>Girlboss characters>brown female characters>Women show zero skin>When they do, it's safehornyWhy does this game pass v's wokeometer? How did it succeed?
>>741377269It's successful, so it can't be woke. Only woke games fail.
>>741377269nobody plays this game that's why
>>741377269they had a early black prototype character be refined into a white character. this means the devs themselves are not suffering from the woke brain disease
>>741377269no one plays it
It has a sexy gargoyle girl who leaves her bare feet completely nude for everyone to enjoy
>>741377269It absolutely is but it also has some good designs so people don't care as much.
>>741377556i do
>>741377269The same people who call everything woke are also braindead steam cultists
The game is not even a little bit woke.Not even the presence of nonbinary character makes it woke.Woke is about pulling men down, mostly white men. This game doesnt do that therefore its not woke.
>>741377269Real answer: woke is a (civil) religion, and religions can be either fine or incredibly obnoxious depending on how they behave. The underlying beliefs hardly matter at all, just>live your values>accept that other people's might differ>don't act confrontational /judgmental/cuntyIt's really that easy, and most people of most religions manage it easily, mostly because they've got lots of tradition and norms around not being a dick in mixed populations. Woke is a new one so it hasn't got those, so it's quite a bit worse than average in being insufferable, bit it's already chilling out.
Flopping tranny deadcock.
>>741377269im making her mine
Valve owns most people here game library so they can't be critical
>>741377365This. Woke has no definition save 'thing I don't like', as proven by the lame duck attempts to redefine it when games like BG3 are massive successes.
>>741377269It's made by special boy Valve and it's core gameplay gimmick is gatekeeping beta access among the players that are in.
>>741377269You guys call it woke all the time
>>741378790so are you saying you don't think devs making women characters ugly on purpose, to fight the male gaze, is a thing? or do you think that isn't woke?also some nice reading material of you need to be convinced woke is purposfull and ruins the thing being made woke
Selective outrage. Naturally, a pcfag isnt going to shit in their own living room.
>>741377269It has monster girls, and for whatever reason the kind of people who usually lose their shit at games with women that aren't conventionally beautiful will give a pass to monster girlsI don't really get how you square away getting mad at something like Venture from OW having fucked up teeth and then being cool with Ivy or Wendigos
>>741377269Nortubel is more woke
>>741377365>>741378790Good luck pushing this retarded falseflag. Nobody's buying it though. Also BG3 is obviously woke as fuck.
>>741378790Purposely misunderstanding the subject just makes you look dumb. There’s no Reddit updoots to make you feel better here.
What's an example of a "woke" game where the woke part doesn't devolve to "I hate unattractive women and minorities"?
>>741379583Anon we have (you)s. One (you) is worth about 5 Redit upvotes. That is the current exchange rate. Source: I checked at the bank teller board
>>741379151>so are you saying you don't think devs making women characters ugly on purpose,Like valve
>>741379902Valve is awesome and even when they make brown characters they look way better than whatever Ubisoft makes.Just because a character is non white, doesn't mean it's bad.
>>741379475I like BG3 and Deadlock
>>741380020Its literally insane how cultists are like this, they look at augly girl and say durrr its better than ubisoft at least!!!Valve has created some of the ugliest women out there but they have to defend their cult leader
>>741379902nu-alyx is still pretty within the circumstances of the setting, my problem is that she just doesn't really look like alyx anymore.
>>741377269To be woke is to argue that there are present day systemic injustices that the majority race are collectively guilty for. (Usually white people, but woke came for korea too so not always) Usually it also comes with the argument that because of the systemic injustice, non majority races are in no way responsible for themself or their actions.Deadlock can get away with brown characters because those characters are made the leading character of their own story rather than being poor victims or rebels pushing against the injustice of white people existing. For the same reason it can get away with it's female characters, because those characters also have stories about themselves rather than stories about how bad men are.
>>741377269>>741377365>>741378790Samefag
>>741380242People who hate valve are most likely Tencent shills who play nothing but Zenless Zone Zero. You don't have a soul and I am superior to you.
>>741380204Good for you, but it has nothing to do with them being or not being woke.
>>741379583You can't 'purposely misunderstand' something that's impossible to understand in the first place. When you and your culture warrior compatriots can provide a real, concrete definition for 'woke' then you can make that argument.
>>741380274So BG3 isn’t woke then.
