Put your steam id/profile link in and it will tell exactly how woke your game library is :)

Only 158 of my 100+ games were counted but the ones that were have descriptions on them whether they are woke, slightly woke, or not woke at all.

How woke of a gamer I am and how woke my games are are two different questions.

When I play Skyrim as a Nord, I set fire to everyone who's not a true son or daughter of Skyrim.
 
Result: SLIGHTLY WOKE...
(14.29% woke + 57.14% slightly woke)

My main woke game was apparently Rome Total War II. I guess the colourful costumes, capes and muscly men made it too LGBT friendly...

Of course it's only looking at 213/967 (22.03%) games in my library. They gotta get cracking with updating this database.

Rockstar, so woke!
Yeah back then you had stuff here and there, and people were like ok, and moved on aside from the controversy here and there. Mortal Kombat, Hot Coffee, Mass Effect sex scenes, No Russian, Jack Thompson. Trite in hindsight compared to the horrors media and game devs today now endorse.

Mass Effect 3 was arguably the first big shift, when you had media and developers coordinating to outright attack fans for daring not liking their horrendous product and fucking shit endings.

Yet here we are where the next Dragon Age game will have top surgical scars as an option while females like Lara Croft are being censored and covered up in multiple games, even "remasters" of her iconic titles.

Wokeness did not suddenly appear one day. Its foundation has been laid over decades through slow and steady testing to see how populations responded and adjusted as needed. It only started to ramp up after Obama got into power to force it onto everyone, and then vastly ramped up when Trump ruined Clintons asperations, and revealed to many people just how bad things had gotten.

Not woke, unsurprisingly. The only 'woke' games I have are Portal 2, Terraria, the two Don't Starve games, and Rimworld. Although they have some pretty ridiculous qualifiers for considering things 'woke'.

Like Portal 2 being 'woke' for "portraying all male characters negatively and as less competent than female characters". And there are like... at most three female characters to anywhere between two and five identifiably male ones?
Chell is the silent protagonist with little characterization, GLaDoS is a crazed AI maniac, and Caroline is the only female character with any actual positive characterization - whose reply to "Say goodbye, Caroline" was "Goodbye, Caroline". Meanwhile Wheatley is a hypercompetent moron, Cave Johnson was the man who made the whole of Aperture happen but couldn't make a good business decision to save his life (and whose attitude eventually led to its downfall), the Adventure Core is the only obviously male corrupted core but doesn't do much, and the other supporting cast including the two co-op robots and The Rat aren't given obvious characterization.

How is... any of that 'woke'? 'Woke' isn't about putting women in positive roles and positions, it's about forced diversity and pointless focus on narratively and mechanically superficial things like pronouns and 'fair representation'.

Even in Rimworld, the transhumanist/nonbinary options aren't really 'woke'. They don't exist to tick a checkbox, they're actually narratively and mechanically significant.

As usual people just throw the word "Woke" on anything without knowing what they're saying and it only makes them look retarded.

I would have taken the test, but I couldn't find a way to set my profile to public in the phone app.

While I am against woke, I believe that describing the reasons why any of the games are woke is not objective. You don't have to be an expert to see DEI in games these days, but I can tell you that Portal is not a woke game.

I'm too stupid to use it. What do I have to write in there for it to show my level of woketardness
