The engineer follower, whose name currently escapes me, obsesses over the chief engineer on one of the hubs you go to. They're both female. If I remember correctly, the developers made it a point to emphasize the fact that your engineer follower is asexual. There's also an extremely obnoxious dye-haired black woman you can get as a follower. I wouldn't say it reached critical levels of "woke", but there were a few times I let out an audible "Shut the fuck up."
You are understating the issue with the follower's lesbian obsession. Its her entire personal quest, which is both the longest of all followers by a mile and makes you basically trek to every location in the game. All for random items to assemble a perfect date for her to be lesbian in, as being gay is her entire character development. And as she is your very first follower, you are likely half invested in her by the time it rears its head.
But besides her and most of the game, especially the first world, being a big capitalism bad theme its not unplayable. Just not worth playing over any other game in the genre who did it better years earlier.
Played the whole thing my dawg. With my retarded lesbian and bro priest shooting behind me as I beat people like a caveman.
While the option to be the corpo is there, the game heavily pushes it as the "bad" side. And considering everything else about the game betrays a woke mindset in the team creating it, it stands to reason they themselves do not separate capitalism from corporatism in the first place as most of those are known to do.
How is Outer Worlds woke ?
You can literally play to any side or no side at all.

Tell me you didn't play the game without telling me you didn't play the game.
The whole team is not "Capitalism bad", it's "big monopolistic corporations bad, but hey, if that's your schtick, go be a corporate guy".

And ? You can completely make her life miserable if you want and ruin her relationship possibility and completely crush her spirit.
That's the whole point of the game, there's a bit of everything, and you're free to interact with it how you wish.
It's the very opposite of woke.
It shouldn't be there in the first place.
Why not ? Lesbians are part of my porn search history.
