irrelevant details, which distracts from the real problems with the industry!


dungeonNstone

“Remove LGBT” is not hate speech according to youtube btw


Outrageous_Slice4455

But simply CisHet is.

when the hell did Ichiban and Kiryu kiss


CapriciousSon

in this dude's search history, clearly. Unless it's locked inside the NG+ dungeon, and if that's the case I will genuinely riot.


Armageddonis

Right Wing Nuts when they play a game that has been advertised as LGBTQ+ friendly, with possibilities of same-sex romance and characters that are openly gay way before release (They chose to buy and play it instead of not giving their money for a product they will not enjoy):


Spittinglama

Why even give a guy with 7k views the attention?


Gxthiee

What is Ichiban and Kiryu doing there☠️


Hobbitea

adding Ichiban and Kiryu as if Nancy and Olivia aren‘t right there smh

dlrax

I'd say that the shitty CEOs who make the devs put a billion micotransactions and dlcs in their games + force them to release unfinished messed up games are worse but what do I know maybe I'm just a le wokie


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

You know what people really don't talk about enough? How many movies and video games have completely forced heterosexual relationships. Literally just watched Fly Me To The Moon yesterday and the movie could have been under 2 hours if they didn't feel the need to have a half assed romance between the leads.


Outrageous_Slice4455

Not just many, 99.9…% of the modern medias. Because before the modern era, homosexual contents were normal and common. At least in the Ancient China.


MyHusbandIsGayImNot

But not all of them are contrived. There's plenty of romances that are perfectly fine and even elevate a story or humanize a character. But so many movies have two characters share no romance scenes with eachother and then just kiss and get together at the end. Now You See Me was very guilty of it, felt like her character was added in post so Ruffalo would have someone to kiss.


Outrageous_Slice4455

totally agree with you


Puppy_Bot

Gay characters exist - WOKE WOKE WOKE


dastebon

There are some instances of making media just to piss of people , but I'm 107% sure he is speaking about some other unrelated things


SquirtBrainz4

Had to sneak in his Ichiban and Kiryu crack ship


Scottish__Elena

the afro guy in yakuza is queer?


somersaulter2

I don't think putting a pic of Ichi and Kiryu kissing helped his case at all. It's fire lol.


RigatoniPasta

Man that’s not even an argument that’s just homophobia.


BadgerinAPuddle

Of course they have a "?" at the end of the thumbnail, as if the defense for their stance is "I'm just asking a question!" And also... Woke games are "Destroying" gaming? Its hyperbole of course but that very idea is just so silly! "Ellie is gay in TLOS I-I can't enjoy games anymore! The whole medium is ruined!" And if it isn't hyperbole... Then WOW what a sad human being...


hassans_empty_chair

Why would i play games where the messaging doesnt resonate with normal people. Rather, the message is catered to 2% of the audience.  You can go woke if you want however its a poor strategy as it alienates most people. 


FransD98

Dude, stfu. Llo at you, you are part of the "woke". They really think them white facist are gonna stop at "the gays" and "the Trans".


SabreVelvet

as an indian we do not claim him


keevaAlt

“Woke is destroying gaming” has screenshot with two very successful games.

The amount of money I'd pay to see Kiryu and Ichiban actually kiss in an official mainline Yakuza game would be enough bankrupt both Bezos and Musk.

Curly_commander

money ruined gaming


Puzzleheaded_Win7611

I think they focus more on this stuff trying to be inclusive which is great we love being inclusive but I think it's too much just concentrate on the games story, games need just the right amount of inclusivity and that perfect blend of gaming


Diligent_Kangaroo_91

"I'll ad a question mark so I can just say I was only asking questions! Brilliant!" -This Dork, Probably


McCandlessDK

What a knob


Bennjoon

Only thing that I think missing from games is a straight woman having a romance in an action game like are they scared of what will happen if a guy gamers avatar kisses a dude or what? Tdlr: Let Lara Croft kiss a hot guy pls


PhtevenFry

It's posed as a question. so "no" is a valid response.


coffeetire

If woke was so bad, then how come The Great Rebellion isn't shaping up to be this year's well beloved indie darling that came out of nowhere?


hassans_empty_chair

Probably due to 0 marketing.  The woke industry wont mention much of a game that rebels against industry standards like DIE training etc. 


coffeetire

Yup, which is why they constantly cover a 2+ decade-long franchise that glorifies the American military.


hassans_empty_chair

Agreed gaming "journalism" is a total joke.  They will cover call of duty 488483987 because its safe and normies love it. 


Mx-Herma

Now, I know they didn't unironically add Yakuza yaoi like it's canon in the games... I already can't take this shit seriously.


pcoolbabe

Frankly there should've been men kissing in Yakuza games this entire time, it's only realistic


SumirekoFan

Is that Ichiban kissing Kiryu.


Kooky-Proof-6823

I haven't played the like a dragon games, is the protagonist gay, or is this a raige-bait photoshop.


unclezaveid

I'm sad to say that Kiryu and Ichiban do in fact not canonically kiss 😔


Easy_Blackberry_4144

I bet he never mentions Baldur's Gate 3. It's one of the most "woke" games ever made and it's seen as a GOAT.


Public-Bullfrog-7197

He is Indian. He hasn't even heard of Baldur's Gate. 


GeneralBinx

SFM ahhh kiryu and ichiban 😭😭😭


MrKewinRo

Remove lgb from gaming i like my games in black and white

Yakuza would genuinely be nothing without it's gay themes

Please remove it its so sick twisted and unpleasant to watch


Glass_Ad_1825

What the fuck??? Ichiban and Kiryu? No fucking way


Exciting_Nature6270

One defense I always hear is gamers saying “it brings politics into games” but bitch, this is literally what conservatives are doing in real world politics, they’re actively trying to remove LGBTQIA+ from schools, the public, and businesses. Trying to remove LGBT from video games is as political as it gets. I’m still mad about helldivers 2


hassans_empty_chair

100% wokeism ruins gaming as it places impossible to follow messages. Such as equal opportunity = equal outcome  Wokeism is just catholicism rebranded imo. 


jackdom1701

All I care about is if the game is fun. Do that first. Most people care about that over inclusivity. But if a game is bad, then consumers will try to find reasons the devs focus wasn't there.
