So yeah, I want to try playing some tabletop games, but I don't want to give money to the rainbow cult, so is there any sort of resource that can help me identify which board/card games are woke? Also, any specific recommendations from you guys? Looking for almost anything from casual party games to intense games with deep mechanics.

Or Quinn. I know that (at least for the second addition or one of the expansions, I can't specifically remember), she wrote one of the scenarios for Betrayal At House On The Hill.
But yeah, 99% of board games are going to matter more about who you're playing with than the game itself since most of the woke stuff might be some set-dressing at most (eg, a diverse display of characters, but that's about it, aesthetic and nothing more). And that other 1% are, generally, pretty blatant about being woke trash.
Also for OPs consideration, if you're ever unsure about a game, Tabletop Simulator has a massive workshop filled with games. While many are a little clunky in Tabletop Sim, it can give you an opportunity to try a game first. Some studios even put their demo's on there for you to try before you buy. Obviously, not everything will be there, but there is a decent amount, some of which are entirely scripted meaning there's very little work for you to do with moving parts around.
