    Factorio is considered “slightly woke” since enemies attack pollution producing machinery… Holy hell these guys are insane

    Looked up my list and it’s really curious to see the ratings for my favorite games. Some games were marked “woke” for things I absolutely wouldn’t have thought of, while in other games I think some of the messaging flew over their heads.

    Woke: Counterstrike, because there are female skins

    Not Woke: FTL, where the main goal is to defeat an organization of violent racist facists.

      Ehh, I’ve played the game a fair bit over the years and haven’t noticed that detail

          I didn’t use to read the texts too carefully when playing, so idk, I don’t remember it. But Wikipedia agrees with you, so I guess that’s how it is.

          Come to think of it, even if they missed the narrative motivation, they would still have to count it as woke because it has female crew members who are just as efficient and strong as male ones. I shit you not, that was their complaint regarding Age of Empires 2 and 3

            The human supremecist plot is told through bits of text but also the fact that all rebel ships have 100% human crew.

            Meanwhile the Federation (which is the government the player is fighting to preserve) values diversity and attempts to make peace with all the aliens.

            One of the achievements you need to unlock one of the federation ships is to have a crew with at least 6 different species or something like that.

    Just wanted to point out the Metal Slug section of the list. It’s woke because the frontline soldiers are women.

    These “people” are mentally deficient.

    This list is hilarious. It’s so inconsistent. Assassin’s Creed is woke because of a line in the fucking start screen of the game. Most games I love are woke according to them. What a sad existence must these people have when they cannot play all these great games. Cyberpunk? Woke! Satisfactory? Woke! Hades? Woke! Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor? Both woke! Celeste? Extremely Woke!

    They should make a second meme page for it that changes woke to based and reverses the colours while keeping the comments intact.

    i lol for the final fantasy 15 one

    Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. In Lestallum, women work in the factory while men raise children and take care of the household. There is no explanation for why this is the case.

    also ff7 being subtle pro climate messaging and forced ecoterrorism lol fellas is it woke to stop an ancient alien from another world from destroying the planet with a meteor?

    Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Option to make the player character a man married to another man. Features homosexual interactions and romance.

    can u believe they put an option to make a male pc marry another man in dream daddy the gay dating simulator? what’s this world coming to?

    asdklajdklajdakd @ assemble with care: “Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. The player character is a WOC who can fix any antique. She immediately finds plenty of work in a town she has never been to before. 2 of her 4 clients are also WOC.”

    Perfect list to buy new games.

    Maybe we should have one of these but for socialism-friendly lists; games that are produced for and by a self-organised worker corporative!

    I like how Helldiver’s II is “slightly woke.”

    It’s perfect. Because I have seen actual fascist sympathizers get angry about the idea of it being satire.

      Add a checkbox that’s labeled woke mode, but never explain what it actually does.

        you have to enable it to play the game, otherwise your character just keeps sleeping and the game never starts

          Indie game blobun did basically that. Unwoke gamers could disable lesbians from an option in the menu. Selecting this removed the main character, who is canonically lesbian, from the game leaving it unplayable.

        A shit, that’s gonna be hard since I’m not implementing gender at all. Cause they say to only write what you know, and I don’t know no genders…

          They consider that woke too. Dinkum has ungendered characters and is therefore apparently woke

            Wait, it does do something. If you check the box then a little pop-up tells you “10% of the population hate you now :)”

        It’s hard to explain, but it’s a web game in a similar vein to Neopets, but the active gameplay leans more in the direction of a Rougelike 😆 It probably requires quite the specific taste to enjoy it, I’m just building exactly what I would like to play myself haha

      Looking through the list it seems that adding optional they/them pronouns for the player character is enough.

    I love Woke Content Detector. It’s sold me on a whole bunch of games over the last few months. I would never have stumbled upon Kitsune Tails without their recommendation. :)

    I thought it’d be fun to check the Assassin’s Creed games. All super woke for about as absurd reasons as you can imagine. My favorite one though was Assassin’s Creed Black Flag which is woke apparently because it shows Mary Reed engaging in crossdressing. Which is funny because if you go to the Wikipedia page for Mary Reed you’ll see an 18th century wood engraving of her dressed in men’s clothing.

    This is hilarious. Randomly reminds me of some website from the 1990s/early 2000s that had “Christian” movie reviews. Even the most innocuous films imaginable were labelled mega offensive. Except for explicitly Christian films, and one old film which the author really liked so it was only labelled mildly offensive after an impressive show of mental gymnastics.
