The wokeness stuff has been around basically forever in some form or another. (See people worshipping a golden calf in the Bible - prohibition in the US, Stalinism in Russia, etc)
The trend in cartoons started around the late 60s/early 70s as part of the hippie revolution. See Yogis Ark, the relaunch of Tom and Jerry as great friends. Watch the first Electric Company episode and see how its writing is right out of todays wokeness playbooks.
If anything the difference between then (the 70s) and today is the complete disconnect from reality and rational thought which is part and parcel of typical communist movements. The point is to destroy the known so that you can’t make moral decisions yourself but must rely upon “the elite” to tell you what to think.
