I'm not buying if this game is woke

It's completely unnecessary to include woke agenda and politics in games to make them good.

Is this game pushing somekind of agenda?

I surely hope it is woke - I don't want to play a game promoting racism and discrimination.

Wikipedia is not updated. Starting from 2021-2022 circa, the term Woke changed the actual meaning to something different.
I also don't want to play a game promoting racism and discrimination, no one want that, it's common sense!
However, now Woke is something else:
"It is a state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything except their own behavior."
This is the best definition you can find on the internet, approved by the vast majority of those who utilize the term daily.
It is also used by Elon Musk to describe unpleasant events.

Today you won't find anyone using the term woke in its original meaning, get over it.

I've been playing for a few hours and I've not found anything I'd consider 'woke'

Dude...lol...I almost want you to play it just to suffer as I did. It's not woke. It's Ultra-woke.

Just assume that from now on any game ever from a moderate to large studio will be woke in some way to avoid backlash. We really don't need this topic again in the discussion section of every game that comes out.

There's pronouns and proper nouns too. Some verbs and conjunctions to make you seethe with anger
