Comment on Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread)

Well, this is a discussion thread, and I found some shit I need to discuss, although not with the game itself directly, but with “fans” and other G*mers:
This chucklefuck is actually getting some attention and people agree with them. The human race is fucked if the average person thinks like this on a daily basis. I’m not sure what’s worse; the out in the open bigotr, or the fact that they’re apparently okay with the current administration turning the government a completely fascist regime, or let alone they think this administration is “too soft” on perceived entertainment slights.
Like why does reality have to be so shit?

One is specifically tied to the other. These people are being manipulated into being right wing pro-authoritarian voters because of “woke” blah blah blah. It’s always their boogie man because it has been made part of their identity, it’s part of the victim complex they have and they feel like “free speech warriors” when they fight against it… It’s fucking disgusting.

G*mers are so far gone I’m not sure we can save them at this point.

All this text and I still don’t know what he’s complaining about

Yeah, I’m very confused. Maybe his favourite mod got banned or something?
Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Maybe it was something like a word-swap mod to change “type 1/type 2” to “male/female” that got banned?
No clue. /s

People like that are incredibly shallow. I’m probably going to get shit for this, but it also exists on both sides.
Example; Kingdom Come Deliverence 2:
Before the game’s launch it was getting pasted by certain people for “repeating the same mistakes as the first one” in regards to diversity.
Then it turned out the game has one gay romance option, and I think one briefly encountered North African merchant. Now it’s getting pasted by other types of people for being “woke.”
Goes to show that such loud-mouths get greatly effected by the smallest kinds of tokenism. So if course just changing the text in a menu is going to be such a big deal!

I don’t get it. Is Bethesda preventing people from making sexy body replacer mods for Newblivion? People have been making those since Morrowind. Is that what this guy is on about?

Mods like “replace all black people” get banned from Nexus for obvious reasons.
SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
I don’t think people were ever making mods like that. If they were, fuck 'em.

Everyone gains collective amnesia about all the good times they had playing/modding Bethesda games whenever they’re in the news cycle for some reason. It’s kind of fascinating/frustrating.
Add in the fact that a lot of these people have regressed over the past 10 or so years to the point where they think like 12-13 year olds again, and we get this whole “anti-woke gamer” bullshit.
To be completely fair though, I had to go out of my way to find people shitting on the game for even being “woke” in the first place. I saw the type 1/type 2 body type when I was making my character, but I just figured it was a natural progression since every other game with a character creator in the last 5 years has done away with gendered body types, and Oblivion is such a classic that it might have been overlooked; sadly not. In my head though (also because duh, it’s obvious if you use your eyes) I ascribe each to male or female, and it took me like a second to get through that entire thought process.

Ok but I did lol at pulling of a complete submersion. Also, it’s a little funny that they seem to know at some level that this ideology will piss off their wives/gf (as they wrote), but still advocate doing it. I guess all their wives and gfs must be woke? Or maybe women are too woke and therefore they never had wives and gfs to begin with?
The sentiment here is obviously terrible but at least there can be a laugh at how stupid it is. I mean…its so full of typos how could you ever think this person is trustworthy

This doesn’t deserve to be the top post here. Let those morons have their miserable ragebait while the rest of us enjoy a fun video game
