The Bluepoint news makes the most sense, which is hilarious because reacting to it in the way they have makes absolutely no sense. Shitting on Marathon isn't going to make Bluepoint come back and it's also not going to change anything.

People can only speak with their wallet, that never changes, and that makes no difference here. A lot of those people weren't interested in Marathon to begin with, so, again, makes no sense, lol.

Don't deploy the useless word woke. Explain what you dislike and why. Generic…what?

I mean I answered the questions but to me it seems more of a jack of all trades.

In game I'm an opportunist, and will always run towards gunfire.

Look man, I have eyes. They are either women or weird, androgynous, gender indeterminate weird looking mannequin things.

You should really go see a doctor. This obsession is not normal
If you watch some SF movies from 80s you'll see a lot of "wokeness" in them
Those costumes are weird, not woke. But "weird" is a staple for Science Fiction.

Firstly, they're robots. Basically. I mean you can overthink it but they just artificial humanoid robots. Made from a mix of plastics, metals, and biological materials like silk.

They don't have hair (facial, head, body), genitals, muscles etc. So sex expression (sexual diamorphism) is limited in the design inherently. Limited, but present. So the females clearly look like females with their facial structure, bodily shape (hips, breasts), bodily proportions and some have like plastic/rubber hairdos. Voices are also (mostly?) clearly female or male, from what I've seen in media.

The men meanwhile are mostly or entirely very skinny OR slim male body types. To me the men are very clear above. It may not be overtly male enough for you, but they seem clearly male to me - at least in as much as they can without hair, large muscles, bulges in their pants. As I said the overall design of these shells means that a lot of the usual sexual dimorphism visual clues we look for are absent.

Many, many men in the world have that ectomorphic body type seen on the Assassin above. Maybe you want more stereotypically overtly male body with broad chest/shoulders, arms/legs, big muscles, beard etc but some of their design naturally excludes some of that and otherwise, well, any man with the assassins body type is no less a man than somebody with the body of Conan the Barbarian.

Skinny wiry guy is still a guy. Everybody knows guys who look like that. Very much not easy to mistake them for a woman, it's one of the most hilariously male shapes out there.

Of the 4 shells above I think 2 look clearly female to me, 2 clearly male and one (Destroyer) I'm not sure about. They're harder because of the bulky armour obscuring their body shape.

I think the reason why these shells even have any sexual dimorphism is because their operators are given a choice of 'sex' for their shells and that for many people walking around in a robot body that at least somewhat matches their actual human bodies (and sexes) makes being in the shells feel less weird. The same reason that, usually, most gamers end up choosing game avatars that match their actual sex, perhaps even trying to match their own body shape/skin colour etc.

I just don't really get your complaint. The robots aren't sexy or sexual enough? The 'women' need much bigger tits, hips and fat asses? The men should (must!) be barrell chested endomorphs with big muscles, facial hair and juicy enticing bulges in their pants?

These designs aren't even androgynous, although even if they were I wouldn't really get someone complaining about that. Oh, damn, I don't want to fuck the robots! The robots aren't hot enough! That kinda looks like a guy but I can't imagine his thighs wrapped around me because they're just not beefy enough! Why hasn't the assassin got a big hairy ass and rippling abs!?

I don't get it man.

You guys really are not beating the mouth frother allegations, like I said, it seems every time a progressive gets offended by something they lash out like a hyperactive manchild and maybe this is selective memory but I don't remember any other pattern of behavior from you guys. I don't have a problem with sharing a space with people with different politics, but it seems like you people can't act civilized when stepping outside your bubble to save your lives. Which is sad because otherwise this forum is chill and relatively sociable.

Lol. So much of projection
I am right and I treat most people who here think they are right as "centric inclined to right"
I am rational, pragmatic and extremely cynical. A lot of people dislike me for that. Like in my opinion it's completely normal to fire guys who don't perform even though "blablabla 5 years ago they made a cool remake no one bought blablabla". Show me your merits, not regalia.
And you have the same childish behavior as those on opposite side - exaggerating, overreaction, witch hunting and black-and-white thinking.
On your limited experience it might be fine to associate ~any~ weird with woke, because quite some woke are weird. But you are heavily limiting yourself - there is a lot "positive" weirdness, and going back to your comfortable eggshell of convenient and standard heavily limit you.
As it's common in my industry - correlation does not imply causation - two things that looks similar doesn't necessary means they are related.

Talking about getting offended, you are offended by these designs because you think they're 'woke'. Should the female robots have double D tits? Maybe fat robot pussies straining inside leotards that go right up their ass crack? What do you want? Should the male robots all like Arnie with beards made of plastic, maybe some hint of giant balls flopping around?

This constant injection of politics into these discussions, making everything part of an eternal culture war is so tiring. Do you really think the designers at Bungie were going "hmmmm….how to make this WOKE and GAY". Is that really what you think about when you see these designs? What an exhausting way of experiencing the world.

Man they seem to have nailed the audio design you can easily tell what's going on and where sound is coming from. Something I got used many years ago when I played counter-strike.

 

[ContrarianAsshole]

And do you see me barking at people left and right like the posters offended about the people who are supposedly getting offended? Why don't you try making calmer posts even if you think the other guy said something stupid, wear that feeling for a bit and see where it takes you, I guarantee it will feel better at the end.

Everything is woke crowd is the other end of the spectrum from the everything is fascist/Hitler people. It's the default for something they don't like. There's plenty of modern games that fall into "woke", not seeing it with this one.

Having said that, the more I see of this game the more interested I am. Will I buy at launch? Probably not, but I'll at least try the free beta.

We feel this way because wokeness is being normalized to such a scale that it just blends in with the culture until people don't think of it as woke, after all, if the cultural shift is this overpowering then fussing over these things must feel futile. Case in point, the last couple of posts in this thread. That's exactly why we point all this shit out, because we don't want it to be normalized to such an extent that it's not even a topic of discussion anywhere.
