Like, Anime has always had a thing with more muscular women, but they were kinda voyeuristic with it more in the past. Now it just kinda happens, and you don't think about it unless someone in-universe points it out. Like the more they deal with international audiences and more producers are willing to indulge in niche fandoms, the more 'diverse' characters you are going to see. If their mere existence is being woke, everything will be woke before long, if it isn't already.
Yeah - I don't know how he did it, but this guy is making those people post thirst tweets about Empress Capital from Destiny look normal and well-adjusted. (Someone posted "Step on me" at the Destiny account during her "takeover" and "she" tweeted back "It is clear you seek my favour. I would caution you not to aspire to a challenge you could not hope to survive".)
It's funny because he's talking about wanting to feel immersed and represented in video games because the main character represents him which is literally what the people he hates have wanted this whole time
Yeah, it's genuinely unnerving listening to him just completely uncritically raising points the right has railed against relentlessly as recently as, say, a decade ago.
Yeah I don't get the argument. I got super invested into God of War Ragnarok and I'm not a buff God man on an adventure to save the world with my half God half giant son... Why can "people" like this guy only get invested in games where he can pretend he's the character?
@@zoeybourke9617 it's also funny because Kratos isn't white. He only looks white on the surface because of his curse. Unsurprisingly, that's enough for his "immersion".
@@vxicepickxv what you said is true. I just find it funny that he basically implies that black and brown people somehow don’t exist in Spain and that it’s a predominantly white region

Problem is people do not think dark skinned people exist in northern Africa.....for some reason. The iberian peninsula is well I am pretty sure anyone can see on a map where it is located. Not a shock brown and black people would be in that region.

Remembering how when preview art for Pokémon Violet came out last August and I happened to be on MAL forums there were grown adults crying that the series turned woke because the designs for obviously middle school age female characters were, you know, what an actual 11-14 year old would wear and not something out of an ecchi
Synthetic Man is living proof how the "culture" war and nature of online politics has rotten people's brain. Also it's funny that Synthetic Man put very buggy and unfinished game like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as one of his best games of 2022 after makes countless videos about him ranting on how a lot of modern games coming out broken and being unfinished at release XD
Because Synthetic Man is a hypocritical contrarian moron. Everything he says has to be contrary to the majority otherwise he won't feel special and won't get the attention he craves. Like he bitched about people being sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends, and proceeded to do a sponsorship with them and when people called him out for it he made every dumbass excuse you can think of to justify it while shitting on the people who criticized him. Dudes pathetic with a capital P
Bro got massively triggered over an all gendered bathroom in the Dead Space remake despite everything else about the remake being true to the original. If a bathroom that wasn't even integral to the story set you off, there's a good chance you were just looking for things to complain about
like what? they both just mean "all people" he's only mad that it says "gender" because apparently "the wokes" invented gender last night or something.
If you played the original youd know it was not an all gendered bathroom but a Unisex bathroom, not the same thing. One implies there are only 2 genders. Guess wich one they changed?
I have yet to watch this video but please don't tell me they criticize Rika as a "minority". She is literally just a woman with tomboyish traits. She is literally just vibing
I actually thought rika was a guy, and it didn't affect my gameplay negatively. I was too annoyed with the glitches and performance to care about gender blender.
Yeah Rika is just like a prototypical androgynous female character. She does nothing to draw attention to the fact she deliberately dresses in a vaguely masculine fashion, it's just something you glean from context with how she dresses and how everyone addresses her. Basically a more demure (and flat-chested because she's likely younger) version of Haruka from Sailor Moon.
Synthetic Man is one of those people who cry about "we can't make any jokes or express our opinions anymore" and then be the most offended person because of Space Lesbians.
Imagine being him. “I can play as a space engineer and fight mutant zombie aliens created by two moon sized viruses, but trans people? This game is unplayable.”
Synthetic Man is known for his bad takes with Doom Eternal DLC, God of War Ragnarok, and Dead Space remake. Also, certain Anti-SJW RU-vidrs like Mauler and Ryan Kinel have problems with him.
You can tell the dude has never touched grass. He opened his door, saw a black person walking down the sidewalk, and immediately went back inside to write a bad review of the street he lives on. He couldn’t even make it to the park.
wasn't this an excellent meme that used to circulate 4chan? panel 1: guy walking down the street panel 2: a black man walks by, and says hello politely. the guy walking shrinks away and says y-you too. panel 3: the guy goes home and goes on 4chan and says how this disgusting (thing i dont want to say) walked by him and smelled and etc etc great meme because there really are people like that.
its hilarious to see the chuds argue and froth about how god of war ragnarok made the norse gods woke when u have Loki being genderfluid and literally giving birth as a woman while also being a man, thor crossdressing to retirve his hammer and his beuty being comparable to Freya's when he does, and fucking ODIN the ALLFATHER becoming a woman to learn mystic arts known only to those who are women. The Aesir and Vainir were all queer gender-fluid and omnisexual as hell.
Even someone like me who only has done cursory explorations of the Norse pantheon realized that the ACTUAL portrayal the Norse Gods in the original texts are varied and wild as fuck. People really don't realize HOW dense and how fast-and-loose many cultures played with how their gods and higher beings were portrayed.
What chuds think Norse mythology is: [Cookie cutter misrepresentation of Roman mythology but with longer beards, heavy clothing and runes] What Norse Mythology actually is like: "Bro some guy has my axe, guess I've gotta become a woman to marry him and get it back"
Those people know absolutely nothing about norse mythology. One of them was raging about Angrboda's skin color in the game, claiming that she had to be white with red hair. When I asked them for a source, they posted a quote from a viking jewelry online shop....and even that quote didn't back up their claim.
I think what slays me is this idea that having a culturally diverse fantasy world is somehow something that requires explanation if it's not white. Why would a fantasy world need to explain why other skin tones exist? Shit's wild.

