I think there is criticism is how they frame it.
For example, I don't think the term woke is that useful and is instead used broadly to mean anything that is deemed too socially progressive to the speaker and/or listener. So it can mean transgenderism as Mick mentioned, it can mean Black Lives Matter, it can mean advocating for homosexual couples to adopt, and it can mean being pro-choice.
I certainly think there is a mob effect on social media where people actively go out to almost destroy anyone who makes the slightest perceived transgression. People for whom context and intention don't matter.
But then I also think there is a racial bias in American policing. That transgender people aren't hurting anyone so leave them alone. So to the likes of Dan Wotton, I am part of a woke mob. It doesn't bother me because I don't believe him to have much of intellect to be able to drill into these positions properly and think about it so he mouths off like a man in the pub, but it is an example of how unless the phrase is.
