That headline is doing him dirty. Makes it sound like he is annoyed about the opposite.

The actual tweet the article is about:

Pisses me off that people say Gears went "wOkE".

These culture wars are out of control. If Gears 3 came out today they’d say the same thing about it – the cast was diverse AF and we had strong, non-sexualized female soldiers.

From what I've read about him, I thought CliffyB would have been on the "seeing wokes in everything" group.

Definitely pleasantly surprised he seems to have a good head on his shoulders

The everything is woke or not is out of control, when the real wide spread problem is just bad writing and story telling. I'm just tired of stories with contrived conflicts that occur just to make the story move forward "ie the entire plot of God of war Ragnarok", and established characters making uncharacteristic choices and actions without any development towards that change, "ie Luke Skywalker in the last Jedi and basically everyone in the last season of game of thrones".

And right he is! Just as often as I see some piece of old media that makes me go 'ouch, that shouldn't have been made or wouldn't have been made today' I also see some strangely progressive or rather inclusive stuff that makes me go 'huh, people would be complaining about forced inclusion and wokeness if this was released today'

Understandable, every time I bear a bigot pissing and moaning about something being woke it makes me want to rip a horrific fart directly into their face.

I did read the article... Why do you think the parent commenter didn't?
