(Even the character design of Wuk Lamat shows that some thought was put into ticking "diversity" boxes, such as character model, weapon poses, upper body clothing somewhere between a sports bra and a chest binder, as well as the character concept itself--a quasi-androgynous masculinized female (?) Mary Sue.) "Wokeism" is also certainly why, be it in these forums or anywhere else in the real world, straight-white-male-Caucasians, those resembling that category, or those who believe that diversity is the indirect effect of a population's constituency--not an overt goal used to subvert or oppress the native population, are not permitted to criticize those within the panoply of the critical race theory hierarchy without being baselessly accused of some type of discrimination.
    I will say that despite my positions in this thread, I didn't find DT to be particularly "woke" especially in comparison to a lot of Western media and video games. I never liked Wuk Lamat, but it's for most of the reasons everyone's said... I just feel like she was very forced and we followed her around like a lost puppy, being let off the leash to attack something every now and again. But I don't think the game is overly woke content-wise... It's just the same tropes we've seen before in anime about the power of friendship, and Wuk is really just another naive anime girl. I also skipped every cutscene that wasn't voiced after the first few levels of MSQ, so I'm not in a position to really sit and criticise the finer points of the MSQ. If anything, my own personal issues with DT are just FF burnout. The reason I've kind of peeked my head in here and said my piece is because the community is insufferably woke and the dogpiling on you is nothing but spiteful. With each new post telling you to leave, or that you never belonged in the first place, they prove that point.

    You're trying to paint the OP as some kind of bigot due to his choice of words, which would be the words anyone would use to criticise the ideology. Engage with his arguments, not his word choice and then you can criticise me for wanting to "argue semantics."
