On a scale of 1 to 10 how woke is this game?
I see some threads saying that it's woke. And I want to know how much.

The only thing I've seen confirmed is the black void in the panty shots, which is censorship that could happen if it's either a liberal or conservative who's dominating the cultural status quo.

One clown mentioned "woke" voices but didn't provide any examples. I'm against woke garbage but these threads are just bait to farm clown emoji's and demoralize.

Setting aside that fact that 'Woke' really does not mean anything, and no Amerikoid has given a worthwhile definition thus far...

Granblue is infamous as THE gay gacha game. It was the first big time gacha to feature two girls kissing unequivocally and unambiguously, just earlier this year.

There are likely more gay characters in Granblue than straight ones. Out of the roster we got
Lancelot, Yuel, Vira, Fastiva, Cagliostro, and Belial/Avatar Belial as expressly LGBT+.

The only openly straight characters in the GBVSR roster right now are Metera, Soriz and Lowain.

Most of the others don't express any attraction to others per se, or are ambiguous in canon.

It most definitely is not infamous for that since 99% of the characters don't give a preference outside of whatever MC you've chosen and no one has ever really cared about that kinda thing in Japan in regards to Granblue.

Vira is the only one that has ever had any kind of significance on that front in the limelight because she used to be a crazy yandere. Belial is just known as deviant for obvious reasons, Cag is just an anime trope and consistently gets called uncle by their granddaughter, Ladiva is extremely unpopular but is in fact the only character that ever mentions their orientation without beating around the bush.
its woke as ♥♥♥♥ now leave and never come back

Not woke at all, compared to street fighter 6 at least, that game made me sad and it's freaking Japanese as well :/

I haven't noticed anything different from the OG Version tbh.
The only thing is the inability to take panty shots in the gallery mode.
If you talk about costumes, there is a button in the options to remove the "safety" they put in.
Other than that, there isn't anything different from the Gacha Game.

Not woke. There's nothing wrong with having those kinds of characters. The problem arises when people following an agenda change the character lore or use a game for political propaganda. Although the game may have diverse characters, its storytelling, character development, and representation do not align with the principles of being "woke".

OP are you blind to ask such a question? I mean if you don't see it, why would it matter to you? I'll give it a 5 on the wokeness meter, let's see if you can figure out why?

Didn't play Rising myself, but just like other Chinese titles, GBVS rode on LBGT agenda.

First of all, there is your typical strongman called a woman (and voiced by the same actor narrating Leo in GG, lol). Then, there are some lesbian vibes around Narmaya character and another I have already forgot. Oh, and some "trans-loli" character, too. And anatagonist being a gay. Not the only one, likely.

If you want a numeral estimate, I'd call 1 out 1. Because I can only count binary.

Is this the same troll posting the same question on every game's discussion board?

LGBT+.

Im cool with gay characters and macho muscle cow humanoid dressing as an idol but the LGBT+ tag is cringe af. Keep it out.

There are mistakes.
First Granblue is from Japan, the game was made by former Final Fantasy Developers who left SE.

The characters in question already existed in GB for a long time, some as long as 10 years.
We have Fastiva, who's primarly an entertainer, with her whole wrestling stick.
Then we have Cagliostre, who was Alchemist and an old man, but made himself a new body looking like his passed away sister. He is also obsessed with cuteness.
Then you have Yuel, who is married to Societte.
Zeta
And of course Vira being after Katalinas butt.

Some of these things are already over 10 years old, what was way before the whole woke craze really started.
And honestly, it is way better and way more natural here, than the west could ever hope of doing it.

3/10 => We have Ladiva and Cagliostro (think he is a woman and a magical loly transgender), we have some lesbians... 2 gays, and the rest are ok: they are here to fight, not to have sex with other characters so they don't speak about gender or sex.
The design, and story are not woke, so it's ok (for exemple, Street fighter 6, Guilty Gear with a huge LGBT+ roster and Mortal Kombat with his censorship are really woke). Actually Granblue is not really woke, more like King of Fighter so it's cool.

Looks like only T8 is not woke. My respect for it grows every day.

0 woke
black void doesnt count because that has been a thing since ps2 era
festiva (that's ladiva for you gaijins) also doesn't count because the trope also exists since the inception of anime
