eezeebee ( @eezeebee@lemmy.ca ) English42•4 months agoElden Ring already has gender fluidity, a strong female POC, people with physical and mental disabilities, and homosexual implications. “Wokeness” should be the least of their concerns about what Sony could do to From.

As if choosing your player character’s gender hasn’t been a common thing in video games for decades
tmyakal ( @tmyakal@lemm.ee ) 11•4 months agoDark Souls 2 has a mechanic to swap your character’s gender whenever you want to. From is already okay with genderfluid protagonists.

Lux (it/they) ( @Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English11•4 months agoWhat if from software makes a character that’s biologically male, but gets raised as a woman because of his moon powers? That would be so woke.
araneae ( @araneae@beehaw.org ) 3•4 months agoWhat if From Software made a chracter who can swap sexes at will but struggles with two mutually antagonizing personalities and made them the main boss of their next game? That would be so woke.
Commiunism ( @Commiunism@beehaw.org ) 8•4 months agoI mean, I get it - as a gamer myself, when buying a new title I don’t really care about things like if the game is fun or good or has a healthy community/playerbase, these things don’t matter.

Oh no, now I am using pronouns! The woke people have corrupted my mind!
