How TF is Stardew Valley woke?

[[e-mail]]

I genuinely do not understand how this game is woke. The only reason I could think of is that you can romance other people as the same gender, but even then you can play as either gender, it makes no sense.

I don't play it but if you can engage in same sex relationships, then it counts as woke for the purposes of this group.

Even though it's optional and 100% avoidable as long as you don't romance the same-gender single characters. Plus, there's a single box of dialogue where Vincent (a child) asks why he can't be the Queen at the Flower Dance and clothes are no longer restricted to male or female avatars so cross dressing is possible.
Other than that, the game isn't woke compared to the agregious examples as of late.

I agree. It's REALLY not that bad in the broad spectrum. Games have had same sex relationships for decades now. It IS a bit of a shame because little kids could really enjoy these games if that content wasn't there.

The creator is "woke" and the game does share some woke-ish stuff in it. Mostly same sex relationships. Actually I think that's the only thing.
So yes? The game is, "Woke" but honestly its still a pretty decent game. Honestly I friggin hate the whole relationship mechanic.
Oh and also, the game does its best to portray Joja Mart as a evil big corpo company. Which I think is supposed to be more an allude to companies like Amazon. Or is just a goofy enemy. Even then the game doesn't change radically if you do side with Joja or not.
Idk, I'd mark it as like, half woke if anything. The good news is the game does not force anything like that down your throat, which is great because I can't stand games that go, "Oh my pronouns are blank and blank."
