Community Rules

You must post before you leave

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

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

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.

I think I'm cooked

Full woke games list: https://wokedetector.cirnoslab.me/full-list

All of the Dark Souls are slightly woke. I’m honestly very surprised about DS1 being classified as woke… ohhh… I forgot about Gwyndolin

Overcooked being fully woke for wheelchair raccoon chef but the sims being only "slightly woke" (they've clearly never played with any of MY sims) is wild.

FTL isn't woke? The game where you play as the diverse Federation against human Rebel supremacists to keep them from enslaving alien races?

Just checked Outer Wilds, which is deemed „slighly woke“ because the race of aliens to which you belong all use they/them pronouns. They do note that the race of aliens you‘re studying all use he/him/she/her pronouns.

Here‘s the thing - your race has evolved from amphibians. Hermaphroditism and spontaneous sex-change is a well-established trait in some species of amphibians. The other race are mammals, where such examples are much rarer.

For it to actually be a „woke“ thing, rather than world-building, you‘d have to have one of the mammals be referred to as „they“. Or, perhaps, one of your race referred to as „he“ or „she“. As it is, it suggests that gender is either non-existent or fluid amongst your species and therefore it makes no sense to use that as an identifier, and gender exists amongst the other species and therefore it does make sense to use that as an identifier.

And, truthfully, we don‘t know, because other than a couple of references to people „flirting“ with each other (in both species) and you being referred to as „hatchling“ rather than being given a name, sex gender, reproduction, etc. doesn‘t come up at all.

  1. I tried seeing if the site has Amorous on there because it's, IMO, the poster child for furry VNs and I couldn't find it. Absolute tragedy the people behind the original list or whatever haven't been exposed to it because I'd love to see the meltdown they'd have over it.
  2. Shame that I'd have to change the privacy feature on my account to see how "woke" I am because I'm sure it'd say I'm definitely woke. Especially since I like Amorous.
  3. Apparently the first Hitman game, the game about killing people, is woke because of diversity in a game set in 1999. How low can you sink?
  4. I LOVE how they mark BioShock 2 of all games not woke. The main antagonist running Rapture at that point is a woman, so you'd think those idiots would immediately mark it as woke because it's set in the past. That and just because she's a woman in power.

I'll probably quickly change the setting on my account and see what the site says, for fun, and change it back right after. I checked my friend and it gave him a woke score so good for him.

I checked my account before posting my comment and it says I'm not woke. Crazy thing is, if the original people had more of the games on my list in their "woke" steam list or whatever, they'd absolutely call me woke. They'd probably have the biggest meltdown over things like the Danganronpa series, Dofus/Wakfu/Krosmaga ( female deities/fighters ), and the BlazBlue series.

1: They do have "A Gay Love Story About Gay Love", marked as Woke, though. 4: It's because she's a villain doing things portrayed as big mistakes. See also the Portal 2 discussion:

On the scientists, I think it would be less Woke if they were all female. It seems that the events in the games take place in large part because the arrogant/foolish scientists lose control of their own experiment.

Maybe it's just me, but them being able to create amazing technologies seems like less of a problem if they lose control and all die as a result.

There's an implication there that they got in over their head and/or were incapable of handling the work they were doing.

I think that's a pretty good example of the effects of DEI in the workplace.

Not to get too far into the weeds, but you could relate this to what has happened to Star Wars/Star Trek.

A bunch of women in corporate positions produced a bunch of new media (which generated tangible results at first) but then the whole thing collapsed as a result of their methods and the IP are essentially dead at this point.

Maybe not an exact comparison, but there are parallels.

Apparently my library is only slightly woke. I need to work harder.

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Those chucklefuck lunatic reactionaries abuse the word "woke" so much in their blind hatred that it is indeed a cliche.

[–] bownage@beehaw.org 5 points 1 week ago

sorry, we couldn't obtain this player's games. try checking privacy settings. (games have to be set to public for this to work)

Checkmate

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wonderful woke games in my library: cyberpunk (because it encourages body modification hahahahahaha), dark souls 3 (the reversal ring, can't make this shit up), Gary's mod (kinda fair actually, I've heard alot of homosexual kissing in dark rp. Not that ice ever done that, for sure not, nope.) The binding of Isaac (Its one of the best games of all time what the fuck are these idiots talking about) among us (AMOGUS) halo infinity (features female front line combatants.....) war thunder (because a single tank has a skin with anime women on it. Like what, how the fucknis that woke? You idiots don't even know your own rules.) Hiveswap (gimme my fucking quadrant relationships you ducking weirdos) home front the revolution (features a black female engineer. Like, I couldnt possibly come up with anything more cartoonishly racist if I tried.) And last but not least, runescape (fair, actually, its why I still occasionally come back, gotta grind forever.)

Edit: i was shaking i was so hungry when I wrote this, but I think the misspellings and errors make it funny so its staying.

counter strike is woke because woman with muscles

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I tried to check my games list and the browser crashed.

Is that a positive response?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Cirnoslab? Touhou?

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Surprised they haven’t listed any of the Metal Gear Solid games at all in their database… those are woke as fuck.

[–] PDFuego@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I was infinity% sure this was a joke, and then I went to the discussion forum on a game and... it's not. I'm done for the day I think.

[–] Caitlyynn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

I love this list so much Pride Pins: wOkE! 1!! 1 Gay Sex: Sightly Woke

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Halo being woke because the body type for male and female are the same?

They both look different though. Is this accurate?

[–] gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It lacks a lot of games.

I've only really played a few games so far:

  • Luanti/Minecraft (estimated 1000 hours total)
  • Shantae: Seven Sirens (~30 hours)
  • Mindustry (~30 hours)
  • Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet (~30 hours)
  • Hyperbolica (~30 hours)
[–] SpaceScotsman@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love that "Lonely Mountains: Downhill" isn't woke, even though it gives fine grained control over your characters design, like a "feminine" body with facial hair.
