I recently found a list of "Woke" Video Games on Steam and I thought it'd be pretty funny to check out it and I was not disappointed. This list of over 1,400 games contains some of the most insane takes I've ever heard.

Woke = mostly anything not supporting Aryan White Supremacy

See; Nazi

Not a fan of someone who uses the r-slur and makes a show of not being "woke," but I agree that that list is utterly ludicrous. Flagging something like it's practically unplayable because you can if you search for them find a couple of same-sex characters in the ass end of nowhere holding hands is kinda mind-blowing.

They even complained about someone claiming to be asexual. Seriously?? Someone not wanting sex is the big horrible Woke Agenda™ being shoved down poor, innocent Gamers™' throats? Look here, it's incels doing reverse wokism "making" a game engine because Real Men™ never use a premade one! Don't think about why they would want to associate with a general-purpose game engine despite also claiming that every dev must make their own! Thinking is WOKE! You'll turn gay if you think!

🤬 Baffling absurdity, I say!

Because of idiots like them, either not understanding what woke means, or by taking it to comical extreme, real issues get buried under. I wouldn't be surprised if this list was created by an Ai or was meant to be funny in the first place. I would say some stuff there has nothing to do with wokeness at all, such as gay relationships is too woke for them. I go this far and say whoever made that list seems to be anti-gay.

And that's my take, going too extreme is always bad and destroys any nuances and makes real problems hard to find and discuss.

Hence the reason I said..mostly.

There's definitely been examples of corporate pandering and virtue signaling in the game industry but most "arguments" are just attempting to shut down the existence of non-white people's existence ('DEI') and the existence of LGBTQ individuals and support the ideology that women can't be anything but submissive.

Hell they called Wolfenstein II woke because you kill Nazis. That's really all you need to know about what these kinds of people who are obsessed with "stopping wokeism" are

Vocal minority milking spytube algos...

At this point if there is a grift, somebody will do it haha

That is true but it no longer becomes "minority' when government officials (GOP) start saying the same thing (and they are)

Once you have that, these Nazis not only feel like they have representation and a voice, but validation and vindication for their ideas now (which is where we are at the moment)

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 15 hours ago

not sure why we are getting into politics but if we are... my bigger concern is the regime and their political lapdog supporting genocide NOW... no need to worry about Nazi in the future when we got them here and now.

This is so based.
