Woke Content Detector's Curated List of Games

[RayBoyo]

Hey howdy, I'm new here, invited by a good fellow on Steam. I've been occasionally contributing to the Woke Content Detected group because I keep finding **** in games I play. Even indie games. Especially indie games. Here's a copy-paste of what I wrote there for a lovely space colony sim that totally isn't 100% klaus schwab-approved:



Not recommended. DEI and gender ideology.

I was just warming up to the game until I looked at some of the colonists. They're all very Star Trek-style globalist citizens from everywhere, because of course they are. Whatever, that's not that bad or even that bizarre for this genre. What is egregious is this:

Yep, your colonists can have an "other" gender. Because that's how human biology works in current year. We really can't escape this stuff, can we?



...I actually forgot to mention that the game's first orders are basically to build solar panels and wind turbines, which again isn't anything special for this genre, but it just doesn't feel great considering how ineffective they are in real life. Whatever, maybe they invented vishnuite solar cells that reincarnate to become super-efficient, and put invisible hijabs on all the wind turbines to make them more humble and stop their noise pollution.

The thing about factorio is that the pollution isn't bad in any way and spreading pollution all over everything is how you know you're winning.

[Tangerine]

Pollution gives you an excuse to kill more aliens, which is based.

[Mordred]

hmm ok when you view it that way yeah factorio is vindicated

[rusty_shackleford]

isn't factorio the one that got attacked for saying he likes capitalism?

Add "bossgirls everywhere, anti-man messaging" to your Fallout 2 advisory.

[Mordred]

i have to admit i dnf fallout 2

Women run the settlements, men are stupid and need rescuing, or they're raiders and drug addicts.

These are the only occurrence of they/them and is at later part of the game but they pull me out completely.

Not that the overall writing was good, the following happened rather early.

The art style (isometric view, pixel art mixed with dynamic lighting) is neat, and the idea of randomized map is interesting, but the writing ruins it all.

I remember that guy. Couple of his old games had libtarded themes.

I felt like getting punched in the gut just reading it. It's brainrot, people are infected with it (especially gen z) and it's spreading. It went from political correctness and fear of misgendering to normalization.

The same thing happens in Symphonia. At the start of the game an android is referred to as "they" instead of "it". It too broke the immersion for me and I just couldn't continue.

is a fantasy game woke just for having female combatants in it?

“Overtly pro-DEI, female warrior character in medieval european setting highly inplausible”

Depends how fantasy-y it is

[logincrash]

If she has magic, it's fine but in a begrudging, drawn out "fine" kinda way.
If she's just a dainty 5'3 flower who can somehow wear plate and wield a zweihander on par with the men, then that's some ********.

[rusty_shackleford]

I think if it's fantasy + she remains feminine, it's fine. The intent is the most important part.

Can she remain feminine if she's covered in blood and gore from slicing and dicing fools on the front lines?
Soldiering is one of the least feminine activities in history.

[Oyster Sauce]

It's fine to have people fight in viddygames even if IRL they're unsuitable physically and/or mentally for it. There are 6000000 beloved games where prepubescent children fight dragons. It just depends how serious the setting is+how ok with ludonarrative dissonance you are.

Link being 10 years old in Zelda is fine because it's cartoony whimsical fantasy. It wouldnt even matter if he was a girl instead (though it would be less cool).
Henry in KC:D being either a child or a woman would be very ******** because it's set in real life, like a few hundred years ago, featuring real human beings you're related to.

Somewhere in the middle between those two games you will have to wisely make judgement calls on where the divide is and many AIDS-ridden racetraitors are basing theirs on how much they hate me personally and want me to be dead and penisless which I am not a fan of.

Aaand dropped.

Depends on the display:

Estelle from Trails 1st for example is displayed as woman/girl who was trained for fighting her entire childhood and on several occasions it is pointed out that she is still not on par with the likes of yosh or her father (2 strong male fighters).

That i would say is an ok display.


The Game in Question i went by a suggestions and checked a bit of gameplay from what i got the dagger woman Sarah is portrayed as on par with trained male fighters without any magic.

So i rated this one as overtly proDEI. If you have played it and know more i am all ears.

I think if it's fantasy + she remains feminine, it's fine. The intent is the most important part.

the intend of putting a female in combar roles is by design DEI to create the alternate truth that women are just as capable as men are (which especially in physical combat they are clearly not). The only reason for women i would accept is when they are clearly chosen as protag for pure eye candy/fanservice reasons and there is some explenation for them being strong like stellar blade, bayonetta, nier etc.

Yes, I don't know why this is so difficult to grasp that context, when applicable, does make the difference. I also agree with Rusty, intent and design matters, even if it goes against the grain of our reality. In Robert E. Howard's original short stories of Conan, you had some women go against the grain, but Conan was always above them, there was never a point you felt the masculine nature of the story was at risk, or that a subversive narrative was worming its way into your head. His wikipedia article even goes as far as to say he "adopted more pro-feminist" views of women in his stories, which is ******* outlandish. He wrote these female characters such as that they were near-mythical figures, the very things you read in myths and stories of the past, and not to support some modern cause. To frame it better, Conan is a highly idealised man, and the women he meets are mirrors of that idealisation. But of course, ideologues don't read what they preach about.

There is, however, an argument to be had in the idolisation of women that leads to them usurping men, such as how some weebs endorse many women-led in-universe games and shows, to the point of total absurdity. Yes, they are feminine, but they also run the settings entire government and military. That is when ludonarrative dissonance reaches its limits of tolerance.

Rusty also adamantly claims that Outer Worlds 2 was not woke so his opinion carries extremely little weight in these types of matters. I'm gonna trust Mordred's opinion since at least he is fairly consistent and not motivated by pure contrarianism.

[rusty_shackleford]

if you can't tell the difference between these two then you have a problem

[asf]

same garbage

[rusty_shackleford]

Mere presence of female combatants in a fantasy setting, without any intent to say they're just men with tits(or attempt to make soldiers 50/50, etc.,), should be at most informational.

[maidenhaver]

Fallout 2 was intentionally subversive.

rusty ignores South of Midnight. He routinely ignores any example of external pressures pushing woke further than the devs intended. BlackRock are just a harmless investor, and devs are not whores, they're principled.

One is a movie game? Yes, the 13suckadick one is the woke game. Odds are any movie game is going to be an art school student's White Man bad lecture.

Are we doing whataboutism now?

Each case is judged individually not in comparison to each other. So the fact that something worse might exist does not negate the present elements in the currently judged case.

Mere presence of female combatants in a fantasy setting, without any intent to say they're just men with tits(or attempt to make soldiers 50/50, etc.,), should be at most informational.

Presence of foids in any other role then cleaning, cooking, childcare is automatically a not recommended. There are redeeming factors though like: is it displayed believable (was she trained, is she still displayed as inferior to male specialists, is there a factor like magic involved to explain strength to surpass equally or better trained male oponents) was it done for eyecandy (Bayonette, Stellarblade).

Are any of those redeeming factors present in the game at hand?

That's not whataboutism
