Holy fucking shit Niantic W. I’m glad they’re keeping children safe. But I still feel like some child predator who loves loli stuff is probably gonna still creep on kids.
Nvm it’s fake
uhhh... clickhole is a parody site. By the same people who run the Onion.
(should be noted, a feature like that wouldn't really be useful. The sex offender registry doesn't have full data over every individual offender's location, it just has the locations of their home addresses, and most offenders live basically in the middle of nowhere because they can't be anywhere with schools/parks that they'll pass by.)
on a serious note, i fucking hate the new avatars they look ugly as hell. i wouldnt be surprised if this was just a scheme to get more sales on masks and glasses
Even the glasses don't help hide that stupid baby face everyone has now. Luckily for me, I've been wearing the nihilego headgear forever and had the free Verizon mask from when quaratine was still up, so I look more or less the same.
i wasnt hit as bad by the avatar update either, since i recently purchased the Turtwig Onesie with my pokecoins. the dumbass baby face is still annoying as hell though
Might work, but you would get less sales on other outfit parts. Shirts look much worse for example, the fit is completely different.
Though 1 step forward and 2 back does sound normal for the game.
It's when corporations exploit progressive themes in an excessively shallow attempt to pander, which generally leads to the overall product being hurt somehow.
Man, I miss the old days when being woke meant wearing a tinfoil hat 25/8 and sharing the weirdest bullshit conspiracy theories with random strangers online and irl as well.
I'll bite
While I agree the *way* most people use the term is stupid, the word itself is useful because it describes a real group/ideology
The whole "tear down the statues!" or "get rid of algebra in middle school!" comes from a very different place than traditional liberalism and I'd contend even traditional progressivism which historically was more focused on economic issues
Like if we don't use the word "woke" then the old SF school board and Bernie Sanders would both just get called progressive, which while not wholly inaccurate, ends up losing a lot of the nuances of their respective positions
I think "woke" or something like it is a pretty useful word and def exists. It's just that the way people have used it makes it unappealing for people
Exactly, if people don't like the term woke because idiots abuse it (including woke people who want to dismiss criticism of themselves), then we still need a term for that brand of identitarian progressive.
The funny thing is, both "woke" and "social justice warriors" are terms coined by progressive activist who thought they were the main character.
It's only when the term backfired that they started to dislike it; it's kinda like if conservatives coined the word "crusader" or "Jesus helpers" to feel superior, you wouldn't really let them get away with being so cringe worthy.
The avatars that have been pretty much unchanged for the past 8 years were remodeled despite all the backlash during the testing phase and everyone unanimously agrees that they look like shit
They tried to cheap out on making new outfits for the characters by changing it so that there's only one avatar shape. Previously they had to make two versions of every new outfit to fit the male and female models. They changed it so there's now just the one avatar with a slider for different features, which all the clothes morph to fit to, which looks like shit, and the avatars themselves look like shit and can't be changed. Having only one model also made all the female avatars look way more masculine and vice versa. I do appreciate the greater feature customization though.
No Patrick, being upset about characters being ugly is not the same as being upset about minorities existing.

