🔴 Guessing if Video Games are "Woke" (Ft. Dollip Daze, Redbuddi and Lady Emily)

[@missingno.6224]

Thank you, Dad.

[@SpaceHeggo]

Now make a timestamp for every consonant uttered.

[@jatarokemuri5443]

Salty, fun fact. In 3:32:54 that game actually did exist. Pokémon Gold Silver, and Crystal. Around that time, pokemon gender was based on physical attack IVs, so pokemon that were female were simply worse at physical attack. This means that Pokemon Crystal is the least woke Pokémon game of all time, doing this and cutting Ampharos.

[@polarknight5376]

51:23 for me to remember. 1:26:02 another reminder

[@thesecondtonysoprano]

I swear to God. I made a comment on the original video saying, "to not be woke, you just need to make an abstract game with no discernable features". but apparently not! The fact that a game consisting of ABSTRACT SHAPES AND COLORS is woke because of SELF-APPRECIATION AND MENTAL HEALTH THEMES is utterly insane. The fact that these people take themselves seriously is ridiculous.

[@tophatcat1173]

Honestly i think its great, because these people have unironically made a fantastic list of queer indie games that i can now find and play specifically because of them.

[@Bighomie39]

​@tophatcat1173 it's really telling that most of the "non-woke" games are significantly less interesting than the "woke" ones. Like, if I had to play and rank each game on the list (which I don't think someone could do within a human lifespan), I feel like the woke games would float up towards the top more often than not

[@Glory2Snowstar]

It’s become the hottest new benchmark of success for me, I eagerly await the day one of my games gets called woke. I mean I’ve already made a short visual novel revolving around the dangers of consumerism and it’s got pink-ish text, I should have this in the bag.

[@SundayMpreg]

Appreciating yourself is gay so it's woke obviously

[@littleratfella6857]

Fart Quest 4: Fecal Realm is safe from the woke mind virus at least

[@Prahty]

Death and Taxes referring to everyone with they/them pronouns is almost definitely just something to make creating the game easier, But id like to add that the developers first language is Estonian, a language that doesn’t have gendered pronouns.

[@SiRenfield]

Yeah these people might’ve underestimated the fact that in some of the they/them cases it’s more just “makes our jobs easier”. Like by that logic Lego DC Supervillains is woke because it’s in that latter category. Which u say that but *they already listed multiple Lego Games as woke!*

[@gonzoengineering4894]

BRB, moving to Estonia to be around as much wokeness as possible. I will not be doing any further research on Estonia, I'm sure this linguistic quirk is all I need to know.

[@SiRenfield]

@ From what I understand it’s okay at least. Finland also has that quirk of no gender pronouns and that doubles as a Nordic country so you can probably guess how woke they (broadly) are LOL

[@Prahty]

No country is a woke paradise but id say I’m pretty content with me living here.

[@JoshucaVA]

When they say "DEI" what they mean is "There is at least one black character that isn't a slave, but is still working"

[@SiRenfield]

I mean you can tell it’s definitely code because the Hitman World of Assassination trilogy was branded as having no woke content…one of the first things you see is a DEI screen going on about how the dev team is pretty diverse. And that’s not even getting into the actual content!

[@neevko267]

The woke detector group actually acknowledges that Kris from Deltarune is non binary. Woke detector somehow has more reading comprehension than most deltarune fans

[@nickythehickey]

similar thing happened with don’t starve. one of the survivors has only ever been referred to by they/them and even the title mx. in official media, the woke list recognizes it but a lot of the fans will argue with you if you point it out

[@DeeJamBee]

That’s what I’m thinking. This is honestly a pretty good place to find cool lil indie games I would’ve never heard of before if not for the “generosity” of the creator of this database playing all these games to find the “woke.” It really goes against what it’s meant to be.

[@Slenderquil]

If I ever end up making a game, I'm gonna "report" it to the woke detector list for free advertising.

[@rapdactyl]

@@DeeJamBee It also has a lot of some very mature-looking games, as in I think you need to enable mature content on steam to see them. That's why I think the list isn't satire, there are too many random unheard of games in it

[@MxPokirby]

We'd love to hear them try to explain how games you *might think could be* """woke""" actually aren't.

