      Looking through the list it seems that adding optional they/them pronouns for the player character is enough.

      Add a checkbox that’s labeled woke mode, but never explain what it actually does.

        you have to enable it to play the game, otherwise your character just keeps sleeping and the game never starts

          Indie game blobun did basically that. Unwoke gamers could disable lesbians from an option in the menu. Selecting this removed the main character, who is canonically lesbian, from the game leaving it unplayable.

        A shit, that’s gonna be hard since I’m not implementing gender at all. Cause they say to only write what you know, and I don’t know no genders…

          They consider that woke too. Dinkum has ungendered characters and is therefore apparently woke

            Wait, it does do something. If you check the box then a little pop-up tells you “10% of the population hate you now :)”

      Based game dev. If I may ask, what kind of game are you making? I’ll definitely give it a try when it’s done

        It’s hard to explain, but it’s a web game in a similar vein to Neopets, but the active gameplay leans more in the direction of a Rougelike 😆 It probably requires quite the specific taste to enjoy it, I’m just building exactly what I would like to play myself haha
