Proto-Woke Games Thread

[Sandnigger Mudhut]

Fuck it, I'll bite.



Sid Meier's Civilization


Think about it. The goal is to become a globalized, Neo-liberal, hypermodern Democracy and win either by: assimilating all other cultures into your regime, having your culture become the dominant one on the map (American globalism), forming a one-world religion, etc. The populace, like how historiography is distorted today to view all people in the historical record as the same as the people of today, riot if you don't enact emancipation (Civ IV), the ideal liberalist "woke" form of government is typically the best way to win.

There is the inclusion of "great scientists", figures that stand out in history as greats in their field. Such greats like the many African scholars that achieved, um... stuff? And of course you can't forget the women that contributed to the sciences (seriously, the amount of great people in Civilization that turned out to have not truly accomplished much, but were included because of their pre-natal traits is alarming)!.

All leaders and nations have an equal shot at winning the game, exemplifying the "woke", egalitarian mindset that all peoples and races are equal. The Zulu going to the moon, despite them still being in the Iron Age upon European contact? sure! The Maori creating megalopolises using feats of engineering that the British and Americans didn't develop until the 19th century? Why not!

Political strategy games are really the hub of proto-"woke" entertainment, with liberal ideologies and unending increasing freedoms being the best path forward in most.

I can fight against woke stuff and also fight against Wage stagnation, Living costs, food prices and all sorts of other things. Just because you fight against one thing doesn't mean you have to ignore other things that are happening.

Literally only posts in vidya related threads. I'm sure your working to better yourself or make a stand outside of bitching about vidya though.

call me crazy but i think this is bait

 

[TATE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE!!]

A bunch of graffiti loving libtards trying to instigate a revolution against a supposedly evil and oppressive " Fascist " government ? If you don't think the game has Proto-Woke elements then I have a bridge to sell you .

Way to prove you are a brain dead retard, nigger.

 

[Dan of Steel]

It's because of fence sitters like you that the gaming industry has become the joke that it is today.

Hey retard, you're the nigger with the take that AKSHUALLY GAMES WERE ALWAYS WOKE!!!!11. So which is it? Did video games become woke or have they always been this way?

 

[Dysnomia]

Wizards and Warriors 2

I totally forgot that Fabio was on the cover!



How is the game proto woke though? All I remember is how terrible your attack range was. And dying a lot. But the graphics were nice.

The citizens of a futuristic Tokyo are oppressed by the authoritarian Rokkaku Group and their police force, the Rokkaku Police. A group of teenage skaters, the GGs, vie for control streets, while listening to broadcasts from DJ Professor K on pirate radio. " Oh and Professor K is a black guy for some reason, and the leader of the Rokkaku is trying to summon a demon so that he can take over the world

It just says authoritarian, not far-right authoritarian or nationalistic authoritarian. For all we know, the authoritarian police force could be far-left. The game's lore doesn't specify what their politics are and what exact their mission is for oppressing future Tokyo, aside from that they rule over Tokyo with an iron fist. Hell, for all we know it could be like that episode of Simpsons Treehouse of Horror where Homer gets sent to a parallel dimension where Ned Flanders is the unquestioned supreme leader of earth.

The Fandom Wikia page just says they're a financial conglomerate and an antagonistic force -- in other words, genius, they're just generically evil cartoon bad guys in suits with sunglasses. They're not wearing "Make Tokyo Great Again" hats, the main leader doesn't have a blonde combover and orange skin, and there's no concerted effort for the villains to capture and imprison all of the gays, women, and nonwhites.

Seriously, you deserve a fucking pink triangle for posting any of this.

Will you call Tomb Raider woke because the protag is female or what?

There was already a retard on here saying Lara Croft created pooners or some retarded nonsense. I'm still trying to figure out how that works. Think his name was Shiverpeak.

Katamari Damacy because it's gayest game ever made.

Cho Aniki is so gay it could turn a flaming hot faggot straight.

You're right, those sneaky, WOKE japs invited all the girls into our clubhouse from the start. No wonder gaming has collapsed if these are it's foundations!

Don't forget Centipede. A woman made that game. ROM cartridges themselves are woke as fuck because a black guy was part of the team that developed them.

 

[ShahOfIran1979]

Fallout is woke? Why, because it claimed that blind allegiance to a government is bad?

 

[The Last Stand]

Like I said before just because it's a good game doesn't mean that it can't have subversive woke elements in it.

