Trench Crusade Goes Full Woke - Bans All Politics EXCEPT LGBTQ Politics 

Its simple. They classify anything they agree with as the norm and anything they don't as political.

The consequences of WOKE have been a disaster for human culture.

If it has a flag, it's political. 🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧

They've acted so anti-gamer it's ridiculous for a pre-launch product. The hubris.

>Creates explicitly Christian product "Gods cool with homosexuality though, right?"

Identity POLITICS is politics.

There goes yet another game destroyed by the Chaos wokies.

TC Devs: bans politics Also, TC devs: promots identity politics.

By default, I exclude LGBT people from all my gaming groups. Any gaming group that does not lives on borrowed time.

This game was still-born: Aborted by the Gaystapo way before it could be born. Such a shame as I liked the aesthetic and lore.

I swear these companies just INSIST on SAVING me money. Before this I WAS interested in the game, now I'm not.

Trench Crusade simply isn't worth fighting for. What little that has actually been made was made by people who hate you for people who hate you. There's no copyright on the themes that caught our imagination, so why doesn't someone making 3d prints come up with legally distinct lore and forget Trench Crusade ever existed?

They’ll say all that stuff isn’t political but in the same breath when you point out you don’t want real world politics they’ll say “everything is political.” Pretty interesting definition of the word “everything.”

Acceptable speech isn't considered political. Unacceptable speech is considered political. Got it.

TC devs: **given a golden opportunity to become the next big thing** Also TC devs: **wipe their asses with it in order to pander to people who won't ever actually buy their game**

Why the fuck are people even making a fan discord, make your own games and services away from these people, this game deserves to fail

recently my boss added the question do you use pronounces in the recruitment , i asked him why he would do that becouse he is a conservatist and he just said: so i can filter out unwanted political motivated workers.

Trench Crusade did kill itself. And I don't feel bad. The creator did that to himself, if he's willing to throw away an opportunity for success like that then he doesn't deserve any.

So to them it isn't politics, it's "the way things are". That explains a lot.

Trench crusade? More like Trans crusade! Am i right? Am I right? ... I'll let myself out..

Maybe the Christians had a point about the rainbows.

If you have your own flag, and it flies above government structures...it's political.

"Sexuality and race arent political" "I'm a proud straight white male" "wait no"

They are the very fascists they are looking for.

Well, I told my friend that I’d keep him updated on trench crusade and it looked promising at the time but now, judging by the looks of it, the update I give him next is going to have some very bad news. Such disappointing wasted potential.

>Create Grimdark fantasy with hyper religious and gruesome lore >Activly seek and destroy anyone and everyone who is interested in it >????????? >Profit(?)

**laughs in closed wallet**

Arch, you are mistaken. You state that they are either "malicious' or 'ignorant'. While those two options are valid possibilities, it must be said that a third option is possible. They could be malicious AND ignorant. I just call them 'leftist bigots'. Combined ignorance and malice is a common characteristic among leftist bigots.

Strangled in the crib. Oh well.

"Spreading Christian communist ideas" Loosely quoting JBP: "If you identify as a Christian and a Marxist, you prove that you know absolutely nothing about neither Christianity _nor_ Marxism."

Rainbow privilege.

Trench crusade is DOA now. I was going to check this game out as an alternative to Gays Wokeshop. That game just rode the gay pride float far away from my wallet.

Oh well, luckily the "WW2 Templars fighting Demons" is not exactly something copyrightable, so we can just take it for ourselves.

I hope Helldivers 2 is looking over and taking notes on what NOT to do here.

“Anarchist and communist are tired of the churches bad decisions.” Bruh, did they not even read the fucking lore?!?

Trench Crusade has got to be the biggest example of fundamentally misunderstanding your own products appeal.

