So for you, “woke” and “shit” are the same ? 🤔🙄🙄

I had to stop and think of a time. Something was woke but wasn’t shit. I couldn’t think of something, so yes.

Could you share what qualifies as “woke” for you?

A piece of media who pushes politics. The politics doesn’t belong in the media’s story and world. Like the creator(s) just added it in to push an message.

Before someone ask. Yes, Right wingers do this. But I mainly see the Left do this.

That’s a potentially interesting definition.

Dream Daddy, the daddy dating sim isn’t a woke game in this context because the conceit of it being an LGBT friendly town with a bunch of single gay dads makes it all make sense.

But a game set in 1300s Japan with a lesbian white protagonist would be woke because that seems incongruous?

The politics doesn’t belong in the media’s story and world. Like the creator(s) just added it in to push a message.

literally all of literature is created to push a message. who are you to say what “belongs” and what doesn’t? it’s their story.

Ever stop to wonder who decided that sexuality was “political”?

Sim City is a political game, because you’re the goddamn mayor.

Please explain to me how and why my genitals should have ANYTHING to do with politics.

Would you consider military operations in a foreign country a political theme?

Also do you think it’s okay for artists include a message in their work, even if it feels “pushed” to you? Maybe it feels essential to the creator, but since you disagree with the message it feels pushed to you.

Lmao, you clearly don’t deserve your avatar.

All the sci fi is majority woke and leftist, before we named things as “woke”. Tell me u don’t understand things without telling me 😂😂

You’d think, but there’s actually a pretty big subgenre for fascists in space.

1vs1000, im really shocked.

~~All~~ the sci fi is majority woke and leftist

Do you know the difference between a story who haves politics weaved into it, and a story who they just added to it without a care?

How that is fault of woke and not bad fucking writing?

If you add a bad character in the story without a care is fucking awful and what I gonna say may surprise you: their genitalia doesn’t fucking matter.

You lost my interest and I will not educate you 😂🙃

He need to watch some star trek to see some “woke” or Dune, one of the most powerful organization in the galaxy is just women, so “woke”, not even gonna say of the plot been about colonization, too much leftist wokerism on this series.

The day they will understand, they will got an hearth attack
