usually, by "woke" movies people mean movies only made for the sake of being "woke", no? like its only message is "here's all the diversity, look, look, at our big woke diverse movie! now, give us the moneys we are so diverse look at us and don't bother us anymore with your agenda!"

Generally Republicans and Trumpists use "woke" to describe anything they don't like that seems to slightly swing liberal rather than anything specific.

Originally "woke" was slang in the black community meaning to understand the risks of being black in the world and basically was an equivalent of saying "drive safely!" or a Midwestern "watch for deer!" in wishing one a friendly goodbye

Woke == Haram. It's christian sharia law. You know, that thing conservatives have been fear mongering about for what like 20 years. Except want their version of it for real.
