What We Think

FIFA 17 is as non-woke as modern games get. It keeps its focus squarely on the sport, steering clear of overt political or ideological themes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

FIFA 17 focuses almost entirely on the sport of soccer, with its story mode reflecting a fairly straightforward rags-to-riches sports narrative. Identity themes are present only via the protagonist’s background, but there is no overt emphasis on ideology over gameplay or skill.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is virtually no commentary on religion, family, morality, or gender roles. The game is about soccer, plain and simple, and does not try to undermine any traditional values or cultural motifs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While FIFA 17 features a diverse cast, it doesn’t villainize traditional worldviews nor does it push an explicit ideological agenda. The game's universe is focused on athletic competition, avoiding heavy-handed moral messaging.