>>741377269meh i dont like it much but valve always made like minority having games i hate fake diversity thothere should be more characters like coach from lf42 sgt johnson alyx vance etcnot hey guys i made a liberal wet dream
>>741380356>if you dont like my BRAND then you like other BRANDyou must be a pepsi fan huh, you Nike fans are all like this
>>741380484LMAO are you kidding me. BG has always been kinda woke. They substitute anything white with """Persian""" aesthetics because it's just white enough to be recognizable but still undermines the white man by inserting some mystery generic muscular arabian nights man. Many of the themes are also very Eastern Arabic and Indian. Very swarthy under the veneer of a "Just Light Enough Skinned Character" You need to smell it. You need to have that 3rd eye to sense the wokeness. It's very tranny coded too. The female designs especially. Very left leaning. You can SENSE it.
>>741380602>HRGHHHH NO PLAY KOREA GACHA>PLAY CHINESE GACHA NOWshut up. Fuck off you already have your own ZZZ thread. GO away.
>>741380898No ones talking about that game schizo, take your meds
>>741381059+50 social credit
>>741380419So you don’t recognize that a black women with alapucia is something we’d rather not look at?
>>741380839wtf are you talking about schizo
deadlock is a steaming pile of shit for reasons other than woke
>>741380839BG2 is the only one with a Persian aesthetic…because it’s set in Amn. BG1 is just stock medieval and BG3 goes for a Mediterranean vibe. The themes are all just standard save the world shit, with the most thematically complex shit being “you don’t have to follow your violent murder god impulses”. And anyway, none of this has anything to do with the above definition of wokeness. You are just retarded.
>>741377269anon forgot the most damning evidence that theres cultists fags trying to force shit at valve and corrupt everything they do>multiple evidences and voice lines that avoid calling him a man and call him a mentally ill fag>dev committed a freudian slip with a new character voice line calling him a sad man>devs rushes to discord and confirm to mentally ill retards on discord that it was a "mistake"no, the theory about the spirits is not real, there are devs at valve trying to push cultists shit and no other devs inside the team are pushing back, they are just letting retards doing whatever
Has anyone else notice there's been an intense anti-valve shill spamming for the past month? It's so noticeable
>>741383351>uhhh its ok there are daily Nintendo/sony/Microsoft hate threads but dont you EVER talk bad about steamWhy are you like this
>>741383351oh you noticed that but not the daily deadlock generals on /v/ since the 6 new heroes update? stay in /vg/ and shut the fuck up
>>741383470
>>741383470Name 3 areas of critique regarding Steam that aren't a stretch, opinative or mental gymnastics.Name even a single thing some other store does better than Steam in regards to consumers

>>741377269THE OSIC TRAINED ME WELLTHIS IS WHERE YOU DIEDISAPPEARING
>>741384305You mistake wider shoulders as breasts getting bigger lmao
>>741377550Lol
>>741377269you forgot Pocket, the they/them character
Reminder that Archmother is voiced by /ourgirl/ Debra
All of the characters in Deadlock are pretty good. Even the worst designs like Calico still have great VA work, she just needs a model not from Neon Prime. Her voice actress pulls off the whole "overly professional corporate assassin" thing really well.
>>741377269The game being fun trumps all else. Also the designs aren't terrible.
>>741384795>actually woke is fine if its funlol you have no principles
>>741384903I personally don't care about anything beyond gameplay. Would the game be even better if everyone was cute lolis? Yes. But I can just mod that in myself.
>>741381868the sheer amount of sources for the pronoun got a sensible chuckle out of me
>>741377269>straight white male catholic priest character >Christianity in universe is not only a force for good but gives you actual powers (Jesus and God are canonically real)Probably the only game that has had the balls to even depict the Catholic Church positively in 20 years
>>741384903having principles about pronouns is as cancerous as it gets, whether it's pro or anti
>>741377269It's obviously woke but no one cares about it.
>>741377269Consider what a character like Vyper would be like if written by the Concord devs and compare that to how she is in the game currently and you have your answer
>>741385735>bro like imagine if it were wokeier! Be glad its just a normal amount of woke!
>>741377269because it also has sexy white women
>>741386139No it doesn't
>>741386273yes it does you mouth breathing disgusting vapid lunatic from the seven hells you demonic bastard, get out of my sight immediately
>>741385081That's definitely cool, but I want to know what the hell's going on with the Soviet Empire. I really hope that the whole idea wasn't dismissed.
>>741385081>Guy that fucking loves purging the shit out of the evil, but isn't stupid about it and actually protects the innocentWhy is this such a rare archetype?
Ivy on her way to bump the thread!
>>741377269If you use woke with scare quotes then your post just gets hidden by me.
