>>3077167I played the game when it first came out, and Duke was seen as the most masculine, biggest badass of all time, with the best quips. People laughed, but they laughed with him, because he was most awesome badass of al time.
The idea that he was some kind of hyper-masculine overcompensating parody that we were laughing AT is some kind of modern SJW revisionist history.
The world was not infested with the SJW mindset in 95-96, all you had was the earliest beginnings of "politically correct", which was marginalized, and certainly not something the youth gave a fuck about.
Most of the SJWs today we're barely born when Duke hit the scene.