Fun fact: there is a character in Pokémon XY, Beauty Nova, that is canonically trans. That game came out in 2013. I recall feeling feelings when I came across her, and in the intervening decade I've come to understand why 😝🏳️⚧️

@@cattiston374 If I'm not mistaken, she even makes a comment implying she got sex reassignment surgery in the original Japanese version. This part was left out in the English version, but the translators still left enough to imply she's transgender.
I mean its pokemon. We had minorities in pokemon since day one. Fuckin Brock? Erika? Koga? Shit we had an issue with Jynx for a bit, glad that changed but it took like 3 years to do so. Plus pokemon games take place in settings analogous to real world countries, so I mean, we had diversity in pokemon since day fucking 1. We ACTUALLY had a major problem when Brock got replaced with Tracy, fuck Tracy. Idk why people are bitching about it now after 20+years into the franchise
Isnt almost everyone in the pokemon universe meant to be japanese? Cause if they are this guy is getting pressed about minorities in a game that is filled with non white people. Like dawg if you are that racist you shouldnt be playing pokemon
Didn't B/W have a Beauty/Swimmer trainer that heavily implied she was trans, too? I think she mentioned being a Black Belt, a trainer class that (in that game) seems to be full of only men.
Freya is so powerful that according to stanza 14 of Grímnismál in the Poetic Edda(think of it like the viking bible) she get's first pickings of half of every warrior killed in battle. She gets to handpick them before Odin and takes them into her own afterlife, separate from Valhalla. Not only that but in Gylfaginning Odin himself describes her as "the most glorious of the Æsir". Like yeah no shit she's more powerful than most of the men in that story, it's just being accurate.
Nothing made me realize the importance of diversity in games was when my best friend. (Who doesn’t really game past Mariokart) got really excited when her pokemon character’s mom was brown like her. Something so small that I’d never think about it as someone who plays games for mechanics, but for a casual it made her day.
big thing with diversity and representation is that it let's people of non-white groups feel like they can be significant within the storytelling landscape. in a world where white skinned characters are set as the default, and where deviating from that at all is seen as a political statement worth scrutinizing, it can be genuinely comforting to see a character that looks like you be allowed to exist in some important form within your favorite work of media. it shows that people like you are allowed to exist, allowed to do the fun and cool things you see happen in this story, and allowed to be more than a punchline for a throwaway gag.
@@TheMahayanistA lot of people, clearly. It's not requisite in any specific game, but it lacking in general clearly is a problem to some people, otherwise it wouldn't be talked about. When you, for example, are born belonging to a certain demographic that is treated by society as if it should not exist and then you don't see people like you represented properly in media, the message that is being sent becomes pretty hard to ignore. Representation is undeniably good because even if you don't personally care about it, there is no downside to it and there are people who will appreciate it. If you agree that prejudice exists and that minorities have gotten bad/insufficient representation, then representation for them existing is objectively good. If you don't believe either of those things, then you are denying reality. And if you do believe those things are true and you're fine with it, then you're just kind of a douchebag. To anyone with a normal moral compass, this isn't a "both sides bad" situation.
Basically, people want to feel like it's possible for someone who looks or is in like them in some way to be the protagonist of the story, and that's okay. Even if they don't admit it directly, anti sjws know how important this is too, which is why they get mad at the idea of changing some of their favorite white male characters. Because then *they* start feeling like their being erased. Edit: Even though nothing is being changed about the original versions of these characters, their the same characters, just different appearances and possibly different back stories.
..this guy would probably *love* WarHammer 40K, right up until the moment he found out that it was a satire. Then he'd probably make an hour long video talking about how he's going to be burning his army because it turns out this was "woke mind control" from the beginning.
He would most likely be mad that the setting is not pure white the imperium being a human supremacist society. Humanity pretty much got past the whole hating each other because of skin color. They hate xenos mutants and heretics.
Does bro not know that rap was literally invented by black people and that if they made a character a rapper it would be culturally appropriate to make them black? She isnt even portrayed in a racist way she is just a older cool woman who raps. Thats fucking awesome

