Next they'll be complaining that Christianity's gone 'woke'.
Sorry, you're too late. As usual, conservatives are already more awful than you expect.

Moore told NPR in an interview released Tuesday that multiple pastors had told him they would quote the Sermon on the Mount, specifically the part that says to “turn the other cheek,” when preaching. Someone would come up after the service and ask, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?”
“What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,’” Moore said. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”
If they think Christ is too weak and his words outdated, then maybe they should stop calling themselves Christians?
Satire is dead.
It would be a boring movie if the protagonist were asleep all the time.
Movies and TV shows are modern art forms, and as such are created by artists.
Artists have almost always been politically left of centre, usually wildly so.
Video games have likewise been ‘woke’ for a long fucking time too - but don’t you dare try to make that point to Gamers^TM^.
Uhh... aside from superman (which i haven't seen and can't speak to) most of those are fairly "woke"
Not that I have a problem with that.
The point is that they've always been 'woke', and it's insane that people think that 'now' they've changed to 'become' woke.
I thought when they said “Wake Up!” they were actually saying “Be passive! The status quo is totally fine!”
I liked RATM, but then they became political. No thank you.
I liked Motörhead but they also became political like 4 songs into their first album

Superman is woke because he just helps people and doesn't charge a fee.
Sounds like socialism to me. Are you saying Superman is a Commie?
Probably nowhere near as bad as that hippy freak, what was his name... "Jesus"?

X-Men: always been an allegory for LGBTQ+ and disabled folks

Well yeah, they're all woke now. They used to be woke before too, but they're still woke now as well, as they should.

If by "woke" you mean scientific intelligence, reason, truth, honour and compassion, then I'm all for it.

Imagine that you're awake, with your eyes open, aware of the issues in the world, and wanting to be part of making it better, and...
...there's a massive number of people who think you're a shithead for believing that, and should probably be murdered for it. Just do what they tell you.

Rage against the machine became woke? They were über woke before it was a thing.
That's the joke I guess?

Conservatives are scared of literally everything.
It must be exhausting to be such pussies.
Equally exhausting to live in a world where those pussies make all the fucking rules.
They can’t grasp that these things have not changed, but they joined the bad guys so their perspectives changed. They can’t see the billionaires gilded puppet strings manipulating them.

Except Starship Troopers, that movie is taken at face value. Would you like to know more?
