The Wokeness reviewers missing the forest from the trees

I once had an idiot rant at me that a movie character was woke because she was named America.
They don’t know anymore what woke even means. There is a good chance that gay sex isn’t categorised as woke.
- Woke is just the new 'satanic'. The bigots of the day don't care what it means, it sounds distasteful to the people who'd listen to them so they apply it to whatever they're opposed to.
  
  I can't wait to watch "Late Night with the Woke Devil".
- The meaning of "woke" changed... Like... 4 times, and very rapidly too. Now it's just thrown at literally anything. Anything at all.
- You make a very good point, "woke" has become a blanket term meaning "whatever offends our sensibilities the most this week."
- Wouldn't that make her patriotic? Which they think being woke is not.
  
  It would if she wasn't brown.

How do I add games to that list? I want to add every multiplayer game that I play online as "Super Woke" in bold red letters.
- This is Praxis.
- Shit if some incell labels a game "woke" it probably just means I'll like it.

And yet the help desk peons gave me a “strike” because I named a Kitgun “This Kills Fascists” and a zaw named Kill All Fascists.
Now I just name things after historical anti-fascist heroes. Luigi is up next!
- I'd have renamed it 'This plays folk music' in reference to the instrument that read/reads 'this kills fascists'.
  
  In fact I tried to name it “This Machine Kills Fascists” but that’s too long. “Woody’s Guitar” is on the list though.
  Also support peon’s just change the name to something like “pistol0023” or some similar internal db reference. I have to PAY to rename it to something I like.

Yeah, there are flags and stuff but where the fuck is there gay sex in Warframe? It has been some time since I played it the last time, but I'm sure I would have remembered that.
- There is only implied gay sex if you date a 1999 Hex member who is the same sex as your Drifter. Then every time you walk past them in the mall backroom base of operations, you'll get tons of colorful comments about going to pound town later. It's kind of amazing.
  
  I'm not sure Warframe has any limits but I'm surprised they added romance options.
- as usual these people never fail to make things sound way more amazing than the boring reality
  i'm pretty sure "fully automated luxury gay space communism" was coined by the right wing in an attempt to disparage progressives

you know I have never played or seen this game (or series if it's a series), however this post is just about gonna make me get it solely because that website disclaimer-ed it as woke
- it's such a good game, I can't believe it's completely free to play lol.
  
  It do be quite grindy but its devinetively a great game with a good and fair in game trading mechanic.
- HMU if you want a guide. I'm happy to help a new player through. Woke, not woke, whatever it is, it's a damn nice game and community. Am more than happy to introduce it to people

Gay sex isn't woke. Bragging about having gay sex is.

.... There is no sex in Warframe. The fuck is this dude talking about?
There are a few suggestive themes, and a number of the Warframes certainly are nice to look at, but outright sex?
Unless...
I mean, Albrecht and What's-His-Name are a couple, and Albrecht gave a short, intimate touch on the cheek in one cutscene. Does that count as gay sex?
- You haven't played 1999 I take it?
  
  I have, but only the main story part.
  I know there's dating now, but... They added sex?
- To these obnoxious bigoted busybodies? Yes. It wouldn't count as strait sex if it were opposite sexes doing it but logic doesn't matter to them.
- Fake fan.
  
  Lies. I'm ONLY fans.

Might be easier to list games that aren't "woke". And how did they manage to forget about Ticker?
- Trans rep was the first thing on the list
  
  You're right, somehow my brain was just being dumb and I managed to skip over that when reading lgbtq+.

I'm sure the very diverse group of people that made the game are completely fine if your bigoted ass stays far the hell away.

...theres gay sex??? where?
- Probably, they found some mention of a non-cis relationship and decided to blow that up to saying there's porn in the game because that's what this modern brand of bigotry does. Along with trying to legislatively ban porn, which they've previously defined as anything non-cis.
  
  awwww.
  they should add the gay sex to warframe, they already added the childbirth minigame ;w;
- I thought Warframe was a 3rd person looter shooter. What happened since I stopped playing??
  
  Gaming took a strange turn after Pornhub blocked America.
- The New War if you run it as Gara.
- I'm pretty sure a recent patch adds a new syndicate that basically functions as a romance/dating simulator.
  I don't think it gets explicit, but maybe?
  
  it does not, we just call eachother pookums and babe and trauma dump
  
  If you mean explicit as in a sex scene? No.
  If you mean explicit as in if it's implied. Oh yeah, 100%. Drifter is, canonically, not a virgin now. It can get as gay as you want it to.

I can't believe I've been playing WOKE-frame this entire time! I should have suspected this game was political given the ecofascists are aligned with the space merchants and against the lesbian space school faction!

Shhh, don't tell'em! This is funny!

Warframe fucks.

Now it makes perfect sense why my very bi friend loves this game so much and why he tried so hard (and kinda failed) to get me to play it with him (I'm just not good at shooters).

"Wokeness" is a term that doesn't mean anything.
