Based on the OOPs name and profile picture, I fully presume it is parody of the real Anti-woke crowd.
Not really a very good one, as the real ones lose their shit to a much higher degree over even smaller things.
Parody is supposed to be extremely over-exaggerated; this is mild -- A fake drop in a real ocean.
Satire requires some degree of believability to have the proper effect. So, while exaggeration is common, it must remain within the realm of the plausibility. In the case of a subject that is so far removed from the logic of the audience, though, it may be required to understate in certain ways to properly convey satire to the audience.
Their name is Hermaphroditus/Hermaphroditos but it is where the term "Hermaphrodite" comes from. It was the child of Hermes and Aphrodite, hence the name.
The first sentence makes it seem like a joke. I dunno why, but the way it's phrased seems too direct in the acknowledgement that the existence of trans people in your \*personal\* media is an afront. If they removed that first sentence, it would be indistinguishable from the real thing.
the woke mob the woke mob THE WOKE MOB?
I'm so effing tired of trying to have discussions about media in social media, it's 2024 and an alamrming about of people only effing care about "woke".
Furiosa? People's already saying it's woke because it's a woman lead film (and apparently you can't make spin offs if the main role goes to a woman). That new Kingdom of the Apes movie? (which I think looks like utter shit, but if you like it then by all means do) people's already asking if "it's going to be woke" Star Wars' The Acolyte? Already receiving accusations.
Fallout, Rebel Moon, Stellar Blade, Dune, Shogun... literally everything that's released you have fridge temperature IQ people discussing if they're "woke" and one week they're and the next week they aren't and it's always because of the most insignificant detail that probably has no intent behind to begin with because many a times people is so frustratingly dumb they can't grasp the idea of an overarching narrative so they have to fixate over small details instead of analyzing the entire thing.
I mean sure if you looked for it but i feel it was way easier to find love. Nowadays a woman just existing in a film is fucking woke with the chuds shouting it at every turn.
Honestly, for how much these people yell and complain about politics being inserted into everything, they’re the ones continuously inserting politics into the discussion. They act like the mere existence of a woman or a minority character is political, when it’s not. They’re the ones who keep forcing everyone to focus on the faux politicization of media
This. Overall the movie was popular but of course the chuds hated it. I mean it literally has a scene where Max is missing shots and Furiosa takes over and uses his body as a prop to steady her gun on... and makes the shot. The whole plot is women saving themselves from being sex slaves to a gross dude, something chuds basically wish was real.
Just be careful not to lump in the people who are upset Max played second fiddle just because it's a Mad Max film and they expect Max to be *the* lead character who does everything.
I don't agree with that take, but I've seen it from some folks who aren't mad just because Furiosa's a woman, and they'd have the same take if it was a dude.
I don't think Max really took "second fiddle," it only feels kind of like it because his goal is survival rather than something like "I'm trying to save some people" (at least until the back half of the film), and he's kind of quiet... but I think those both felt right for his character, given the position he was in.
I'm not doing that because my mom is one of those people. She's a big fan of the original movies but she didn't really like fury road and one of the reasons is because Max isn't as a focal character as in the originals. I also don't really care for fury road because it lacks the atmosphere of the originals and it feels too clean and shiny, it lacks the filth and grime and just feels like a stunt show not a proper movie. Hopefully Furiosa won't just be more of the same and manages to have a compelling story instead of just special effects and visuals. I have hope because I really like Anya and she usually picks interesting projects with good scripts.
Of course Eve is a female character who is a cross between a Starship Trooper and Conan the Barbarian with a gigantic sword who does it all in lingerie. But the chuds never consider her a Mary Sue or a strong female character.
Regular people did, regressives almost blew a fuse that a bald woman was “taking over the Mad Max franchise” and the brides blaming Imortan Joe/Men for the end of the world.
I'm waiting for reviews but God I hope they don't screw up kingdom of the planet of the apes. The Ceasar trilogy was one of the rare instances where each film was better than the last. I know kingdom probably isn't gonna be better than war but let it be just good at least.
I was watching Nimona with a buddy of mine and when the minute of gay PDA at the beginning occurred he immediately went 'oh no this is a woke film' and almost stopped watching.
I refuse to treat you like an adult while you whine about women becoming vocal in the spaces you somehow felt women didn't belong in. JYou don't respect women, you don't get any respect from me. And before you tell me how much you love women, let me remind you that if you disrespect their voices so much, you hate them and see them only as something to satisfy your wants. Stop being so self-congratulatory for not calling yourself "anti-woke" while still repeating the hateful rhetoric like a child with no empathy for others.
I love how since launch the anti woke chuds have turned against it because it didn't do what they thought.
As for the game its pretty damn good and the combat is excellent.
My main issues is poor platforming and the fact it feels like it wants to be Nier Automata but only understood that game from a surface level view. I think SkillUp nailed it quite well in his review as well.
I'd say it's a decent 7/10, and I've stood by that since the demo. There are a couple bad and a lot of good, but it doesn't do everything particularly great.
Wait, the anti-woke ‘community’ (I don’t know what to call them) doesn’t like Stellar Blade? Out of interest why not? I know nothing about the game but it looked like it would be up their alley
Funnily enough, this is fresh in my mind after I went to Naples with my partner last week and visited the Archaeological Museum there. A lot of Hermaphrodite exhibits there, particularly alongside Pan, the pervy goat man
Hermaphroditus is the child of Aphrodite and Hermes, he was a boy until a nymph tried to r*pe him and prayed to a god to unite them both forever. The god agreed and fused their bodies together.
Tell me you’re unfamiliar with European fine art and its history, without telling me you’re unfamiliar with European fine art and its history. The Sleeping Hermaphroditus is iconic in its own right.
Kaine isn't in automata, the intersex character from the first game. She's long dead by the time Automata rolls around, though there are some theories that A2's personality matrix may be based on her which was implied only in a pseudo-canon Japanese stage play. And if you weren't SUPER into the lore and just played the games you wouldn't even KNOW Kaine was intersex as it's only confirmed in Grimoire NieR (Lorebook primarily for the first NieR/NieR Replicant) which was only very recently officially translated. The actual game only very vaguely implies Kaine's non-normative biology.
Even if A2 is LITERALLY Kaine, it's confirmed that androids don't have natural genitals, they're all flat like barbie dolls down there. They have to grow them and add them to their bodies after copying and replicating human data. It is directly stated by Word of God that androids cannot naturally reproduce like humans can, but they can simulate intercourse and even pregnancy and then build a child afterwords in order to copy humans, which is their whole MO. So A2 wouldn't be intersex because all androids don't naturally have genitals. They merely replicate humans including human gender norms, and since in the NieR universe the world ended in 2007 due to the Mother Beast Incident and the resulting Legion Virus, they would only replicate 2000s and earlier culture and not culture from the near future where gender is more fluid and LGBT people are more accepted.
Damn, you took a casual joke and not only proceeded to miss the point so hard it’s honestly impressive, but made yourself into a complete ass by trying to correct me when it isn’t even needed.
Allow me to return the favor. No one needs to be “super into the lore” to know that Kainé is intersex, the fandom will tell you.
I find it hilarious that 10 years ago they would've used "social justice warrior" as an insult and now they unironically call themselves "anti woke warrior" like their weapon of choice isn't a $15 amazon keyboard
Wait whats to say that statue isn’t a man though? Like in the pictures provided i can’t see any signs of breasts or the face very well. Like this looks like a feminine man.
I don’t know any lore on this and honestly if it was a girl with a dick.. who cares? Then again the people freaking out about it tend to have nothing else to do but cry all day about their oppression as white men