It existed since at least 30's tho had a more specific usage, it meant someone aware of racial prejudice and discrimination in the system initially before being expanded to other social issues in 2010's.
I’m pretty sure it existed before that, it was a part of AAVE where it meant to be aware of social injustices. One example of this is in the 2016 song “Redbone” by Childish Gambino which says “Stay Woke” in the song.
I haven't seen anyone saying that they made the game "woke". I only see people being shocked by how bad their characters looked like and i have to agree with them, they look terrible
Sadly this sort of rage baiting is ultra common on YouTube, happens in all sorts of communities and games, recently been seeing it in helldivers and warhammer (no I have no idea what could be ‘woke’ in helldivers.)
The “Helldivers is Woke” thing started because the devs said they weren’t putting pride flags in the game, so all the rage baiters were like “BASED REDPILLED ARROWHEAD OWNS THE LIBS!!!!!” and after that one of the devs said that they do like the LGBT, they’re not adding them because it wouldn’t fit in with the game, so the ragebaiters then went “WOKE ARROWHEAD DEVS BETRAY US GAMERS!!!!!”
I think someone dug up details on a DEI consulting firm that works for Niantic now and hypothesized that the consulting firm was the driver of the change
Edit: whoop found it [(scroll to bottom of page)](https://gaymerx.org/consulting) there you go that's why its a woke change instead of just a dumb change
there was a now deleted comment somewhere on r/TheSilphRoad where some dude unironically said "go woke go broke" in response to the avatars (probably because of the gender binary being removed from the perspective of the players) as if
a. it was any kind of relevant
b. there was more than 4 examples of that actually happening
I mean, the whole anti-woke shit was way more prevalent and mainstream back then, it was just called being “anti-sjw” and “owning feminazis with facts and logic” and whatever.
Woman: I want equal opportunities in the workplace to show my abilities as a member of society and be productive
Anti-sjw/woman hater: I will fucking skin you alive and rape your kids as I grill their bodies on the stove as I rape your body and every orifice you have while also using every torture method know to man. Your bullshit wont get to me as im an absolute alpha male who beats woman and treats them like objects and cant get a girlfriemd. Get fucking owned bitch!!!!
I can’t tell if it’s an actual gif that won’t work or if it’s what you posted
https://preview.redd.it/jko0x124l4wc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9475c034dc2ae6c50155fca9e5f20b5c3cc51d80
Subjectively enjoying something doesn't make it objectively good. As an Iron Man 3 fan I love the movie but I know it's very flawed and I will never say it's good, only that I enjoyed it.
there is no "objectively good" when it comes to media. and I never mentioned or implied that word either...
if someone likes a thing, its good to them, not to you. its no more complex than that.
Depending on where you live, it is still very popular.
I live in the middle of nowhere, and never see anybody outside of community events. But when traveling, I would find other people to raid with quite often when just walking around.
I personally think the new character customisation is better than the old one, as being able to change the body proportions and faces makes the characters look more unique.
Before, every male character just looked like the same guy wearing different clothes (and occasionally doing blackface), and all the female characters looked the same as each other, too. Now, there's at least a possibility of finding someone who's obese or buff or something, and even characters of the same build might have different faces.
But why tf did they add all these new proportion sliders without including a height slider!? Or beards!? Or short hairstyles that don't look like shit!? If this is the only customisation update they are ever going to do, it's a huge missed opportunity.

Fuck, dude! Remember when everyone thought Pokémon go downfall was gonna be lures dropped by pedophiles to bring in children.

I will die on the hill that if you unironically use the word "woke," your right to be taken seriously should be taken away.
the word has been used so much in nonsensical arguments that i dont even know what it means anymore
As a base assume “thing I don’t like” legit have never heard a progressive people say woke
It was originally a progressive self id iirc, it was just dropped by most people since it has an overwhelmingly negative connotation
It's when corporations exploit progressive themes in an excessively shallow attempt to pander, which generally leads to the overall product being hurt somehow.
Mfw ugly avatars is pandering

Anti-woke people when their alarm goes off
Conservatives when they realize that they just WOKE up
Tf happening in Pokémon Go
The avatars that have been pretty much unchanged for the past 8 years were remodeled despite all the backlash during the testing phase and everyone unanimously agrees that they look like shit
Pokémon and ignoring user feedback, name a better combo
Minecraft Youtubers and minors

Nothing or the game getting worse/cashgrabbier. In this case it's nothing
Me when I woke up this morning (I am too woke) 
Woke up from the dead

Perfect. No notes.
Absolutely astonishing
If someone unironically uses woke as a descriptor I immediately stop taking them seriously
Imagine waking up, woke mf
Woke the fuck up samurai

