This is false, they will continue to argue content with minorities is "woke" and "is gonna go broke" even if it is widely successful and makes makes millions.

They aren't well known for being logical or competent, many are extremely high on cope and they believe that because they wish the producer of such content will go broke that they actually will.

As an illustration to what you're saying, I recently saw a quote of someone asking if the failure of Baldur's Gate 3 will convince other companies to quit making woke games. The FAILURE. Of. Baldur's. Gate. 3.

Could you please explain this joke? I've seen it before but I don't realy get it.

[-] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

IMO it's making fun of how there's no solid definition of "woke" at least from the right wing perspective. Ask a 100 tories what woke means and you'll get 100 different answers. It means whatever they want it to mean.

There’s no hidden message or anything. The simplicity that causes it to make no sense is meant to communicate how dumb and basic all the anti-woke conservative BS is.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 6 hours ago

Which aspect? There is no specific hidden pun regarding the engine being woke. It's just saying that the guy is angry with it because it's broken.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago

Yeah it doesn't matter how popular something is chanting "Go woke go broke" makes you look like an idiot

Remember kids: Concord failed, because it woke. Not because it came late to the party to imitate the very successful non-woke and incredibly un-diverse game... *checks notes* Overwatch.

[-] coffee_whatever@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

And remember! The high price tag attached to Concord had no influence on it's success! People will gladly pay for stuff that is offered for free elsewhere!

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

Um, ackchually, Overwatch is a gooner game, it has a lot of porn made after its characters!

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 7 hours ago

Cool

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

A LOT of porn.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 day ago

For what is porn may never die!

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Especially as the internet is specifically for porn

This graph doesn't make sense. How can you even more reach the bottom part?

EDIT: This is what I mean

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

I see your edit so I wanted to come back and explain again that woke isn't an endpoint, it's an end-loop. In the graph all things considered WOKE will continuously be checked again until it reaches Not Woke (if ever).

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 day ago

once something is determined woke by the grift, it can only be the focus as long as it is the right level of popular for anyone to listen to the scam. something to beloved or obscure won't achieve the desired outrage

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Your media either gets labeled as "gooner" or "not woke".

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 10 points 1 day ago

Or gets stuck in a loop

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Have Minorities, Don't Sexualize them, and then you automatically move into the recurring loop.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 16 points 1 day ago

I was messing with my nephew, telling him that I only play woke games, and that his favorite game, Rimworld is woke af because the communities are communists.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 7 hours ago

Please stop, you're going too wild!

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

To be clear, Minorities can include demographics other than racial Minorities, such as gay women or others.

I am not disagreeing with the meme, merely expanding on the nuance of it.

help am go in circles pls help

It’s woke not because of what’s in it, but why. It’s performative politics. Token ensemble casts. Empty signaling. It’s not meant to make the world a better place, it’s meant to make money. It’s like cheap pride merch at Walmart.
