What does "woke reviewer" even mean?

"woke"

Anything the alt right doesn't like

Here's the context from the linked article under that "woke reviewers" sentence:

And a follow-up:

"if a reviewer objects to a character because of identity politics, I call that woke..."

I kind of agree with him. I initially didn't want to play the game because of all the bugs people were posting on reddit and because of reviews saying the game is average and pointing out some dialogs that were supposed to be bad or cringe.

Played it later when it came to PS+ and the game was amazing! The bugs had been fixed by then, and the dialogs were actually very good. The supposed bad dialogs from reviews were taken out of context to look bad.

I never read any reviews for this game and played it when I got a PS5 and it was one of the included games in the PS+ catalogue. The dialogue was easily the worst part about the game, lol. Well, either the dialogue, or the "missions" that were entirely "go to this spot on the map and talk to an NPC". Gameplay and overall the story was pretty great, though.
