As pointed out, Nintendo did join in the BLM shit.
The only way to consoom and not help fund these companies is to pirate anything and everything. Books, TV, movies, games. Pirate it all.
I'm in the process of selling my entire PS library cause of the CMOS battery issues and the fact that Sony have gone full woke. Some games I'll buy on Steam, but not if the devs are woke.
From what I remember Valve only begrudgingly had a 'black devs sale' after people complained they didn't put out a BLM statement. So I just put all those devs on ignore. And the sale was called the Guerrilla Sale, which I can't help but think was a joke.

I would argue against even pirating woke media, especially by torrent. These companies often track how many sales are "lost" due to piracy and will use it to justify staying the course even if the woke media doesn't sell well.
I would instead promote greater awareness of every step of the supply chain for media. I believe we should try to support non-woke media, but not at the cost of a woke company somewhere along the chain getting a single cent. Create financial incentive for the establishment of non-woke distributors.
And also enjoy the decades worth of past media that isn't woke. There's more out there than anyone could enjoy in a lifetime. Just don't support woke companies by doing so; if you're against piracy, hit up your local flea market.
I respect that position but I have to disagree. Not because I have misgivings about piracy (because I don't, the creative visionaries usually get shafted as a corporation milks it into perpetuity).
Don't give them the mindshare.
Why play some propaganda-pushing title made by woke marxists? So you can engage in discourse about it? The discourse makes it relevant. If no one talked about BF6, for example, the hype cycle and viral promotion disappears.
Give your attention to worthy projects, small projects that don't yet have a community. I have a dream that people will say "Oh? Another Assassin's Creed? Don't care" because I don't care about socjus trash.