Being a tradcath I have a lot to say about Trench Crusade. I do like many of the overarching concepts and aesthetics. The pilgrims are based, New Antioch is based, the raw devotion and uncompromising fanaticism is based. But the execution of the theology here completely wrong. Now I know the creators of this setting are definitely not theologians, and it wouldn't be an issue if they didn't literally put Catholicism in the game, but as it is I think I and others need to say something. As someone in the chat pointed out in the last Archcast, this whole "Meta-Christ" business is completely blasphemous. We condemn human cloning in the first place, so to attempt to clone Our Lord (presumably using the result of a Eucharistic miracle) is beyond unthinkable and wouldn't be done under any circumstance. Further, I believe there was something about the paladins being perfect clones of Him, and one is apparently female. You see a maybe not so subtle "Jesus is trans" thing there? No bueno. Also, the idea that eating His Flesh would turn you into a deformed mutant freak is another strike. It's conceivable that He might grant a pious soul heightened strength, speed, endurance, intellect, or perception, but would not twist the body into deformity. If the "Communicants" were altered by some other means, this wouldn't be so egregious. Lastly, if the world of Trench Crusade were to be reality, we Catholics simply wouldn't be nearly so extremely macabre as we are being depicted, for the simple reason that it would not be necessary. Naked nuns bearing Stigmata and running around covered in blood just serves no purpose. You would have a lot of openly flagellant penitents yes, but none of this shock value BS. The heck of it is, I want to like this setting but with these issues I cannot in good conscience participate in it. I will be monitoring its development and how it affects the culture wars however. And this setting could be salvaged with some of these issues changed and made to where they actually make sense in the context of genuine Catholic faith. But as it is, the creators of the game are - as Arch has indirectly elucidated here - real life agents of the Heretic Legions. The communists have no need of a separate faction, for communism is indeed just one cohort of said Heretic Legions.

They know exactly what they're doing. There is no ignorance in what they do. They know full well they're stamping you out.

Trench crusade is a setting about christianity and islam have an uneasy alliance to fight the forces of hell. ... then a jewish person entered the scene (discord) and screwed it. Aint that a kick in the head?

"May the woketh beget the broketh" as it is written, so it shall be done.

Animal farm all over again.

Trench Crusade hitting the get woke go broke speedrun record.

Sexuality is not inherently political. Claiming to stand with a particular Organised "Community" *IS* political.

This is why a bunch of people, including myself are forming a group to, and I quote: "provide the necessary infrastructure to enable our side to create genuine and feasible alternatives to help combat the woke - from video games to Vtubers, we want to build the parallel ecosystem and economy needed to secure victory." We have a guy good with words. Helps alot. It's a small group at the moment, but we're slowly building it up. Would like to invite Arch, but his DM's are verified-only, but that's fine. Arch can join in at his own leisure.

Why would I want to give Trench Crusade one drop of additional time, attention and money when they have OFFICIALLY staked a position and chosen a side? The side that openly and proudly hates fans.

There are Boeing whistleblowers with longer life expectancy than Trench Crusade.

I'm glad I don't have to waste my money on LGBTQ+ Crusade

Their world building is already crumbling? Serves them right; they gave the inch and the whole mile was taken from them. I will save my tears for those who at least try to resist.

The demons from hell have won.

Just don't buy that s*. Let them be with the audience they chose, and see if they get them any money.

Anarcho communism is even less realistic than regular communism and that's a very high bar.

Funny thing, that Trench Crusade would put forward anarchism or communism since I don't see Karl Marx living in this universe. But whatever consistency was never for these people. 😂 And remember : " Evil does not create, it only corrupts" And as you've said in a past video : " Always assume malice"

They need to start giving free helicopter rides again.

whelp, know where to not spend my money now. Thank you Arch.

To be fair, everything they do is political because they hold the position that everything is political, and the threat of their allies turning on them forces them to at least partially practice that, like not buying certain brands, liking certain things, etc.

Anarchists (of any flavor) are amusing. Anarchy is not a natural human state. We instinctively form social structures and hierarchies. Which they should be thankful for. Because in a state of anarchy most anarchists would have an extremely hard time.

How do they penetrate into every organization so effectively?

"Gender is a social construct" "Gender is not political" ...choose one? Oh, who am I kidding...

The amount of damage done to the entertainment industry by these people has got to be measured in the trillions at this point.

Anything or anyone who associates with 28Mag is a lefty bad actor. This is not surprising.

The worst of this is that trying to get into smaller groups of TC, is that everyone is now wary and unfriendly when it comes to lore questions. I tried asking for clarification on what factions could exist (literally nothing I said was trying to insert anything remotely w0ke or even based) and I got hard gatekept. Which I guess I should praise, but they’ll lose their hobby to the w0ke anyways

Soviet Union and christian socialism... very interesting and arrogant the same time.

