I’m getting the Xbox game pass on my laptop and since I’ve heard it described as Skyrim in space I’ll give it a chance since Skyrim is my favorite. I am worried due to the direction gaming has gone what will be injected in it

The fuck? Sounds like a guy I remember on c/gaming who was ranting the same thing. OK I know there's a few people like that but that's an SJW strawman and not remotely true for most of us. We just want to enjoy our media in peace without the wokeness.
Naturally, most gamers are men, and to sell more games they will make females attractive to the audience. That could be giving them giant tits or other feminine features. It's pure capitalism. When developers aren't doing that - and it's not a game by some indie dev with an uncompromising vision - it's because of woke.
Give us an example.
20 years ago things like that would have been ignored or thought of as novel. Now they're a declaration. A lot of people use "woke" as an easy synonym for crap since anything modern and crap will almost always have elements of it due to obvious reasons (like the hiring policies of development studios, ESG, etc.) It's also good counter propaganda to call things that, admittedly.
I haven't heard much about Forspoken but it has a black female New Yorker as a lead character, irritating dialogue, writers associated with Disney and Marvel, and the Square Enix stamp of shit. Those 4 things alone signify danger and do not approach, and I'll be very surprised if it turns out to be playable.
