The issue here is that every time I see someone complaining that a game is "woke" is when suddenly there are gay people, or people of colour, or women not looking like a hooters waitress in the game. And the reality here is that this isn't being woke, it's that the game is being based on reality. Gay people exist, always have, so do people of colour, and women of all types and men too. The people that make it political are the people that don't want to see the real world and the people in it.
Now, I don't know what you feel is "woke" and I'm not saying this is directed at you, but just because there are people that don't fit some preconceived mold, and they are included in a game, doesn't make it magically political.
Oh look, the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory.
I think you've been consuming too much Jordan Petersen.
That whole theory was rooted in anti-semitism and some weird mistrust that Jews were imposing culture on them. It's the biggest load of baloney.
Provide the documentation. What does intersectionality have to do with Marxian economics? What authors have you read who discuss both?
Have you read Women, Race and Class?
Where are you finding chapters of Davis’s work on marxists.org? I found an article discussing her work on there, but I believe most of her work is still under copyright. I have a hard copy of Women, Race and Class myself.
What would you argue Davis’s main point in that book is?
That’s fascinating that you feel the need to lie about books you’ve read. Anyone who has actually read Women, Race, and Class would be talking about the dynamics of slavery - that’s kind of the major exploration of the book.
Why lie? Why project and accuse me of lying? Are you so threatened by ideas that you disagree with that you can’t engage with them at all?
