How to make gaming less WOKE?!

Any idea will be helpful.

P.S. No, I don't need to define "woke". If the word is controversial for you or you don't know the meaning, please avoid commenting. Also avoid commenting if you think woke is good for gaming, thank you!

Well, no, not really.
Don't be silly.

Look up sweet baby inc, they help companies be esg compliant on their games and write for them, etc...

maybe you need to get steam to denounce their support and delete all the woke games

The refusal to define the word is somewhat telling.

IT's more fashionable to say "Woke" than "I don't personally agree"

Simple, give 0 craps about it.

Personally, I drink less coffee and play something REALLY boring when I want my gaming to be less "Woke". That and I don't buy games that aim to tick certain "inclusivity boxes" without actually trying to provide an experience worth playing.

Nah, apparently games can not be art and thus means of self expression by the developer to be tried by a public if they like. They ALL are a mindless product for ALL Gamers(tm) to consume, so it must cater to their tastes and their tastes ONLY. They must be the most inoffensive thing on Earth or they are trash. There must not be a shred of creative influence by the developer and must cater to the Gamers(tm) ONLY.

They must be the most bland and sellout product there is. Oh wait, there is Fortnite and COD doing exactly that: products that exist SOLELY to be products. To be consumed. Endlessly. Because heaven forbid if anything creative is done, lest it affect their bottom line.

Pretty much. Only warranty for zero "wokeness" is for the most cookie cutter, bland gameplay as possible and to ever exist, that way it can never send a message for......anything, since there is zero clear definition for "wokeness" to begin with and it seems to constantly morph accordingly to every single person who hears the term. Though Solitare might be too "political" for some, those infernal cards.

Is this thread about that fabricated outrage over lil' things, such as selecting protagonist's pronouns?

Honey, if that nothing offends you so much, play different games. It's THAT easy. Take Turbo Overkill, for example. Absolutely nothing there to hurt a fragile macho ego.

The woke are just today’s racists. The kind of people that will cry victim as they stab you in the gut. and the people here defending it are either ill informed or glad they can live out their racist fantasies

Just laugh in their face whenever they try to virtue signal to you, they are the world’s largest hypocrites. Screw any dev that takes that blood money from those special interest groups

Well, to fight back against this sort of thing just don't buy anything that promotes anti-white racism, sexual deviancy, race-mixing or any of the other decisive crap that makes us all hate each other.

I mean I don't know about you but people coming from mixed ethnicity doesn't make me hate anybody.

And that's not how that works, not even a little bit.

What is wrong with "race mixing?" Some people...

Best way is to vote with your wallet. Just don't buy games you consider woke.

I do this all the time now. Even refund games if you make a mistake of buying one. This trend will go away. Perfect examples are Disney, which are slowly doing a 180.
