Well yeah, because "political correctness" is a social construct, no some objective, empirical truth. I'm not sure what you're arguing with me about.
"Woke' is too much of a loaded word, and the literal meaning of 'woke' is different from politically correct, it's a mutated word. It's not the same anymore."
I'm sorry, but I have to ask are you a younger person (under 25)? I can assure you "woke" would almost certainly been used to describe the shows I mentioned. I remember the "anti-wokesters" basically making the same complaints back then about "Brokeback Mountain" ("Oh man Hollywood is shoving their gay agenda down my throat!")
Woke is a word that's been overused in recent years.
The Op should have called the thread what's the most politically correct film you've saw rather than 'woke'. Although they have a similar meanings, woke also means woke, as in waking up.
Well yeah, because right wing politicians and pundits have found a new boogeyman to attack. And by "new" I mean a repackaged boogeyman they've been going after for decades.
"The Op should have called the thread what's the most politically correct film you've saw rather than 'woke'."
Again, "woke" would almost certainly been used to describe LGBT media back then if the term existed.
"Although they have a similar meanings, woke also means woke, as in waking up."
There's perhaps some slight differences, but those differences appear to be trivial. Do you think it's a coincidence people who throw around the term "woke" also throw around PC, SJW, feminazi, etc? These are all terms that seem to have a lot of overalappage in their usage.