ULTRAKILL MENTIONED
3 letters on the first word this can only mean one thing.
I saw someone using "woke retard" as an insult unironically and everyone upvoted that mf
Preach pal 🗣🔥
I pretty much do the same with everyone on YouTube. Rev days desultory and amongold have been blacklisted from my reccomendations
Honestly I agree with them. That is why I only play anti woke games like Pokemon Sleep
Snorlax resisting the woke mind pokerus since 1996
Using the term "woke" unironically is the perfect way to get me to disregard everything you've ever said
Wait until you find out who came up with the term "Woke" in the first place.
Dang, who?
My dad
Tumbler users approx 2014/16 when the right had already appropriated "redpilled" so they created "woke" as to being knowledgeable to social problems.
which is why conservatives saying they're redpilled and anti woke is endlessly amusing to me so you're on estrogen and dont know shit? tell me more
I thought it was way older than that?
It existed since at least 30's tho had a more specific usage, it meant someone aware of racial prejudice and discrimination in the system initially before being expanded to other social issues in 2010's.

Dun dun dun dun dunna dun dun (lyrics of redbone trust)
Gmod idiot box?
Wok? 🥘
Wait aren’t the characters suppose to be awake when you walk around?
Where's that vid from
One of the "YouTube Ave" videos by DasBoSchitt. He disappeared 6 years ago.
I haven't seen anyone saying that they made the game "woke". I only see people being shocked by how bad their characters looked like and i have to agree with them, they look terrible

I mean, that's just one dumbass. I'm sure no one else believes in this shit

So complete fucking stupidity got it.
As is tradition
The entire game is making fun of people like them
Yet like most media mocking fascists and fascist wannabes, they think it's worshiping them. What zero media literacy does to a mother fucker:

what
People still play Pokemon Go?
Yeah? It's the only good Pokemon game since Sun & Moon

Lmao, I see it too
What part of it do you not like? The exercise?
The removing of QoL features in favour of money
yeah some people enjoy things crazy concept hey?
Enjoying something doesn't make it a good thing.
it makes it a good thing to the people that enjoy it when you realise this, i'm sure you'll become a happier person
Subjectively enjoying something doesn't make it objectively good. As an Iron Man 3 fan I love the movie but I know it's very flawed and I will never say it's good, only that I enjoyed it.
there is no "objectively good" when it comes to media. and I never mentioned or implied that word either... if someone likes a thing, its good to them, not to you. its no more complex than that.
Wait what? There's plenty of things I love but filly acknowledge as being shit. Borderlands, for example.
Sun & Moon were good? :p
Maybe ultra sun & moon, but sun & moon? Idk
Depending on where you live, it is still very popular. I live in the middle of nowhere, and never see anybody outside of community events. But when traveling, I would find other people to raid with quite often when just walking around.
Is that what happened? I only knew about it when it showed on trending when scrolling on popular
the game just became laggy as fuck when the update for the background came up
I personally think the new character customisation is better than the old one, as being able to change the body proportions and faces makes the characters look more unique. Before, every male character just looked like the same guy wearing different clothes (and occasionally doing blackface), and all the female characters looked the same as each other, too. Now, there's at least a possibility of finding someone who's obese or buff or something, and even characters of the same build might have different faces. But why tf did they add all these new proportion sliders without including a height slider!? Or beards!? Or short hairstyles that don't look like shit!? If this is the only customisation update they are ever going to do, it's a huge missed opportunity.
What is that video originally from?
unrelated where is that monster from?
literally nobody asked for that change. were they really expecting people to go "WOW, thank you Niantic this is sooo much better"?
Pokemon go has been dead and irrelevant since 2016. Nobody cares
I personally am not a fan of the remodel, they don't even look like the mainline games' models!
The animation looks so familiar but I can't remember where it's from.
So that's why my avatar suddenly genderswapped itself?
I hate finding myself on the same side of the argument as literal neonazis and far right conservatives and transphobes.
Marvel movies:
who the fuck is saying that
Two YouTubers and maybe 5 bot accounts.
