Just discontinued subscription due to Wuk and increased wokeness across SE corp.

I will just explain the plan of Square and all these other companies. They want to condition you to accept garbage and not be able to have any complaints about it. This is what is happening now and every single one of you that says this person is a bigot is part of the same kind of mob that would stone people on the streets for having an opinion.

It is the right of all of us not to like something. These companies want to take that right from you, deliver you garbage and still get your money. That is what wokeness really is... just the right to get your money without any work at making good content.

Wokeness refers to poor quality content hidden behind a shield of ideology and victimhood while feeling entitled to your hard earned money. Do not be tricked.

"Woke is when bad games"

why did we have 36 pages of discussion about completely unrelated topics then, close up the thread, Dawntrail's MSQ is "woke." /s

You can ask 7 people what "woke" is and receive 8 different answers, anyone who still tries to use it is trolling, willfully ignorant, and/or dogwhistling. At least it's Monday so mods will probably close the thread soon.(tm)

See title.

• Bought FFI for NES as a kid.
• Bought a Playstation in college just to play FF VII.
• Played both FFXI and FFXIV at NA launch.
• Own all FF main series games and most spinoffs up to and including the PS4, CIB, (including original Japanese FC and SFC games).
• Stopped playing new FF games after playing FFXV, when the series turned into DMC/Souls-like fast-twitch-based games.
• Discontinued FFXIV subscription and will not be purchasing the upcoming Dragon Quest remasters or Sieken Densetsu due to EXTREMELY poor wiring in DT, as well as Western wokeness and DEI infesting SE corporation-wide.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Paradox of tolerance is a poor attempt at excusing hypocrisy.

You see the thing with equalitarism concepts like Tolerance, is that they apply to everyone, even bad people.

If marginalized groups tolerate their intolerant oppressors, the oppressors ultimately eliminate the marginalized groups and their tolerance with it.
It's really not a difficult concept to grasp but you'll do Simone Biles level mental gymnastics to rationalize why people should just accept your prejudices.

I must have missed the chapters in history where Arabs eliminated their European slaves or where Europeans and Americans eliminated their African slaves or where Africans eliminated their own African slaves, or where Egyptians eliminated their lower classes... Or maybe you mean the chapter where-in European nobility eliminated the peasantry? I must have missed that chapter too.

I didn't miss the numerous chapters in history wherein peasants overthrew and executed or exiled their rulers.

Gotta admit, haven't had one of these trash fire threads in a minute. Anyone got the popcorn to share?

You can have my popcorn, but only if I get the bucket back after you're done to puke in it because of all the hypocrisy going on here...

Some people really seem to think they are the next coming of Jesus or something akin to an angel on earth, when they were calling a person who made themselves vulnerable by coming out about harassment they had to endure a 'shizo' just a few pages back.
Don't even dare to say that and then try to talk about 'mental health' afterwards when you have no idea what suffering real schizophrenic people go through, and what stigma they have to deal with. Being called 'psychos', how they are being portrayed in media...and you just play right into that and then act like you are the good guy in this scenario? Oh please.

Normally I'm pretty calm and neutral about topics like those, I try to see both sides and don't want any conflicts to happen. Or, even worse, escalate stuff...
But this...it makes me angry. Acting all protective about one minority while using language like this towards someone who certainly had a traumatic experience while at the same time showing your prejudice towards another minority.

I'm sorry for the off topic rant (not that there is any topic to follow at this point anyways). But this 'holier-than-thou' attitude makes me sick to my stomach.
