What is the “Woke Content Detector”?

The “Woke¹ Content Detector” is a database of game reviews recommending and especially not recommending games based on how “woke” they are. Behind this database is the Steam Community of the same name with over 3000 members discussing and labeling games as “Woke”, based on the discussions in the group recommendations are created and put on the list and published via their own Steam Curator. It is important to note that these people attempt to reframe “woke” as a negative attribute, considering diversity, equity and inclusion in games and reality a bad thing. To no ones suprise these people are racist, queerphobe, misogynistic and a bunch of other things. At this moment over 1500 games were reviewed by this group and of those over 800 are not recommended because of woke content. Intersting here is that it seems like that the “Woke Content Detector” community is very sensitive and even considers stuff like “game contains female frontline soldiers” woke, making a lot of games like Call of Duty also woke on their list.
