    Perfect list to buy new games.

    Maybe we should have one of these but for socialism-friendly lists; games that are produced for and by a self-organised worker corporative!

    • All characters are female. The story is about motherhood and gameplay revolves around the player character and her daughter.
    • According to Art Director, David Fernández Huerta, the inspiration for Level 1 of The Archipelago was Drag Queen Kim Chi:
    • As previously mentioned by Aerctaure, [“has a bonus level featuring pro-environmentalist messaging sponsored by an anti-deforestation charity”] The Lost Forest level was added as part of a contribution to Playing for the Planet’s Green Game Jam 2021:

    Train Sim World 5: “The DB BR 403 ICE 3 Railbow DLC features a pride flag, mirroring Deutsche Bahn’s real-world ‘Pride Initiative.’” So woke for accurately representing a real-life livery.

      I think it’s just easy to bait the steam group into having any game you want, have any rating you want. If it’s obscure enough

    I love that “Lonely Mountains: Downhill” isn’t woke, even though it gives fine grained control over your characters design, like a “feminine” body with facial hair.

    Project Zomboid: Contains subtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The Sexy Time and Bedroom Zed events have a 1 in 7 chance of featuring two same sex zombies.

    The amount of time and effort it takes to find something like that. Weirdly obsessive over LGBTQ stuff.

    I was infinity% sure this was a joke, and then I went to the discussion forum on a game and… it’s not. I’m done for the day I think.

    Just checked Outer Wilds, which is deemed „slighly woke“ because the race of aliens to which you belong all use they/them pronouns. They do note that the race of aliens you‘re studying all use he/him/she/her pronouns.

    Here‘s the thing - your race has evolved from amphibians. Hermaphroditism and spontaneous sex-change is a well-established trait in some species of amphibians. The other race are mammals, where such examples are much rarer.

    For it to actually be a „woke“ thing, rather than world-building, you‘d have to have one of the mammals be referred to as „they“. Or, perhaps, one of your race referred to as „he“ or „she“. As it is, it suggests that gender is either non-existent or fluid amongst your species and therefore it makes no sense to use that as an identifier, and gender exists amongst the other species and therefore it does make sense to use that as an identifier.

    And, truthfully, we don‘t know, because other than a couple of references to people „flirting“ with each other (in both species) and you being referred to as „hatchling“ rather than being given a name, sex gender, reproduction, etc. doesn‘t come up at all.
