Is this game woke?

[Acethiest]

I made the mistake of allowing my ex wife to blindly choose my child's programming and now I'm having him unlearn the communist Chinese he picked up from the "Word Party" TV show. Basically it's become clear how much of our children's programming has been tailored to brainwash children with the woke agenda.

Some may laugh but all Paw Patrol video games were developed and likely received significant funding under the Trudeau dictatorial regime. In that sense it's almost impossible Trudeau hasn't significantly influenced the series in multiple ways. I'm sure most of the content is fine but I'm curious if the game makes references to any of the following?

-socialized medicare
-any reference to Quebec sovereignty.
-crossdressing animals
-dogs transitioning to cats or vice versa
-any numerous topics that would be covered by thequartering

Appreciate any feedback and hope to have an answer for my 13 year old son on whether he can play this.

This gave me a good laugh. Thanks

The main issue with Paw Patrol is it's normalization of the police state.
It's arguable if this is woke - depending where you live in the world the concept of a fascist police state might be considered either left or right wing.

Crazy ridiculous. The whole show is about them rescuing people. Only 1 pup plays the role of police officer... Chase. I don't like "woke" crap, but that's one hell of a reach. OP we launched the game today. Doesn't appear to be anything abnormal at this time.

Paw Patrol is Giorgio Agamben’s nightmare, a country in which a permanent state of emergency exists, under which governments have limitless power to rule unilaterally. There is no society or even commerce in Paw Patrol, only the relentless unthinking force of the police state, ostensibly responding to a never-ending crisis. It is the most influential work of fascist art since Ezra Pound.

And The Guardian described Paw Patrol as a "neoliberal nightmare"
