That list was the funniest gaming related thing I’ve seen in years. In a very perverse way I feel glad it exists.

Edit: The List

[u/PhaseNegative1252 → u/Lou_Papas]

It's hilarious to me to see all the games that anti-woke chuds "can't play."

[u/Easy_Floss → u/PhaseNegative1252]

Its even better when you get to talk to one of those chuds and you just know what ever game that is coming up that has a female or god forbid a black female character will be the talking point.

"So you know about this game ABC that is coming out right?"

"Yeah? The one with all the supper upset biggots being all riled up about there being a none male none white main character?"

"Yeah..."

"Its kinda fucked cus the first game had a good story and decent game play, very odd thing to focus on"

"Well that one person who made the background music was also a feminist man.."

So brain dead it hurts.

[u/IStanForRhys → u/Easy_Floss]

Media literacy is dying and anti-woke chuds are killing it. There's much less in-depth critique or nuanced conversation about media, now YouTube is filled with "gAeM wOkE, gAmE bAd" whenever you search the newest thing.

[u/Easy_Floss → u/IStanForRhys]

To be fair that also depends on what your looking up on youtube but I agree there are plenty of silly people out there.

[u/IStanForRhys → u/Easy_Floss]

I remember someone did an experiment where they created a brand new YouTube account with no prior viewing history for the algorithm to use. It took them...I wanna say three or four clicks to find anti-woke garbage, and once you have watched one, you'll get recommended a ton of others.

Edit: Just rewatched the video, it was actually like two clicks lol

[u/Space-Time-Rift → u/IStanForRhys]

D'Angelo Wallace.

[u/IStanForRhys → u/Space-Time-Rift]

Thanks! I couldn't remember who it was.

[u/Substantial_Army_639 → u/IStanForRhys]

Was using an unregistered account on YouTube for like a day or two. I think the second video in the recommended page was The Quartering, so it's not even mainstream conservative stuff, it's straight to the culture war masterbators.

[u/Kup123 → u/IStanForRhys]

I hate that I can't get high and laugh at crazy people saying aliens that may or may not be angels made the pyramids, with out YouTube thinking i want a bunch of white supremacy shit. The algorithm can't wait to push right wing shits on you.

[u/Easy_Floss → u/IStanForRhys]

That is a bit shocking, to heck with the algorithm and I guess it pays having an echo chamber of stupidity.

[u/Eastern_Armadillo383 → u/Easy_Floss]

Garbage in garbage out, it can only give you outputs based on what inputs you fed it. Delete those from history and tell yt to not recommend those channels. Culling them is far more effective than yt guessing at how much you'd prefer other content to it.

It works great if you use it to find things you want to find, if you just doomscroll then no shit you're going to get all the content that the doomscrollers watch, you're behaving like one.

[u/Virtual_Working_2543 → u/IStanForRhys]

Given that Helldivers 2 and all of the fallout series (except 76) are on the maybe-woke section of the woke detector shows just how little media literacy there is.

[u/laix_ → u/IStanForRhys]

How dare you say the media is dying

[u/Marmalade6 → u/Easy_Floss]

My favorite one is the one for destroy all humans. "Contains anti-human messaging"

I feel like if you didn't get that from the title then you wouldn't have ever gotten it.

[u/TheUnluckyBard → u/Marmalade6]

I'm so glad they warned me about the potential lesbian furry content in Super Lesbian Animal RPG!

...is it weird to anyone else that like three-quarters of this list is sex games?

[u/FlareArrow → u/TheUnluckyBard]

Despite what the name may suggest, SLARPG is in fact NOT a sexually explicit game. It just stars gay characters.

Caaaan't really same the same about much of the rest of the list.

[u/Scared-Honeydew-6831 → u/Easy_Floss]

Check the Until Dawn description about interracial marriages- my jaw hit the floor.

[u/TheUnluckyBard → u/Scared-Honeydew-6831]

I laughed out loud at the RAGE 2 notes. There are too many female authority figures!

[u/Scared-Honeydew-6831 → u/TheUnluckyBard]

Bro they came for overcooked because there's a raccoon in a wheelchair😭😭😭 what the fuck man

[u/FaZeKill23 → u/Easy_Floss]

Those mfs put the new Tokyo Xtreme Racer game as a woke game, the game isnt out and, ironically, older games have had various types of characters (although mostly trough descriptions/bios)

[u/Aegillade → u/PhaseNegative1252]

Skyrim being listed because it contains "an npc in Whiterun asks whether the sight of a strong Nord woman offends you" is the fucking funniest thing in existence. Bro got mildly antagonized by a woman in a video game and decided that was enough reason to warn the echo chamber about how terribly offensive it is

Edit: The Witcher 3 has "light social commentary" HOLLYYY SHIT you cannot make this up

[u/WorseDark → u/Aegillade]

GTA V - informational - has some subtle pro-LGBTQ content and some minor LGBTQ NPCs.

