Grifters gonna grift. This is exactly what the grifter wants and will drive them more traffic, but it's still great to see a dev clap back.

It's definitely great to see a developer triggered by language in a thumbnail, not watch the video, attack a creator defending his game, and continue to generate negative attention. Wait....

REV is a straight and married dude. Just uses an anime girl avatar as his brand. His one of the biggest "anti woke" youtubers that report alot of stuff regarding anime and games.

Can't trust a man behind an anime girl waifu avatar.
The absolute irony of the masses of anti-woke peoples following this is mind boggling

They missed out watching the Monday night wars, it's all I can think of
The problem ain't the game. You can be as gay as you want to be in BG3. You can have basically any combination of body parts to go with that. And, everyone is just fine with that game. People love that game. I'm not seeing a ton of posts and outrage about that game. Especially when all of this drama is over a game that hasn't released yet.

People on youtube are such losers that will make everything for a click, it's not about this game only, i'm sure KCD2 will do fine and will be awesome.

If the other party is literally spewing Nazi shit, no need to stay polite.Well for me that is applicable in real life interaction like arguments and self defense, but in business, for me, it is different were customers and fans must be listened too and be patient and be humble with them to earn there trust ( and there money ). As they always say in business, the customer is always right.

No, no, we have a super reputable source (some random in Saudi Arabia) that said there is unskippable gay hot and steamy sexy time. Let’s get our pitchforks out!

Either way, this vara dark nerdy chick is still a grifter. Her reputation proceeds her. She has more video about culture war bs than videos that spread postive news about gaming. Her channel is infested with arguing about what is woke or isnt. I had to use blocktube on her ass, because Im sick of hearing this about this type of stuff.
i like vara but some of her videos i go that is not that woke come on girl.

I think Vavra needs to get off social media for a bit. Seems like the YouTuber was DEFENDING the game, and Vavra hadn’t even watched the video.

What the fuck is even happening with this game? Are they trying to play both sides in culture wars or something? lol

I don't know. Half of me feels like Vavra is still based, somehow even more now and the other half feels like he's gone off the deep end, bent knee to Embracer DEI and being deceitful about what's in the game. I don't know what to feel anymore, but I can't get enough of the whole story.

No, he isn't trans. He is a married dude who's literally using the "it's a trap" trope. Something which was kinda popular in anime for some time.
Fate's Astolfo for example, or Felix from ReZero. There're dozens of these characters.
Rev is still a lolcow, though.

I feel sorry for all the good, honest, non-woke developers who got baited for easy access to DEI money during peak woke/DEI era from 2018-2022 because they’re desperate for funding. This is just one of the example
Its one thing when the developers themselves are woke activists like those in California or US West Coast or woke countries like UK, Canada, Netherland/Belgium, it’s another thing when small or Eastern European developers who need money and the only easy way for them to get a loan is from rich globalist banks with tons of DEI conditions (games must feature multi-racial characters, multi-genders or sexual preferences, woke dialogues, etc)
I think the game is woke, but it’s being forced upon the developer by their financiers
So here we are….

Yeah, I watched the video too and Rev was defending Warhorse - saying more information was required before jumping to conclusions and things like that. I'm not sure why Vavra pinpointed his video, but it's like he only looked at the title and just went from there.

Soooo many grifters. You can usually tell just by the way they talk. That dumb monotone influencer voice and fake excitement that lacks any discernable sense of interest in the topic they're discussing. Simply going through the motions to get a paycheck. They're even worse than the things they criticize. I Immediately click "not interested" whenever I spot one. Absolute trash. Asmongold is probably the only one I actually follow and appreciate. I don't always agree with him but its obvious he's giving his honest opinions and uses actual brainpower when discussing things.

That's pretty much the only conclusion that can be drawn, best I can understand.

Catching up on this. Is this all about a gay scene in a world that it's your choice to see? What's the issue here. Gay people exist and have always existed.. news at 11.

It's pathetic, but it successfully caters to a lot of people. You see it here every day: the emotional reactions to headlines and the disregard for the full story or even any context.
KCD2 is a perfect example of the reactionary drama here alone. People started suiting up for battle because the dev didn't lay out the full details of his game in response to--again-- a single YouTuber claiming something that people got all fucking dramatic over without proof.

At this point these YouTubers who ONLY post anti woke stuff are more annoying than anyone else. I swear they all put the exact same shit on their thumbnails too.
Oh please, the video is pure clickbait suggesting in its title that KCD2 is woke and is massively losing preorders. Then the "youtuber" cries when he or whatever the fuck that is gets called out? Ridiculous.
To be fair, Vavra is a hot-headed asshole and I think it would have been better for the game if he didn't engage in this bullshit as much, but that doesn't change anything about the initial video.

When you get dozens (hundreds?) videos made about your game with shitty clickbait titles and thumbnails, you are not gonna watch them all. Of course Vávra likely didn't watch it and I don't blame him.

It's almost like people shouldn't make stupid clickbait titles for their videos? Can't blame him on this, I can't imagine who in their right mind would watch a video with such a thumbnail and title.

Honestly these guys took the dumbest route to tackle this problem.
All they had to do was sit tight and wait it out. But those bizarre forum “guidelines”, the way they respond to rumors, it’s exactly what they shouldn’t have done and now you have a shitstorm over forced gay characters, woke shit, a black character in your medieval Europe simulator schooling about how to treat women. I see the dumbest shit fly by and it’s almost always negative.
Nothing but losers in this battle.

Maybe because the way the developer answered some of the fans question was rude and sarcastic. It turn off many fans and potential buyers. He was not a gentleman the way he handled the issue, not a chivalrous as a knight
Does he needs to be? No he doesnt. Id get annoyed by all these retards as well
