I have a very good excuse for watching a Hollywood movie, I swear, pls no bully.
Anyway, regardless of the quality of the movie - a bit difficult to follow and somewhat romcommy (or romcommie according to some people here), it surprised me that there were no really overtly woke elements, and that woke was even mocked at some point.
Avoiding spoilers for something no one here is ever going to watch, the two woke-adjacent elements were a guy who appeared somewhat gay (other than that, no LGBTP crap), and a female character with surprising prowess in fights.
But also: even the 'good' female characters were presented as obsessive and self-centered and as the butt of jokes. And one of the bad female characters at one point cited "toxic masculinity" when she was caught and trying in vain to appeal to a fellow female to not side against her when she is clearly in the wrong.
So either movies are getting less woke or (more likely) this is a nice exception to the rule.
This reminds me of the recent Fallout conversation. The conversation around media has become how woke something is. I'm sure the movie has more subliminal wokeness because they are aiming for a more blockbuster conservative audience. But woke is still there. The zeitgeist of modern western civilization is woke so every product of it is somewhat woke.
Still it doesn't hurt it's anti-wokeness by giving Hollywood and it's culture a bit of a send-up.
The Fallout one was a little dumber, though. “It’s not woke, it just has a female lead in an action role, a black-white leading romance, and a scene where they rewrite all the lore so that the evil capitalists started the nuclear war for profit!”
If that’s non-woke, this is straight-up right-wing.
Not to mention literally every White male is either a retard, a cucked faggot, or evil.