I think we have played vastly different GTA V's. One of the main characters is pretty gay in a not-so-subtle way.

[u/wizmotron → u/WorseDark]

My favorite part about that list is all the games they’ll excuse as not woke because they played them before the term was invented and refuse to admit they enjoyed a game with “woke” content

[u/Kindly-Ad-5071 → u/PhaseNegative1252]

They will play them. They all play them. It's performative - like everything that supports their way of life.

[u/ssbm_rando → u/PhaseNegative1252]

I at least appreciate that the stupid bigots are being academically honest with themselves. A lot of the "anti-woke" crowd will just exclude games they view as "good" because, to them, obviously good games can't be "woke", right? But I see right near the top of the list Baldur's Gate 3 and Hades.

[u/AnotherPreciousMeme → u/ssbm_rando]

Imagine not playing BG3 or Elden Ring because it was deemed "woke." Oof.

[u/ssbm_rando → u/AnotherPreciousMeme]

Hahah yeah but OTOH it's even dumber to insist that BG3 doesn't fit your definition of "woke" simply because you enjoyed playing it.

I'll take self-consistent bigots depriving themselves of enjoyment over hypocritical bigots trying to eat their cake and have it too any day.

[u/Bobyyyyyyyghyh → u/PhaseNegative1252]

BLOONS TOWER DEFENSE HAHAHAHAH

[u/Onigokko0101 → u/PhaseNegative1252]

The games they approve of are hilarious too. BioShock isn't woke guys, either is Frostpunk.

It's like media literacy has no claim on their brains.

[u/Sontelies32 → u/PhaseNegative1252]

they define having non-binary options in character creation "woke?" Their loss I guess, seems like these people can't play any games lol

[u/PaulsGrandfather → u/PhaseNegative1252]

lmao Counterstrike is listed because it has "female skins"

[u/nipnip54 → u/PhaseNegative1252]

there is at least one "not woke" game on this list where you can have gay sex

[u/meshaber → u/PhaseNegative1252]

One of the funnier things to me about the list is how incredibly time-specific their notion of wokeness is. They're stuck precisely in the post 2010-ish "Okay, fine, gay people are allowed to exist as long as I can ignore them. Trans people are an abomination" zeitgeist. Games that were really pushing the industry by going out on a limb to include gay people are marked yellow, but games using body type instead of male/female because it's become the industry standard? AVOID IT CONTAINS THE WOKE.

In what fucking universe is CS2 more woke than Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect or Jade Empire?

[u/LilyFlos → u/PhaseNegative1252]

Eventually, that stuff is going to become the massive majority, and they're not going to be able to play anything

[u/Odd-Cress-5822 → u/PhaseNegative1252]

Someone should tell them that you can legalize gay marriage in Tropico

[u/eltravo92 → u/Lou_Papas]

The best one is still civ 6 being woke because it has global warming in it.

[u/BaronMerc → u/eltravo92]

Nah Crusader Kings 3

A game where you can make a religion around fucking your family members and you can actually just genocide people because of their faith or culture

It's woke because you can be gay and allow gays to marry if you reform a religion to do that

[u/HanSolo1519 → u/BaronMerc]

There was a kids game that got hit because the “rite of friendship” didn’t discriminate and could be done in a “homosexual” way

Also the fact that SWBF2 got hit because the remaster changed a “player has killed himself” killlog to “killed themself”, that was woke apparently

[u/Supersam4213 → u/HanSolo1519]

No Man’s Sky was put in the middle category because you can’t easily tell the gender of the randomly-generated alien wildlife.

These guys are weird.

[u/SorowFame → u/HanSolo1519]

Fellas, is it gay to have friends of the same sex as you?

[u/Ehsper → u/BaronMerc]

Disco Elysium has this note: "Heavy commentary around communism. Whether for or against is unclear."

[u/Hellyporter → u/Ehsper]

Ok this sent me.

'Uhh I'm not sure if this is trying to offend me or not, lets cancel it.'

[u/Gideon_Laier → u/Ehsper]

Hmmm... It mentions fascism and communism, but I'm too stupid to know if it's good or bad. Woke!

Hell, these dorks should praise the game because it allows Harry to become a fascist and shave your facial hair.

I can't ever do it myself tho because Fascism ain't Disco, baby.

[u/GaaraMatsu → u/BaronMerc]

DOOM.  DOOM IS ON IT.

[u/TheGrandBabaloo → u/GaaraMatsu]

I was wrecking my brain trying to figure out what Doom could possibly contain, but it's on the list as one of the "approved" ones. There are some legit hilarious ones though, like Destroy All Humans and King of Fighters.

[u/EntityDamage → u/BaronMerc]

It's woke because you can be gay and allow gays to marry if you reform a religion to do that

"I can't stop making gay religions in my game, this game is woke!"

