I honestly don’t know, the word’s meaning has been entirely nebulous since the right co-opted it.
Usually when people complain about “woke being shoved in their face,” it’s because they don’t like that a character is: female, brown, trans, or gay. That’s why I was curious, because I hadn’t heard that about Deadfire.
Those kinds of people typically completely miss themes like colonization.

For that I use this list from Umberto Eco
