If woke means "poorly written and pandering to the left" this is accurate on all fronts except Rage, which is awesome.

Woke means to be aware of the fact that there are systematic injustices, and the need to address them.
Don't let evil men take the word away from us. Stay woke, y'all.
Little babies getting their feelings hurt. If only they could read and understand that woke is a form of being awake/aware and their self owns by making fun of it is blatantly hilarious. Only the media and the right get all up in arms over woke, the rest of us just call it reality.
Imagine that you're awake, with your eyes open, aware of the issues in the world, and wanting to be part of making it better, and...
...there's a massive number of people who think you're a shithead for believing that, and should probably be murdered for it. Just do what they tell you.
Woke has become one of my favourite words. It's like when i was a kid, and everything was gay. Now it's woke. He's playing street fighters one woke controls. And same with the word gay, and how it was used, it was always funny when someone used it as an actual insult and you're just like: oh yeah, i actually don't care. Guess i'm woke then.
Fuck you, I won't do whatcha tell me!
I always wondered if the people who commonly are depicted as the bad guys in movies ever just don't go to movies because they hate being depicted as evil, but it turns out they just didn't actually pay any attention to the movies to have noticed the bad guys are basically them.
"No, what I'm doing is different!"
Conservatives are scared of literally everything.
It must be exhausting to be such pussies.
Actually woke is good now because they “defeated” it so now it’s counterculture and therefore cool to be woke again. I don’t make the rules.
Man, why cant anything be FOR the systems of oppression that prop up my fragile masculinity?
Seriously! I started listening to Rage Against the Machine specifically because they had songs like “Thank you, I’ll always do what you tell me” and “Wake Up (to the genocidal leftist conspiracy)”. This whole 180 they’ve made has been devastating.
I guess The Shining was anti-woke since the only person to die (other than Jack) was the black guy.
All woke and no play makes Jack a dull boy
I reckon there is right wing propaganda to normalise vitriol and de-empathise the public to pave the way for full fascism. Many of these accounts complaining about supposed wokeness are probably bots.

Hollywood didn’t go “woke” you just grew up to be a piece of shit.
but is it really shit if it makes a stockholder a lot of money? /s
I just watched Alien (1979) and the damn democraps made it woke. When I was growing up in the 80's not everything had to be a social commentary. The cops saved people like in Robocop (1987) and the terrorists were stopped like in Star Wars (1977) because America are the good guys. MAGA!!
I'm shocked to learn that the band that wrote Wake Up might possibly be woke!
Rage against the machine became woke? They were über woke before it was a thing.
That's the joke I guess?