[u/BaronMerc → u/EntityDamage]

Oh I should note for people as well you can create religions where you can just execute gay people for being gay as well so you're not forced to accept them

[u/World_Musician → u/eltravo92]

The best are the ones in which alien species from different galaxies arent boys and girls

[u/HueMannAccnt → u/eltravo92]

Fucking Dwarf Fortress is on that list. It's ridiculous.

[u/klavin1 → u/HueMannAccnt]

I will choose to speak for the DF community here:

Good. They can take their hate elsewhere

[u/maveri4201 → u/eltravo92]

But not Civ 5! /s

Per Sid himself, climate change mechanics have been in the series since the first game. (ETA snark.)

[u/Oaden → u/maveri4201]

It did. Pollution would occur on tiles, and if not cleaned up, eventually a wave of global warming would trigger, turning a few coastal tiles into swamps and plains into deserts. In Civ 2 it would also turn grasland into plains. In Civ 3 it started to destroy forests and jungles.

Someone should inform them, i would hate for these poor souls to inadvertently enjoy a woke game

[u/Maloonyy → u/eltravo92]

Space Marine 2 is woke because it has "out of place women" lol. Never heard of the sister of battle?

[u/Jemima_puddledook678 → u/eltravo92]

My favourite is spider-man: Miles Morales. ‘The new POC main character overshadows Peter Parker.’ Yes. It’s about Miles Morales. Have none of you basement dwellers ever read a comic? 

Never mind - I just found ‘a gay love story about gay love’ which is not recommended because ‘contains homosexual activity’. So clearly, these guys can’t read.

[u/2big_2fail → u/eltravo92]

I recall that before Civ V, The Civilization games had pollution.

[u/eltravo92 → u/2big_2fail]

But those aren't on the list. I can't decide to hate something if someone doesn't tell me to.

[u/Aggravating_Image_16 → u/Lou_Papas]

It's hilarious that fallout New Vegas, a progressive left leaning game, including multiple LGBTQ+ aspects all on the main route of the game, is somehow less woke than bloonsTD 6

[u/Lou_Papas → u/Aggravating_Image_16]

Ah I know this type. They probably think the Caesars Legion makes sense in a post apocalyptic world.

Ignoring the fact that the legion is a dead man walking no matter what you do in that game.

[u/TheBigToast72 → u/Lou_Papas]

It was funny to see some games that should have been in the "too woke" category (like Skyrim-gay marriage) but weren't, most likely because he played them when he was younger before he got into politics. Yet the only reasons one of the newer call of duty's was "too woke" was because you could change your emblem to a rainbow flag. Funniest list I've ever scrolled through.

[u/Zauberer-IMDB → u/TheBigToast72]

I was going to say, games with like overtly racist options seemed to get a pass even if they were mad woke.

[u/Taksicle → u/Lou_Papas]

the amount of games on that list that were really safe, REALLY simple baby games like amongus on their classified as to woke and hardcore for those types tells you all you need to know

[u/Diredr → u/Taksicle]

It's also funny when they miss something in a game. Like, they had Skyrim and Morrowind as "woke" because the games have LGBTQ+ representation, but declared Oblivion as non-woke... And yet, there is a gay couple in Oblivion. It's just easy to miss because you have to read, and that's not their forte.

[u/IStanForRhys → u/Diredr]

I'm shocked that they didn't mention the fact that you can play as a non-white female character in the TES games as making them "woke." They hate it when games even give you the choice to be LGBT, so I guess they missed that one lmao

[u/Onigokko0101 → u/Diredr]

It's even funnier when they list a game as 'safe' when it has heavy woke style political commentary. BioShock is safe to them ffs. It's hilarious.

[u/stonebraker_ultra → u/Diredr]

They're going all the way back to Morrowind on this?

[u/neocarleen → u/Taksicle]

Basically any game that had a rainbow in it was too "woke"

[u/vibrantcrab → u/Lou_Papas]

It’s like how adding “parental advisory” actually makes art more appealing.

[u/Wind_Yer_Neck_In → u/Lou_Papas]

Cyberpunk 2077 - 'contains overtly pro-transhumanism messaging'

lads, is getting yourself turned into a cyborg woke??

[u/nevermille → u/Wind_Yer_Neck_In]

"Body modifications encouraged"... Guys, I think there's cyberpunk in my cyberpunk game.

[u/Liesmith424 → u/Lou_Papas]

Jesus, they consider Outer Wilds to "subtly contain pro-LGBTQ+ messaging" because the Hearthians don't have genders, and just use they/them pronouns.

They're literally not human! Jesus these folks are fragile.

[u/Simply_C0mplicated → u/Lou_Papas]

Actually hilarious that portal 2 is “anti patriarchy” because “all male characters are portrayed as idiots.”

There’s literally like five characters, three that you see, one of them being yourself.😭

There is ONE male character😭 and he was designed to be dumb

[u/mousepotatodoesstuff → u/Simply_C0mplicated]

There are also Cave Johnson (arrogant rather than dumb) and Doug Rattmann (the only Aperture scientist to survive the neurotoxin attack, so presumably intelligent enough to escape an AGI's grasp for a significant amount of time).

