That needed to be explained? We needed an entire article to talk about how right-wing bullshit is... actually bullshit?

It's for people who do actually believe this nonsense. Not that they'll accept it.
Right, they won't read it. Why bother trying to "convince" them? They have years of practice playing trolls, and deflecting every argument that doesn't agree with their shitty worldview.
At worst this doesn't convert anyone. Then you can count up from there. And it also vocalizes support, which might come across as pandering but that's about it.
I'm don't to see how this article is bad for anyone. At most, mildly annoying because "we knew that already".
For those on a dangerous path, that have not yet arrived.
Not opposing them does less than nothing. They see lack of vocal opposition as agreement, so disagreeing with them means being proactive and vocal.
Nobody believes it, though. People and companies that say such stuff want an excuse to be bigots.

What’s hilarious/infuriating about this stuff is that when it’s done poorly, it falls over by itself.
Then it gets called out with cries of “go woke, go broke”, when in reality it’s closer to “make shit, get hit”.
It's always been about the stories being garbage.
I swear Disney hires writers who can't write, which is their problem. Not to mention writing a movie as it goes leads to major mistakes. The whole woke idea is a smokescreen.
Is Baldurs Gate 3 considered Woke? Why?
Is it the bear fucking? It's the bear fucking, isn't it?
Maybe the fact that several characters are canonically not straight including
minor spoiler
The daughter of a benevolent god
I am quite aware of that. My current Char is in a homosexual relationship.
My comment was supposed to be a humorous jab at the fact that BG3s romances go way further than same-sex relations.
It's not just your companions, which could have been seen as just being "player-sexual", but also NPC characters in relationship with other NPC characters, which are more direct statements.
Exactly
Ah ok, cool. Difficult to discern facetiousness online sometimes 😁
If you open the article and read it, it will answer your question!
The question was intended to be slightly humorous.
Someone got a stick up their ass about all the companion characters exposing their desire for the protagonist. Yeah, I saw it. I don't think there's anything wrong the freedom of choice. Although I do agree the implementation of the romance options is a bit heavy handed.
Well that and you can roll an elf girl with a massive donger if you want.
I'm pretty sure I've met someone like that in real life
My character on Baldurs Gate 3 is named Kenough.
I would certainly pay to see a Karlach/Barbie crossover.
So that is two, what else? Out of plethora of go woke go broke examples.
Lmao.
What's gone broke again
Fasch's ankles as they trip over themselves crying about wokeness
What HAS gone broke because of “wokeness”? Mario movie was woke, until it wasn’t. Street Fighter 6 was woke until it wasn’t. RE4 Remake was woke until it wasn’t. Then we have examples where things were bad without any “wokeness”, but right wingers latched on to that anyway, like Battlefield V (1 falls under “woke until it wasn’t”).

Such as?
I like how you were asked for examples multiple times and then didn't provide them.
Name even 3 of that plethora.
To be fair, it’s easy to make up examples that fit the anti-woke trope — just name any movie, game or TV show with strong female/non-straight/minority characters that didn’t achieve record sales. That Scooby-Doo show, She Hulk, the Cleopatra thing, etc.
The Last of Us?
Zeroxxx

Btw, great choice of icon for the link! Gotta love Karlach ❤️
They were going woke, because it kept them from going broke, silly Right Wingers.
