No one calls Stellar Blade woke, while it has one of the most badass woman in modern gaming (the game's not even out yet, but the bar is so low it's not hard at all). In fact, the woke-crowd is the one trying to get this game cancelled, while the anti-woke crowd is like "Please port to PC too".
What is woke is not having one random black guy or a woman, it's having the exact same black guy stereotype (with that haircut), or the man-jaw "strong and independent" woman. Or it's having people of a completely difference place in a setting where they don't belong at all, and without any explanation. (like having black European medieval knights or black Japanese samurai)
Don’t forget over representation of certain populations. Or ignoring the audience. I’m a life long comic book collector and for whatever reason women are just not interested but apparently they need to be catered to nonstop. I love period pieces normally but now they feel the need to be diverse and it takes you out of the show. If I was watching a mini series about an ancient African kingdom I would find it odd to see a bunch of white people in the show. Same with the other way around
