Yeah, they're so sensitive that really is how little it takes to get them worked up nowadays. Hell, there's even a few groups whose sole purpose is to make lists of "woke" games which can include not only Baldur's Gate 3 (same sex relationships) and Bioshock Infinite (showing America's openly racist past), but also Call of Duty Black Ops (America is sort of the bad guy). I don't get it and I'm glad the people in my life who I care about don't get it either.
This is so funny because the game twists things toward the end to give the message "anyone who violently defends themselves against racist terrorists is just as bad as the racist terrorists."
Original bioshock is much more straightforwardly antiright with its message of "libertarians are wrong about everything and will destroy society if they're allowed to run it."
I completely agree about the Bioshock 1. A little off topic, Bioshock was probably my first exposure libertarian beliefs/Ayn Rand. I got curious about Atlas Shrugged in my 20s after replaying the game and my goodness that was a massive waste of my time. All I could think when I finished it was 'Did I just read the capitalist version of the Turner Diaries? Is that the reason they like the book so much?'
Infinite forgot to tell a good story and instead just kept the player moving from spectacle to spectacle

I have seen some of them shit on Stardew Valley.
Stardew. Fucking. Valley.
If you turned one of the paddles pink, they'd scream games have been woke since Pong.
Ugh, pretty soon they're gonna say Mr Rogers, Bob Ross, and Reading Rainbow are woke and bad.
