  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

You only have to look at any anti-woke review for a few seconds to figure out it's only ever racism, misogyny, and anti lgbtq hate. They aren't like ''This is why it's woke'' with some philosophical discussion, it straight up is ''there's a black in this game, that's wrong.''

This was very evident with Concord the week it shut down. People in the YT comments were inevitably blaming woke politics because it had an arguably diverse cast even though the trailer was one of the most bland, unimaginative and unpolished pieces of advertisement I've ever seen. Oh, but it was the blue haired people's fault for reasons! ๐Ÿ™„

I'm gonna get the quote wrong, so I wont even try, but some internet person basically said that any time there's a failure, the worse people will come out to claim it as a victory.

Game had cringe writing and was glitchy as hell? Oh, well it was the minority characters that caused it fail. Just ignore all the other games with minority characters that have succeeded.
