These outrage tourists call every "woke" if it fits their narrative.
Zelda: echoes of wisdom features Zelda as a playable character? Woke! Hades 2 having gay gods and Hephaistos being in a wheelchair? Woke! A game having the option to chose your pronouns in the character creator with no change in the actual story/narrative? Believe it or not: woke! /j
Disco Elysium is an actually very political and leftist game, but no one calls it "woke", because it's incredibly good and popular (also: these chodes probably wouldn't even get the game).
Baldur's Gate 3 has everything they complain about, but it's not criticized, because it is loved by the community.
I mean, people do call Disco Elysium "woke commie political garbage" because being a fascist in that game is paramount to self harm and they don't like introspection.
It's probably the only time they're right, when they call a game "commie".
It's still a phenomenal game and they can't help but cope.
Yeah, every ideology gets mocked in the game. But I feel like while fascists are shown as pitiful weiners, the commies' plight is shown like a tragedy. Also, the writers thanked Marx and Engels when accepting an award for the game, so... yeah. ๐