[@Idkpleasejustletmechangeit]

@@MxPokirby they wouldn't do that though. What is woke or what is not is entirely vibes based, so if you think it may be woke, it is.

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic563]

​@@Idkpleasejustletmechangeit Woke is a state of being, an art form, a concept that defies definition. Even the great Zampanò would struggle to define woke. If you wish to become woke, you must first let go of hard rules and let the gender fluid flow through your veins.

[@arempy5836]

To them, Not Woke is the default and Woke is the deviation. Just like white and straight is the default with all other people being deviations. "I don't have an Accent"

[@oceanicartgal]

Omg omg okay I wanted to talk more about the OK KO thing specifically bc I go wild when it gets brought up all of a sudden. Hyperfixation haha (I tried bringing it up in the chat but idk if my comment went through so I'll just say what I want to say here-) It's funny how they list the reason why OK KO Let's Play Heroes is "woke" because of a tweet by one of the crew members describing Rad as "pretty fluid" in regards to what his sexuality was (he's not confirmed genderfluid per se, the post was a response to someone asking if Rad was straight or something else since the show touched on Enid being bi-), when the game itself LITERALLY has a quest where KO has to help Enid get Red Action (the pink-haired lesbian girl who's her crush and later became her gf in the show) to notice and like her posts. There was even a moment during the quest where Red says to KO "what are you, some kind of social media cupid?" after he suggests that she and Enid should "social media" each other. Also the "X" wasn't in regards to Twxtter, it's quite literally Rad's last name/initial bc he's an alien from Planet X. His full name is literally "Radicles X". And that's pretty much all I have to say. Sorry for the rambling-

[@emminet]

I love OK K.O.! LBH, and I love the game, too!!

[@Sscorpika]

oh hey I think I recognize you

[@reallyradrabbit]

I love ok ko so much it’s like if being gay and neurodivergent was the norm

[@entothechesnautknight1762]

Didn't Rad literally say that Enid's dad was hot in the literal exact same tone, cadence, and blush he had to seeing Enid's hot mom?

[@oceanicartgal]

@@entothechesnautknight1762 He did call both of them hot, but he never blushed in that scene. However he did blush a couple times in scenes involving him and Raymond since they are confirmed to have mutual crushes on each other and would've developed into a rival pairing according to the creator had the show not been canned.

[@Where_am_I978]

1:19:29 the funny thing about dragon marked for death is it’s only “woke” because the player can choose different characters so the dialogue is gender neutral 😭 it’s not even actually woke

There are pro-environmentalism themes (you stop Eggman from harming little animals), capable women on the front lines (ex: Amy or Blaze), DEI hires (Knuckles), lesbians (Tangle and Whisper, who are cannon), and more. The only Sonic games that are not woke are Sonic Shuffle and Dream Team, since the characters are in dream worlds in those games. Edit: Also Eggman is considerate of Sage's pronouns in Frontiers and Barry from The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is nonbinary.

[@iananderson4754]

Earlier they said it wasn't woke. So it's like they are looking for any excuse to call anything woke.

[@hondaaccord1399]

Ultrakill is the most LGBT+ game ever simply because it beams a spotlight down on the "ally" magic. Just make something fun without preaching hate, conservatives hate when there isn't *their* propaganda in the game

[@the_godbodor7026]

Btw, they worded it weirdly in the summary but Hollow Knight’s Happy Couple achievement is between the Nail Smith (Male) and Nailmaster Sheo (Male) and so going by the achievement name they are a MLM couple. Calling Nail Smith just “a male model” doesn’t really express the same

[@adamgrogory]

3:23:05 I would like to point out that Boudicca is a real historical figure who led a revolt against the Roman Empire in what is now England in 60 AD. She had an army of 120 000 strong and Roman historians state that she and her followers killed 70 000 people, and defeated the 9th Hispanic Roman Legion. "Fighting one-on-one with officers of the Roman Legion" is something she demonstrably could do. Not that these losers would know that.

