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.
Oh, I get it, sorry for the confusion and thanks for the explanation.
No worries. There is always confusion around that word now, and that was done purposely.
Just like what they're trying to do with "fascist" right now.
For that I use this list from Umberto Eco
Note that Eco was writing about what he called "Ur-fascism" or nascent fascism.
I believe that we are past that now. Still a very very good list. I recommend reading the actual essay if you haven't yet. It's only like 8 or 9 pages.
