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?