>>741380484I haven't played it so I can't tell for sure, but from my impression, it's just as woke except instead of being split on race or sex lines, it's split on queer perverts vs functioning people who don't make sex their identity. Hence all the bear sex.
>>741377269Valve was always woke, they just made good games and didn't rub it in your face so 99% of people didn't care>>741377365>>741378790Behead yourself trannies>>741378021Interesting way to put it.
>>741388130Because all of our stories have been written by people who want to dismantle the concepts of good and evil to justify moral decay and stagnation until recently.
>>741377365It started off not being successful because the woke ratio was too high. One they started adding more non-woke characters interest surged.
Seeing you trying to approach Deadlock from a nu-gamer culture war poltard angle instead of the correct Dota angle is unhinged but very funny.
>>741377269Because nobody here plays that gay shit, you absolute retard
Mina HA!!!
lots of people consider it woke but it doesn't matter because lots of people also play itlike baulders gate 3
>>741391443Uhhhhhhh
/v/ cant convince me that deadlock is woke desu
>>741391443I love korean sluts
At least pick Calico you idiots.She's like the biggest vlemish on the roster.
>>741380839Trying too hard
>>741377269Because it also has hotties
>>741391837Calico was released with zero fanfare in the 4 hero update; people who don't play the game are only familiar with the 2024 leak roster and some of the heroes from the last two major updates.
>>741392887imagine how hairy her armpits and pussy are
>>741392989She 100% never bothers shaving
You will never see this many antis in furry/futa/bara threads btw.
>>741377269WHERES THE UPDATES WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE LEAKS WHERE THE FUCK IS THE UPDATE YOSHI YOU FUCKits been half a FUCKING YEAR OF NOTHING
>>741391443>signature on AI slop
>>741393101a big dota 2 leaker said he expects the patch to drop after TI, so it might be open beta
>>741393237so its the dota 2 TI that's holding us up huhgreat, dota 2 takes up dev time AGAIN and yet dota 2 players still act like deadlock gets all the love.
>>741393314Dota hasn't had an actual update with an event and new hero for over a year. It just gets balance patches and recycled "play X games for rewards" shit.AND the current balance patch is abhorrent.
>>741393101I NEED THE PVE MODE AIIIIEEEEEEEEE
>>741377365It has made zero (0) dollars
because it has hot characters?
>>741392887You cant post official models cause they ugly
>>741393919
>>741393858>posts more fanart
>>741394047
>>741393919>hey wtf you're not allowed to post fanart i don't like when you do thatI really shouldn't even be humouring you, but... do you mean the same alpha models that don't even have facial rigging yet?
>>741377269>Why does this game pass v's wokeometer? How did it succeed?It's a valve IP, like Nintendo their fans aren't critical
>>741394047As opposed to posting screenshots of an over-the-shoulder third-person action game? You can't even see faces unless the game is paused.
>>741394206underrated lockgirl
>>741392957>people who don't play the game are only familiar with the 2024 leak rosterThey either forgot the game exists entirely or they were made aware of the new blood update characters, it was pretty big, and everyone was talking about how Valve pivoted away from woke
The Yamato remodel is gonna hit like crack
Because it's cool. That's it. Woke shit is uncool therefore if something is cool it cannot be woke.Simple science for simple facts
>>741394928I hope they keep her bigass thinker.
I'm taking a break from the game since I know the next update will have me playing it like crack
>>741394945Yep its really that simple
>>741377269Neon Prime was more DEIslop and they had to pivot shift to not end up like Concord, the newer characters definitely feel like they were made with Twitter and Reddit in mind especially dialogue wise
It's more bad than woke
>bro stop looking at the woke designs and focus on this one safe horny character!!!!lol wokelock fags
It's easier to point wokusations at a new entry in an established IP. They tend to replace shit to be arbitrarily melinated or troonified. Deadlock is an entirely original setting and IP so it cant do the "worst" thing a "woke" product can do which is retcon something for the sake of political correctness. Also it's not forced in your face but we still have to wait for the story to see for sure. iirc there was a black character that got overhauled to be white.
