The woke activist invasion of popular media since 2015 continues to ignore the reality that they are not "rebels", they are villains, and their delusions are becoming more embarrassing for them with each passing year.

Woke tropes have become poison for any brand seeking a wider audience or greater profits, to the point that activist media projects must now be funded by governments and NGOs through DEI initiatives just to pay developer salaries.  The goal?  To saturate the market with multicultural ideology and LGBT propaganda until the public was forced to accept it and consume it as "normal."  The agenda has failed. 

Every new woke product seems to bomb harder than the last these days and that's a good sign for the future.  Video game players, a market which now dwarfs movies and TV streaming, are rejecting woke material en masse.  Case in point:  Dustborn.

The aggressively advertised game features a cast of queer activist "punk rock" characters that set out on a road trip across an America controlled by "conservative oppressors" that are really uncool.  Set in North America in 2030, The American Republic is under the iron fist of "Justice" and The Puritans, a fascist police force presided over by President Samuel Ward. California has gained independence and is now Pacifica, a corporatocracy ruled by the wealthy few. Texas has seceded, rebranding itself as the libertarian Columbia.

Hilariously, players fight the fascist government by using the "power of words" to gain allies and divide their enemies.  Characters can also build up their "trigger meter" to really punch the patriarchy.