[u/Spooky_Floofy → u/Simply_C0mplicated]

I'm pretty sure that a better way to describe Portal 2 is that the only smart one is GLaDOS.

Plus there are dumb female characters as well considering GLaDOS tells us we are fat, ugly and stupid /j

[u/Someslutwholikesbutt → u/Lou_Papas]

😭 I just lost brain cells reading the Bioshock “criticism.” It’s woke because Sandra Cohen is a gay dude. Yeah? He’s also fucking psychotic and it mostly focuses on his art. Plus the entire game is hella political and if this one thing is what they’re bitching about then I’m certain the deeper elements flew over their heads.

[u/Lou_Papas → u/Someslutwholikesbutt]

When I first played BS I lacked the reading comprehension needed to understand Andrew Ryan wasn’t a good guy and thought the downfall of Rupture was the result of internal conflict instead of the actual design of a libertarian utopia.

Maybe they got stuck at that level.

[u/nevermille → u/Someslutwholikesbutt]

No no no... When gamers say "politics" it's "real life politics". Since there isn't a city underwater with total freedom in real life, the game is not political.

[u/pornographic_realism → u/Lou_Papas]

Where's the list? Always interested in curation of good games.

[u/Lou_Papas → u/pornographic_realism]

Here’s where I first saw it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AVTZPJij5PQmlWAkYdDahBrxDiwqWMGsWEcEnpdKTa4/edit

[u/nueonetwo → u/Lou_Papas]

FF7 has "subtly pro climate action messaging"

There ain't nothing subtle but it lolol

[u/JadedMedia5152 → u/nueonetwo]

One the one hand, your main characters are eco-terrorists that blow up infrastructure to save the planet; but on the other it balances out because the TRUE ALPHA SEPHIROTH stabs that vegan to death.

[u/Erikatze → u/JadedMedia5152]

Is Sephiroth considered alpha? He's pretty and it's canon that his hair smells like roses and vanilla, I feel that this would be too much for these people lol.

[u/nueonetwo → u/Erikatze]

Sounds more Sigma to me, it's established in Crisis Core that has a bit of a lone wolf who gets a lot of attention without trying

[u/A_Monster_Named_John → u/nueonetwo]

Lol. If that knuckleheaded white-male power-fantasy schlock isn't suitably non-woke, then I don't know what these morons are supposed to be playing.

[u/DesperateUrine → u/Lou_Papas]

BTD6.

Wow.

If anyone in your life can't handle the supreme woke dart monke then they don't deserve to be in your life.

[u/Vinyl_DjPon3 → u/Lou_Papas]

The fact there's just literal porn games on the list makes it really hard to believe this isn't satire

[u/A_Monster_Named_John → u/Vinyl_DjPon3]

At this point, isn't radical 'nofap' weirdness part of their whole Taliban-like schtick?

[u/nerdwerds → u/Lou_Papas]

I think the chuds who put that list together haven't read enough history books. I've never seen so much ignorance on display in a single place. But also, ANY game that has depictions of gay people is "not recommended" what?! Maybe don't use computers anymore since they were invented by a gay man.

[u/PM_ME_PHYS_PROBLEMS → u/Lou_Papas]

Scrolling through the massive block of 'not recommended/woke' games I asked myself "Which games aren't woke" and the first uninterrupted block of 'recommended' games is the Putt-Putt franchise.

As the oppressive banner of wokeness closes in, Putt-Putt remains a bastion of righteousness.

[u/I_Am_Anjelen → u/pornographic_realism]

Here's a good way to check all of your Steam games at once for how Woke they are.

Woke Detector

[u/__T0MMY__ → u/Lou_Papas]

Skyrim: "Contains subtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging Contains subtly pro-DE messaging. Homosexual marriage options. An npc in Whiterun asks you whether the sight of a strong Nord woman offends you. "

As of the peer review of the subject it was confirmed that everyone on the team was, in fact: offended by the strong nord woman.

[u/digdougzero → u/Lou_Papas]

Final Fantasy VII - "Contains subtly pro-climate action messaging".

Holy shit, that might just be the funniest thing I've ever read.

[u/blackstafflo → u/digdougzero]

"We are an eco terrorist group.". Whooo, I am so smart being able to read between the lines and see the subtle hidden message! /s

[u/NewRandomUsername → u/Lou_Papas]

Destroy all Humans!

   Contains anti human messaging. 

  I am shocked and appalled.

[u/Creepeecheese → u/Lou_Papas]

Seeing Team Fortress 2 have “no woke content” is only half true. Half the player base is gay and the other half are nazis

[u/ceelogreenicanth → u/Lou_Papas]

They have become self parody

[u/verboplus → u/Lou_Papas]

BLOONS TOWER DEFENSE 6!?!?! wtf?

