If Katawa Shoujo was released today would it be considered woke?For anyone too young to remember, the basic premise is that it's a romance visual novel where all the girls have somekind of disability. (Blind, deaf, burns/ptsd, etc.)
>>746045463this
>>746045331No.>Non-woke = hot girls like me>Woke = girls are ugly or don't like me
>>746045331i love hanako
I don't even know what "woke" mean at this point...
>>746045463this.

>>746045747everything that make chud mad
>>746045587Based.Read Sisterhood (even if it falls in the last quarter)
>>746045331duno about you chuds but I love retarded girls!
>>746048013So, Misha best girl?
I dated a girl with a disability (she was tall as fuck) whenever we went anywhere people stared like I was walking alongside Bigfoot. It sucked.
>>746045747first it meant "aware of and against racism" in AAVEthen it went through semantic drift to mean "aware of and against social discrimination in general"then right-wing freaks started using it as an insultthen the insult also went through way more semantic drift and now it means "anything to the left of Hitler"hth
>>746045587hanako best fucking girl
>>746045463
>>746045331>>746045747>>746049609Invincible adaptation complaining about "hero gets pretty girl" trope sexist or removing a woman accurately being judged for being a dumb hoe while keeping a fugly woman saying her fugly husband is only good for money. Basically feminism or female supremacy larping as fighting for human decency. Woke is progressive politics trying too hard to "support" women/poc/gays etc., to the point it comes of as cringe or completely contradictory to their supposed goals of improving the condition of human relationships. There was a sudden shift in the 2010s and wreck it ralph was a good example. In the first movie the male and female characters work together in a touching way, then in the sequel the guy is portrayed as a weirdo one sidedly holding her back from doing what the first movie said not to do. Look at how obnoxious the scene with all the disney princesses are where they're even downplaying the undeniable fact that he helped her in the first movie. Obviously anyone can just say something is woke but there was a change and noticeable worsening of progressivism. For the game in OP to be woke in the same way no one would like it the same if at all. Imagine rin just sounding like a bitchy bitter femcel calling anything you do against her wishes sexism along with being changed to black. No one would like the game the same if at all. The invincible slop is carried heavily by people with low standards who creamed their pants over omnichud killing people.
>>746045331>no blacks>no faggots>hot underage girlsgooner chud game bro. Pedosky wouldn't allow it to exist.
>>746045331Nope
>>746049609>first it meant "aware of and against racism" in AAVEKys nigger
>>746049480I think it's you who's disabled, anon
>>746052195>Reading us comics and watching Disney moviesYour mistake anon
>>746045587Respectable choice. Sadly, I must disagree, my heart belongs to Lilly.
>>746052867If you're talking about woke or obnoxious progressivism then inevitably you're going to be including media from muttland whether that's comics, movies or vidya. Who wants katawa shoujo where the girls are black bitchy uglier feminists/man haters? I'm betting not nearly as many people. But if it came out more recently it would be more like that, and if it was then any complaints about woke shit would be accurate.
I only finished emi's route. I dropped hanako's after the flipped out.
>>746045331Katawa Shoujo is vanilla as fuck compared to other western VN slops, no muh subversion, no 2deep4u plot, no actually a horror game twist, no "it's not just a dating sim" bullshit, by the end of the day it's just grounded visual novel romancing girls that just happens to have a disability, that doesn't hate the medium by injecting ironic subversions, unattractive characters, or edgy plots.
>>746053201In my case, i make a difference between woke and progressist, woke is all the propaganda that started in 2016 with all the tropes possibles as a trend and that money from blackcock, progressism is when a work talk about themes but before that periodBoth are faggots to me, but at least theres a distinction between the two
idc. I love Rin
I used how they ruined wreck it ralph as a comparison but it turns out to have actually came out the same year as katawa shoujo. So yeah imagine a sequel where the girls get together after putting on a hundred pounds (and it all went to the gunt) to say um actually hisao is a creepy loser that didn't help them that much. There's your woke.
the matrix would be woke if it was made todayalien would be woke if it was made todaya modest proposal would be woke if it was made todaydon quixote would be woke if it was made todayothello would be woke if it was make todayla divina comedia would be woke if it was made todaythe new testament would be woke if it was make todaythe illiad would be woke if it was made todaythe epic of gilgamesh would be woke if it was made today
>>746045331No it'd be accused of fetishizing disability. But it's pretty sincere and grounded. I don't know if it would blow up like it did back then but it'd have its fans. The difference between woke and not woke is that the disabilities in katawa shoujo are portrayed realistically as serious debilitations that affects the character's lives and require constant effort to overcome. Not as hand wavey , patronizing, personality quirks intended to shame you if you happen to notice them. Why am I writing all this fuck your faggy thread>>746045463fpbp
>>746045463Same.
