Something being politically agnostic, as in normal, is considered "anti woke" to the religion of ideology is what I'm gathering.

Yep. You are right. Contrived bullshit is all it is.

It's actually typical leftist behavior, anything that is not explicitly radical left is "right wing". So if you're not actively promoting Marxism you're anti-woke.

How could anyone possibly prove you wrong? You've already made up your mind. And what could anyone possibly say that would prove anything anyway?
As someone who has been very critical of Crimson Desert, I think you're completely wrong. In fact, I think time will prove the opposite, because all of the major problems with Crimson Desert are technical or control wise, and most these things will either be fixed by the developers or modders who are already working on them. The game has great bones, it's just a fucking mess and needs a lot of work to be what it should have been at launch. Also, anyone using it as a culture war fight is kinda stupid, because if that were the case it would be getting much better reception in Asia, where they don't care about that stuff, and yet it got no China boost, it got no Korea boost, and their review scores are significantly lower than ours.
Veilguard was always dogshit, everyone knew it, some people just chose to push it because of their social, political nonsense. These two games aren't comparable.
That is true, to an extent. These days, with all the nonsense that goes on in gaming, being politically neutral is considered a win for most normal people.

Weird pull, especially when there is a better example of this place feeling like the opposite but equal reaction to the other place still on the first page of gaming discussions.

The game has proper bethesda levels of JANK.
I tried the first person camera looked at my feet and i could see through the ground

That's one of Kliff's powers. Hit left on the d-pad four times, do a fireball motion with the light analog stick, and then press B, B, A, hold Y and then click the right analog stick to turn it off.

All this gatekeeping is not unlike Hollywood and the music industry.

The subtext is that a bunch of people who expected and are used to the quintessential "modern western AAA experience" got slapped in the face by Korean Chads who told them to shove their yellow paint, agenda driven "stories", gender A and B, level scaling, difficulty modes, and handholding up their arse.
The result is a bunch of butthurt people who thought they were "gamers" feeling like they have had their first taste of what it was like stepping in to Morrowind in 2002 for the first time and they don't know what to do with themselves because it's made them realise they were just a bunch of tourists this whole time.
As such, they are on a crusade to try and make it so that big budget videogames that are actually videogames, especially those coming out of the East, don't have any success or long standing influence on the industry as a whole.
