some of these are taken directly from the "woke content detector" list

Undertale- "Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Multiple non-binary characters that use they/them pronouns, including the player character. Two major characters can form a homosexual relationship."

Hollow Knight- "Contains subtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The npc Cloth is revealed to be a lesbian. An achievement called Happy Couple involves the nailsmith becoming a male model for the npc Sheo."

Celeste- Trans Protaginast

Cassette Beasts: fawking PRONOUNS and all companions can be romanced regardless of gender

Ultrakill: "Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The word 'gay' is spelled out by three mannequins posing in flag symbols. Level 5-S contains a reference to the Blåhaj plushie, a pro-trans symbol"

Sorry We're Closed: : "Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Features multiple LGBTQ+ characters including the player character. Features multiple non-binary characters that use they/them pronouns"

Fraymakers: "Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Features multiple non-binary characters that use they/them pronouns."

a lot of Indie games are "woke" in some way

Does Disco Elysium qualify?

Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including the player character. Heavy social commentary regarding communism. Whether pro or anti is unclear.

They clearly aren't the brightest crayons in the shed

Hades: extremely queer.

they'll just redefine success to mean sell a morbillion units and boom. if all games have poor sales then woke games also have poor sales.

This. Chuds are megalomaniacs. They believe that because of their skin color or any other “normalities” they’re entitled to special treatment. There’s only one rule to their game: “We must always win!”

Who cares if a ‘woke’ game doesn’t make it big? They’ll find some other reason to demand their narcissistic delusions of grandeur be coddled to at every turn.

i think more pathetic than the white chuds are the non-white chuds that also feel entitled to the special treatment chuds feel entitled to, but still to the benefit of the white chuds.

Dwarf Fortress: 100% gender equality, dorfs can be lesbian/gay, ace, or pan/bi

There's a Steam community dedicated to posting about which games are woke and why, so that like-minded individuals can avoid them. Somebody made this tool to scrape it and cross-reference it with your/anyone's Steam library. Kinda hilarious in a depressing way.

Edit: suddenly I realize you were probably asking about the opening quote, not the woke reasoning quotes...

this is a great list to find new games btw. I unironically consult it to find gay stuff

[–] daniyeg@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

im 100% woke.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

No I was looking for literally any context whatsoever since your post didn't link to anything so I was hella confused lol

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

I dunno, this tool seems like a gloryhole with no guarantee of what'll happen if you use it.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Lol so they'll move the goalposts again since the woke broke thing isn't quite working out. Like kevin nash says "Take a shower, hit the weights, get a clue!"
