Synthetic Man defined woke in simple terms in his Baldur's Gate 3 video. Woke is Cultural Marxism. That is basically anything, even a smidge, of Leftist propaganda. And no, it doesn't have to be forced. It is any messaging at all, even if it is subtle. What faggots like Arch, Dev, Az, Legendary Drops, Upper Echelon, EFAP, etc dance around is needing to allow some woke but not all for some arbitrary reason. They never say where the line is, but they always act like everyone knows. When is something too far and something is not?
They will say something like, "as long as it is not forced on the player. PLAYER CHOICE!!" That is stupid. "You push buttons, gamer" is a stupid argument because a game will never give you the option to rape children until they are dead and bleeding and then say it is ok because is is optional and you press buttons. And we know if there was game where you can play as a nazi and put jews in ovens or gas them but say, "it is optional" then these people would still whine and cry that the game should not exist.
