No one wants to play as a black samurai
No one wants to play as a woman samurai
When will these silly American companies learn?
There’s so many samurai games on the market now you can’t afford fuck ups like this.

Brokeback Mountain is one of my favorites. Genuinely touched by the sentiments and struggles of the guys.
I haven't yet seen a single video game that promotes DEI to depict the same sex affection in a mature , proud, or even just genuine way. They are all fucking brain rotted gen z craps.

Yeah, I think this is the best way to approach it. People are seeing certain flags and that's fine, but conclusive evidence is really required before making a judgment. We all know what to look for, but we have yet to see it for GoY after all.

If you're trying to make an authentic Japanese samurai game that represents that era as acurately as possible then your character is Japanese man, period. If instead you're using an NBA player or a LGBT woman, it's because you have an agenda to push.

Hehehe did Gaf think the people who worked on Veilguard would just...stop making games? Face it its either Japanese anime or chinese soulsborne knockofs forevermore if you cant handle the woke.

And I think the GoT team leadership not changing is really important here. These new writers are taking direction from the existing leads.
The main character is a straw hat, not a samurai. I think that is correct anyway, going by the reveal.

That is impossible. DEI is not genuine; it's a mandate, and that reflects on the end product. and the fucked up thing is that genuine /great stuff is put in the DEI/Woke garbage. That culture fucked everything up.

Nonbinary tran lesbian sets out to kill all the wrong think feudal lords and spread the new progressive gospel of queer throughout the land. Climb towers to mark all the cis straights and strongholds of toxic masculinity on your HUD and map, regions turn to rainbow flags on the map as you conquer the copy pasta open world.

Female warriors did exist in Japan, there's detailed records about them. I have some skepticism about this game too, but I'll need more information on agenda pushing than what we saw in the trailer.

It’s the first time I feel good for hating open world games after missing on soooooooo many pretty looking games over two generations. WHO’S LAUGHING NOW? Fuck you, loose design-no directed progression-inexistent game direction cunts!

Completely irrelevant if she's a true samurai or a ronin.

Once it was revealed who the protag VA was, you knew it was doomed. My expectations are very low.

Bros I got so upset that after reading this that I threw my phone through the window of the grocery store.
Fortunately it still works. Am I’m back of squad car now, they are taking me somewhere (why?) and using voice to text to type this. But it got me wondering, “What does a video game writer even do?”

You forgot the attempted mansplaining she has to endure from male enemy samurai she encounters throughout her journey. She is able to deflect most of it by letting them know that she is "literally shaking right now" and threatening to report them to the shogun.

Pretty sure, Sony made the call. Cannot imagine Sucker Punch was unhappy with the original writing team and thought, these are really good writers.
Could be they hired them before it was known how bad the writing in Veilguard is, but if they still stuck to these writers after Dragon Age bombed, I hope they have someone overlooking and approving the written material.

If it’s done well and like design then I would say why not…..I don’t care about the sex or the race all I care about if the character has good design and like his/her character development.
I don’t like the idea of limiting devs what should or shouldn’t make in their own game.

Both of those articles have flowery language.
And the first one is from a company that offers a course in crystal healing (only £15!), and the second one is from a Japanese snack importer...

Ghost of Tshushima got super popular due to the artstyle, cool movements and wild animals (foxes). Social media was flush with cool takedowns and photos.
This one will too, all they have to make it just bigger and more cooler. That's it. Writing? won't matter. Story, eh hardly if the art and gameplay elements are cool, we cool, internet cool, money cool, I'm cool.

Guess we'll all find out together. But if they focused on gay shit and not cool shit, that will be known very soon.

It'll be woke. Look who the actress is they hired. You dont hire someone like this as a lead character in a game unless the writers want to use the sexuality overtones baked into the game.
Look at this retard.
I checked her X profile out and she is a strange person... Very odd person 40 years old behaves like she's a teenager in a 3 way relationship

Can't you see that on the painting they are good looking and busty? I mean boobs. In the game version their children would DEI from starvation.
This is nothing new, mate. Here is a painting depicting lesbian sex from ancient Japan. "Woke" has become a very loose term now and is now applied anything resembling modern world politics against conservative viewpoint.

I did a quick investigation via Moby Games/LinkedIn/Twitter/BlueSky to see where's there the full DA Veilguard writing staff is:
I also researched where each member of the Ghost of Tsushima 1 writing team is now:
- Narrative Director: at Bioware, currently Senior Narrative Director
- Principal Narrative Designer: at Bioware
- Lead Writer: looking for a job since 3 days ago, uses they/them pronouns
- Writers:
- 2 at Sucker Punch, the mentioned ones in the OP
- 2 at Motive
- 2 looking for a job
- 1 I don't know but recently deleted her LinkedIn page
- Minimum 3 other Bioware writers not credited in the game, looking for a job since 3 days ago
I also researched where each member of the Ghost of Tsushima 1 writing team is now:
- 1 Lead left to work in Netflix and as freelance, later became narrative director of the As Dusk Falls studi
- 1 Lead continues at Sucker Punch
- 1 Senior moved in 2021 Monolith (WB), now is Narrative Lead at Cloud Chamber (2K)
- 1 Senior moved last year to become Principal Writer at That's No Moon
- 1 writer left in 2020, worked in KOTOR remake and now is senior writer at Bordelands 4
- 1 additinal writer not sure where he is now, before working in GoT did work in ME Andromeda
- 1 additional writer left to become freelance, worked the first two years of the game in Concord, now is Senior Writer and Loremaster at Zenimax Online

I'm not denying that there were female warriors in Japan.
I was just pointing out that you could have found some better sources.

If they left bioware on those dates they already wrote on Andromeda and vielguard. 2023 is way too late to 'disagree' on direction. They contributed to the writing. And seeing as their is not a single line of dialogue or section of story that is decent in these games, it's fair to say these two are part of the problemWe are talking about two people who left Bioware in 2020 and 2023. How the hell do you know what they wrote? As far as you know they left because they disagreed with the direction of the game. Do you care? They worked on Veilguard is all that matters, right?
Reminds me of another politician....

Come on man, they mostly are. I like your posts and I know you're not one of the hardened defenders of woke stuff, and you know, or at least I'd hope you do as long as I've been around here, that I don't post a ton but I try to be objective man. I'm not trying to rile shit up, but that list of their work is mostly woke stuff, it just is. Not all of it, but yeah the majority for sure. I get you're excited about the game, I hope it's good for your sake, but we can't pretend that this person's political biases aren't worn on their sleeve and are certainly a valid concern for the welfare of the project. This isn't culture wars, and it's not a witch hunt, I adamantly disagree with you on that. Usually you're much less biased and defensive, so I think you're just really hoping this games gonna be great, and hey I get that man, no worries bro.

Hope sony is not a scapegoat for these idiots
You all have some "look at this bitch eating crackers" hate for some people. I don't actually know that person but that clip was some nerds roleplaying a game trying to have a good time. She was meant to be menacing/creature-like, that was the point.
