I read a review that said the show was "too woke". I haven't seen anything that's woke except that a non-binary character exists and is referred to as "them", and the shopkeepers in Filly seem to be lesbians but it's not explicitly stated. It's annoying seeing the word "woke" but it's also kind of nice that it's easy to spot the dipshits. Anyone using the word "woke" probably sucks big time.
i’m pretty sure the subtext of “woke” is “there are women and non-white people here”
same with “dei,” i suppose - all goes back to not liking women and poc 🙃
Or that the women in it aren't explicitly tailored to their tastes. There's a post going around some places about someone trying to "correct" the image of one of the characters to make them less "woke" (they were wearing a baggy jumpsuit). The resulting character's back-end looks like it's been plastiform sealed.
i had forgotten all about Alloy and…was it Lara Croft?…and people “correcting” their appearances, good point!
