I thought wokescolding was invented during the protestant reformation.

Why would you do medical testing on a robot that doesn't have blood or organs? And why would it be a super-hacker?

Side thing: Why does the robot act like a little girl? Is it a cynical programming to make her an appealing product? No, I don't think cyberwarfare barefooted child robots are a consumer product.
My understanding is the game's story isn't really that deep or philosophical, so I'll do its own work for it. The android actually is a little girl; this is how you properly align an AGI, base it on human neural architecture and make it live life as a human. After X amount of time in an infant chassis, swap it to a cute little girl chassis, eventually give it an adult body. Then you've got a "Digital Native" artificial mind that can intuitively manipulate and hack technology while also identifying with and liking humans.
Kinda like in that shitty film The Creator.

The baby you carry in the game is actually a girl.
But the baby Madds is talking to in the 3-hour-cutscenes is his son, you, the Norman Reedus.

If anything, the Pragmata "controversy" is an example of seeing the fake and gay culture war strings getting yanked in real time, or whatever metaphor you want, something something outrage farming, something something grifting. People say intentionally-outrageous things to get clicks, regardless of if it furthers their own stated ideological goals or even their reputation, because clicks are the sole aim.
This controversy has two elements to it: the pedo thing and the pro-family thing.
The pedo thing is just a cost of making anything with children in it, sorta like how anything anthro unfortunately attracts furries. Yes, they made the little girl very pretty. The bare legs/feet makes for a distinctive silhouette, but that also draws attention to her physicality. (Apparently pedos are really into feet, legs, and specifically the backs of knees, but that's precisely because those are parts of children's bodies that are typically exposed to view). Getting up in arms about accusing it of being a pedo game is someone actively trying to create generic moral panic outrage when there isn't any. If I run into someone in real life who goes off on an unprompted rant about how gamers are pedos and Pragmata is Incel Pedo Gamergate Misogyny Racism, I'll update my opinion and be disappointed.
The other element is a Hassan Piker line about how gamers (a lot of his audience and periphery audience, the guy is on Twitch) are pathetic losers something something. It's just outrage bait from an outrage baiter, what's annoying is that this naked-outrage-baiter hyperconsumerist grifting socialist gay-baiting himbo nepo-e-celeb gets fawned over and glazed by the NYT.
Socialists/Marxists shitting on the concept of the nuclear family isnt a good look for them, it annoys normies and sane people. Reminding normies that abolishing the family is technically on the Marxist platform is bad tactics when socialism is supposed to just mean "the government does nice things."

The impression I have of fascist vs communist regimes is that unless you're a Jew or equivalent designated enemy category, the fascists will be satisfied with your lack of dissent, mostly you just don't get promoted over Party Members. Communist regimes extort ideological compliance out of the populace and expect you to, well, Signal your Virtue.
I'm sure there are all manner of counter-examoles from both directions, of course. "Regime" isn't a word with positive connotations.

I don't think there's much of a connection between the dissent-suppression of communist regimes and the dissent-suppression of leftist wokescolding. The latter has more in common with busybody church folk, and bitchy high-schoolers of whatever gender. That they both use Marxist gobbledygook is...a coincidence? A historical artifact? Orthogonal? One of those.

Because a conservative woman who isn't already married is a "Pick Me!" who's after hotter guys than me.
Because I don't want to listen to Jesus talk any more than I want to listen to BLM ACAB LGBTQ et cetera talk.
Because I no longer use online dating after going through a summer where 95% of my arranged dates flaked or ghosted me the day of the date, and this included the people I'd met IRL, and the only ones who turned up were obese or had all the personality of wet styrofoam.

No, you do not, not in this case. It doesn't particularly stand out as anything other than proof to them that so many men are racist fascist orange man supporters.
Also, apparently listing "moderate" or "not political" are also regarded by women as proof of being a sexist racist transphobic bad person.
As in, made up?
I don't think normie westerners think in terms of things being "satanic" or not. Do you mean in the actual IRL church-of-satan sense, or the Satanic Panic sense? Or do you mean bizzarro-verse inverse Christian values?
Either way, all the satanic iconography and tropes are basically fanfiction.

I'm my area, the women demand that you are also a leftist and/or communist. Sometimes every single Hinge prompt in their profile is something political.

I really only use it for a second opinion on homebrew RPG mechanics, and I noticed just these past two weeks it's much less coherent; it will imagine nits to pick and can't keep straight if something is positive or negative. I'm happy to just stop using it, frankly.
Well, the pedos did factually come out of the woodwork for this game.
