It’s the exact same thing as right-wing weirdos associating the term “feminist” strictly with with the most extreme, fundamentalist, fringe elements of the movement, “feminazis” if you will, that went way over the equality hill and ended up in “all men are bad, m’kay” forest.

The fact that public media often reinforces that view does not help.

In short: the game is woke, because it showcases a gay romance with historical accuracy. Vavra thinks it’s not woke, because it doesn’t allow the player character to be a black lesbian with “them” pronouns.
