Being woke just means being aware of societal injustice. Martin Luther King Jr. was extremely woke. Malcom X was extremely woke. Slavery abolitionists were extremely woke. Women's Suffragists were extremely woke. Gay Marriage advocates are extremely woke.

If you even perceive being woke as negative, you hold regressive views on advocacy for civil rights. The fight for civil rights is far from over, if it even can end.

If you see a black person say that systematic racism still exists, and you get reflexively angry at that black person, ask yourself: Why are you so mad? Don't you want systemic racism to end? Why not listen to people from marginalized communities and take them at their word?

Don't be a man-child who gets upset at people who advocate for a better world.

True. Lotta internalized misogyny out there.
The loudest ones do tend to be men though.

Conservatives have been co-opting terms like this forever in order blur the definition to strip any power the original meaning had. It's like how everything they don't like is communism/socialism. It doesn't matter if it's true just that people know it means "bad". Now the term has been so poisoned that you can't use it for its intended purpose anymore. CRT was another one they jumped on quickly.

I was generalizing. It's mostly men who do this. Furthermore, men hold disproportionate power in society and thus need to be held accountable more.

To republicans, woke is anything short of "<Insert marginalized group> should get over their rights being trampled for generations because pointing it out hurts my feelings."

Also, it's good to include diverse characters in media because real people are diverse, and people of all ethnicities and gender identities should have representation. Fiction should reflect reality, not pander to cishet white men who get pissed when minorities appear in media.