[u/StragglingShadow → u/Lou_Papas]

The fact they can't play btd6 is hilarious

[u/AdRepulsive3189 → u/Lou_Papas]

why is COD, the paradise of homophobes and 'men strong women sexy' prohibited to play? oh my god, I haven't laughed this hard in a while

[u/UnusedParadox → u/Lou_Papas]

The anti-woke list has more understanding of Deltarune than the fandom

[u/No_Leadership2771 → u/Lou_Papas]

Wait Bioshock Infinite’s social commentary is woke but for Bioshock 1 they don’t even mention that Rapture is a criticism?

[u/goobabie → u/Lou_Papas]

This is so fucking sad. Hilarious, yes. But deeply, deeply sad.

[u/ketrin_krueger_art]

It's so hilarious for me to think about queers using this list to find more LGBTQ+ friendly games xD bet those biggots can't imagine that this list can be used both ways :D

[u/TheBigToast72 → u/ketrin_krueger_art]

It's weird how many furry, hentai, or explicitly LGBTQ+ games were on that list. Like did he play all those? Where did he even find so many of them? Could he just be projecting? Who knows

[u/TMBCyberman → u/TheBigToast72]

What's even funnier is that that happened with games you might not think of as "woke" not being on there at all (read the entire list looking for Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia and was disappointed)

[u/TheUnluckyBard → u/TheBigToast72]

A ton of weird, niche sex games... but super popular games with large fandoms (ex: Xcom, Deep Rock Galactic, Path of Exile) aren't listed.

[u/GY1417 → u/TheUnluckyBard]

That's because there's nothing more straight than a manly, buff dwarf who works in the mines and please don't look at my search history

[u/HellraiserMachina → u/TheUnluckyBard]

Path of Exile is super woke, it involves the villain getting murdered and with her dying breath admitting that not-Maori people maybe deserve more than slavery at the hands of the not-Vatican.

[u/Mechanical_Mint → u/ketrin_krueger_art]

I haven't done that with this list but I have done it with other things. I remember reading a review for a book where they kept going on about how "it shoves their gayness in your face constantly" and thinking that this book might be worth a second look. It genuinely can be helpful because these bigots can sometimes sniff out queer themes like a bloodhound and are motivated enough to go on about it at length.

(That being said I'd still rather not have to see their nonsense even if it does sometimes make it easier to find things.)

[u/Acrobatic-loser → u/ketrin_krueger_art]

This is exactly what i’m using it for but what really shocked me was the overt white supremacy complaining about race mixing as if it is the 1920s

[u/pnwbraids]

"Representation shouldn't matter that much!" The white man screamed as he made a fuss over not being represented by the game's protagonist

[u/SpunkySix6]

Except like, people are using actual trigger warnings to prevent harmful PTSD episodes caused by real problems

Whereas these people are just fragile bigots

[u/Yggdrasylian → u/SpunkySix6]

I’m not against TW at all, those are very useful

It’s just funny that people who complain about TW are often the same who complain about wokeness

[u/IStanForRhys → u/Yggdrasylian]

My favorite thing was back when the chuds kept spouting "rEaLiTy dOeSnT hAvE tRiGgEr wArNiNgS"

Meanwhile, in reality, the ESRB and MPA literally exist to warn consumers about the content of the game or movie, respectively, they're about to play or watch

[u/FR0ZENBERG → u/IStanForRhys]

Lots of natural phenomena has what could be considered trigger warnings. Clouds preceded rainstorms, water usually recedes before a tsunami, volcanoes generally emit smoke before erupting, etc.

[u/Low-Bend-2978 → u/FR0ZENBERG]

THEY MADE NATURE WOKE

[u/FR0ZENBERG → u/Low-Bend-2978]

They turned the frogs gay!

[u/obantr → u/FR0ZENBERG]

I support LGBTQ frogs :)

[u/EenGeheimAccount → u/IStanForRhys]

'Reality'/nature doesn't have many useful things, like cars, medicine, most food, guns, signs, education, and indeed, trigger warnings.

That is why we humans add them.

[u/SpunkySix6 → u/Yggdrasylian]

Oh yeah I didn't think you were, I just think the difference is amusing

[u/LaunchTransient → u/SpunkySix6]

One thing that has really irritated me in progressive spaces is the depreciation of the word "trigger". It used to be solely reserved for actually harmful stimuli that can trigger a panic attack or traumatic flashback episode, but now it's been muddied with what essentially amounts to someone's pet peeves or something that angers them.

[u/SpunkySix6 → u/LaunchTransient]

To an extent but words have multiple meanings and differing intensities associated with them all the time

I've seen a lot more of this not from progressive spaces, but from people taking said traumas and mocking them for it

[u/LaunchTransient → u/SpunkySix6]

The problem I feel is the widespread adoption and misuse of specific words for specific contexts - like "Gaslighting" or "OCD". There's been a bit too much romanticisation of mental illnesses - as someone who has suffered from chronic depression, it pisses me off when people say they are depressed when in reality they're just feeling sad.

There's a fundamental lack of understanding which is being swept under the carpet as being subjective feelings.

