    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.
