Okay, fine, let’s see what their argument is.
In my piece, I noted that—so far at least—I hadn’t encountered anything overtly preachy or that one might describe as garishly political or “overly woke”.
Aaand done with the article! Good, that didn’t take too long.

What’s wrong with acknowledging a term a lot of people use? It’s also implying it as it’s only acknowledging the word and not endorsing it, the “…” for that I think.
And the article is well written, explains what’s lacking, gives an alternative way of doing it better.

Skibidi toilet is also a term a lot of people use. It’s also stupid and has no meaningful definition in discussion.
If you want to use the term “woke”, and believe its presence in media is an issue, please define it first.

It’s a term lot of kids use and it’s a real IP now whether you like it or not. The author did not use it unironially, it’s very clearly ironic. I would also remind you that you are doing what those “anti-woke” people do, making a firm assumption over a term/word without looking at the material/substance.
