Yes, I am aware that the additional context you provided made clear you were using “woke” in the perjorative sense that is most often used to express disapproval of generally socially liberal attitudes, and that is why I objected to it. We are here to talk about games, not insult one anothers’ politics.

If anyone particularly wants to discuss the importance of representation in games, and specifically cRPGs, and how it can be done well or badly, then that’s fine but if so my expectation is that all involved will actively try to understand different perspectives, keep things constructive, and avoid confrontational (including perjorative) language.

I’d also ask anyone who has any issues with moderator interventions to pick up with me by PM rather than discuss in threads. The forum rules should soon be updated to provide clarification on our expectations on this front.
