My rule of thumb these days is that ALL popular media (books, movies, video games, etc.) are woke in some form or another.

Assume woke until proven otherwise- and realize that woke can be Marxist ideology, not merely woman-with-shaven-head-bosses-men-around.

That us also a forwarding the marxist agenda. It is an inversion of previously established norms and heirarchy.

Good rule of thumb. Mine is to generally avoid shows or books made after 2014. Unless someone I trust recommends it.

What else encompasses cultural marxism besides forcing peope to use the correct pronouns and the like?

Well, for example, any time "religious" (which in the West always means "Christian") people are depicted, they're either knuckle-dragging simpletons or oppressive bigots. "Religious fanatics" are common villains in modern media.

Or the fact that white men are always the "fools" in TV shows (unless they're beefcakes meant to entice female viewers) and only their longsuffering wives prevent these dolts from accidentally blowing up their home and such.

This stuff goes back decades, it's only becoming really obvious now because "the long walk through the institutions" is complete. My point was that many people sleep on more subversive and subtle forms of "wokeism".

Thanks for the examples, I just wanted a more clear cut definition of that because whenever I call someone or thing a marxist, confused leftists will respond asking if they're seizing the means of production for the people.

Ultimately, Marxism is the doctrine of eternal revolution. The economics is just the facade for the real agenda: split people into groups, get those groups to fight each other, and then take over once the culture has devolved into chaos.

It's cultural Marxism. Another term is Critical Theory, named after the Frankfurt School that taught that society has been secretly oppressing people for centuries and only through deconstruction of said society can "the people" be "free".
