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.

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.

All work and no play makes Hulk an angry green man.

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 thought when they said “Wake Up!” they were actually saying “Be passive! The status quo is totally fine!”

Rips off Reagan's Star Wars scam, rename it and call the movies it was named after woke. Is that irony? It's stupid for sure.

Movies and TV shows are modern art forms, and as such are created by artists.

Artists have almost always been politically left of centre, usually wildly so.

Video games have likewise been ‘woke’ for a long fucking time too - but don’t you dare try to make that point to Gamers^TM^.

It's funny cuz it's woke

It is most as if the ground state of being is Awake.

Who would have thunk it!?

I have never seen doctor who. What I know really doesn't speak to me, it seems too "random new being is the answer" to me. No hate against the show. I mean, I am fairly certain that I am basically complaining that a romance book is romantic.

That being said, doctor who seems to be quite obviously saying, be maximally tolerant and fight the tyrants and intolerant. which seems woke at this point.

When I was a child, we called it, not being a dick, but I guess it is woke now.
