"The way we did it is exactly how something like this should be done," director Daniel Vávra says.

The game has just been nominated for two Gayming Magazine Awards due to its (optional) gay romance.

“TRIGGER WARNING,” the post begins. “Among all the various awards and nominations we’ve received, we’ve also just been nominated for the @gaymingmag GAYMING AWARDS! I’m really proud of that, because I absolutely stand by the fact that the way we did it is exactly how something like this should be done. Non-coercively, naturally, and educationally (because we show how things really were in the Middle Ages without idealizing them)–and without shoving it down anyone’s throat or trying to re-educate them like so many titles that are rightfully called ‘woke’ these days. We made the gay community happy and gave them the CHOICE to be themselves, just like we did for others in other choices and quests, and anyone who isn’t interested probably didn’t even notice. Except, of course, for [a] very small and very loud minority.”

    I have a feeling he held up hand quotes, and spoke this in an ironic or mocking tone, and expected it to come through in a print interview. From the context it seems like it’s not a focus in the story, it’s just another option. There’s nothing wrong with that, it just sounds like he’s just bad with interviews.

    The word has been absurdly corrupted by right wing though. It was just slang for being aware of the world, and promoting equality, and now it’s used for social justice enforcer.