[@flyingsnail_art9170]

was thinking the exact same thing!!!

[@guster-animations]

“historically inaccurate female characters” 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@fallenaither]

The Hollow Knight one is so funny to me because not only do they ignore the side quest that centres around a lesbian couple (being vague to not spoil too much but they probably didn't get far enough into the game/were not able to complete the side quest), they also completely misrepresent the relationship between Sheo and the Nailsmith because they're literally a couple, something that was confirmed by the devs. Also the player character and several key figures in the game are agender and use they/them pronouns.

[@fallenaither]

Like, "male model" my ass, those bitches gay!

[@IAm9Tales]

Steins;Gate's trans woman literally asks the main character to use time travel to make her AFAB and IT SOMEHOW WORKS??? You know, just normal cishet male behaviour.

[@bupcereal8384]

[Spoilers for 2:29:40 ] The thing about Bayonetta not being woke is the fact that a core part of the game is that you’re a witch that beats up angels. Can’t you literally interpret that as some anti-religious sentiment, or something that challenges traditional values? I’m just so confused.

Let's go Scarlet Hollow mention!! I want to say Scarlet Hollow is a FANTASTIC game where you go back a town where your estranged aunt passes away and you find out the mysteries of strange things that are happening in it (The Deer lumps are just the TIP of the iceberg this game gets stranger), the many different paths and choices you can make completely changes your experiences and change the characters around you, the costumiation of your character and how they change your game (including but limited too the ability of talking to animals and being a fucking weirdo(mystic)) and best of all you get to annoy your COUSIN TABITHA (I love annoying her she's so groopy) I also recommend the other games the delopers made, Slay the Princess. It's shorter than Scarlet but it also is very meaty (like I have 50+ hours in that one and that's getting all endings/routes.) I'm actually surprise that game is not on the list at all because it is so much popular than Scarlet Hollow but I know for a fact it is woke because the princess can and will beat your ass in some of the routes and women beating up men is woke.

[@Bayofthefree]

This stream ruled but also genuine question a bit later into the stream Joy says that theyre sure The Binding of Isaac would be considered woke even though it isnt and is "full of racism" maybe it is just because im biased and its one of my favorite games but like, huh???? I feel like quite a good amount of Edmund McMillens games later in his career, at least the ones with story, are like definition "woke" to these people lolol. Isaac is a canonically genderfluid character who has a completely warped sense of identity and reality because of his upbringing, it depicts how horrible evangelism can be to a child and is generally anti "classic family values" of a Christian mother and father with their pure child. With the racism thing im just genuinely confused i have played the game for thousands of hours and i dont recognize a single instance of it? The one guess I could maybe have is one item being cupids arrow? But this is a game that /mostly/ takes place within the mind of isaac, a kid who definitely has little to no concept of other cultures because of how he was raised, proven by other items like 'evil charm' which he most likely learned from his mother. As the Nazar (what the item is based on) is very much not of Christian origin, and so his mother most definitely viewed it as evil. Also I mean we are talking about the guy who completely cut ties with Nicalis as soon as he could after all the stuff came out about them (supah dupah mega ultra racism) Once again maybe I am just biased but I feel like that claim was made on a whim and felt a bit silly, if im missing something then please do tell me, but atleast in my life Edmund is a great guy and his games portray that well.

[@hondaaccord1399]

Even in well-meaning folks, media literacy is difficult and sometimes twisty. It's just important to remember to like what you like, and if you truly don't feel insecure about your choice, then chances are you're steadfast in your beliefs and the bigger issue is misconceptions of the media you enjoy. (This comes from a "the world is going to end, laugh at your pain" fan of Pokemon Clover, so I can identify with you)

1:15:36 who in the world is out there saying Yuri of all things is not pro LGBT /gen im not on twitter much so ive never seen this discourse and im so fucking shocked as a lesbian and avid yuri collector

[@Dr_B0nes]

quite a few anti woke men love fetishizing lesbians. in their eyes lesbians only exist for them to get off to and is quite frankly disgusting