>>741398192So dustborn isnt woke cause its an original setting and IP
Explain how deadlock is woke
>>741399520The ONLY thing people have is saying that Pocket is a "tranny", even though he's not a tranny. Before the game got leaked someone wrote his bio and used "they", and community latched onto it meaning he was a they/them(which still isn't the same as being transexual). But in pretty much all intents and purposes Pocket is a man, he acts and looks like a man, in the VN he's referred to as a man, in old Lash voice lines he gets called a "boy". Hell even new voice lines the VA's fuck up and use he/him. It's clear the "they" in his bio was very last minute but obviously Valve can't revert it now but they have otherwise completely ignored it, adding to his lore the aspect of his arranged marriage with Mina. Besides that all shitposters can say is "uhh it had black people in NYC"
>>741377269Still hate how they didn't got with this design, the game has leftoid sensibilities in some sense, but it is no obnoxious, I wouldn't caall it woke just yet unless they keep adding subhumans/faggots/trannies I had my fun with it but stopped caring after Yoshi fucked Matchmaking and balance in the ass, I might return to it when they add new heroes, or full release
>>741399520Uhly charactersCharacter with they/them pronouns
>>741399848>>741399520Cant see up Mina and Paige's skirts
>>741399903Four of those characters are more attractive now and the fifth one is going to be pretty too
>>741399903>only one of these models still look like this
She's got a nice ass and some curves. Not woke.

>>741400136That's a medal you fucking retard, she's supposed to be a glow in the dark niggress
>>741377269It's made by Valve. That's the only reason.
>>741400136Don't worry. Deadlock was made by Russians for Russians.
Valve makes cool niggasSimple asExcept Calico
>>741381113For you.
>>741390738>all the bear sexit’s one two minute scene, and sex basically plays no part in the plot or narrative. so, no not really.
Valve is proto-woke.They were doing ugly brown blob women in 2004 but the rest of the world's kind of leap frogged them. They went from frontrunners to behind the curve. That's why they aren't woke. Thanks for attending my ted talk.
>>741401901>its ugly woke but its not THAT wokeYeah bro
>>741400274You're a nigger
Yeah, but... Silver's dumptruck.
>>741403085So is braz from concord
>>741403216Concord wishes it hd a character even a quarter as attractive as Silver lmao.
>>741403216That was a dude THOUGH
/b/2.0 doesn't play it
>>741403254That character is ugly valve drone, you arebt convincing people its not woke
>>741377269It is woke. It's one of the reason I ignored this game even though I own the beta key.Pcbros will suck off fat Gabe jewish cock regardless so it's pointless to try to convince others whether this was woke or not
>>741403650
>>741377365This
>>741404546>fan artHow to spot a shill
>>741377269It has good character designs. Games that are woke from from first principles usually don't. You can have well-designed characters that may resemble "woke" on some level but it doesn't take anything away if they're good designs.
>>741377550Which one?
>>741404735
>>741404689Imagine outting yourself as a retard who changes his principles just by how much a product was successful Retard

>>741405285Her breasts are medium-sized, they're just hidden under her baggy clothes
>>741377269You dont browse
>>741405381Look down her cleavage retard theyre small and shes slender
>>741377269Half of /v/ hates it and does consider it woke - and you know that, because you're one of them and aren't a tourist. But statistically-speaking, Deadlock is the least woke currently relevant hero-based game besides Marvel Rivals. If second least woke is still too woke for you, then maybe you need a new hobby? Right wingers don't care about art and entertainment, the best you'll get is a centrist who tries to play both sides to maximize profits, and that will mean putting brown people and non-sexualized women in the game.Valve is the same company they were 20 years ago. When they made a sequel to their flagship title, they included a mystery meat love interest who mentors the MC and they tried to take legal action against fans that made porn of her. Eventually they gave her her own spin-off game after years of fans waiting for a proper sequel. Their other single-player series also has you playing as a mystery meat chick. When they added the Chad Legion Commander to Dota 2, they turned him into a mystery meat chick, and they made Chen and Anti-Mage black(?) guys. When they decided to rush out a L4D sequel, it was with a 50% black cast. And they made the Scottish Demoman black, too. These games are also famous for their noticeable lack of fanservice compared to their competitors, who ironically make far more use of SFM than any Valve game does.That was all before "woke" was a thing. This was just normal left wing backwards thinking as it has been known since the 60s. Now everyone's competing to brownwash and uglify everything, but Valve isn't, they're stuck in 2013, which is a good thing.

>>741377269I consider it, but I don't play it and honestly don't really care about this game.
>>741381868>>741385071why does this keep happening?
>>741406117I would not be surprised if the person who edited that onto Pockets wiki entry is also a deltatroon because pocket is the only one who even lists pronouns at all in fact I don't think I've heard anyone ever call him anything but a dude in matches
WHEREISTHENEWUPDATE
>>741379832Hey, Taash is non binary. Drop and barve it up. And you're fucked from the start. The definition of woke is individual, and nobody gives a fuck about you and your obvious attempt to run it.
>>741383351LOL. You JUST noticed now? >>741383470Just keep track of the regular companywars class slop and the weirdos stand out from that.
