    I can't keep up with the culture war stuff. Is the game chud or woke? Based or cringe?

      It's both at the same time.

      Woke - because it's Chinese evil SeeSeePee brainwashing

      Chud - because Gamers™ align with the claims(?) of sexism within the company that made the game.

      The game itself is unremarkable in terms of culture war stuff.

      Some of the developers said some insulting bullshit about female gamers a while back and the company has a few vocal techbro creeps, and a female game reviewer said there weren't enough female characters, so the chuds rallied to culture war on the side of the game.

      The company begged the influencers they gave copies to not to be political. They've got a sexism controversy that everyone knows about but the game itself doesn't seem to be trying to make a statement the way that one Korean booba action game did.
