There’s a lot of work involved: Steam curator “Woke Content Detector” checked more than 1,500 video games for their supposedly excessive political correctness – and most of them failed him. But why does the user become so interested in the topic? And are gaming companies, as Hollywood once did, really using the popularity of their products to push an agenda? Krone+ analyzed.
“Counter Strike 2”? That’s not possible, you can now play as a woman. “The Elder Scrolls Online”? Contains ‘subtle pro-LGBTQ messages’, so not a good game either. You should avoid “Baldur’s Gate 3” because there are optional gay romances in the role-playing hit, and in “Witcher 3” the AI men can’t hide their homosexuality either. And stay away from ‘Until Dawn’ – there’s actually a pair of pixels that aren’t of the same ethnicity. Welcome to the world of politicized gaming, where culture wars are fought and entertainment products are placed into ideological boxes by missionaries of their worldview. Krone+ shows in a virtual local look where the abysses open in the gaming world – and that the arguments of the opposing camps on the topic of ‘political correctness’ are not always consistent.
