It's a word used by right wing people when something doesn't cater specifically to them or reminds them that minorities exist.

See also SJW, don't put politics in muh vidyagames!!1!1 etc

Don’t confuse right wing with alt right. Just like I don’t group up all left wingers with Antifa. 

Just want to say that I’m not opposed to minorities or gay people in video games. The woke label in video games merely means shoehorning in a left wing idealized view of the world into a story. Which many times the story and characters change to conform and the message only appeals to one political spectrum (instead of just being a politically neutral story that has universal appeal). Hence that’s why woke games are so divided and come across as preachy.

For the record I don’t consider LOU 1 as a woke game. 

I also see nothing woke in TLOU1. Amazing story and its one of my favorite games ever. For videogame websites, media, developers etc unfortunately there is only one side of the spectrum and it is to the left. Actually far left. The discussion about women in battlefield 5 for me was the final proof. No matter how much you try to explain, you always end up with the bigot and nazi namecalling. The "only one" challenge made by Sofia Warniyz a few weeks ago exemplifies it very well. But let me get out of here and this is not a political discussion.
