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.
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
My game isn’t done yet, but uuh how do I apply to be on the woke list?
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
honk honk shoooo

Based dev, lesbians les goooo
Now THAT is a good idea! I’ll make it checked by default as well.
Just stick a rainbow flag in the background somewhere. Apparently, that’s enough for this particular flavour of idiot.
Add the option to be trans and that should do it
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
Non binary player characters, woke as fuck.
Just add a checkbox that says “trans”, but does not do anything actually.
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

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