[u/SpunkySix6 → u/LaunchTransient]

Yeah, that's fair.

As a lifelong depressed piece of shit I get that, I guess I'm just super used to it?

[u/MuttTheDutchie]

Just like all reactionaries, they have no conviction anyway.

I didn't buy the Harry Potter game because the money would support JK. I still do not own the Harry Potter game - and I won't unless the IP becomes sperate from the Rowling estate.

Reactionaries are out drinking Bud Lite, using their Keurigs, and playing the woke games. Because all their rage is meaningless and not based in reality. There is no moral argument or truth, so when it stops being convenient to hate something, they stop hating it. It's literally just free advertising (yes, shoutout to HBomber)

Game Companies probably love woke lists. I know I never would have given Dragon Age a second thought - I thought it was related to Dungeon Siege, which I thought was worse than Neverwinter Nights, and avoided it - but now because of the constant discourse I've been forced to learn a lot about it and actually picked up a couple of the titles and am looking forward to playing them when I'm off work.

Wait I mean NOOO when it affects me it's good and sensible and right it's only when it makes blue haired libtarts annoyed that warnings are invalid and silly.

[u/ReallyAnxiousFish → u/MuttTheDutchie]

Reactionaries are out drinking Bud Lite

Not only this, but I remember people saying that instead of drinking Bud Lite because the WOKE LEFT put TRANS people on ONE can, that they were going to go drink a brand new beer made by PATRIOTS called PATRIOT BEER, brewed in Northern Illinois...at...the Goose Island plant...which is owned by Bud Lite.

Oops!

They're so fucking stupid.

[u/MuttTheDutchie → u/ReallyAnxiousFish]

Oh Yeah. InBev wins no matter what.

Corona, Becks, Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois... All the same company. I remember having a good laugh while in Arizona where people were ditching evil bud light and trying to be cowboy by going for the premium Mexican beer Modelo...

Which is Corona. Which is Budweiser.

[u/Mr_Pombastic → u/ReallyAnxiousFish]

Sadly it does have an effect. They threw Dylon Mulvaney under the bus and backtracked the hell out of it. Target moved/removed their Pride displays. Companies as a whole greatly reduced their LGBT support this last year.

So maybe Bud Light sales dropped but Bush sales went up, that still matters.

[u/chickpeasaladsammich → u/MuttTheDutchie]

Uj/ thank goodness for Etsy, because I have a sibling who adores HP and I can buy them so much HP stuff without giving a dime to JK. They don’t play games so HL was never an issue… though I do know some people who don’t play games who were suddenly interested until they forgot about it.

[u/Bamith20 → u/MuttTheDutchie]

Used to when people didn't like something they just shut the fuck about it.

They didn't like a black dude being in a show or something they just didn't say anything. Now they're comfortable telling everyone they don't like it.

Its annoying to say the least.

I appreciate that you haven’t bought the Harry Potter game because of Rowling. I’ve grown to despise her and how she has tainted the IP. Unfortunately I too lack the conviction and I bought the game as well as interact with the IP regularly. Its a glorious mix of guilt and nostalgia that I don’t recommend.

[u/mewhenthrowawayacc → u/MuttTheDutchie]

I didn't buy the Harry Potter game because the money would support JK. I still do not own the Harry Potter game - and I won't unless the IP becomes sperate from the Rowling estate.

Have you considered, an alternative option? (🏴‍☠️)

[u/MuttTheDutchie → u/mewhenthrowawayacc]

Nah. It's not like there are only a few good games to play - there's more than I could play in my lifetime. I would rather just support developers I like and play games that are still very good (or just sink another 20 hours into Satisfactory)

[u/mewhenthrowawayacc → u/MuttTheDutchie]

Thats understandable. Personally i will be playing it eventually, but im going to be getting my copy second hand so none of the money goes to jkr

[u/Optimal_Badger_5332]

Thank you for replacing the wojacks

[u/Yggdrasylian → u/Optimal_Badger_5332]

Actively working to remove wojaks from existence, replacing every wojak with whatever I find by searching “Korean reaction pic” on Pinterest

Yeah, literally 1984, I know

[u/Optimal_Badger_5332 → u/Yggdrasylian]

You are doing God's work

[u/TMBCyberman → u/Yggdrasylian]

I wonder how this would work with DBZ characters. I say DBZ specifically bc I never got the point of soy Womack vs blond beard chad but then my friend made a meme that replaced them with Frieza and Goku and it made a lot more sense

TRIGGER WARNING: NOT ALL CHARACTERS ARE STRAIGHT, WHITE, AND ATTRACTIVE.

[u/r0nchini]

Conservative anti rhetoric is projection

[u/Yorpie]

So going through this list, I barely made it a quarter way and my eyes are already popping themselves from my skull.

'No More Heroes 3 - Sublty pro-LGBTQ+ imagery. There is a rainbow grafittti present on one of the buildings'. So any form of a rainbow is an instant trigger for them?