[@willytor7899]

it's hard to explain (partially because it makes no sense) but I'll do my best to explain what the perspective actually entails, because i have actually seen some people argue this. It's one of those "no you wouldn't get it it's an entirely culturally different thing in japan" kind of thing. They argue that yuri is a different concept from real life lesbianism and that girls loving other girls in yuri is just "fooling around" until they grow into liking men. very gross stuff but that's basically what the idea is

[@Nat_778]

​@@willytor7899this + the fact that a lot of these types think wlw media exists purely so they can get off to it

[@littleolme7877]

Fun fact, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is considered woke because they replaced guns with paintball guns and they made changed the name of a character named Bombo into Bob (aside from the obvious, I am assuming they also changed it because the character could have been considered an Arab terrorist stereotype, since you meet him in an Arabic-inspired level)

[@Jake76667]

37:30 is the actual start of the stream

[@harry4716]

Incorrect, you miss out all of the Salty Abortion Jokes

[@timofeydyudin4226]

Project Moon mentioned! Very fitting considering two of their games are on The List)

[@phyllotaxis]

The woke detectors just couldn't handle Emma and Noah

[@abnormal9613]

@@phyllotaxisI love how they ignored all of the woke stuff in limbus and only mentioned Dante

[@supplespecimen725]

1:14:57 as someone who also played it I also was like "haha not woke at all (smug)" but the INSTANT I read "a female character reveals she has romantic feelings-" I knew what they mean, and it's true, Seiko was absolutely a lesbian, and Naomi was definitely interested

[@ashybon]

Bayonetta kinda shocked me bc I’m playing through it rn, and while it’s technically not “woke” bc no gay (idk maybe Bayo and Jeanne have a 10 hour sex scene at the end), I thought those people would consider it woke anyways because like “overtly anti-Christian messaging” or “pro-DEI, 1 black character + improbable amount of women in the past”

[@Peasham]

It's one of those things where like, I'd love to agree and say it's woke, but the newest game in the franchise just flat out confirmed that it was all straight cisboy pandering, which I picked up on as even a kid playing the first game. It IS woke by these peoples' standards, but nah, it was created for straight men

[@earth2tonez]

my ultimate goal in life is to make something that gets put on a woke detectors list.

[@Cpt.Stickerno0dle-iu3ok]

I love how the description for Hollow Knight is somewhat woke and also doesn’t mention half of the woke things. Like, they’re not gonna add that the player character and all of the vessels are genderless and the Grey Mourner being in mourning of her dead mantis girlfriend

[@kumquatking7763]

really fun stream but slow mode wouldn’t let me post ANYTHING even after the timer ended! could be because of woke…

[@SundayMpreg]

SaltyDKdan is a wok? Unfollowed. Very disappointed. I thought he was a pan, not a stupid wok

[@eeveecurry]

The entry for Umineko no Naku Koro Ni kills me. Like just at the outset the commentary on how money ruins everything and how much rich people suck is OVERT, but even beyond that the amount of queer characters in it and the focus on mothers and how insidious sexism is… and Beatrice in general, like- it’s just - you have to read so much of this 80+ hour VN to get to some of the heart of it and if you make it to that and still think it’s even remotely ‘not woke’ it’s just so. Stupid doesn’t even come close to describing it.

[@vendettavera4641]

Be-a-too-ri-ceeee -old man, 1977

[@DansBoringChannel]

I was sure Mafia: Definitive Edition was going to be woke because they added a disclaimer saying that the racial slurs that the characters say were a product of the time the game is set and are not acceptable or reflective of the beliefs of the developers and that upset people online who wanted the slurs presented as good things.

[@cricketjuice]

was not expecting this stream to be 4 hours long, but it was so fun! felt like a sleepover, really nice way to end the night

[@MaxM210]

It was really surreal to reach the part of the stream where Legos and transformers came up, as someone who literally was building the Lego Sonic sets and unboxing transformers while I watched.

