(not having played the game myself) I would argue that characters that only exist to give depth to the protagonist aren't strong arguments for woke, though my understanding was that Silent Hill was nearly explicitly about misogyny
I probably wouldn't say the series is about misogyny as a whole
I think that's kind of flattening the plot of Silent Hill 2, since the whole game is about their relationship. If there is a second character (because it is a little solipsistic), it's the dead wife and not any of the living NPCs encountered along the way, and if there's a third character, it's the woman who is a representation of his fucked-up conception of his wife, i.e. the third character is also still just the first two characters.
