In the Japanese versions of Nier Replicant and Nier Gestalt in 2010 , Kaine was designed as a character with some elements that some would see as pretty fuckin’ woke. I don’t consider it super woke because it serves the story and character but I believe some of you would.
They removed it from the western version because they thought the market wouldn’t like it.
I would be surprised if they kept this censorship in the Replicant remake.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they started using this element as a marketing tool, to be honest.
I’m always in the “Fuck Censorship” camp and was not okay with the change when I learned about it.
I’ll be happy to see the correct version of that character presented but imagine they’ll be a few pretty pissed people in this community, if they play it, not knowing.
Any wokeness around the character, Kaine, is not a game going woke. It’s an element that was always meant to be there.
I’m not going into specifics because spoilers but you could look it up if you wanted to.
To me, Nier Gestalt is one of the best games on the PS3 and I cant wait to try to the Replicant version.
If just the inclusion/presence of something rainbow-related makes your anti-woke senses trigger and worries you, you might be a tad too sensitive. The full fledged lore of the game and the incoming enhanced decision is definitely not for you if that is the case. Yoko Taro’s works are not “woke” the way western civilization tries to be “woke”. It’s still about acceptance and the person, not identity politics.