[@Peasham]

Shoulda talked about gunpla more tbh

[@Toxsuke89]

“Michael Kovach should voice a gremlin meowth character” Rocky Rickaby from lackadaisy, pretty much. He does an EXCELLENT job too

[@MattGOnYT]

57:40 I hate how I immediately guessed the game was woke because it’s a game where the Nazis are the bad guys. Really shows how little trust I have in the judgement of the woke games list.

[@torpedopickle]

The chat interactions were great this time. Everyone talking about their hobbies was fun

[@aztromilk]

this was such a fun stream I wish woke was real

[@whowantstogame]

this quiz is unironically so good for finding recommendations for games. i bought minami lane on my switch DURING THIS STREAM for like four bucks and it's so cute. i plan on playing new day too (it's literally free !!). thank you anti woke grifters for identifying fun silly games for me to support

[@flyingsnail_art9170]

as an autistic trans being of chaos who is hyperfixating on transformers, this vod brings me so so so much joy. every minute it got better. honestly this has made me feel less alone and made my day after a rough week. ok bye tc all :>

[@RainbyFIN]

Autistic AND trans? Your general existence contains too much woke 😤 (/j I'm literally trying to get a diagnosis so I might be both too lol)

[@GothDrossel]

did not expect I'm In Love With The Villainess to be mentioned, one of my favorites

[@septupleanti742]

I literally bought Star Seeker because of this stream, that game fuckin’ rules

[@yoisakikanade_]

44:46 Saltydkdan lobcorp playthrough would go hard as fuck

[@hazyfeverdream]

while waiting for the stream to start i started mindlessly spamming yes on the woke quiz and i got up to 603 before i got bored

[@byssted]

1:10:33 INCORRECT yugioh duel links should in fact be considered woke, it has Yubel in it (a nonbinary character, as in literally split down the middle male/female) as well as Alito (canonically bisexual) and Ai (canonically... something, but definitely MLM considering he confesses his love to a dude). Yubel is probably the most obvious example tho. Rather than blaming it on 'the game being Japanese', a lot of these "woke" things were REMOVED for the international audience in the anime as a form of censorship by 4Kids to avoid pissing off, well... These people. In Japan the game is more woke! For a DL specific example, the Anna vs III pre-duel dialogue in Japanese implies III is romantically interested in Yuma (both dudes). Sorry I have the yugioh brainrot its terminal. (duel terminal, amirite fellas. please clap)

[@berdlyistrans]

not only that but there are tons of competent female duelists within the game if you actually play the story mode

[@byssted]

@ Good point! If they're serious about being "anti-DEI" the game should also be considered woke for portraying Mimi, who is both a single mother and an executive at Goha, since that's "unrealistic"...

[@acerbusthedarkenvtuber5684]

As someone who actively enjoys Corpse Party, the doomer yuri fan in me screams for Seiko and Naomi to be happy, I knew for a fact it was gonna be woke the moment they got it. :3

[@WamBurger]

This is the funniest thing ever to me, at least while I’m drunk idk lol

[@owoowo9782]

1:24:31 knew this one was woke solely bc the devs have been in my friend’s comment section on ig when he cosplayed from it

[@somoneelse3488]

I NEED to know the context for Ghostbusters and freaking Mussolini

[@SpikeJet2736]

Alot of these seem like they're woke just for having these elements regardless of context like this list will call things like Persona 5 woke for having gay crossdressers in it even though they're joke npcs. It'd be like if I called Inglorious Bastards a white supremacist movie because it has nazis in it

[@nataliecoronado4206]

the cross dressing npc's in p5 are not only portrayed as a joke in-game, *the joke is reliant on harmful stereotypes about gay men* Sadly, p5 isn't the only time a "queer people are predators" joke is made in the series. Glad they changed it in P3R so the lady at the beach is a conspiracy theorist instead

[@Peasham]

My favorite part is that game's chuddy af anyway lmao, but I don't know if they'd realize that

[@raymond-reviews]

Saltydkdan starting a podcast called the Saltmine would be good marketing 😂😂😂

the way he just dropped that name, i have a feeling he's actually been thinking about it.
