Woke or not?
Can you just tell me without flaming or arguing if the game is woke or not? Please don't try to litigate the definition of woke, you know what it is, and if somehow you don't then the question is obviously not for you, thank you.

It sounds exhausting going through life worried constantly about whether things are too woke to consume.

something dumb which a random guy made up and added a random meaning to it. it isnt really important tho.
all you need to know that it is heavily political used, that alone is already a bad thing on its own.

It was meant to more aware of social injustices and to talk about them openly in hopes of improving. Trolls adopted the word and made it into an all out war. So now the word has no meaning, and it's just applied to anything and everything even when the subject matter has nothing to do with the word.

It's exhausting finding out if the products you buy are going to be something you'll like? "Hey guys, is this ice cream chocolate flavored or strawberry flavored? I don't like strawberry." - "OMG, why do you want to know what the product is like. Strawberry ice cream doesn't even exist, someone made it up, just eat it!" At least Volvo Source2 pls gave a straight answer instead of complaining about the question.

wrong, a transgender person made this word up and then used it on games which are "anti-transgender ... or rather was "thinking" it is. he (or should i call them she now? am not sure) then called those games "woke games". but the rest is pretty much true. that guy got then trolled and now gets it used for pretty much everything. but still mainly for political agendas when it comes to transgender or anti-transgender stuff. lately got it heavily used on baldurs gate 3 for its ... nsfw content and how ... much of it is in there etc.

i am surprised that anyone would use the word on sea of stars.

No. "Woke" is similar to "Red Pilled" in that it is describing a person who according to that ideology has understood the true nature of reality that they didn't recognize before. From the "Woke" perspective, almost all identities are socially constructed, compared to being biologically inherent. The classic nurture vs. nature argument. Not only are our identities socially constructed, they are done so purposefully by those who are in the dominant social class to keep us down and divide us into consumer groups for capitalistic purposes. In order to fight this, we have to promote diversity in representation in media and real life occupations to break the social conditioning and overthrow the dominant class. This is why in "woke" media there is a focus on diverse representation and heterodox cultural narratives.

It is a specific philosophy and clearly identifiable in media whos creators are adherents to this ideology. That's totally fine, but some people like it and some people don't. People that like it can buy woke games, and people that don't can buy a different game.
