dont just say "woke" as some form of criticism for a tv show. 15 years ago no one on here would know what that meant. you were on here back then too. you joined in 2008. never used words like "woke" back then.
i'm just fed up of hearing people regurgitate words from either the left wing or (yeah its mainly this next lot) the right wing press. i immediately know then the word "woke" got used because there is several articles about how they wanted a buzz word to use to take a catchphrase and turn it right wing "crusade" against things they didn't like. so everything they didn't like became "woke".
i'm bored of politics and i dont want to see it on here tbh so just say something else rather than be a cliche old boy and when you use words like "woke" thats just being a cliche and you're better than that

It’s not a cliché, Vince, this is a real problem. In terms of drama in particular - reality is twisted to serve this new political agenda.
In terms of ‘The Gilded Age’, the black character is being accepted and given privileges well beyond what would have happened back then.They are twisting history, and all in the name of this new ‘woke’ political agenda. It has to stop.
In terms of my comment, I did point out that this was, overall, a decent drama but it was ‘a little bit woke’ at times. I think this is a fair comment, and if you bothered to watch it, and if you had any sense of history at all, you would recognise my comment as fair.
