Whereas movies that actually push the Window of acceptable and Woke shit don't even get mentioned (because we are talking about the same movie from over a year ago) despite them also being seen by countless people without any discussion or warning about them.

That's actually a good point, and feeds into the reality of the situation: many movies over many years have actually been woke, it's just that most people didn't recognise it until recently.

As some others pointed out in separate threads, the woke invasion has been going on quite predominantly in Hollywood since the 1960s, and going back and re-watching many classic films does reveal this. It feeds into the point about the Overton Windows consistently moving Left, and the less egregious forms of it being acceptable because it's become so normalised.

These days if you see a secondary female character beating up three men twice her size, almost no one bats an eye. Why? Because it's become so normalised people just accept it these days, and that's because it's been programmed into people's minds that that's just how "badass" female characters are in entertainment. It's been pushed for so long that people just think it's normal. I referenced Lethal Weapon 3 sort of being the mainstream catalyst for this way back in the day, where females around that time -- even in secondary roles -- were being depicted as competent if not more competent than their male peers. Since then it's just become a standardised trope, and most people have accepted that that's just how it is because it's practically in all of action media since then (excluding B-movies and niche films).