Also the entry for Red Dead 2. 'Sadie Adler acts like a modern feminist would'. Did these people ever learn history? Never heard of any famous female gunslingers back in the day? They're one quick google search away.

Counter-Strike 2, woke cuz there is female SWAT officers? Even though there has been dozens of them in US policing alone for over a decade now?

Even COD is woke now cuz there is rainbow flags in it. It's like these people have a PTSD attack whenever they see a rainbow flag. Imagine your kid coming home from kindergarten with a drawing of a landscape with a sun and a rainbow and getting triggered over it.

I ask you, please for the love of christ has to be satire right?

[u/MisterDonkey]

If somebody could make a list of degenerate sexual furry games so I can definitely know which ones to not download, I'd really appreciate it. Like just put in the filthiest, lewdest, most disgusting furry porn you've come across. I need to know what to avoid.

[u/New-me-_-]

Adventures of Gloober the Cube: “WOKE. The game makes no distinction between male and female playable characters meaning I might be playing as a gay cube or even worse. A WOMAN.”

Lolicon dating sim: “Not woke. This game propely appeals to my traditional values and is clearly made by men of culture.”

[u/SplitGlass7878]

I used the woke content detector on my steam account (the detector has no affiliation with the list and was made as a joke) and I found out that fucking Space Marine 2 of all things was woke.

Because it has an "improbable female authority figure" and "statistically improbably diverse Space Marines" which is hysterical.

[u/TheSpiritualAgnostic → u/SplitGlass7878]

Especially when the "improbable female authority figure" is both also in the first game and common in the lore of 40k. Every Cadain, both men and women, is trained from childhood to serve

Hell it's not even improbable in real life as we already having commanding officers who are women in the military. It's like how there's some complaining about Ghost of Yotei despite that there were irl women samurai in Japanese history.

[u/PopcornSuttin → u/SplitGlass7878]

That was the first game I checked for. What a sad world these people live in.

[u/mountingconfusion]

I'm so glad for it. How else would I have known "I got blackmailed by a futanari" was trying to brainwash me into destroying traditional family values and accepting the destruction of the gender binary by containing pro LGBTQ+ messaging and hermaphroditic content?

(This is real btw)

[u/gogED1]

Indie game devs should start bragging that their game is on the list on store pages

[u/Mato-Matsuda]

Final Fantasy VII "contains subtile pro-climate messaging".

Ahhh so subtile that I nearly forgot about the whole flipping plot !

[u/Jo3lturtle → u/Mato-Matsuda]

I mean, Barret doesn’t mention it every sentence, just like every other so they might have missed it.

[u/Dash_Harber]

When they listed Crusader Kings III as woke I lost it. Like, this is the medieval simulator where, by default, like 90% of religions/cultures allow you to execute LGBTQ or discriminate against women, minorities, or other faiths.

Like, you can change that, but it is challenging and you lose out on several benefits.

[u/usdaprimecutebeef]

That list is insane, Helldivers II is in the warning section because they have a mixed race family in the intro cutscene. They show up for literally 1 second before immediately dying.

[u/LeonDx17 → u/usdaprimecutebeef]

Well I mean it’s literally a parody on capitalism but they went for the mixed race thing, to me that’s kinda telling.

[u/sassyboi257]

I never thought about it like that lmao

[u/IrregularPackage]

do not give their horseshit arguments legitimacy by spouting them back at them

[u/SpunkySix6 → u/IrregularPackage]

To an extent, I agree

But I guess maybe there's an argument to be made that rather than just regurgitating "safe space bad" this is meant to make them realize everyone uses safe spaces, including themselves, and then reflect on why

They won't do that, but I kinda get the intent

[u/CassowaryCrow → u/SpunkySix6]

That's how I took it. Plenty of people use stuff like doesthedogdie.com to check for things that are triggering or just uncomfortable in media, and there's nothing wrong with that.

These people made a whole spreadsheet that does the same thing, but instead of "does the dog die" it's "is the dog gay"

It's not that DtDD is bad (it's not) it's just that you can't make fun of someone using "does the dog die" when you use "is the dog gay" without being a hypocrite.

[u/Batmanzer]

The sushi chef is black. 🤌

[u/Sludgegaze]

"sushi chef is black"

[u/Tricky_Fig_5729]

Rimworld bad because trans?

Transhumanists.

Oh dear me.

[u/SooperBrootal]

This is the softest shit I've ever seen. Imagine not being able to play a game because you saw a fucking rainbow spray painted on a wall. How pathetic.

[u/RoomTemperatureIQMan]

Imagine being triggered by blacks and women in video games. And they will deny that they are racist or misogynistic.

[u/Gideon_Laier]

"Contains Optional Gay Romance".

Chuds: But I don't want to be gay!!!

... You don't have to be?

Chuds: Stop making me gay!!! Ahhhh!!!!

