To me, woke is when identity politics issues are intentionally inserted into a piece of media not to improve the quality of the story, but to push the creators political opinions. Even when I agree with them it annoys me, because it takes me out of the story and makes me feel like I'm being preached too or I'm consuming propaganda.
Disclaimer, I don't watch star trek. I found this post browsing c/all
So gay characters should only be in media to tell stories about gay people problems? Is that how you think the real world works, like a gay person never accomplished anything other than progressing the gay agenda. Why can't there just be a story of a man who does a thing and then goes home to his husband. You know, like how real life works lol.
Well that's not what it means. It means being aware of and opposed to systemic injustices in our society, that's all it means.
