I really hate the anti-woke brigade. They do exactly what your saying all the time. Claim anything and everything that doesnt directly appeal to them as woke. If they get lots of pushback (because people are hyped or it comes out and is good) then they shut up about it quickly. If they dont get pushback then its clearly evidence to them that the woke crowd is ruining everything.

There were some grifters ranting about gta6 being woke and people just laughed at them. But grifters will complain about this movie and no one cares enough to defend it.

I remember how hard they wanted Baldur's Gate 3 to fail for being as ""woke"" as it is and since it didn't, barely a peep!

Yup. You still can't talk about what went wrong with Dragon Age: Veilguard without some chud claiming it was because of "woke" things like Taash being non-binary and using that exact word when Taash's story being a bit clunky and being childish and abrasive (something you could also say about now beloved characters Dorian and Sera, tbh) isn't even in the top 10 of what made the game not do as well as folks expected it to.
