While Jax reads his ending, players are treated to imagery showcasing the European slave trade and Jax in a fighting position with the American flag behind him. Anyone who says you can’t, needs to dream bigger.” But eventually, I knock it out of the damn park. “And I’m not waiting centuries for people to get woke, when I’ve got the power to speed things up.” But most people, who look like me haven’t had that chance. My family and I have lived the American Dream. If I think only about helping myself, what kind of office am I? What kind of man? I’ve been lucky. Newly leaked footage shows Jax claiming victory in Mortal Kombat. Now, footage featuring one of Mortal Kombat’s iconic characters Jax specifically details the game featuring “woke” elements.

The "controversy" seems like mostly a case of manufactured outrage (opens in new tab), as described by Youtuber Shaun in relation to Doom Eternal last year. Outside of some downvotes on Youtube, a few whiny comments here and there about politics in games, and negative user reviews on Metacritic mixed in with complaints about MK11's microtransactions and always-online features, the response has seemingly been, by and large: "Cool."
