Woke Content Detector's Curated List of Games

[rusty_shackleford]

Update: after many hours of grinding like the autistic tryhard I am, the table has reached LV 2.

Now featuring release years!

Perhaps a kindly wizard can help me get to LV 3? @rusty_shackleford
I looked into a pool of my own sweat and saw ... a vision of a table with column sorting/filter options!?

On a more serious note, is this possible? It would greatly enhance the table's usability.

I moved this post to the third post slot.

Regarding Mass Effect, I think the whole Asari pronouns thing was an Andromeda retcon that was awkwardly shoehorned through some ambient dialogue - AFAIK they always used female pronouns in the original trilogy.

Correct. Andromeda had a retarded side dialogue (easily avoided, thankfully) between an Angara and Asari, where they were relating to each other's culture by talking about different gender identities their people have (e.g. made-up ones). There was this and the tranny whose life story you could avoid asking for. Obviously there for the brownie points from the cringiest part of the fan base but tucked away enough to avoid annoying normal people.

Thanks for the information!

I've updated all 4 Mass Effect reviews.

4/24/2024 Update: Autism strikes again! The list has reached LV 3.

Now featuring color coding similar to Steam's review type colors.

The what? I played original mass effect 1 and 2 this year, there wasn't any asari pronouns. What are you talking about?

oh, I completely misread and thought you needed a third post, sorry @Furin
I must have been tired at the time

Asari are just referred to as women in the original games to the best of my recollection.

@Furin added improved table support, I'll improve it more in the future. Let me know if it's missing anything.

[DagothGeas5]

Thank you for making this!

Thanks! It's already looking better.

I can think of two additional features that would be nice for the future:
1. Eliminating the post character limit so the table can be consolidated into one post (making the search and sort options more comprehensive)
2. The ability to select a specific letter/developer/publisher to sort by rather than just A-Z or Z-A.

1. Eliminating the post character limit so the table can be consolidated into one post (making the search and sort options more comprehensive)

Going to think on this for a bit, a very large portion of the database is just edit history, even with pruning revisions. Probably going to see how hard it would be to convert it to use a delta patch format instead of storing each revision individually, or perhaps some sort of table(database table) compression.
Not singling you out personally, we have a few threads like this with very large posts that get edited a lot.

[Furin]

2. The ability to select a specific letter/developer/publisher to sort by rather than just A-Z or Z-A.

Just a thought, perhaps having a search bar for each column could accomplish this?

On the other hand, the existing search bar already kind of does this so maybe it's fine as is.

Edit: Thinking about it more, I think the current search function accomplishes this adequately enough. You can disregard this suggestion. @rusty_shackleford

I don't understand how the body type thing is more overt than having minor gay characters.

[Furin]

I don't understand how the body type thing is more overt than having minor gay characters.

Initially, it wasn't. It was considered subtle just like having minor gay characters. However, after feedback from multiple people here, I made the change.

However, it still seems more subtle

It might 'seem' more subtle, but anything with a 'body type' option, as opposed to simply Male or Female, is blatantly woke - and should be regarded as such. This is not something like occasional homosexuality in a game, or other deviancy, or perhaps niggers where they shouldn't be, etc. This is a flagrant, and obvious expression of their attempt to steal and contrive language - it should be marked as such at all times.

Matriarch beneziah or whatever her name was in the first game, major character, definitely considered woman.

I could not get out of my head that South Park was in the list and that it would say that "non-binary is alright", so I scoured about and found this video that shows all the options

Robbaz did the stream (linked below) on it and the game seems very humorous and not taking the idea seriously while keeping it open to interpretation enough to have "allies" be head over heels about the representation (can see many such talks in the comments of the video above), but I still do not understand if this game is just parody like I hope or if it truly is corrupted by these things too it truly just seems they are poking fun at everyone as they usually do, but, again, I am too dense to say for sure

Seems the "Woke Content Detector" list on steam is hit and miss on the major search engines. I saw that steam is filtering it, noticed Brave search blocks it for the steam link, but still shows up for RPGHQ's link. If you use the AI in brave, it will give you the link, but not in the search results.





Google does the same, showing some RPGHQ links, but doesn't show the steam link.

Duckduckgo still has a direct link to the list, though it is down the page a little.

Not sure if this is a fluke, but the comment about it being hidden on steam made me suspicious.

Anyway, this may become an issue as the list gets larger and more organized depending on how much traffic it gets.

It is odd that RPGHQ shows up though, you would think with the heat the site gets that it would be removed from the links as well, though it may in time.

RPGHQ is still under the radar, apparently not in some places though according to Rusty

On Bing the top three results are the Steam curator list, group and discussion thread followed by some random preddit thread about how to find out if games are woke. RPGHQ is the 5th result.

I've long suspected we're penalized on search engines due to the content available on the site.

I question this, searching for "rpghq" gives this forum as first result in most (if not all) countries. The same doesn't happen with "stormfront" for example.

We used to not show up on google at all at one point, I think I was having this discussion with … @Shillitron maybe?
I've made a lot of changes to help us get out of the gutter. For example, nothing in the off-topic area gets indexed at all.

I don't think Palworld deserves to be on the list just because of the "body type" thing. Have you heard what the devs apparently said about why it's there? "Americans sometimes like to make ugly characters" was their explanation.

[Kowe]

Looked up the list and found Half-Life 1 & 2 recommended. Hmm, is the first really not woke ? Half-Life 1 looks more as an offender in terms of quota than Half-Life 2. There are lots of black scientists scattered over the game, which is unrealistic. Half-Life 2 has Eli and lots of resistance fighters and civilians which have darker skin tones. That is more believable.
While not as overt as post-2010s in their propaganda, video games and movies had some in the previous decades.

The Resident Evil games should be under Recommended, by the way. Don't think they had any kind of overt woke content if any at all, but maybe I missed something.

[Ichthys]

The first F.E.A.R. is also woke-free.
