The games are examples only, I’m asking in the general sense and even beyond games into movies or books or whatever - where do you draw the line?

I think it is gay to intentionally refuse to make distinctions where distinctions exist.
At the same time, I am annoyed at people saying that quarter-decent agitprop like House of the Dragon (whose pirated episodes I to my shame must admit to having watched, and continuing to watch) 'excellent'. That's just dumbing down standards to "wokery is OK if you're in my face only 10% of the episode rather than 100%".
Most people are more than willing to die on a hill of "woke shit is okay if I liked it." They will invent dozens of arguments to support that, but all of them are working backwards from "I felt dopamine hits engaging with it, so it can't be evil like the rest of those evil wokes."
If all of us were honest, and I can guarantee a lot of people won't be, we all have our guilty pleasures that fail the purity test for woke. And that's fine, as long as we can also be honest in saying "I won't defend X, but I enjoyed it anyway."
