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”

    As opposed to the totally realistic depiction of white male assassins in the franchise.

    What white males? The arab, the native american, the italian, the greek and egyptian?

    oh, the one that was set in victorian england? Also the many others I missed because I stopped giving a shit after 3 and they ran all their goodwill into the ground?

      I love how murican white racism is just xenophobia. “White? But that person with a #FDEFE5 skin is from a Mediterranean country!!!”

        I love how murican white racism is just xenophobia. “

        I’m not american. Italians and other south Europeans/Mediterraneans were considered non-white and discriminated in the past; if you are against “wokeness” than you should also be against considering Italians as white, since they are accepted due to trends of social progress and integration. Thus, Mediterraneans should be considered persons of colour for DEI non DEI purposes.

        I do not care if they are or are not white, do not harbor ill will towards them, and don’t consider myself particularly white either (ethnic Turk). I do want to deny people who seek to gain cachet by pretending to be part of a “better” (their perspective, not mine) race to further their own social standing, because I want them to realise these systems and viewpoints oppress others, and people like them.

        Also; if Mediterraneans from southern europe are considered white, why not Mediterraneans from northern africa? Those parts of the coasts of the Mediterranean were also in the roman/etc empires, what’s wrong with those places? Why do they not get to share in the legacy of rome and western civilization?

          if Mediterraneans from southern europe are considered white, why not Mediterraneans from northern africa?

          Because the whole discrimination/racism thing is moronic and not rooted in rationality? I get where you’re coming from but they don’t care at all.

      Not sure I get the point of your comment but Ezio is white, yes. If I gave enough of a fuck I’d argue that Alexios is, too. There are also like 3 english dudes, and the viking.
