Are there Any Woke Properties that you Unironically Enjoy?

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I have a stricter definition of Woke than a lot of Kiwis, so there's not really that much Woke stuff I liked.

I actually liked Life Is Strange, or at least I did from watching people on YouTube play it. I still hated Chloe and wished Max wasn't the MC.

I used to like Degrassi. Now I'm sure I'd hate it, aside from a few characters and episodes, because it's just prog propaganda and was never that good to begin with. It's proto-Woke.
I really liked Get Out and Red State. Those are about as woke as you get. I don't know if Disco Elysium would be considered woke but it was a masterpiece. Sure it was made by filthy communists but it attacked pretty much all sociopolitical ideologies.
The message of Get Out, which I completely agree with, is that affluent white liberals are body stealing demons and you must kill the evil with fire.
 
I really liked For All Mankind. It doesn't focus on any real woke agenda overall, but instead on how space is fucking dangerous. I'm kind of glad it ended at three seasons. Not sure where they would have gone after. The alternate timeline brought about by losing the space race was intriguing to me. And the fact that the Gay astronaut's work partner was more pissed about simply never being told despite being best friends for a decade rings true to me.
 
There's a painfully woke musician I have a huge soft spot for. The red flags are vibrant: a rapper from the Bay Area, studied at Wesleyan, but I like the comfy vocals, artfag production, and poetic writing. Below are a soulful jazz ACAB number from 2017 and a 2013 live that shows his goofy smiling yawn delivery and technically complex rhymes, I just find it really cozy even when he's hating on whitey.

 
Iain M. Banks was an irredeemable leftist even during his time and his works would probably be classified as "woke" today. But the Culture series is actually pretty great for the most part specifically because he doesn't moralize all the time, and when he does it's in a sufficiently alien context to avoid being too on-the-nose, like when he gets on a soapbox talking about equality between an alien species' three sexes in Player of Games.

I think black panther was aight. The world building and the villain was cool and it didn't shy away from showing just how shitty wakanda is, something a lot off people(both fans and haters) always seem to forget for some reason.
This. It was a fun movie and Black Panther was than better than every Phase 4 movie combined.

Sure there were a few "WYPIPO" moments in it but generally was good time. Not the best movie of all time but it had it's good moments and had a pretty memorable cast which I didn't expect for that movie.

Yeah the underlying issues of Wakanda's strength being showcased were cool. It's a real shame Chadwick passed, because I could easily see a sequel showing T'Challa travelling to other lands/kingdoms to offer help.

I like how the hero gets help from a glowie to put down a nationalist movement.

It's not over, it's been renewed for a fourth season, which I'm very happy about as it's my absolute favourite show on TV, despite the creeping woke bullshit. Hell, I'll keep watching it even if the final season ends with 120 year old Ed Baldwin commanding the first manned flight to Alpha Centauri with his all-tranny crew.

Yes, quite a few, provided that they're actually good. Which is rare when something is extremely woke. Good example is Disco Elysium. Great game, and oddly enough despite some of the creators being commies, it criticizes communism heavily. The person even responsible for the murder you're investigating is a crazy commie who murdered an innocent man; due to being jealous of the fact he was fucking the object of his obsession.

They're surprisingly happy to criticize themselves and communism. Mind you, they also criticize everyone else, but communism gets the most flack in the game. Familiarity breeds contempt I guess.

There is also a hole in reality that was created by the commies killing literally billions of people, and it's slowly destroying the universe. I have never seen communists hate communism this much before, and I respect it.

Final Cut would've been my game of the year if it wasn't for everything else that year. Truly an immaculate Western RPG.

Disco Elysium is great, because a major point of the ideologies is that 'mentally unstable people latch on to ideologies so they can ignore their own issues'.
For context, the ideologies are Moralism (Neoliberal centrism), Communism (KILL EVERYONE WITH MORE THAT 25 BUCKS IN THEIR POCKETS), Ultraliberalism (Anarcho-Capitalism), and Fascism (reject modernity, go back to the monarchy). The Detective can adopt one (or multiple) of these ideologies.

