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

        THIS website is a joke but its pulling from a real list that isnt a joke and is entirely unironic.

        I figured traffic to this site vs the original list was better for everyone so I didnt include the original source.

        Even so, there are enough stupid people that seriously believe this stuff and think their opinion is more popular than it is thanks to such jokes

    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.”

    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.

    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!

    Monument Valley 2

    • All characters are female. The story is about motherhood and gameplay revolves around the player character and her daughter.
    • According to Art Director, David Fernández Huerta, the inspiration for Level 1 of The Archipelago was Drag Queen Kim Chi:
    • As previously mentioned by Aerctaure, [“has a bonus level featuring pro-environmentalist messaging sponsored by an anti-deforestation charity”] The Lost Forest level was added as part of a contribution to Playing for the Planet’s Green Game Jam 2021:

    It is actively depressing that this exists and people use it unironically.

    Like, it makes me embarrassed to categorize myself as a “gamer”.

    Train Sim World 5: “The DB BR 403 ICE 3 Railbow DLC features a pride flag, mirroring Deutsche Bahn’s real-world ‘Pride Initiative.’” So woke for accurately representing a real-life livery.

      I love the thought that someone “anti woke” played through Gay World just to make sure it is actually woke

    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.

    1. I tried seeing if the site has Amorous on there because it’s, IMO, the poster child for furry VNs and I couldn’t find it. Absolute tragedy the people behind the original list or whatever haven’t been exposed to it because I’d love to see the meltdown they’d have over it.
    2. Shame that I’d have to change the privacy feature on my account to see how “woke” I am because I’m sure it’d say I’m definitely woke. Especially since I like Amorous.
    3. Apparently the first Hitman game, the game about killing people, is woke because of diversity in a game set in 1999. How low can you sink?
    4. I LOVE how they mark BioShock 2 of all games not woke. The main antagonist running Rapture at that point is a woman, so you’d think those idiots would immediately mark it as woke because it’s set in the past. That and just because she’s a woman in power.

    I’ll probably quickly change the setting on my account and see what the site says, for fun, and change it back right after. I checked my friend and it gave him a woke score so good for him.

    I checked my account before posting my comment and it says I’m not woke. Crazy thing is, if the original people had more of the games on my list in their “woke” steam list or whatever, they’d absolutely call me woke. They’d probably have the biggest meltdown over things like the Danganronpa series, Dofus/Wakfu/Krosmaga ( female deities/fighters ), and the BlazBlue series.

      1: They do have “A Gay Love Story About Gay Love”, marked as Woke, though. 4: It’s because she’s a villain doing things portrayed as big mistakes. See also the Portal 2 discussion:

      On the scientists, I think it would be less Woke if they were all female. It seems that the events in the games take place in large part because the arrogant/foolish scientists lose control of their own experiment.

      Maybe it’s just me, but them being able to create amazing technologies seems like less of a problem if they lose control and all die as a result.

      There’s an implication there that they got in over their head and/or were incapable of handling the work they were doing.

      I think that’s a pretty good example of the effects of DEI in the workplace.

      Not to get too far into the weeds, but you could relate this to what has happened to Star Wars/Star Trek.

      A bunch of women in corporate positions produced a bunch of new media (which generated tangible results at first) but then the whole thing collapsed as a result of their methods and the IP are essentially dead at this point.

      Maybe not an exact comparison, but there are parallels.
