    That probably has contributed, but I remember people complaining about woke media by any other name 10 years ago. A lot. Who’s criticising Andor for being woke?

    I see this article title:

    “Andor is refreshingly non-woke content from Disney”

    Umm… did they watch the same show I did? The one with the lesbians, people of colour, and women giving orders to men?

      Uh, they are complaining that Andor is woke

      If someone says something is “woke” at this point you can pretty much safely disregard them as utter shitheads

        I haven’t found anyone complaining Andor is woke from a quick google search. I’m sure there are some people saying that but it’s really nothing compared to other media being accused of being woke. People who use the term woke this way somehow can’t reconcile diversity with intelligent writing.

        Well yeah, that can go without saying lol.

          I think the algos may be lying to you. A quick search on my end lands tons of results, including a classic neckbeard diatribe

            [what you linked was]* 2.6k views only. I search youtube for “woke star wars” and I see acolyte, acolyte, star wars, acolyte, disney; all with 10x or 100x the views. if these videos mention andor they’re not putting it front and center that’s for sure.

            Edit: I’ve also been watching The Pitt, a refreshingly sharp medical drama; it’s got an extremely diverse cast, with gay and trans characters, and people of colour; the head of the hospital is black – I literally can’t find one article online about it with the word “woke.”
