There needs to be a website that tells you how woke a piece of media is...is there?

Thinking about getting Mortal Kombat 1 but I dont want to support more woke bullshit, which I know it probably has.

That's simple, look at the female characters, if they're uglier than the average service sector employee, it's woke.

The left can't stand having pretty women in virtual media so it's a big indicator of their influence.

Uglier and/or have that atrocious lesbian half-shaved haircut.

For movies & shows just use Rotten Tomatoes like this:

-Critics love, audience hates: Probably woke garbage preaching to the audience, purposely alienating a franchise's core fanbase, etc...Critics are wanking all over it because they identify themselves with the filmmakers trying to "center marginalized voices in a perniciously white, hetero-centric space" or whatever

-Audience loves, critics hate: Probably worth at least a cursory look. Critics crying because it "panders to a privileged audience and erases PoC & LGBTOMFGBBQ..." or whatever. Filmmakers likely had the audacity to try to provide a quality product that will earn money instead of brownie points with the self-appointed culture-commissariat.

-When critics and audience are in agreement, both are likely right. Sometimes something is just really good or really shit, all politics aside.

Everything is pozzed woke faggotry until proven otherwise. If it's not you'll hear about it

Man, that was pretty annoying, it really was shilled incredibly hard. But yeah, at least worth looking at, as it does sound like what OP is asking for, although I don't recall if it did video games.

Was also completely useless because it was nothing but people angrily rushing to label everything super woke because they saw a black guy.*

No consistency, no relevant info, just "saw a woman, wokeshit."

Never applied to anything but new products though, so all their favorites who also violated those rules were safe.

*Not that this isn't a good sign of wokeness in a lot of contexts, but there are also levels of wokeness and certain ones are basically irrelevant without compounding issues. Like blacks in a modern setting, you ain't gonna not get that in any media so its only a blip compared to "only blacks are competent, all white guys are gay or evil."

It absolutely has it. All the women got the Modern Beauty Standard treatment, and hard.

If you gotta ask, that's probably your answer already.

I couldn't find an entry for MK1 when I searched. Thats the problem with this linked website, it has low engagement, which doesn't help even when something is rated.

https://ratedby.app/community/woke/games

Like I searched Good Omens, on the tv series part of the site, and the first season was the only listed season without a rating. I started season 2 of it and quit, because 3 or 4 episodes in, the story was just about getting two lesbians to date and then two random homosexual thugs showed up, acted tough and then mentioned "grindr and twitter" as being the thing one guy uses most on his phone.

Use the rule of thumb, if the cover portrays a woman or a diverse protagonist then it's auto assumed to be woke trash. If the cover has a white man as a protagonist read the plot / promotion summary, if it includes diverse side characters, most probably the main character will be sidelined in favour of these characters (see Indiana Jones, Willow etc.)

My shit-filter isn't perfect and probably has a lot of false-positives, but here's how I've been rolling for vidya, shows, and movies made in the last 5-10 years or so:

  1. Female protagonist? Next
  2. Director or studio that's already destroyed a franchise before? Next
  3. Horrifyingly ugly females in a series that typically had attractive ones? Next
  4. Race/gender swapped established main characters in an adaptation? Next
  5. Any show or movie by Disney, Netflix, or Amazon? Next
  6. Too many girlbosses or mary-sues CGI kung-fu'ing in the previews? Next
  7. Minorities and girlbosses in historical settings where they clearly don't belong? Next
  8. Any mention of feminist/woke meme-words like "heteronormative" or "patriarchy" said unironically is immediately turned off.
  9. Lectures about "white men bad" get turned off.

I agree that it's not perfect but I honestly don't have the time to consoom like I used to so it's not like I can watch/play all the things anyway. Might as well stick to stuff I know that can at least clear these hurdles. And there's loads of classics in my backlog that I'd rather watch anyway.
