Yes, Cave Johnson is a dangerous idiot but dude... there's not exactly a large enough sample size to determine that the game is anti-patriarchy. Are we calling Wheatley a man? Because this list also takes issue with robots being seen as humans and frequently brings up "transhumanism." Also including Hogwarts Legacy on this list at all is wild. Like... of course it's gonna be "woke," the game developers had to distance themselves from bigotry as much as possible. True, it's not the most historically accurate for a trans person in the 1800's to have access to HRT, they can't afford to care about that if they want this game to sell. And I can not stress this enough, a fictional trans person in a video game about a school for magic people should not matter. Is the game fun? Is it reasonably priced? Is it buggy? Do the controls make sense? Is the story engaging? These are the things that matter, not whether there are POC or queer characters.

The best part that 100% tells me they never played the games they made the list on is Cave Story, which is classified as having no woke content, Cave Story is a game with a bunch of anti-war messaging, I'm not gonna spoil it much because I genuinely think Cave Story is an amazing game with a great story that you should read for yourself, but (SPOILERS AHEAD) it literally talks about exterminating an entire species using war as a cover.

[@conspiracypanda1200]

Sometimes "this game isn't woke" is code for "I wasn't actually paying attention/I didn't understand the story or themes". (More spoilers below:) Cave Story is so anti-war it murders a little girl in front of you to prove a point about how those who hunger for power and authority casually control and destroy the innocent. Also, it shows how easy it is to stoke hate in people to perpetuate violence against an "other", and how those who enact violence destroy themselves in the process, becoming both monsters and the manipulated victims of their greedy hypocrite of a leader in the same stroke.

[@brahtrumpwonbigly7309]

[@Tony27654]

Because that’s not what a woke game is. It’s not pushing an overtly left wing political agenda about a gay black lesbian turtle or some shit. Being anti-war is not woke. Most “right wing” people are anti war. Everyone I know is anti war. War is hell and does no good for anyone.

​@@conspiracypanda1200 It also depends on what certain people classify as "woke." I've seen the term used to describe radical, "hyper-progressive" sentiment in media.

Remember when Mass Effect series had the gay romance options and nobody cared? Many games did that. It was just for player preference. Nothing wrong with that and it’s not woke. When games become woke is when they push an agenda so blatantly that you have no other choice but to really notice it and you’re forced to take part in it.

[@_wegota2319_]

The problem with modern corporate "representation" is that it offers caricatures and exaggerated stereotypes of marginalized people and then attacks those who critique it in the name of those marginalized people. Now every time people see someone who is not a straight white man in media they say it's "woke." Corporate social justice has actively harmed people like me (a Black woman) and continues to double down. It makes me feel commodified as they peddle my skin color for profit. And for them to say that I can't possibly relate to media that I don't see myself in (ahem, Rings of Power) is them calling me so stupid that I can't possibly grasp big ideas or exercise my imagination if the media is not holding up a mirror to me and shrinking my world and history down to slavery and racism. Corporate social justice is incredibly racist and toxic, and I'm so exhausted by what it has done to the media I love. Now we have this. Everything is "woke." In reality, everything is just extremely disingenuous and performative. They represent nothing but their capital interests and use my skin color and my body as a mascot. That's it. Making a 1400+ item database to track it is an amazing waste of time and makes these people as fragile and obsessive as the "snowflakes" they hate. Edit: some of you seem to think I'm actually calling things "woke." If that's what you think, you completely missed my point. People call things "woke" now when they don't see a straight white man because of the horrific job of "representation" that corporate media has been doing. YES ALSO BECAUSE THEY'RE GRIFTERS, that is incredibly obvious, kinda ridiculous that that has to be said. It is actively harmful to the people they claim to support because it builds social resentment, reinforces stereotypes, and to top it off, these companies regularly attack people for critiquing their poor quality work in our name. That's my point. That is my perspective. Calling me "stupid" or accusing me of "mental gymnastics" because you disagree with my opinion and perspective is embarrassing. I also find it hilarious that some of yall think I'm a guy when being a woman was part of my point lmao. Lastly, I'm not saying this of the specific games mentioned in this video.
