The stonetoss comic is kind of funny for the absurdity but also retarded as it's using the same argument people use to frame everything as "always woke/always political", literally letting the retards win. Different races doesn't equal woke, that's fucking retarded. These are americans who worked at black mesa in the fucking alien invaded repurposed ruins of european cities and the races actually have thought ut into them but in a way that doesn't override the character as literally just being that race as their thing. You don't see eli or alyx go on a trade bout being black and how it makes them a victim for reasons completely unrelated to the plot or character interactions, they're literally just fucking people.
As for T2 a ton of people in the thread beat me to the actual explanation of why "no, it's not".
When people used to unironical call them selves woke they basically used it to mean they where enlightened and it was there duty to wake people up and get them to the elevated true standard of morality of blindly accepting beautiful beared women with prostates, pregnant men and teaching babys how not to be racist.
No, that was the sarcastic usage. Woke originally literally meant "aware", usually applied to being aware of fucked up malicious shit being done by places of authority. I fucking hate the historical revisionism to act like it was always the eternal current year 'reclaimed" version.
Nobody has ever defined "woke". Can't we just go back to calling things cringe and faggotry when appropriate? Why do we have to kowtow to advertiser friendly vocabulary?
(I'm not calling Terminator cringe or faggotry here btw)
It's because it's running off several subversions and corruptions of a term originally meant as a "they woke up to the bigger picture" type shit. Basically the OG red pilled meme before the matrix and before politics grifter guys and pickup artists co-opted that one. During the mid-late 2010s into the 2020s it's ben anally raped and turned some fucked up verbal corpse skinsuit thneed type shit as a term usage wise.
A popular blonde girl... give her a camera I guess?
I'm pretty sure she was like a photography nerd or something like that from what i remember of the lore. Their names all kind of played into their character traits. It was always interesting to me how they gave these rando kid mascots lore and shit, someone probably put a lot of effort into them (i mean fuck look at kid vid).
Also you may notice wheel's wheelchair isn't a normal wheelchair but some fucking weird ass xmen shit. I don't remember if his wheelchair had gadgets or something in it but I wouldn't put it out of the question.
