Me, five hours into explaining what a film is, the existence of Hollywood, the existence of a country over the sea called 'America', the internet and what woke means: "ok so basically, in the year of our lord two thousand and fourteen there was this thing called 'Gamer Gate' and single men who couldn't have sex would harass women for criticising video games"

idek what the fuck they're on about now. The game is probably gonna be shit and all but like, the protagonist just looks like she's got 1979 Alien Sigourney Weaver vibes, which is pretty aesthetically consistent with star wars, a series started in the late 70s.

And I am loathe to engage in this stupid ass (hehe) conversation on their level, but Ripley wasn't some hypersexualized inhumanly proportioned t&a waifu. Does that make foundational 70s-80s scifi woke trash because women weren't caked up anime waifus?

e: also aside, just looking at it now but damn i fw droids with coats/capes/cloaks, thats a good design

they STOLE her ASS. the game is about tracking down and punishing the nefarious butt thief gang of Skampo-8.

Not the dreaded Skampo Booty Looters!

somehow i bet extremely sexed up foundational scifi like Barbarella would also get called woke

wtf are these people complaining about I literally want to be her

It's strange looking at how these guys complain about how things were better "back in the old days" but also if Alien or Terminator came out today, they would be freaking out at this "Mary Sue" woke SJW main character, because they hate when women do things.
