I know what they were using it for.
This is a fair point, but I'm still calling it "Woke Superman" because it's funny.
Sitting around:
"Hey, wanna watch Woke Superman?"
"That the one with the dog wearing a cape?"
"Yes."
"Yeah, put it on."
In their constant fight in the so-called culture wars, asshole conservative reactionaries have different words in the past to define what they see as the enemy: "commie" (they never even differentiate between communists and socialists, just put them in the same bucket), "pinko", "politically correct" (this began as a satirical view by liberals towards certain liberals), and now "woke".
woke by definition doesn't have a definition. It's all the things that the lib-left does that the right doesn't like, and that's it. Any time we do something that they deem 'too far' or 'too ridiculous' they just label it as woke and stop thinking further. It's a method of other-ing that allows them to not have to think about their bigotry.
Meaning is use. "Woke" is used consistently, but differently, in different political circles, so it has more than one meaning.
I'd love to know what the other side's definition is, because I can't seem to pin it down.
