Alien for example is such a girlboss movie it would be lambasted as a woke parody these days. With its strong wahmen who is somehow the only one able to use her brain and evil penis monsters killing people with their ultra penis mouths.
The antagonist being a literal rape monster isn't woke unless you make it so - if sexual horror was automatically woke then the wokists would celebrate stuff like Goblin Slayer rather than condemning it. And I disagree with the "strong wahmen" criticism when the weakest link was also a woman.
Predator for another example is one of the most manly man movies ever full of nothing but hardcore action, but for some reason the Commie Guerilla gets to survive because she is the woman and we can't have real bad things to happen to her.
The woman gets to survive because she's not worth killing. Being an impotent bystander who survives because she wasn't even in the running isn't a feminist message.
And so it can be argued that it is. Which means the frog went from neutral to a hair above neutral by creating a situation in which the barometer is moved ever so slightly that way and our perceptions of reality adjusted for it.
You seem to have missed the point. In which that things that were not necessarily woke in any form are still part of the march towards that wokeness. Because wokeness didn't just spring from nowhere, it was built upon hundreds of little steps and foundational pieces.
Rape monsters unquestionably bad/evil, women being dainty "not worth killing" targets, and all of that are tiny little preconceived notions we have that are exploited to create the emotional manipulations and loopholes in our minds that the Wokeness springs from.
