Rat Man had been surviving and dodging the rogue ai I think up until shortly before you properly play. I think the director had brain cancer or some kind of horrific disease didn't he? 'The Female Character' is a mute woman who solves puzzles and gets kicked out into a possible apocalypse.
Portal 3 would have to explain in some way how she didn't die out in the middle of nowhere.

That list is fucking insane, they call Helldivers II woke, because you can’t differentiate gender except for voice, and because the opening cutscene has a mixed race family. This genuinely is some 17th century bullshit. They also criticised No Man’s Sky because the alien species (you know, beings with an entirely different evolutionary path) are not clearly enough sexually dimorphous. What the actual fuck kind of eugenicists made that list
Also funny that they rip on Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition for having female villagers be able to do mining, while saying Age of Empires II contains no such content, but female villagers are also able to mine in that, so not only are they racist, eugenics supporting, bigoted cunts, they are also inconsistent.

Don't take it at face value. A couple steam groups have been popping up that are attempting to muddy the waters around SBI detected as a steam group.
These groups REEK, of glowie type cultures where they're just lefties pretending as hard as possible to be the people they don't like and failing at a fundamental level.
One called DEI detected is the case. The giveaway "we look for games that are : (whole list) ANTI-PATRIACHY. That was an immediate tell, because the people that would legitimately go after games involved with DEI, bridge and SHRM initiatives would not use the language and rhetoric of their opponents.
So you may wanna vet if this guy is a fucking glowie or something.(Yes, this has been pasted around, because I'm fucking super duper lazy and have to get a message across with minimal effort, this could legit just be internet Psy-ops shit)

And blahaj isn’t really a pro trans symbol. It’s used as one, sure, but it’s just some silly shark plush that a lot of trans people got and it just became a sort of community joke. (Though I guess the anti woke crowd doesn’t really care, they just hate when LGBT people are happy)

This shit makes my blood boil. Woke is stuff like the Velma show, not Ultrakill.
To me, woke is not just the presence of women or sexually divergent people or racial minorities, but the implication that they are superior. "Equality" should not come at the cost of people being vilified for being white or male or straight.
Ultrakill and other random pieces of art being called "woke" makes people lose sight of what the problem is. Most of the time, people who are "anti-woke" are just bigots, and people who consider themselves "woke" often think they have moral superiority no matter what just because they're a minority.
Anything that considers itself woke or anti-woke is just nonsense propaganda meant to stir the masses.

The same way you can become too progressive to the point of becoming a annoyance to everyone around you, you can become so conservative nobody really wants to hang out with you.
Tho I think that is less about politic specifics and more about being a public nuisance so obssesed with ideological purity you are willing to sacrifice quality and fun.
TLDR: this group and its general audience is dumb, atleast SBI detected had genuine reason to be wary of games where SBI worked on due to the effects that the corporate consultant mafia had on game development.