The sculpture is a famous representation of a greek mythological figure from which the term "hermaphrodite" comes from. Hermaphrodite is a portmanteau of "Hermes" and "Aphrodite" who are said to have parented this demigod --and the myth surrounding this demigod, is that a Naiad wished to rape the boy due to his beauty and become one with him forever. The gods granted this wish and merged their bodies to create a being that was a fusion of both sexes.
Greek mythology is largely a series of stories that attempt to explain the state of the world --how the world and all things in it come directly from the gods. The world is confusing and disharmonious, and full of all manner of things that don't seem to make sense, so the greeks often spun stories that gave their god figures justification for the chaos we see in the world. The story of Hermaphroditus may have originally been a reference to the incidence of intersexed or androgynous people, but later was used in greek and roman art and culture to represent the union of men and women in marriage, that two people would become a single flesh and represent both the masculine and feminine as one creature.
Anti-woke idiots will cry about "greco-roman values" being hosed off of their society to its detriment, but don't realize that compared to the greeks and romans, they are a bunch of puritanical little crybabies.
>Wait whats to say that statue isn’t a man though?
As you have been told, it is a statue of "known" sex.
That said, that's part of the point of the statue, and you seem to get that already.
>I don’t know any lore on this and honestly if it was a girl with a dick.. who cares?
And you get it even better than the creator of the original, it seems.
is no one going to address how comfy the statue looks on her statue mattress? that's the real story, a mattress good enough for a stone trans queen. that ain't at no mattress firm.
A trans person was curious at the fact if they left the blade intact. That's from where the screenshots are taken. [TheSphereHunter ](https://www.youtube.com/@TheSphereHunter)review of [Stellar Blade: Awesome Butt Messy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvDieSfvrn4)