Is GTA: Vice City woke because you end up working for Cubans, Haitians, Latinos and have an Hispanic love interest as a White (Italian) mafiaso? Is GTA: San Andreas woke because you're a Black gangbanger with no father? Is GTA IV woke because it preaches about immigration from one side mission?

He also tried to roleplay as some epic 4chan oldfag but didn't know what touhou was. He mistook an innocent picture that's been part of board culture of /b/, /jp/ and others for some heinous pedophilic content and had a fit that lasted several pages when he was corrected. What an absolute retard, he got his username changed due to yet another spergout.

Fallout is woke? Why, because it claimed that blind allegiance to a government is bad?

"Strong women" and "LGBT" in case of New Vegas, despite there being being only like 3 gay people in the entire game. I've seen some of the dumbest arguments in the Synth thread where I seen people who never played the games try to argue why they're woke by reading up on them from a wiki or watching some youtube video. Almost as stupid as someone saying Joshua Graham is also woke, but I think that was something I saw off-site.

OP is caught up in hunting for subversiveness but never prioritizes or directly looks for the key actors or original sources for subversion.
Artistic works like vidya etc don’t operate on an ‘advance the agenda’ basis every single time, and most of them just drift along with whatever flow they see. It’s so fucking pointless to go for the throat of a lolsorandom game like JSR that just simply did what’s most convenient.

I'm guessing because she was a female adventurer with sex appeal AKA having an above average chest?

Oh great the Horseshoe theory, I thought this had already been debunked back in 2016.

Here's a horseshoe theory for you:

Shadow the Hedgehog advocates for racism because you're a black animal with guns that kills disgusting black creatures.

They changed their name to 3deadniggers

It was this thread I believe

 

[babadook]

At some point there was a woman involved in development

Woke status confirmed

 

[sworddogmist]

Have you ever noticed how you can't play as the Axis Powers in any Call of Duty or Medal of Honor Campaign ? You really think that it's just a mere coincidence that they always make you play as the Americans or the Soviets in these games ?

Am I the only retard that never knew/was taught that the Russians were on the allied forces??

 

[umseriously]

Based OP. Future generations will call games like Baldur's Gate 3 and whatever woke slop that's currently successful as being "not woke" because they personally like them. Keep up the good work.

Aren't they already doing that though?

Late to this legendary thread but a part of me thinks that ‘woke’ means more than just simply having messages, themes, etc that are consistent with the ideology or culture of radleft.
I have a very strong feeling that ‘woke’ is also about conflict; SJW grifters and ideologues need to be able to use it as a weapon to scold others and grift hard on social media.
Could the first woke game have been depression quest?

Woke is disingenuous marketing. It's selling based on the message instead of the quality of the work, and demanding that people ignore the latter.
>We should support this game because it has a diverse team of alphabets and skin tones, and supports communism. Nevermind the fact that it's bland or outright broken in all the parts that matter. You need to support our personal revolution!
That's woke. It's also backed by the media. They run interference and damage control with outrage campaigns. AC Shadows got 5/5 stars from VG247's editor-in-chief, Dom Peppiatt, while he cited obvious problems with it. The 5/5 was important, as it increases the metacritic score.
Journalists will likely push the same article over and over to talk about new woke releases, hoping you forget they said all this before.

The best way to tell if something is woke is to watch the journalist activity. If they circle the wagons, it's woke. If they ignore it or attack it, it's not.
They'll outright lie in defense of woke media.
Alyssa Mercante, hipster cunt extraordinaire, published an article in defense of Sweet Baby, Inc. and mentioned the farms.

Even games that are widely considered to be successes are not safe from these conspiracy theories. Alan Wake 2 game director Kyle Rowley took to X (formerly Twitter) on March 3 to dispel rumors that Sweet Baby was the reason protagonist Saga Anderson was Black (a rumor first traced back to the aforementioned October 2023 Kiwi Farms post).

This was March last year. It was a "success" then, but as of late April 2025, it hasn't even made its development budget back, let alone marketing.

TL;DR Wokies defend the woke. If they rally, it's woke. You know who they are.

The same people that wrote those lines back then are some of the biggest
pro woke/pro dei propaganda shills in the gaming industry today .

Like I already said before the only reason why the 90s looked more based than today is because back then most Western countries were still overwhelming white, so the Elites couldn't go mask off just yet. They still had to pretend ( up until 2013 ish ) like they cared about stuff like Free Speech , Anti Censorship, Controlled Borders, Pro natalism, producing entertainment products that were still of good quality and not too preachy so that they wouldn't accidentally cause a mass awakening amongst the normies and a potential revolt etc .
