Anything that is even mildly progressive that the American right doesn't like.
Examples:
Disney - Had a LGBT background character a few times.
Bud Light - Sponsored a trans woman once.
Target - Had pride merch in June once again just like every year, but it was only this year that conservatives made a fuss about it.
M&Ms - Temporarily changed the design of the green M&M as a marketing stunt in order to distract from their allegations of child slavery.

"You know that N&Ms has been accused of child slavery? That this is all just a distraction?"

While most of the youth use this term to describe someone who is cool and “dripped out”, I use it in a different sense. Personally, I use it to describe someone who is aware of the world. For example, if someone is knowledgeable on climate change or racial/social issues and is aware that these issues are indeed issues, they would be considered woke.
Jesse Pinkman: Who is more woke: that bitch ass chimpmunk Alvin or Zendaya?
Walter White: Most likely Zendaya. She is a real person and has experienced real discrimination.
Jesse Pinkman: But, Yo! He’s a chipmunk! Wouldn’t he be discriminated against?
Walter White: I don’t know Jesse, let’s get back to work.
Jesse Pinkman: Come on, Mr. White, can we have some fun? You’re like so old dude!

A woke activist. Someone who is so progressive and is obnoxious in their extreme social justice beliefs as it pertains to leftist ideologies.
They will continue to "educate" you about how others' beliefs and opinions need to change to "progress humanity forwards". Which means that anybody elses points of views/opinions are unacceptable forms of hate speech if they don't align with their ideologies...aka extreme left-wing.
