List of woke and non-woke role-playing games

This thread contains information on how pozzed individual RPG titles are. You might not want to pay any money to game studios putting intrusive SJW content into their games and that's what the list is for. This game list is always incomplete, you can improve it by responding in this thread.
Wokeness score:
Green color: Twiglard's recommendation to buy the game.
Yellow color: recommendation to never pay for it.
Red color: don't buy it and don't play it either.
Implications:
In some cases it's not good to pay even for good, non-woke games:
Wokeness score:
- none - Not woke or anti-woke.
- mild - Post-2012 North American identity politics ideas mildly present. if you're not too traditional you won't notice it too much unless you go looking for it.
- medium - has some offensive woke ideas (such as "pronouns in character creation") but you can gloss over it and enjoy it regardless. Maybe still worth buying for some people.
- heavy - worldbuilding, mechanics, dialogue and/or plot heavily informed by wokeness (such as adding penises to women during character creation). It's very difficult not to notice it most the time. Perhaps still good if you don't actively dislike wokeness itself.
- pozzed - the whole game revolves around Critical Theory/Queer Theory/tranny/nigger politics. Majorly politically-correct dialogue, zoomer cringe, and so on; for games such as Forspoken.
- [1] part of consensus
- [2]* partly part of the consensus, but somewhat superseded
- [3]** not part of the consensus, but interesting
- [4]*** not part of the consensus
- - (a single hyphen) opinion generally not needed, but you can provide one if you want to put in the effort
- ? (a question mark) opinion actively needed
- score?, score??, score?? how reliable the consensus is; more question marks the more dubious
- todo: I need to move my ass and add it
- Economic leftism isn't woke according to this list, unless there's A LOT of unskippable leftism.
- Race (including unchecked third-world immigration and indigenous nonsense) sexuality (I'm a strong woman who need no man) and tranny (muh gender identity) nonsense (non to mention '''non-binary''') are woke.
- Putting niggers everywhere where it doesn't make sense is woke.
- On-the-nose allegories to niggers and trannies are woke (such as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided).
- Telling wokeists to fuck off is based for a company. Ignoring them is based too.
- Using pre-2008 cultural norms within the game that was released after 2012 is good.
- Obama is a war criminal as much as Bush or even worse. If you disagree, you're misinformed or a shitlib. This is meant as a non-woke statement. Excusing him on the basis of being a nigger or half-nigger is somewhat woke.
- Woman's suffrage from 17th century to 2023 isn't woke. At worst (in case of heavy-handed pandering) it's mildly woke.
Green color: Twiglard's recommendation to buy the game.
Yellow color: recommendation to never pay for it.
Red color: don't buy it and don't play it either.
Implications:
- Game is pozzed (or any other game by the same studio): studio is pozzed too.
- Game is medium or heavily woke: studio isn't non-woke.
- Talented people got fired and the studio got more woke? No chance they'll make it, the studio is gone.
- it's good for its RPG 'subgenre' (storyfag/C&C/combat heavy/turn-based/rtwp).
- studio still exists and is worthwhile to incentivize to make future games possible
- studio isn't woke
- game isn't more than slightly woke
In some cases it's not good to pay even for good, non-woke games:
- studio has gotten woke since releasing the game (too many!)
- studio was taken over by the publisher and is now comprised of different people (think ZA/UM)
- studio's game quality has gotten a lot worse (think Obsidian)
- the game's publisher is woke or has a greedy, anti-customer attitude (think EA)

► 3 "Q girl is a trans self insert" (there wasn't anyone to insert, and no indication she's trans), she can't be killed because trannies must be protec (she's a main questline NPC and becomes killable after the point of relevance). The main dev has debunked a bunch of other faleshoods spread around by the people who were trying to rile up sseth's fanbase, but I can't find it rn and haven't time to look further, but it's out there. I've not played the game a ton, but afaik the only joinable factions are like, your starting race + the MQ, and the devs have been pretty explicit about this. All the shit about joining the templars is just literal shit stirring, like yes you can't be a Qudian Fascist ... but you can't be any number of other things either. And there's a ton of factions in the game. You can become friendly with a bunch, but that is not any different from* in many other RPGs. https://wiki.cavesofqud.com/wiki/Factions -anon

Colony Ship RPG | none-mild |
► 1 Discord forbids 'controversial' topics, VD has nuanced opinions some may consider a bit woke [1] |

Cyberpunk 2077 | pozzed (CDPR) |
► 1
► 2 (note: the employee who made that joke likely has been fired) CDPR eventually edited the image, making tranny cock less prominent in order to appease trannies. [Not that any reasonable person wants to see tranny cock on a poster in the first place, but removing it to pander to triggered trannies is even worse, IMO. -twig] https://archive.ph/20200922194716/https ... 203242424/ |

Space Wreck | mild-medium? (indie) |
► 1
Added the neutral option to the sex slider supposedly to piss off both sides in the culture war (citation needed). Somewhat preoccupied with '''deconstructing''' secondary sex characteristics. Why add it into the game if not due to being a wokeist 'fellow traveler'? Perhaps believes that """non-binary""" is something that's real?
|
mild |
► 1 non-binary pandering, sex/gender called 'type' to avoid hurting trannies' feelings |
Starfield | heavy-pozzed (Bethpizda) | - | medium-heavy |
► 1
"Body type" in character creation as an euphemism for character's sex. "Pronouns" in character creation separate from the character's sex, including a "non-binary" option. Only partially implemented-- voiced NPCs tend to only have male and female variants (need confirmation). Some reports (need confirmation) that "pronouns" tend to be ignored and NPCs address the player character by their sex (aka "body type"). A large proportion of all game NPCs are dark-skinned. There's no ingame explanation given for this. Competent NPC authority figures tend to be female and/or non-white as some hidden storywriting rule. Foolish, evil, greedy etc. characters overwhelmingly tend to be white men (needs more confirmation and counterexamples). The game doesn't want to directly flaunt SJW ideology and rub it in the player's face, rather it creates a contrived (perhaps insidiously so) make-believe world where woke conceits are somehow true.