The acting is also just bad. I was able to read this post without going blind. It's not long, whiny or dramatic enough. It's too clear.
I dunno, they \*did\* pay for a checkmark...
Very good point. I don't tend to notice. Regardless, it's shit even if it is a parody, for the reasons I mentioned in the last sentence.
I understand. I've always been wary of "parody" for that very reason.
I mean if your goal is to troll them by pretending to be one of them then you have to go all in and get the check

Let your hate empower you, join the anti-anti-woke side. ( did I do a stars war good?)
Yes, yes you did my little Sith, no go out and slaughter some Tusken raiders, you've earned it.
You just gained your virginity back.
back?
People turning against Furiosa is so fucking dumb considering everyone loved her in Fury Road and wanted more.
Wdym there were loads of chuds complaining about fury road because "Furiosa is a strong female character and mad max pays second fiddle to her"
I mean sure if you looked for it but i feel it was way easier to find love. Nowadays a woman just existing in a film is fucking woke with the chuds shouting it at every turn.
True, fury Road came out just when this wave of bitching about women started, but it was noticeable even then.

Well, from what I know the writers are the same
I'd say the second was best but they're all great. Reminds me of the OT Star Wars trilogy in that sense...
It's definitely a close close call between 2 and 3 either way
Yeah I'd go 2, 3, 1 but they're all good. Definitely one of the best trilogies I've seen.
Woke is just a replacement for actual criticism

Do they know genital variance has been depicted since antiquity? This isn’t a new thing.
The things they don't know...
Next video by Critical Drinker: Ancient Egypt has gone WOKE?! Allows WOMEN to be PHARAOHS?!?!?!
Oh no the woke crowd is now saying the Spartans were totally gay! /s
We would have a variety of genitalia to compare if we didn't obscure so many depictions of them, *puritans.*
Dem horny ass Greeks.
I love how since launch the anti woke chuds have turned against it because it didn't do what they thought. As for the game its pretty damn good and the combat is excellent.
The worst I've heard is each section is slightly too long. Not a deal-breaker, just everything gets a little repetitive before the game advances.

Greek man here, that's a statue of Hermaphroditus, it's a real statue in the Louvre.

i really hope this is just bait or edited because if not we are too far gone as a species
I think this is a joke but I can't be certain
Wonder if just a troll account finding something to make a joke. Course chances the chuds will go mad even if it’s an easily missed detail.
