And leave reviews saying “Bought this game because it was on the anti-woke curator’s list. Thanks”?
Edit: it seems like people understand this post as a “let’s buy non-woke games”. I mean it as “use the list to find ‘woke’ games” and buy those. Not mindlessly, of course. But review-bombed “woke” games can have a harder time (especially in their forums), because of such curators and it could be a good way to discover actual good games that are subjugated to hate coming from these curators and groups.
Fucking yikes.
On a game with “schoolgirl” in it. Outed as pedo ngl
The party of “family values.”
I’m going to buy a game if it’s good and I like it. “Woke” won’t make a bad game good or a good game bad.
That’s good, because that wasn’t what I was suggesting 🫰
No. Instead, you should buy games that are good.
And those often happen to be “woke”. Baldur’s Gate 3, Hades, the Spider-Man games, etc.
Oh, for sure! I replied to the first version of the question, which was worded in a way that sounded like OP was looking for anti-woke games, instead of the reverse.
I’ve absolutely been attracted to games that were suffering from anti-woke review bombing before. I wouldn’t buy something in a genre I don’t care for just because but being referred as woke, even negatively, is always a plus for me.
That being said I wouldn’t advertise my support of the game specifically as a jab at the anti-woke mob. I’d simply leave a positive review underlining precisely how this game is inclusive and why that’s a good thing.
To be honest it seems like they’re so paranoid about The Woke™ that it would be almost useless. It would just be a recommendation for every single game that has a plot and wasn’t made by dickheads
OP, I’m assuming you mean should we buy games that are on these curator’s lists as being “too woke” just to spite them? I think folks are a little confused about what your question/argument is, here. Also the typo in the title isn’t helping.
Yeah, woke. Oops.
I’m not suggesting “buy every game on this list” but to use it as a means to discover games. There are probably good games on there which get undue hate from the curator’s followers and are not very well know. The followers do try and review bomb the games, so they don’t bubble up to the top naturally.
Haha. I already do this.
I’ve discovered lots of great games and media after being warned about one “woke” aspect or another.
Edit: I’m not sure tolerating the writing quality I expect from such a list is worth it for some game recommendations, though.
I’d rather live my own life than live my life just to spite someone.
I mean, it’s possible to do both, though.
I prefer not to give those people any attention at all.
It’s not about given them attention, but the games they are boycotting.
Oh wow. Imagine thinking that ‘woke’ is actually a thing. When I was in high school, ‘woke’ just meant ‘real shit’ or something similar.
Now it’s a buzzword used by incels to push their brand of ‘but muh feelies don’t like that.’ This post fucking reeks of selfish entitlement.
You missed some updated context; OP messed up, they meant they shop AGAINST the list and see it as a good way to find “woke games” which generally just means games not made by complete assholes.
