These outrage tourists call every "woke" if it fits their narrative.

Zelda: echoes of wisdom features Zelda as a playable character? Woke! Hades 2 having gay gods and Hephaistos being in a wheelchair? Woke! A game having the option to chose your pronouns in the character creator with no change in the actual story/narrative? Believe it or not: woke! /j

Disco Elysium is an actually very political and leftist game, but no one calls it "woke", because it's incredibly good and popular (also: these chodes probably wouldn't even get the game).

Baldur's Gate 3 has everything they complain about, but it's not criticized, because it is loved by the community.

I mean, people do call Disco Elysium "woke commie political garbage" because being a fascist in that game is paramount to self harm and they don't like introspection.

It's probably the only time they're right, when they call a game "commie".

It's still a phenomenal game and they can't help but cope.
