    So “woke” means all of the following together, trying to summarize:

    • A game includes anything related to LGBTQ+ or political left-leaning ideology.
    • The above is presented via non-gameplay elements. It’s fine if its in the gameplay.
    • The game was a commercial flop or critically panned.

    Did I sum that up correctly?

        So this then begs the question, why are people decrying games as “woke” trying so hard to push their political agenda into gaming discussions? After all, as per point 1 + point 3, the game was already criticized/panned anyways, then someone came in and tries to push the critique onto a political level instead of a game one.