They have a wide variety of personalities and roles in the series.
@@HACSSuperbMiner I like how not only do we have dark skinned characters, we're getting more dark skinned phenotypes that aren't just a rough approximation of "African". The more I see all nationalities and ethnicities represented in fiction, the better I say.
Yeah no genuinly, Pokemon have kinda been hitting it out of the park with character designs in recent gens. Gen 8 especially had some fantastic character designs.

When characters in Japan are Japanese but have white features -> totally legit When a character in a European setting dares to have a skin tone that’s a tiny shade darker than white -> “wtf dude! These woke gaming studios are totally being inauthentic to European culture! They need to stop being so political in muh gah damn video games!” These people are absolutely insane. White actors/models have been replacing PoC characters for countless years. And most of the time when they do it, it’s been in a denigrating way (blackface, yellow face, and the like), and/or done with actual historical figures as opposed to fictitious characters that were supposed to be amorphous. These people will claim “it’s not racist, I just want to be faithful to the historical setting, Poland is a white country” (actual takes I’ve heard in response to Witcher). And yet when a character named Shinzo Suzuki who is supposed to be 100% ethnically Japanese looks like your typical Scandinavian, it’s crickets from them. Like I didn’t hear any of these talking points about the Persona games. To these people, a PoC or female major character can only possibly be a political statement.

Vikings in that period, they really didn't care about "race". Talking about race blindness, they were probably genuinely closest to that than anyone since. There were plenty of dark skinned people embedded in their society and their skin color was objectively irrelevant. Darker skin was just something that didn't really matter, which makes sense, pretty much everyone they met outside the Nordics was of darker skin than they were. They were literally many more levels obsessed with how you kept your hair than with the color of your skin.
And how well you can fight/how well you could trade. They cared about that too. Because Viking describes both raiders and merchants. People who just went out there
If woke just means "any progressive ideals" then anything you don't specifically believe in as a conservative is "woke," which means the word means nothing.

Forspoken is called "woke," when it doesn't even bring up any sort of specific progressive values for the time. It has a brown-skinned female protagonist, who is INSUFFERABLE and who I'd never want to join or follow along on an adventure. She is constantly complaining for much of the journey and to her partner, and actively refuses to care about anyone or change even when she's being actively praised for her actions of killing monsters. She says "I thought I was a hero for a minute" after temporarily losing powers, but nothing previously indicates this. But "woke?" No, it's not. It's just inconsistent and the world is dull. The critic's complaint is that he can't see himself in a black woman, missing "escapism". The truth is he just wants to escape from nonwhite people.

