A term initially used to describe those with progressive views of being "aware" of social injustices, and inequalities, but has now evolved into a pejorative term to mock the kind of "progressive" people who are often described as self deprecating obese women with blue hair and like to dictate who is oppressed and who is not.
Woke people are dumb as shit and never have a logical or rational argument. Basically everything they say is from emotion.

Get the Woke mug.A term that originated in black communities; a AAVE (African American Vernacular Enlgish) slang for being aware of the social injustices around oneself.
During and after the Black Lives Matter movement, the term has been thrown around and its original meaning lost, as the negative perception of the BLM movement + new media and content that makes an effort to be inclusive, affects the general interpretation of the word.
Now, its often seen being used to describe a person/entity of trying too hard to show diversity and be inclusive, for the pure sake of crowd pleasing.
The people who use this word with a negative connotation tend to be right-wing/conservative in their political beliefs; the majority being White. The people who use "woke" with its original meaning intended, tend to be left-wing/liberal in their political beliefs; which most groups tend to be ethnically and religiously diverse.
Notes: Younger generations seem to use it in a positive sense, older generations tend to apply negative connotations. "Younger" generations are now stepping up and into positions of power and authority: becoming politicians, educators, and creating new movies and media. both generations are seeing normalized sexualization, racism, misogyny, etc being filtered out, and feel different ways about them.

However the actual definition of this word was given when it was first actually used by Ron Desantis' lawyer and the actual definition he gave as to what a woke person is is this: A person who believes that there are systemic inequalities in our societies that need to be addressed.

Get the Woke mug.the ironic state of being so hopelessly indoctrinated by the mainstream PC culture of being aggressively anti-establishment, individualistic, tolerant, and overtly aware of every marginalized social demographic that you march in lockstep with the establishment that promotes these false virtues by encouraging you to shed any remnant of individual thought or expression that does not align with the establishment's prescribed virtues, refuse to tolerate any deviation from those virtues in yourself or others, and marginalize others by reducing everyone to nothing more than a collection of immutable traits such as race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Hey! Did you see Marla's new frog/froggy pronouns? Frog identifies as frog after frog saw a 60 minutes exposé about gay, black, female republicans having internalized racist, misogynist tendencies because all gays, blacks, and women are supposed to be democrats. Frog then realized that as a white person frog wasn't oppressed enough to have a valid point of view which made frog sad and want a bath. Then frog realized frog like being in water as much as frog liked being out of the water just like a frog, so frog must be frog! Afterwards, Frog got a promotion at work for being so woke!
