TopicI think both "woke" and "anti-woke" have gone too far.

I think too many things are labeled as woke tbh, being accepting of gay people is not woke, being accepting of Trans people is not woke, wanting to silence comedians is woke, wanting to get rid of "offensive" movies/music/whatever is woke.

You're welcome to think that, but you're going to find that you have difficulty communicating on the matter if you use that definition because it doesn't line up very well with how everyone else is using the word. When things are called "woke," it's overwhelmingly because they include diversity or are otherwise more politically correct than the speaker wants them to be, usually with little regard for whether or not it's a genuine example of tokenism making for a less enjoyable piece of media. Attempting to censor offensive content can fall under that umbrella, but it's a very small piece of the overall picture and isn't nearly as common as the anti-PC pearl clutchers like to think it is (outside of stuff that's offensive for the sake of being malicious, in which case it's not being called out for being offensive, it's called out for being malicious).