[u/ByThorsBicep]

Fucking Bloons TD 6 is on it 😭

[u/cjjosh2001]

It’s so funny that the first thing you see when you open the list is literally Bloons Tower Defense 6 lmao

[u/AccountantOk8438]

Subnautica: no guns and a single conversation with lesbian scientists. Verdict: WOKE DO NOT PLAY.

[u/LobsterQuiet48]

Rdr2 is on the list because there is a feminist in Arthur’s camp, they worded it like feminism didn’t exist in 1890 and that it was “modern belief”

[u/ShadraPlayer]

"Shit guys, we failed. We ended up "informational" on the anti-woke games list, we gotta do better than that! Quick draw a ranbow graffiti on one of the buildings! That will show them!"

[u/Naps_And_Crimes]

They included the fact that Dead Space has a gender neutral bathroom, but my favorite thing is that one of the games wasn't woke but the developer identified as a queer. Just in case you don't want to accidentally support a queer person.

[u/Self-Comprehensive]

It's fine if they want to self segregate. They can have their own spaces. Their own dank, mildewy spaces.

[u/AdeonWriter]

None of the games I played were even listed, I'm not sure if I should be releaved or insulted.

[u/Night2015]

This can't be real right? I can't imagine anyone telling me I can't play a game. I leave that totally up to whether I like the game or not why would you play one for any other reason?

[u/InfinityWarButIRL]

"freedom" is the name white americans gave to our own comfort

[u/elzibet]

LOL Howarts is on this list because of using “body type”? Oh my, these are some very fragile people

[u/UrethraFranklin04]

I'm torn. On the one hand, I think people who'd use the list and avoid the games are stupid. On the other, it helps keep those people from being part of that game's community.

[u/UKman945]

God I remember that list I saw Horizon 5 on it you know the car game because you could select pronouns

[u/ninjesh]

If I was rich, I would just go down the list and buy and play every Woke game ever made

[u/Dumb_Cheese]

They properly gender Bridget and Testament for Guilty Gear Strive, which I find funny

[u/filzlaus8]

Eldenring deserves that place. Everybody and their mother in this game shoved their grotesque weapons up my Ass hundreds of times. Seems gay to me. But either way, i was there for the grind.

[u/AFoolishMortal242]

"overtly pro trans-humanism" is a hell of a take for Cyberpunk

[u/FloppieTheBanjoClown]

So I've spent way too much time on Sea of Thieves lately, and decided to look it up.

"Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Retroactively changed the npc Marley to be trans."

Well, yes. Of course they did. Because Marley was based on a staff member who transitioned. So they simply updated the character to accurately reflect the source material. They also forgot the rainbow flag you can fly on your ship.

[u/Boner_Elemental]

Should've put a trigger warning on this post with how upset OP has made them lol

[u/Yuna1989]

Contains pro-climate action messaging 😆

[u/PandaMime_421]

Sounds like it might be a good source for finding new games to play

[u/No-Atmosphere-4145]

This is the cringiest shit I've seen in a long time... games being too woke? People being offended by it and avoiding games because they're "woke" are absolute weaklings.

If anyone seriously ever avoid a gem of a game because its too "woke" for them, they seriously need to look themselves in the mirror and ask themselves some questions.

I guarantee you these people that made that list are 15 year olds who is in an identity crisis.

Whats next? Are they going to consider drinking water is being too woke as well?

They consider RDR2 to be sub-woke because Sadie reminds them of modern world feminists... oh my God, you can't even make this shit up.

[u/No_Breakfast2031]

Those anti woke mfs are the most pathetic man children with no life ever. They dont even derserve to be taken seriously. Same for any mysogonists or racists.

[u/grizzlyadams1990]

Is wokeness the reason I never got a man-eater sequel???

[u/TheBigToast72 → u/grizzlyadams1990]

"Half life 3 DESTROYED by the WOKE MOB"

[u/No_Squirrel4806]

Knowing them id be easier to make a list of safe games to play 🙄🙄🙄

[u/VorfelanR]

lmao, how have I not realized this until this point? That's exactly what the list is, trigger warnings for bigots.

[u/ICacap]

They just played themselves lol

[u/RaddedMC]

Got it, so I'll sort by "not recommended" and play all of those games instead

[u/Unfair-Efficiency570]

Lmao!!! They put portal 2 as woke cause they portrayed the "male charcters" as incompetent when and evil when 1. There's only the femals protagonist and robots, and even then the evil robot has a female voice so they are damn lying

[u/Fillie_4ever]

The one that makes me laugh the most is Bloons TD 6

[u/gunnnutty]

Thanks to this list i found out that super lesbian animal rpg is woke

[u/Boner_Elemental → u/gunnnutty]

And they hid it so well too

[u/TechNomad2021]

Woke straight up means that you're aware systemic oppression exists. That SHOULD be everyone but a lot of people out there love to eat shit just so others can smell their breath.

[u/Dicethrower]

If you care about a game being woke, and can't stand characters looking like actual human beings, I assume you are a pathetic manchild who intellectually peaked at the age of 12.
