2 of the most famous protagonists in gaming are silent: Link from Zelda and Gordon from Half Life.
Guess we’re woke and gay in Hyrule and Black Mesa
I mean kinda, yeah. Alyx is a POC woman who holds her own in Half-Life, Zelda is one of the three most powerful people in the setting and there's no shortage of other powerful women around, including an entire species of dark-skinned warrior women.
(Not that the Gerudo are an especially good/sensitive portrayal of POC but even ignorant racism is woke to chuds these days, you have to be a full on nazi to satisfy them now)
If Half-life: Decay came out today, these fuckers would be decrying it as woke propaganda because both the protagonists are dressed like this:
Instead of some sorta boobplate.
And that guy in GTA3.
