Can you comment a bit more on what you're referring to? I'm not sure I understand.
I learned about "woke" a while ago and I dunno what's PC these days but it's a huge red flag to me of controlled speech and samethink.

It is samethink. A lot of people posting here hold these positions because they read them in the last story about these companies and they want to join in on the rabble. And discussion or nuance gets lost in this blizzard of conformity of opinion. It gets boring after a while.
The concept of being woke is a convenient cop-out to declare in a single word that yes you agree with all those things all those other people are saying.
Also get off my lawn. I'm cranky about fundamental principles I hold dear being distilled down to a slang word so that it fits Twitter culture conversations better.
As far as I can tell, woke is generally used as an adjective towards others (often pejoratively). Unironically claiming to be "woke" will generally elicit ridicule.
