You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Factorio is considered "slightly woke" since enemies attack pollution producing machinery... Holy hell these guys are insane

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Female front line troops are woke. Guess civ is out of the question for these people

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago

Halo Infinite is woke because "female frontline soldiers and are indistinguishable from male soldiers"

[–] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

Troops? Bro, even female villagers/workers are woke in Age of Empires. Apparently they want them to work less efficiently than male ones for the sake of realism: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Woke_Content_Detector/discussions/1/4763207599014826946/

The bottom of the website says it's a joke.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 76 points 1 week ago (3 children)

THIS website is a joke but its pulling from a real list that isnt a joke and is entirely unironic.

I figured traffic to this site vs the original list was better for everyone so I didnt include the original source.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Ahhh word. Some of the stuff was so insane I legit thought it was parody

Looked up my list and it’s really curious to see the ratings for my favorite games. Some games were marked “woke” for things I absolutely wouldn’t have thought of, while in other games I think some of the messaging flew over their heads.

Woke: Counterstrike, because there are female skins

Not Woke: FTL, where the main goal is to defeat an organization of violent racist facists.

Where most of it comes from:

Tf2 is woke

[–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just wanted to point out the Metal Slug section of the list. It's woke because the frontline soldiers are women.

These "people" are mentally deficient.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Love these games. Must be why I love treating women like human beings.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 29 points 1 week ago (3 children)

This list is hilarious. It's so inconsistent. Assassin's Creed is woke because of a line in the fucking start screen of the game. Most games I love are woke according to them. What a sad existence must these people have when they cannot play all these great games. Cyberpunk? Woke! Satisfactory? Woke! Hades? Woke! Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor? Both woke! Celeste? Extremely Woke!

They should make a second meme page for it that changes woke to based and reverses the colours while keeping the comments intact.

i lol for the final fantasy 15 one

Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. In Lestallum, women work in the factory while men raise children and take care of the household. There is no explanation for why this is the case.

also ff7 being subtle pro climate messaging and forced ecoterrorism lol fellas is it woke to stop an ancient alien from another world from destroying the planet with a meteor?

Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Option to make the player character a man married to another man. Features homosexual interactions and romance.

can u believe they put an option to make a male pc marry another man in dream daddy the gay dating simulator? what's this world coming to?

asdklajdklajdakd @ assemble with care: "Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. The player character is a WOC who can fix any antique. She immediately finds plenty of work in a town she has never been to before. 2 of her 4 clients are also WOC."

There is no explanation for why this is the case.

They are soooo close to getting it.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Perfect list to buy new games.

Maybe we should have one of these but for socialism-friendly lists; games that are produced for and by a self-organised worker corporative!

Hell yeah

My favourite is this one

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 20 points 1 week ago

I like how Helldiver's II is "slightly woke."

It's perfect. Because I have seen actual fascist sympathizers get angry about the idea of it being satire.

[–] python@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (9 children)

My game isn't done yet, but uuh how do I apply to be on the woke list?

[–] ManixT@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Add a checkbox that's labeled woke mode, but never explain what it actually does.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

you have to enable it to play the game, otherwise your character just keeps sleeping and the game never starts

honk honk shoooo

[–] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Indie game blobun did basically that. Unwoke gamers could disable lesbians from an option in the menu. Selecting this removed the main character, who is canonically lesbian, from the game leaving it unplayable.

Now THAT is a good idea! I'll make it checked by default as well.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago

Just stick a rainbow flag in the background somewhere. Apparently, that's enough for this particular flavour of idiot.

I thought it'd be fun to check the Assassin's Creed games. All super woke for about as absurd reasons as you can imagine. My favorite one though was Assassin's Creed Black Flag which is woke apparently because it shows Mary Reed engaging in crossdressing. Which is funny because if you go to the Wikipedia page for Mary Reed you'll see an 18th century wood engraving of her dressed in men's clothing.

I love Woke Content Detector. It's sold me on a whole bunch of games over the last few months. I would never have stumbled upon Kitsune Tails without their recommendation. :)

[–] umbraroze@piefed.social 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is hilarious. Randomly reminds me of some website from the 1990s/early 2000s that had "Christian" movie reviews. Even the most innocuous films imaginable were labelled mega offensive. Except for explicitly Christian films, and one old film which the author really liked so it was only labelled mildly offensive after an impressive show of mental gymnastics.

I love the thought that someone "anti woke" played through Gay World just to make sure it is actually woke

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

2184 hours played. They had to really make sure.

features a setting where straight people are arrested and forced to engage in homoerotic activity

[–] pory@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Slay The Spire dodged the woke allegations? Two of the four playable characters, including the objectively strongest one are women. One of the remaining two is... Well, i want to say non-binary but the character is very much binary lmao.

Train Sim World 5: "The DB BR 403 ICE 3 Railbow DLC features a pride flag, mirroring Deutsche Bahn's real-world 'Pride Initiative.'" So woke for accurately representing a real-life livery.

[–] umbraroze@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

(I'm a trans girl with autism in the family) Hey a train simulator. Holy shit I'm having fun!

(hear it's being described as one of the major Retired Dad Magnet simulators) Ummmmmm am I safe, guys???

(Woke Annihilator Rays descend from the heavens, just because some German train has a rainbow livery)

(A bunch of grumpy retired dads FROWN at the spectacle of their favourite sim being besmirched so)

Wow looks like I'm in good company

Wow this was incredible. I saved the whole page of my games so I can look back at the absurdity. One of my personal favorites:

Amputees are woke. Who knew?

Practically the only games I’ve played that aren’t woke are Frostpunk - the child slavery simulator. And Overlord, a game where you are literally the villain and command a slave army of gremlins. We live in the satire reality.

Monument Valley 2

  • All characters are female. The story is about motherhood and gameplay revolves around the player character and her daughter.
  • According to Art Director, David Fernández Huerta, the inspiration for Level 1 of The Archipelago was Drag Queen Kim Chi:
  • As previously mentioned by Aerctaure, ["has a bonus level featuring pro-environmentalist messaging sponsored by an anti-deforestation charity"] The Lost Forest level was added as part of a contribution to Playing for the Planet’s Green Game Jam 2021:

Project Zomboid: Contains subtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The Sexy Time and Bedroom Zed events have a 1 in 7 chance of featuring two same sex zombies.

The amount of time and effort it takes to find something like that. Weirdly obsessive over LGBTQ stuff.

It is actively depressing that this exists and people use it unironically.

Like, it makes me embarrassed to categorize myself as a "gamer".

[–] Noved@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Life is Strange: only slightly woke

Tomb Raider, Halo Infinite: Woke AF because checks notes female front line combatants. lol

[–] Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

They classified Half-Life as not woke lol. Also if I hit them with 1000+ games they have like 200 of them.
