To me, the whole thing with "woke" being used as a derogatory term is the same as conservatist folk calling XR, Last Generation and other activists "eco-terrorists".

Anarchists could be on that list. I grew up thinking anarchists were chaos demons trying to fuck shit up for fun. Turns out they're just people who actually have empathy and aren't greedy shitheads.

I've watched/played/read things I wouldn't have discovered if there hadn't been masses of people crying "woke" about them; there was a period where it was a really useful recommendation engine, because they'd be especially pissy if high quality stuff was woke. Unfortunately, that doesn't work as well anymore, because "woke" is increasingly meaningless