-Moralism turns you into a Karen who blindly trusts in 'The System' because it's the only thing that makes sense in their life. Someone has to take responsibility (but not the PC!). As an ideology, Moralism's 'incremental progress' doesn't amount to anything, and only just keeps things exactly the same without any real changes or improvements.

-Communism turns you into an insufferable jackass who can't go five minutes without screaming about how capitalism fucked him over, and how you're the Last Communist who will build True Communism. As an ideology, Communism dresses up in feel-good slogans, but quickly reveals itself as a murderously fanatical death cult that believes that utopia can be achieved by killing enough people.

-Fascism turns you into a bitter reactionary obsessed with the 'Good Old Days', who can only look back and rant about how 'They' ruined the city. As an ideology, it's an incoherent mess based on strength, gut feelings, and prejudice.

-Ultraliberalism turns you into a hustler who doesn't even care about politics, and instead is obsessed with making money. And if you don't make money, it's because The Government is secretly taxing you. As an ideology, it's shallow and superficial, based around making it out for you self and ignoring everything else.
 
Don’t know if it counts because the only “woke” thing about them is that they’re fags but I enjoy comics with Midnighter and Apollo.

They’re a Batman/Superman knockoff who’re gay…….and they’re actually good characters and probably the only couple like that in comics that isn’t cringe.

Whether it’s in the Authority, Stormwatch, their own comic or in the pages of Superman, I enjoy these two characters.

Midnighter in particular is awesome.
 
I was into Studio Killers earlier work as a dumb teenager and even then I thought they went really hard on being obnoxiously gay and man-hating. I still think All Men Are Pigs and Jenny are pretty catchy and can be enjoyed today if you shut your brain off. The same can be said for Tame Impala's song Cause I'm a Man, which is meant to be sarcastic and quote "ruffle some feathers" (although I'll admit they weren't clear on the meaning of the song when interviewed about it, but it's pretty obvious if you listen to the song).

Thom Yorke is another artist I like, despite being a political activist on top of that (climate alarmist, vegetarian to own the meat industry, released a song criticizing Trump, etc.) and it shows in his work if you pay attention. That isn't too much of a surprise coming from someone that worked on Radiohead, but I think his shit is good regardless. I'm really into how he blends a good beat with a melancholic and artsy feeling. It really reminds me of some of Gorillaz's tracks when they try to do the same thing, but angstier.
 
I enjoyed Sense8. It had an interesting premise, great action, and it was entertainingly suspenseful.

Of course, considering that it's a modern day Wachowski's show, they had to cram trannies and homosexuals in there. But even then, the characters were well written and still managed to be not terrible.

It's a shame they had to end it prematurely. The final ending was fucking awful because they had to wrap it all up in like one or two episodes.

They basically broke the secret of the magical spirit linked octuplets to all the normie characters, defeated all the bad guys, and then it ended in some huge, gay orgy between all the characters. I'm really not kidding about that last part either.
 
This one's obscure, but Practical Guide to Evil. It had some great worldbuilding, except for the fact that only the elves were suffering a population crisis when there were twice as many gay couples as straight.

A lot of people told me told me the most recent Pathfinder game Wrath of the Righteous isn’t worth it because it’s full of woke bullshit.

Granted I’m only roughly 6 hours in so far, but I’m really enjoying the game and haven’t seen really anything too woke. Maybe it gets worse later on but if the big thing people are complaining about is the black female paladin you can have join your team or the gay romance option (which you aren’t forced to do) that’s not really too woke or anything that would put me off the game
 
I don't mind properties with a "liberal" bent, Star Trek to be a good example, also Mass Effect.

If you mean filled with gays, blacks and troons? Then no, I can't think of any.
