“Does this game have any non-white or non-male characters?”
FTFY
Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers

Yeah, reading Steam discussions ruined my day. Just full of racism under the vale of wokeness…
Those fuckin’ “Is this game woke?” threads we see everywhere these days might as well be “Does this game have any non-white male characters?”
They are worst that the stupid asses calling for characters to have a gender option in games with a story. I mean, anyone here didn’t enjoy Die Hard because they could not relate to the hero’s gender and sexuality during all those fun action scenes?
Now, on a totally unrelated topic: “Looking to buy the game, but do these devs prefer a penis or clit in their mouth?”

It is so fucking stupid, because games would be so insanely boring if every character interaction was between straight, white, cis-het men, and no female character could ever pass the Bechdal Test.
Just like with movies and TV shows, I enjoy a variety of games that cover the entirety of the human experience. Why the fuck would I want to limit that??

yea but these gamers aren’t thinking about you, or about the quality of art
because this is what they want, they want the ethnostate in fiction just like they want in irl. they are white supremacists first and foremost

It’s hilarious! In the “is the game woke” thread, someone literally wrote:
To make analogy. In your world/culture its okay for China to steal all our furniture, devices in all western homes if the product is “made in China”. It once belonged to China and could have been stolen…

Holy shit! That might be the dumbest arguement I’ve ever heard. I might have heard worse, but nothing is coming to mind.

Fuck it. Moderator action.
Before the poster makes any other posts, they must answer the prompt: “Apologies! We’ve been dealing with an influx of hate speech and bigotry, so to clarify your concerns, could you please provide the intended meaning of the word “Woke” in this post?”

Good simple solution, I love it! Auto moderation would indeed out them easily.
