Why does /v/ praise and jerk Half-Life 2 off so much despite it being the first woke game?>straight white male protagonist gets his ass kicked and has to be saved by a half black half asian woman at the start of the game>Half-Life 2 uses Eli to push interracial marriage and procreation>cast is diverse as fuck (black man and his mixed race daughter and a white woman)>game pushes a theme of "humanity as one" in the fight against the Combine which is similar to woke messages being pushed today.Valve was pushing wokeness a decade before it hit the mainstream
>>737623012>>straight white male protagonist gets his ass kicked and has to be saved by a half black half asian woman at the start of the gameI mean, Gordons a literal nerd. Alyx clearly does Muay Thai or some other type of contact sports
half life is the only good valve game with portal 2 and l4d2 being honest runner ups
>>737623012That’s not woke means dumbass
Because both 2016 and gamergate did a number on this place, everybody became depressed ever since and now all we care about is being outraged
Sex with Alyx
>>737623012>straight white male protagonist gets his ass kickedHe was unarmed, and in stasis for 20 years. Then goes on to arm himself and saves the world.>Half-Life 2 uses Eli to push interracial marriage and procreationA father wants his kid to have a family and live a happy life.>cast is diverse as fuckBut also nobody is superior to anybody -because- of their race. No racial tensions, or guilt. If anything, its colorblind.>game pushes a theme of "humanity as one" in the fight against the Combine.The combine soldiers and metrocops are humans who joined the combine. Humanity also fights alongside the Vortigaunts, a literal alien race.Half Life 2 wasn't pushing any politics, it just wanted to tell a cool story. This astroturfing, "everything was always woke" bullshit wont ever work.
>>737623012Because it is a great masterpiece that is not woke one bit.
