is it woke?

[Knigh7]

Answers suggest the game is not. Discussion ended.

[功夫kappa]

yes, it's so woke you're already turning gay just by posting here.

[TheLastDesperado]

Well which definition of woke are you talking about? The original definition?Or the boogieman no real fixed definition of woke that has become more popular lately?

Because if it's the latter, it makes it very hard to answer because no one can seem to agree what is "woke."

[Mithrandir3]

To answer this question, it would need to have a meaning. I agree with the previous answer of TheLastDesperado. Besides, understanding what's going (or what was going on) on is part of what this game is about, including the story.

[NorionV]

The question is inherently disrespectful, so you'll get no respect here. Nobody is going to take this seriously.

[TarnkappenToast]

Yes, move on please. Play something different.

[kahbn]

Yes, it's woke. Every single video game ever made is woke. Please stop having anything to do with video games.

[Tarious]

I always steer away from woke stuff, but I haven't seen anything in my 7 hours. Although I highly recommend reading the reviews, as the RNG is a major turn off.

No, the game is not woke. There is some light political messaging if you read between the lines, but it favors conservatism.
IDK why everyone is pretending like they don't know what this means.

Because it just means 'things I don't like'.

And it is usually sourced on bigotry.

This. It's just stupid culture war bullship that doesn't mean anything. I always wonder how someone can even enjoy anything with this kind of brain worms.

So 'anything I don't like, centered mostly on bigotry'.

If that's how you'd like to define it then yes. Glad we finally got you to understand what the term woke means!

[atlas]

Nah, it isn't woke.

Sorry everyone popped in to inject their useless opinions about your politics.

That's not what "woke" means. That's the problem. People give the term a totally different meaning and use it for bigotry. Please look the actual word up. Just once. Read into the history. You can't just take a word that was used since 1930 and give it a totally new and different meaning and use it for internet culture war stuff.

Also, more than half of that stuff you just listed isn't even bad. So what's the point?

Well just like how the 1970s scientific term for moron changed meaning in recent years and is now banned on many social media platforms, the term Woke also changed since its inception in 1930.

And if you believe none of those things are bad, then good for you! many disagree however.

Hey, at least you're being honest about the hate. Makes it easier to deal with.

There is a gerbil depicted in the game which suggests male homosexuality.
