And leave reviews saying "Bought this game because it was on the anti-woke curator's list. Thanks"?

Edit: it seems like people understand this post as a "let's buy non-woke games". I mean it as "use the list to find 'woke' games" and buy those. Not mindlessly, of course. But review-bombed "woke" games can have a harder time (especially in their forums), because of such curators and it could be a good way to discover actual good games that are subjugated to hate coming from these curators and groups.

OP, I'm assuming you mean should we buy games that are on these curator's lists as being "too woke" just to spite them? I think folks are a little confused about what your question/argument is, here. Also the typo in the title isn't helping.

Yeah, woke. Oops.

I'm not suggesting "buy every game on this list" but to use it as a means to discover games. There are probably good games on there which get undue hate from the curator's followers and are not very well know. The followers do try and review bomb the games, so they don't bubble up to the top naturally.

Haha. I already do this.

I've discovered lots of great games and media after being warned about one "woke" aspect or another.

I guess I'll go check out this list.
