I know this a little old but the end this make think some.  Is Roll20 woke?
Correlation is not causation. It's possible a publisher's level of social awareness is completely unrelated to their sales. That said, if a store owner asked me what games to stock, or if a studio exec asked me which game franchises to turn into TV shows, I would tell them both to avoid "Not Woke" publishers. Those publishers don't do much business.

I think that pro-woke companies tend to be the biggest anyway. They'd be the best sellers even if they were or were not 'woke'. They are just pandering to a small but vocal minority in order to garner even more sales. So I don't give the article much credence.

WOW, existing franchises that are going woke can still sell on their name and brand recognition? Whodathink it.

For an apples to apples comparation take some unknown woketard's "RPG" and compare it's sales with some unknown non woke (normal) RPG sales.

Translation: Show me a woketard's RPG that hasn't a famous name/brand behind it, that sells better than say DCC, Swords & Wizardry or other small normal RPG publishers.

5e is selling well on the coattails of before it started going woke. It's also the game most normies know when you ask them about RPGs.

Also, the list is for the consumers, not the stores, and fuck the hollywoke degenerates. By all means go buy the most woke BS, whats more go back their crowdfunding campaigns that will never deliver.

I am just waiting for the irony to don on people that being aggressively "non-political" is political.

How is this woke?   Right now, with the current set up, I'm not seeing it.

You play a game and they'll help you donate to a charity.  ATM the money is to help people who are in the middle of a war. 

Now, they do say they plan to change causes from time to time.  If next time it's for trans rights or BLM, ok, then maybe you can call it woke.  But even then, it's not like they are putting it into the product, or donating from the direct sale of a book.

  If you mean dawn on people, I am pretty sure most people already understand leftists make EVERYTHING political.

Err.. I had wondered that myself. I mean, they look like a charity so I don't see anything woke per see. And anyone against Putin is a friend of mine.

Coming from a viewpoint that sees "an agenda" in everything.

No, it "comes from" a Carol Hanisch essay from the 1970s and rapidly became a tent pole slogan for "consciousness raising" efforts of 2nd wave feminism.

The sentiment behind the phrase has since been expanded into the "no escapism allowed" paradigm we see today where activists seek to incentivize the formation of a condition where all entertainment is subverted into their messaging and any counter material is condemned or suppressed resulting in something like a single allowable type of art verified by de facto boards of censorship similar to the Soviet Realism movement in the USSR and everything outside of that certification is seen as cultureless (nekulturny) and valueless if not harmful, atavistic, and destructive.

As if you know anything about me or my viewpoints. But please do go on, you're just rasing your hand higher so everybody can see you're a leftard.

Are you drunk? Lefties don't even agree with each other.

And that's setting aside a lot of people out there like me. My only permanent political position is my undying opposition to fascism.
