Steam Curator: Woke Content Detector
store.steampowered.com
We identify whether a game has Woke content and if so, to what degree. Our Group Page has more about our methodology and our full list of games. The list is growing, but we need your help! Join and contribute!

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”

    This is a real world example of why media literacy matters.

    Most common reasons for being woke:

    • Gay people
    • Gay people getting married
    • Player can be gay or trans
    • Non-white people
    • Player is non-white
    • Strong women
    • Socialism

    Their “non-woke” approved games include Bayonetta, Tropico, The Witcher, and Final Fantasy XII.

      Bayonetta - the one where both the protagonist and primary antagonist are a strong woman with magical powers? That Bayonetta? The one whose soundtrack and art style was designed to be primarily feminine?

      Also, I’d be willing to bet they don’t consider The Witcher as woke because it has lots of nudity, with the male main character being able to boink a whole bunch of NPCs.

      100% couldn’t agree more.

      We have an indie game they declared “woke” because it has a non-binary main character. That main character is a half drawn stick figure. Never drawn with pants or a dress, or even two arms (they have just one).

      But this half drawn childrens stick figures with no identifiable gender is too “woke” for this person.

      Media literacy is indeed dead.

      Edit: Name of our game is INK INSIDE.
