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.

The trick I've learned is to find a comic and board game shop that you like. It has a game you want to play? Then come over on Friday and Saturday and learn from the people who frequent there. Be honest that you are new. This will help you find the local groups for you to choose from.
Another important thing, most stuff is available through the mighty seas for long voyages matey. If you have a 3D printer, you can make pretty much anything you want. Print them in black, and then just paint highlights. This makes it look semi drawn, and you don't need to spend a lot of time with intricacies.
All the books are available online as well. So you can go into detail if you want.
For your first character, don't go into super detail. The character will have story happen to them that you can reveal at dramatic moments to screw with your DM whenever you wish. Keeping it some means the time spent making the character is short and you can get to the fun stuff of the game.
Slowly buy things, and take pictures of stuff you would like. In a few months you will have more than enough for any table.
Even if it's not your house, bring some food. Everyone will like you better this way.
Well, first of all, I don't really want D&D type stuff, I want like... actual board and card games.
Second of all, the closest card shop to me literally has a tranny flag hanging in the front window. So... yeah...
Ugh. Sorry. The flag is a great sign to ignore the shop. There are cats shops and board game shops and my advice works the same. Friends have a price limit on cards they print out for Magic the Gathering.
Check out Qixit. Also, try making a friendly game of Countdown.
