…Isn’t that in reverse?

IIRC Gears of War women were heavily (read:sensibly) armored and pretty diverse.

I dunno what this Mortal Kombat context is, but those are some deep V cuts for fighting in.

In other words, I figured GoW would be more “woke” than more exposed Mortal Kombat fighters. Increasingly “defeminizing” women is like a core grievance of gamergate, right?

There's not a lot of rhyme or reason to what games these dipshits call "Woke" really. It basically amounts to "I don't like the game," for a lot of them honestly. I've seen several games that you'd think for sure have gotta be woke that they say are fine and others with way less woke elements that they'll say it Woke Trash.
