Add a Woke Tag
I don't want to see games that have forced leftist ideology and politics so add a Woke Tag so I can block all those left wing propaganda games

It's so annoying and I feel harassed

And which definition of "woke" would you like to use for this "tag"?

You do know this is an absurd request, right? It's impossible to filter a single premise that has various definitions and can be applied to the vast majority of games in the industry, depending how one wishes to apply "woke".

You can follow specific Curators, so the store page would have their Hint !

I post them here for you:

https://steamhost.cn/curator/44690208-Woke-and-Censored-Games-Alert/

https://steamhost.cn/curator/44858017/

Advantage is, in the extra reviews can be more details be found which specific part of a game is woke...

Since woke merely means "stuff I don't like", such a tag would be useless.
Notice how they never demand a 'Republican Party approved' tag, even though that's all anti-woke means. No one else in America uses 'woke', no one outside America uses it or cares except the Murdoch propaganda media. They call almost everything 'woke', but they don't want to try and define what isn't.
It's kinda odd to make a topic complaining about award farmers in reviews then shortly after, make this topic.

Imagine having a skin so thin you cannot tolerate different views even within fiction.

Such a tag would be useless to the vast majority of buyers who don't give a damn about the culture war anyway.

The only positive for such a tag would be to protect a minority of people who gets bend out of shape at the sight of a gay character or one with the wrong shade of color. Lol

Everybody is entitled to their opinion of course.

Personally I just say tags are user generated and that if the tag hasn't been user generated it's because a majority of gamers on Steam couldn't care less about the culture war nonsense.

There is way worse problem out here than "ah Mah gawd this ♥♥♥♥ is woke.". For sure.

It's not even views or ideologies, it's stuff like "this character is female" or "this character is black" or "there are two men living in the same house in this video game". Stuff that in the real world would be considered an "immutable characteristic".

Except if the game is made by Valve, for some reason. Those are exempt because the people who are scared of black or female protagonists like Half-Life: Alyx too much for it to be "woke".

I recently played Dave the Diver (picked it up in the Fishing Fest) and after seeing so many complaints about the diver being fat and the sushi chef being black, I'm confident that none of those people have so much as booted up the game. The game is fully aware that those characteristics are not stereotypical of those professions.

If the game was exactly the same except that every character was "acceptable" to those reviewers, a lot of the plot points just fully wouldn't make sense. It's like when I saw a Woke Content Detected "review" of eight games in the Deus Ex series and exactly four of them were labelled as having "transhumanist themes". That's the entire point of the series. It's a game about science fiction technical body augmentation!

Precisely, it outrage baiting for attention. Easily dismissed for the nonsense it is. The only unfortunate thing, from my Conservative perspective, is that this nonsense has given actual Conservatism a bad name. It has set back our ability to make actual positive changes for the world by decades.

What is a forced leftist ideology? Is it things you don't like and the game doesn't have Captain Conservative swoop in to punish "wrong-think"? Is your ego so fragile you need fictional characters to think and feel exactly like you do? There's nothing interesting to you about different people, different lives, different stories and different perspectives? You can only accept the familiar and approved stories that you feel confirm your beliefs and values?

Don't you get tired of the same thing ad nauseam? How sad and boring.

I must admit it is quite funny to see people advocating for total corporate safe homogenization of the culture still pretending to have the position of accepting different ideas. There are plenty of ways to say OP's suggestion is a non starter but this pretense is exceptionally and self-evidently silly. Did some youtuber start using it recently and everyone pick it up?

Hilariously enough, this topic came after OP making a topic complaining about jester farmers in game reviews.
