Just in case anyone’s not sure how to find cool games on Steam:

  1. Visit Woke Content Detector
  2. Click “Not Recommended”
  3. Enjoy :)

For added entertainment, they sometimes Don’t Get It and what they say is “subtle” is, in fact, right in your face.

e.g. they say Monster Hunter Wilds is “subtly pro-climate action” which is like saying a tungsten cube is “slightly hefty” or Life Is Strange is “a little bit gay”

    OMORI

    No woke themes or negative depiction of Christianity. However, the main character, Omori, is a “hikikomori” or “shut-in”. According to Japanese government data, there are about 1 million such people, or less than 1% of the population. As such, NOT RECOMMENDED.

    Woah, a minority? This dude is FRAGILE.

      If they’re going with that, then all games should portray Chinese and Indian characters only to not be “woke” since they’re the majority.

        They are doing it on a per-country basis. For example, they are OK with everyone being Japanese if the game is explicitly set in Japan.