>>746045331What was her disability again? besides being fat
>>746045463fippy bippy
>>746045747social justice
>>746045331>would it be considered wokeI know this is a shitpost thread but people unironically call this game "problematic" these days, if it was new today it would be causing discourse rather than being considered woke.
>>746045331Not really, simply because the girls are intentionally meant to look pretty.
>>746054605Lesbian.
Is the vg thread still running
>>746054605>bad ending for tapping thatnot fair bros, and it's the ONLY choice in Shizune's route
Remember if you don't like h-scenes in games all of the ones in Katawa Shoujo are disabled by default.
>>746055360CARLOS
>>746045331they're all the best girlsbutEmi is the most best girl and my wife
>>746055074Kind of? people just imagedump and talk about their day. There is also the local schizo wishing good night and good morning to himself every day.
Funny this thread comes up now I just did a blind run of the game and may I say edjg jd kdkwi AL; K sswqo nyna
>>746055947It will be okay anon, the ambulance is on its way.
>>746045331Ive been told this vn will make me cry. But will I cry from my dick or my eyes?
>>746049242Absolutely
>>746056278The initial "joke" was that it actually briefly stalled the will to masturbate for many people who played it as it came out. Now I definitely didn't stop wanking but I did try and get healthier, talk to girls, got a girlfriend so on (though it's half coincidence, I'd just finished dealing with a family business so actually had time to live) so I owe crippled bitches some thanks.
>>746045331SO LONG AS KENJI AND EMI'S ANAL SCENE EXISTS - WOKENESS SHALL NOT PREVAIL
>>746045331Shizunebros where we at?
>>746056909Comforting Misha
>>746056824>lemonsI'm tired of pretending it wasn't hot.
>>746045331No, because the entire crux of it was that it treated the girls as people rather than tokens to virtue signal with.It treated the subject entirely sincerely, without a single wink or nudge to the camera, gave them flaws and depth rather than making them perfect, and, very importantly, contained actual conflicts for them rather than everything being trivial.It was the inverse of Woke, similar to Snoot Game.
>>746054605
>>746052195>Imagine rin just sounding like a bitchy bitter femcelI don't even need to imagine, when it's all in there text there.It's so weird how the character seems goofy and aloof in the prologue part, then goes all psychobitch later on.
>>746045747You know exactly what it means
>>746045331Yes, it has crippled main characters and actively makes fun of incels through Kenji
>>746045747It means "on the correct side of history", thanks for asking anon
Now I feel old again, gee thanks
>>746053546king
>>746057331Kenji is fantastic how dare you
>>746045331This always spoke to me because I also have heart problems. I wish I met my Lilly in real life too
>>746057331But Kenji turned out to be right about everything
>>746057629Sorry your kokoro is brokoro. Many such cases
Best girl Emi
>>746045331>you have sex with themcouldn't possibly, dunno why you'd ask that questionIMA RUB MY CUM IN YO BURN SCARS
>>746055360Alright Nanako you got me i was about to point out that no the h scenes are shown unless you turn them off
>>746045331>girl's disability is just crippling social anxiety because "muh burn scars" even though despite them being apparently LE HORRIBLE she still perfectly has hair and no muscle damage on her face, her lips are perfectly intact and nose untouchedHanako is a fucking baby. Won the lotto ticket of severe burn victims and essentially cried her way into a special needs school.
>>746057889Her burns look nothing like real burns. Real burns look fucking disgusting. But, to be fair, if she actually had them she'd get bullied in a normal school. We used to bully girls just for having lots of acne.
I remember when it came out in Japan they were stunned they used the name Katawa.Its hugely derogatory term in Japanese and would be like using the name>Retard girlin English
>>746059025I would 100% play a game called Retard Girl
>>746059089Same, but I think if you played it you would know it's meant to be comical or black humour, while Katawa Shoujo was meant to be serious.
>>746045747>we have no idea what "woke" is but woke 1.0 was crazyyyy and were moving onto woke 2.0/dark woke now
>>746059175Tbh a game with that title being a serious story that's actually written pretty well could work as a le subverted expectation thing, kinda like how there's this manga with a title that literally translates to "Masturbation Master Kurosawa" and it's a legit story about bullying, social isolation and growth
>>746059509>Masturbation Master KurosawaHoly peakI read that manga after I misinterpreted a joke where someone called it>The most touching manga I've ever readAbsolute 10/10 manag, I remember he went on to write Devily Man which flopped hard
