I liked it way more than I thought I would. Maybe it's because it was introduced to me in the middle of Corona Time and I was halfway insane, but the story really stuck with me. A good chunk of the game is filler, but whenever it shifts gears and starts focusing on the narrative it gets good. While it is kinda generic fandomslop and it has too long of a runtime, after I finished it I could not stop thinking about it for the next three weeks.
 
Undertale (only the game, and isolated of its fandom and Toby himself and everything else) had some parts that actually made me misty. Mostly the mentions of family loss.
I really liked Hypnospace Outlaw despite being extremely inaccurate at portraying the 90s; it was portraying early 00s instead. It had some unnecesary gay and communist shit shoved in there for no reason (and there will be keyboard warriors coping at you whenever you mention it somewhere), but even with that the game has a great execution, only ruined by the shitty redemption attempt of an ending. I still recommend the game, you should pirate it at least.
 
I've read a few web serials by wildbow/John McRae (Worm, Pact, just started Pale). I enjoy his world building and literary style a lot, but he has a tendency to push his obnoxious political/social views as a liberal Canadian in his stories. I'll roll my eyes when he talks about shit like racists flying Confederate flags (in Canada), but that shit usually gives way to superheroes or goblins or shit soon after, so I can power through. And with the volume he writes for these things, far more of the story is spent on the actually interesting shit than wokeshit.

The fanarts and alternative universe are decent. But i wish the story would been much better. The graphic nivel was much better concept.

Steven universe, damn i waste my time on that plot. But it is the best music i ever hear on my shitter years.
 
I'm sure this has already been mentioned but: Night in the Woods.

The dialog is very well written imo, the characters feel like real people and I can sympathize with all of the mains to some degree, I love the setting, and I think the relationships between the characters are interesting and usually wholesome (with some notable exceptions). I can't even care that much about the tranny/ACAB/whatever stuff because honestly it feels pretty realistic. The major plot was kinda boring though, I don't care for that.
 
Star Trek from the very beginning could be described as woke. But this was back when switching up characters sex and race was a unique thing they put thought into. And not something everyone mindlessly does to virtue signal and shield themselves from criticism. Some people who try to point to early examples like Star trek to justify the current slop miss this point.

Utopia (UK version): the plot literally reads like a COVID conspiracy ~7 years before the virus hit. It's a mystery series so I won't go into too much detail, but the cast is diverse and credence is leant to some pretty hard opinions that a lot of people (myself included) are going to disagree with.

Wilson Wilson was right
 
But it did not take long to become 100% the blubbering vagina show, and I could no longer maintain my delusion that this jew had something interesting to say - despite having such a fantastically novel way to say it.
For me, Season 5 going from a plot about Lars trapped in space to inconsequential slice-of-life bullshit like Kevin throwing a fucking party just killed any momentum.

The plot of Elysium is woke as hell, and honestly kind of terrible. But the setting, all the cool sci-fi shit, and especially this character. Agent Kruger has stuck with me for over a decade as one of the most entertaining characters I've ever seen.
 
I actually really like the Millennium (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) series of novels even though I'd probably want to beat the late author to death had I ever actually had to talk to him in person. The original Swedish miniseries is also really good, the American adaptations all suck ass though.

Gene Roddenberry had a lot of leftist ideas and built a lot of leftist assumptions into the world of Star Trek, but he still flew a bomber in WWII and later on a civilian flight he dragged people out of a burning plane that crashed in the Syrian desert and then led the survivors to safety despite two broken ribs. His leftism was tempered with first hand experiences with the harshness of reality. This gave an avenue for non-leftist stuff to sneak it and improve the quality of the show. His serial womanizing nature also had an effect, though that was more enabled by his "free love" 60's leftism than tempered by it.
 
I guess Goodbye Volcano High technically counts. You can't get much more woke than a Canadian stimulus project where literally every character is LGBT or disabled. Can't get much more woke than a complete and utter failure who's most notable aspect is being totally shown up by a fangame where the real game's main character's entire arc is about getting over her own identity crisis in the form of her non-binarism.

The thing about the woke wave that started around 2013 to present time is that it led to a lot of mediocrity. Some stuff I seen in those years that wasn't terrible was still forgettable, I can remember movies that I wasn't even alive when it premiered so no nostalgia at involved, but I can't remember some movie from last year? why? because it sucked, and that boomer flick from half a century ago didn't, its that simple.

Of course now that the woke shit is running out of steam we finally get all the cowards who enabled this coming out of the woodworks saying what we already knew: that all the wokes were mediocre shits who showed up one day and say if they didn't give them the budget for a project they would accuse the company/studio of being racist, sexist,-phobic and whatever.

Unless of course by woke you mean anything that doesn't comply to an almost cartoonish form of conservatism...

It happens in 1999, still looks too advanced for the era, lots of people now just can't imagine a world were you didn't have video streaming and 3D worlds to walk around because everybody was on dialup and 3D was extremely limited.
Modern Family, it's just because it's what I grew up with
How old are you?
The plot of Elysium is woke as hell, and honestly kind of terrible.
The entire movie doesn't make any sense even when you take the woke shit out, and the director said on ian interview that it wasn't about immigration but healthcare. After that and the turd that was chappie tts pretty clear that retard afrikaner just got lucky with district 9. Just FYI he was also involved in Hyenas.
At some point I enjoyed watch dogs 2 and watch dogs legion
Slop games released at the peak of woke shit.
