The woke detector shit is so funny because I can't find anyone who takes it seriously. Even the culture war people are making fun of it

I hope this serves as a good time to reflect for the anti-woke crowd. They’re the disney adults of politics.

They are Disney adults, at least a fair number of them. peterson-pain

There's no fucking way lmao. A tool built for them and they hate it?

the mistake there is that the culture war is politics and politics is about falling in line. grifters are always on the lookout to see wether a) a given piece of media is popular (and therefore not woke); or b) if every other grifter agrees its woke (and it's not that popular). if you're out here calling everything under the sun woke, you become a joke that doesn't know where the wind blows.

in other words. only a true believer would call a jk rowling game woke.

It's because they went comically over the top with it. Tyranny is listed as woke because it has women owning property

Darkest Dungeon? Woke. Absolver? Woke. A porn game with crossdressing? Wait why are they rating porn games

Complaining about female combatants in a video game is so funny. Shit’s been around since the dawn of video games.

Unless they only have thigh, butt, and breast based attacks, it's woke

i don't play porn games but check out the description for demon roots:

After the Demon Lord's defeat, the remaining demons fled to the Dark Realm. A thousand years later, on the verge of extinction, demonkind decides to invade the human world again in one final struggle for survival. However, the world they return to after years in the darkness isn't the same as it once was.

Humans have turned against their fellow man. Downtrodden and defeated, the poor find an unlikely ally: the same demons who terrorized humanity a thousand years ago. Together with the demons, they fight against the world's victors, the ones who hold all the power, to gain their freedom and create a world they can call home.
