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?

What do you do about “purity spiraling” and “eating ourselves” like we often see tear apart organization on the left (like with Occupy Wallstreet for example)?
Eh, a gay dating sim with improved sword mechanics and AI is still a gay dating sim. It's no purity spiral to lump games like that all in together.
If GTA San Andreas came out last year would it have been called woke by some for its ghetto focus and showing the (white) cop as corrupt? If New Vegas came out last year would it have been called woke by some for that gay Confirmed Batchelor perk (among other things)? If Halo came out last year would some people have criticized it for its “woke” interpretation of religion (the covenant)?
Somewhat rhetorical questions but I’m also interested in peoples opinions so I’m posting this under your comment even though it’s not a direct response. To your point about kcd2 specifically, I think we should be capable of discerning between games with 1% gay shit and 51% gay shit and 95% gay shit, but that doesn’t necessarily mean treating those games differently
The whole point of KCD2 is to slip subversive shit passed the defenses of people who would otherwise reject it. That's why it's not loaded with blue-haired they/thems. It's much more effective propaganda.
