    The trick is that if you made a good game, then in ten years idiots will point to your highly political game as being from the time when games weren’t woke.

      I hate political games. That’s why my favourite is Fallout New Vegas, no woke politics, just a good, simple tale about a man delivering a package.

      Besides that “one weird trick”, the other is to just include a diverse sets of people/cultures in your game. There’s no need to push their agendas, just don’t misrepresent them. That’s actually what they’re asking for, even. It’s a lot more effective, IMO.

      Trolls will still complain your game is woke, but they won’t have any teeth.

        They thought Bluey was too woke and made “Chip Chilla”, which turns out to just be the same shit but uncreative, soulless, and blatantly agenda-driven. It turns out even treating kids as having agency and inherent value as people is too woke.
