I like this concept and site. Wokeness scores are great idea.
I didn't really get a woke vibe from the Outer Worlds at all. There's some fantasyland politics, you know factions that hate each other and they whine and complain like you'd expect. But you can pick which side in every case even to the point of just offing all the people you don't like should you so choose. To be fair I don't go tallying men vs women in a game at all though. The ones that bug me are the really obvious woman good man bad (e.g. The Last Jedi) or putting women in historical situations they weren't in. I don't want women storming the beaches of Normandy with me. Not saying his take is necessarily wrong, just offering a second opinion.
I have not played Outer Worlds but from what others are playing is against capitalism, pro immigration and woman good/man bad so it would fail deep in to SJW for me.
Fair enough. It's been months since I played it so I could have just forgotten. I had fun with the game but it's quite possible I ignored the wokeness, as I don't really even remember the story to the game at all.
