A term originally coined by the Black community, that in previous years was used to describe being aware of and understanding the unfair treatment of the working class as perpetuated by oligarchs and other elites, but that is now moreso just used as a scapegoat word for conservatives and other ignorant people to hide their utter lack of empathy. Nowadays, words such as woke and wokeness are almost exclusively used by chuds and politicans as a proxy to perpetuate the ongoing culture war in America, while simultaneously turning a blind eye to those who have been effectively raped by society.
The term gradually changed hands from the american Left to the Right sometime during/after Trump's presidency when conservatives unanimously conspired to steal the term and corrupt it to serve their own purposes. (Much in the same way that white people in decades past have co-opted many other various things from black culture, such as e.g. music genres like Rock/Jazz/Blues/Funk, slang and vernacular, fashion styles, or erasing black contributions to arts & sciences.)
In truth, the word 'woke' has no real meaning. (as of the date of this post).

Person A: "I'm tired of tolerating all this woke virtue-signaling going on today."
Person B: "So what's 'woke' about it?"
Person A: "Well... there's like--*begins absent-mindedly rattling off a list of random minor things liberals do that annoys them*"
Person B: "Hmm, interesting. Can you actually define what the term 'woke' means?"
Person A: "Ummm...... it's when you...... it's when.... like, when people--..... uhh, blue hair, or... something...?"
Person B: "Yeah, didn't think so."

Christina is always wokemaxing. She has made her entire life about being woke. Why is she always trying to be so woke and pushes us to be more woke like her.

Get the Woke mug.A person who can’t stop signaling their moral awareness about scandals, conspiracies, political wrongdoing, or social issues without actually doing anything productive. Obsessed with showing how “in the know,” they often recycle the same outrage endlessly, whether it’s Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, or government corruption.
“Dude’s been posting about Epstein nonstop for three years — total Wokeaphile energy.”
“She won’t shut up about every Weinstein accusation and celebrity scandal — pure Wokeaphile behavior.”
“He spends all day tweeting about politicians lying and shady policies — classic Wokeaphile move.”

Get the Wokeaphile mug.In the world of gaming and other media such as movies, this word represents a set of characteristics that spotlights identity and identity politics as a primary focus rather than being a natural occurrence normally found in an existing work, IP, or even real life society.
Characteristics such as Mary Sue characters, race swapping, and gender swapping; over-representing and over-focusing on minorities and characters based on sexual preference; purposefully degrading beauty as an attempt to normalize a new standard; purposefully taking white male characters and putting them in positions where they come across as ignorant, stupid, damaged, or incapable, or only depicting them in power roles as the villain in comparison to others as a means to further elevate and spotlight "diverse" characters; purposefully putting men in support roles while women are depicted in physical roles; having a very vast majority of women in leadership roles; and the demeaning and marginalizing of hetero-normative characters.
These characteristics have in turn created pattern recognition which has done more damage to women, minorities, and the lgbtq community who now become associated with poor story writing and shallow characters due to a focus on virtue signaling over substance.

If Dragon Age the Veilguard had been created with a focus on the original style and history of the previous games over woke ideology, the game most likely would have gotten a much better reception.
