Horizon Zero Dawn is one of those games that people think is 'woke' because it has suppprting characters with dreadlocks and/or vaguely ethnic looking hair decorations. Try not to remind those same people the fact they are playing as an attractive caucasian redhead voiced by Ashly Birch.

There was really only a loud minority that fapped themselves silly over "muh women and dreadlocks". What people really enjoyed Horizon for was the actual game. A lot of people brushed past it because it wasn't an exclusive from an existing franchise or even that well known of a developer.

EDIT: Hell, even ridiculously "anti-SJW" channels like Rags (a guy with very 4chan views and a video list comprising of 99% "le console gamer pleb is stupid" videos) pointed out how Horizon wasn't special for having a female protagonist. People just enjoyed it because it's a good game, not everything is #deep.