Oh boy the developer failed to identify and target the correct demographic for their product. Only just learned of its existence but the setting and art was cool to me, ah well.

No politics allowed! Opposing baby murder (abortion) is not political, it is the stance of any decent person. Two can play at that game

Stillborn in the wrong word to describe this situation. Coat hangar abortion is a better term. Not gonna fight for a yet to release game when I gotta fight for Battletech.

The only possible way for ignorance to could come into play is if they're a non western company

It's funny how these people act like PDFs and 3D printers aren't a thing yet..

So if i go there and say: gender affirming surgery should be illegal unter 21 its ok because no politics???

Hanlon's Razor no longer applies. Always assume malice, even when the corruption can be explained by ignorance.

Trench Crusade should be renamed to Trans Crusade. Would make a lot more sense

Im truly starting to believe that 31 December 2012 was the end and now where in some type of hell😂

Watching the brain cancer spread through something that nobody cares about is a novel change, at least.

"Rules for thee, as decreed by me!"

I've pretty much started enforcing a sort of ban as when I run TTRPG's, I have put a 'No Current Thing political rubbish' at the table during session (outside is fine). I've had a few drop out, but it's made things a bit more efficient and enjoyable for the remaining players

The old Hanlon's razor says: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence." In my life so far I have learned that it is simply not true - malice is FAR more prevalent than you might imagine.

the rot is already in, the second they hesitated to burn it they had already lost themselves

...aaaaaaand it's dead.

Thank God wokes aren't as clever or patient as their puppet masters. SOP has been to pretend to be neutral, then side with the alphabets after the player base is invested.

as a gay guy only thing I can conclude is I am absolutely grateful I never got in with the rainbow mafia. It looked fun and inclusive when I was young now I see it was just a cult.

that good we know they're woke sooner than later.

It's the age old refrain at this point. Your politics are politics, our politics is just being a decent person. (And there's *nothing* political about being a decent person, enemy-kun.)

Christianity is the only real defence against this.

Go Woke, Go Broke Ignorance is not a defence. When you say No politics except this topic of politics........... No politics is No politics.

Amusing how a Christian theme fiction, not want politics except the rainbow tribe. I'm guessing the creators of this Crusade Trench, not much Christian in real life.

“Despite all these preparations, it is a grim reality that New Antioch could never withstand the full onslaught of the combined Woke forces.”

Me think the Troll Crusade is about to begin. On all fronts.

I swear, wokism feels like demonic logic

“Opressive Tolerance” sounds 1:1 spot-on 😂

Are you sure they didn't misspell EXTRLRGBBQ+?

Seems like Trench Crusaders are on track to meet the Dodo.

Saying identity *politics* isn't politics is something only a woke ideologue would say.

Never attribute stupidity to what is clearly MALICE. NO ONE has any excuse to not know in todays day and age. They know exactly what they are doing and it has been INTENTIONAL FOR DECADES!

At least it's nice of the developers to tell us in advance that they don't want any customers. This is fair.

At this point I have to ask... Are all community managers just woke? I mean I haven't heard anything good from any community managers by business. Helldivers? They fired the one person who apologized when he found out that PSN will ban you if you use a VPN to make a PSN account. In fact the community makes it a point to separate the CMs from Arrowhead studio as they view the CMs as simply an extension of Sony. And now we get an official discord... Which is left leaning and banning anyone who doesn't agree... And a fan discord... Which does it's job. Are all offical community managers having a monopoly on who is and isn't allowed to be one for any business related stuff?

It's wild because a lot of meme sites have promoted this as a "if you like warhammer 40k but don't like woke politics" try this game. It's like Blackrock are hunting down anything that normal fans gravitate around

The "no politics (demands agreement to a political stance in the next sentence)" hypocrisy is one of the oldest for these worms.

Why would you even need to bring your sexuality into a wargame... I had the same thought with the trans character in the new book. Like, when have I ever heard another 40k character address what is in their pants.

Dude, I was getting into W40k lore then the female Custodes came along. Got out. Then saw Trench Crusade, got the initial interest. Then again, the flag of Chaos ruined it all. Oh well, going for the OG IP I guess, my imagination. 🤙😂

The Squatters ruined another good real estate.

If you payed them... charge back.