This guy is really something i mean Dead Space remake is too woke for him? A game set in 2500 where humans are pretty much united under a single government but when they change some posters to show black people or make the female characters look like actual real people instead of barby dolls that breaks his immerson and is too much? Quick some call the wambulance!
also the trans flag brought up in a hat in time is actually REALLY hard to find if you arent intentionally looking for it and you have to point your camera in a certain direction to even see it. ive played through the dlc a lot and from my memory you never see it in normal gameplay, i could be wrong though either way a stupid thing to get mad at. so many people were angry at it when the dlc first came out too it was so annyoing.
Nah, he’s the kind of kid that would yell “No one cares!” while 2 people are talking normally. He’s the kind of guy to go on a fetish site and call every post cringe before getting kicked out because he couldn’t mind his business.
@@awatf8244 As someone with a Devaintart account and encounters multiple fetishes and just ignores it. I know what you mean. People who do that are the same kind of people who take NNN way too seriously and ask if your awake after waking you up. Being annoying because they don’t have anything else to do.
@@jacksonhopp2003 don't worry, they are probably 13 years old, i remember myself going to femboy channels when i was 13 and spreading hate to them for no reason. I was bored and i needed to seek atention
Worse than that, he doesn’t want any aspect of reality he didn’t preapprove subtly show up. Existence itself is a creeping cosmic horror in his HP-ass mindset.
As a trans man the things he said about Tran women completely blew my mind. How can someone say that and not recognize how hateful that is. (Also why do trans women get so much more hate then trans men? As a trans man I noticed I tend to just get turned into a confused child by right wing media, so why do trans women get turned into monsters and groomers by right wingers?)
For right wingers, it is very much focused on men, i.e. themselves. It is mostly a male oriented ideology. This is why they focus on trans women, as they fear being attracted to them. The same is true for homosexuality, it focuses mostly on the male part and not lesbianism, as that is what they can identify with and fake being repelled by. You might get confused by right wing media, but be aware, confusion is their entire purpose. Confusion and fear, i.e. deflection and misdirection. It does not make sense, and that's the point. It is a safety blanket for the insecure and bigoted...
Trans women are in the media more, so they get more exposure compared to trans men (both positive and negative exposure). So a lot of people just ignore trans men. Some people don't even know trans men exist. Us people in the LGBT community refer to that sort of thing as erasure. Happens to other groups too (bi people, non-binary people, asexuals, and aromatics get that treatment too sometimes).
Easy trans women get more hate because they hate gay people and they equate the two. Lesbians also tend to get less hate as well as bisexuals and asexuals. It's fascinatingly bigoted. Be safe friend.
I always find it weird that gamer gate dudes love shit with like elves, dwarfs, monsters, goblins, mutants, aliens, and all kinds of absurdly diverse races and creatures, but god forbid a buff woman or a gay black person exist in a video game...
@@laplumemobile Probably. And it depends on the creature. Fantasy creatures portrayed as "good" or good natured tend to have lighter skin or white skin, while "evil" creatures tend to be darker (and have broad features, ironically enough, re: orcs).
Don't show that guy Splatoon or else he'll probably explode.. No seriously: - Strong female lead - variety in skin tone - most of the lore is about race war - in the second game's DLC you play as this world's version of a minority literally just trying to flee a dictature - the third game's themes are literally Anarchy and acceptance and Cultural mixture - Two important female characters are obviously in love (Never been confirmed in game but Nintendo did post a picture of them for Valentine's day) -The community is extremely open to people with disabilities and people that are from the LGBTQ+ community. Yeah, he would absolutely go ape shit over Splatoon... If he didn't already
I am surprised he did not mention A Hat in Time has a major character who is a little girl with a prominent moustache. She just has it and nobody in the game questions that this little girl can grow a moustache.
Ohh no a game about Trans issues made by a Trans person how dare they make a game about their life in an abstract concept. Oh no not the all gender bathrooms I'm weak.
Dude really said Far Cry is a perfect escapist fantasy... didn't one of the games have you confront the fact that you ended up killing loads of people to get what you want?
you've really gotta wonder why synthetic man is obsessed with escapism when his takes on games being ''cartoonishly diverse'' clearly show that he doesn't go outside
"waa waa waa i'm so racist i can't play video games anymore because they put a black woman in it! they even let her speak! immersion destroyed. i am very rational."
