Nearly ten years ago I said this is what would become the standard -- the new and pervasive way to inculcate the masses with Marxism.
The award institutions like BAAFTA/Academy Awards have forced it so that you have to have woke material in the movie to even be considered for nomination (same thing with games).
This means that whether you're a based writer/director or not, the studio is not going to pass up a nomination opportunity to sate your auteur sensibilities. They know that adding a tagline to a film trailer "From the Academy-nominated/winning...." adds legitimacy to the movie, director, actor, etc.
What they've done is create a hierarchy of woke that cannot be bypassed for any studio that wants in on awards-considerations, and I don't know of a studio that doesn't want that recognition for marketing purposes? So everything downstream executive decisions -- whether the execs are woke or greedy -- will end up being affected by woke regardless.
Worse yet, is that as you stated -- every normie will eat this up because [insert favourite actor/director/brand/franchise/etc. here] is being released and they have to go see it, even though the trailer is rife with tells that it's been compromised with the woke virus.
Woke will not only become the standard of all media going forward, but every other normie out there will be defending it because -- as you said -- they've been trained with a Pavlovian response to think woke is good.
