Gears of War creator Cliffy B says ‘woke’ claims “p*** me off”
Gears of War creator Cliffy B says he’s sick of claims that the Xbox co-op shooter “went woke,” pointing to the diversity of the GoW3 cast.
That headline is doing him dirty. Makes it sound like he is annoyed about the opposite.
The actual tweet the article is about:
Pisses me off that people say Gears went "wOkE".
These culture wars are out of control. If Gears 3 came out today they’d say the same thing about it – the cast was diverse AF and we had strong, non-sexualized female soldiers.
The headline is technically fine, we just hear it wrong in our heads. The noun is "claims", that's what pisses him off.
And who would make 'woke claims'? Only one type of person, no one uses it unironically and positively...
Damn I really misunderstood the headline.
Good on him for calling out that bitching about games being “woke”.
From what I've read about him, I thought CliffyB would have been on the "seeing wokes in everything" group.
Definitely pleasantly surprised he seems to have a good head on his shoulders
Any time someone uses the the term "woke" in earnest, I immediately assume they are a bigoted moron.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's cringe inducing even reading it in a headline.
The everything is woke or not is out of control, when the real wide spread problem is just bad writing and story telling. I'm just tired of stories with contrived conflicts that occur just to make the story move forward "ie the entire plot of God of war Ragnarok", and established characters making uncharacteristic choices and actions without any development towards that change, "ie Luke Skywalker in the last Jedi and basically everyone in the last season of game of thrones".
And right he is! Just as often as I see some piece of old media that makes me go 'ouch, that shouldn't have been made or wouldn't have been made today' I also see some strangely progressive or rather inclusive stuff that makes me go 'huh, people would be complaining about forced inclusion and wokeness if this was released today'
Everything after season 4 of game of thrones was trash, it just got progressively worse each season as D&D had no accountability.

accountabilitymaterial to work with.I know it's fashionable to shit on D&D for their lack of writing skills, but they weren't hired to write, they were hired to adapt and they were decently good at it. George told them he'd have his material completed by the time they'd have to adapt it and he did not, yet I see very little of the blame attributed to the guy who just kind of gave up on finishing his story.
Everything after book 3 of game of thrones is amongst the worst books I've read, and obviously nothing but a guy stalling for time.
Understandable, every time I bear a bigot pissing and moaning about something being woke it makes me want to rip a horrific fart directly into their face.
You may wish to read the article.
I did read the article... Why do you think the parent commenter didn't?
Idk why but my brain automatically filled it to "porn me off" why did they censor piss?
