    So “woke” means all of the following together, trying to summarize:

    • A game includes anything related to LGBTQ+ or political left-leaning ideology.
    • The above is presented via non-gameplay elements. It’s fine if its in the gameplay.
    • The game was a commercial flop or critically panned.

    Did I sum that up correctly?

      Not sure how commercial flop part is related but from what I understand from the people who talk about this, yeah it’s more or less something like that. Though I can easily say that many people have different definition of “woke” in their minds and it shows. Consistency differs.

      This is my conclusion, from what I see, it is mostly about TQ+ part.

        So this then begs the question, why are people decrying games as “woke” trying so hard to push their political agenda into gaming discussions? After all, as per point 1 + point 3, the game was already criticized/panned anyways, then someone came in and tries to push the critique onto a political level instead of a game one.
