And leave reviews saying “Bought this game because it was on the anti-woke curator’s list. Thanks”?

Edit: it seems like people understand this post as a “let’s buy non-woke games”. I mean it as “use the list to find ‘woke’ games” and buy those. Not mindlessly, of course. But review-bombed “woke” games can have a harder time (especially in their forums), because of such curators and it could be a good way to discover actual good games that are subjugated to hate coming from these curators and groups.

    Instead of just saying that you bought the games from the non woke list in your review, why not give a personalised review? “I like that this game depicts gay women in a historical context” or similar?

    Makes it clear that you actually engage with the diversity rather than using their games as a platform to “own the right” or whatever.

      You can do that too. For me, it would fulfill two functions: give a review for a game with my honest opinion, and help make the “anti-woke” lists a double edged sword for the bigots: if you make a public list, it may also be used by the “woke” to support their games.

        Then the bigots will cackle and laugh out of getting a reaction from you. IMO not worth it.

          If you spend money on games they are trying to boycott and take attention away from, I don’t think they’ll cackle. Especially if many people do it. Then their lists will achieve exactly the opposite of what they want to achieve.
