ShinkanTrain comments on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront

On the plus side, those butthurt "antiwoke" curators are a great way to find cool games

That, and it's a genuine comedy goldmine. Microsoft Flight simulator and Garry's Mod are listed by the official woke detector steam curator. Their reasoning litterally sounds like a Key & Peele sketch.

Fucking hell, their 'not-woke' list is minuscule and reasons for being 'woke' are absurd, it's more like a nazi approval rating...

Isn't that what 'Woke' always was?

A magic word with a shapeshifting definition, mostly for the nazis to throw at things and people they don't like.

Never heard of woke detector before so went and had a look. Omg it reads like satire, but unfortunately it isn't. Crazy.

exactly, lmao. I read the article and ended up wishlisting one indie game they criticized for being "woke".

Thanks, incels.
