I'll never understand woke games
Like any woman, no matter how many male hormones she takes will ever be able to do any of those things. It's insanely immersion breaking to have to play a female while, the whole time shaking my head thinking... "Yeah, right".

Give people the option to select male characters. I"m not saying that's not the case here, but all the videos showcase a woman.

Not trying to be sexist, just realistic.

EDIT: Nobody dislikes women. Nobody is saying women aren't equal. I'm just saying that generally speaking women aren't on the same level physically as men and that seeing a 100lb woman swinging a 30lb sword around and carrying a 60lb shield while rolling around in 150lbs of armor and blocking attacks from monsters 800x their size isn't realistic and it's very immersion breaking. That's all.

"cybernetic implants" aren't going to allow you to do any of those things either because they are based on size and have limitations just like muscles. Plus if they were really that good then all the bad guys would have them too and we're back to square one.

Good luck finding any human being able to do that :)
The only real woke mindvirus is giving a flying duck about things being woke.
Ignore it and move on and be healthy.

This entire post is pure misogyny, disguised as "being realistic".

You're talking about video games, the vast majority of which aren't based in reality at all...

I don't care.
Let me enjoy my "very woke" tomb raider franchise, no need to turn her into tom braider because you think it's unrealistic for a woman to raid tombs.

Go play that indiana jones game if you'd rather see a guy do all that.

You're looking for realism in video games?
If we had realism in video games FPS's would be the most miserable genre to play. WIth platformers being a close second

No. You're being sexist.
Because you're using realism as an argument in a context where realism is suspended as a rule.

If you can believe half the ♥♥♥♥ male characters are shown doing and surviving in games is 'realistic', then the idea of a woman doing those things is less of stretch of reality.

So we know its nonsense anyway but a quick google search reveals platemail is up to 55 pounds and the average 2 foot diameter shield is about 8 pounds. Way off the figures quoted.

It wasn't woke. Didn't try to force anything down people's throats. No blatant messaging. No trying to trans your kid. It was just a RPG.

Misogyny is a myth.

Not according to the people whining on the forums on launc habout how woke it was for using body types, for letting you choose your pronouns, for Dame Aylin. They were specifically claiming it was woke and that it was going to crash and burn. It did not so they changed their tone.

Except there was no outrage. Literally, everyone was just on about how good it was. You're making up boogeymen again.

They do like to change the narrative when evidence shows them as the crybabies they are :)

2+ year old account that hasn't made a single $5+ purchase on Steam complaining about the offered games. Right.

Sorry, no awards.

They do like to make ♥♥♥♥ up in their heads when they have no evidence of anything.
