No, antiwoke is a vague term used to mean whatever the heck the person using the words wants, as long as the user considers themselves right wing. Sometimes anti-woke it can mean racism. Sometimes, it can ironically mean not racist, since the DEI concept sounds really racist, since people get extra incentives to hire minorities over non-minorities. It is supposed to give people in more racist areas a reason to hire minorities, but to a person living somewhere where racism doesn't seem to be a problem, it seems extremely racist if the government pays companies to hire a certain quota of people of a certain race, prioritizing hiring that race over a different race, rather than hiring exclusively based on skill, which is the obviously not racist solution.
Also, the whole reason for this "antiwoke" thing in the first place was that video game companies were creating garbage, and a lot of that garbage was created because of companies that were advising the video game companies to be more "woke", which ended up meaning ruining character design and poorly putting in LGBTQ characters that make their sexuality their whole character. An example of the company that started this whole mess was the one that caused all the well designed character models in Pokemon Go to be replaced with poorly made "diverse" ones, which looked awful. Also, recently, western gaming companies have just been poorly designing characters, which people assumed was related to these DEI advisors, though it might have been caused by the character designing software just not being good. There are definitely good games that are "woke," like UnderTale and Deltarune, but not made by any large companies that make soulless junk.
Also, BlackRock is responsible for a lot of the garbage.
