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”

    One thing I love about the game is that while you’re given many opportunities to give pro-communist opinions, Harry himself is a little too much of a fuckup to translate it to meaningful political sentiment. no matter what he espouses, he’s a miserable man reaching for ideology for his own ego’s sake, and that’s worthy of critique regardless of the specific ideology.

    editing to add: this contrasts well with Kim, a centrist/Moralist, the ideology the writing seems to have the most disdain for. Kim himself, however, is very consistently sympathetic. In context, his decisions are not driven by ideology outside of the basic belief that the RCM is legitimate and beneficial. Outside of that he’s open to critique but only really cares to respond to it as it pertains to the case, because that is the primary context where his opinion actually matters. It creates a very likable and righteous character in a political position the game is arguably most critical of.
