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.

    I’ve absolutely been attracted to games that were suffering from anti-woke review bombing before. I wouldn’t buy something in a genre I don’t care for just because but being referred as woke, even negatively, is always a plus for me.

    That being said I wouldn’t advertise my support of the game specifically as a jab at the anti-woke mob. I’d simply leave a positive review underlining precisely how this game is inclusive and why that’s a good thing.
