-How do you define woke? Because you state it is not woke, then lay out wokeness facts.
Good question. I guess it's different from your definition.
First off, let's define what isn't woke in my point of view.
Something that caters to a gay and or transgender audience without slamming us "normies" is not woke. Or you'd have to say something like "Cage aux folles", "Will & Grace" or "to Wong Foo" is woke. Which is absurd.
A movie that has black and/or other ethnicity representation in a setting where it make sense is not woke. "Beverly Hills Cop", "The Cosby Show" and "Lethal Weapon" are not woke for having black people in them.
For me, "Woke" is a black Heimdall and Valkyre being crammed into Asgard in the MCU.
50 kilogram girls easily fighting men that are double their weight in Charlie's Angels and winning "because they are girls".
Black people being in the city guard of a european medieval setting like in the Witcher series.
Batwoman doing everything better than Batman, and telling us the suit will be perfect when a woman wears it.
This shit has an agenda.
It's woke.
-I do not care if the woke is baked in to a children's show expertly, or glued on badly... I do not trust my kids watching any woke show because I do not trust the messaging- I call it woke supremacy for a reason.
That's totally your opinion, man. And I respect that 100%.
- why would the original being 'gay as fuck' affect anything? If true, ok. If false, ok. None of that affects how woke this one is. Much has changed since then - intersectionalism and critical race theory are now prevelant, and the type of feminists who might be working on the original are now all 'fascist terfs'.
This is simply my take on that argument I have heard a few times online (in this thread as well), that the old series was some bastion of manliness, and the new series is a gay inferno.
Sorry, but this is laughable.
Like I said, the old show (and He-Man to an extend as well) was gay as fuck. There is even a quote online saying:
n 2007, Scheimer publicly declared her homosexuality. In an interview with Terrance Griep, Scheimer explained that she felt comfortable as a lesbian working for
Filmation: "I was a strong female voice myself, and—guess what?—I happened to be gay. Does that make any difference about anything? I'll tell you one thing, it didn't matter, because Filmation was one of the gayest places in town."

-There is also a huge difference between 'wink wink nudge nudge' call outs to gay culture [relatively commonplace for decades] and overt sexuality and woke diatribes in kids cartoons.
Well, this is a show with a rainbow unicorn Pegasus that acts glamourous and lesbian princesses with superpowers. There is nothing subtle about it. I give you that.
The thing is, I don't have a problem with gay people, people of other skin colours, or people that feel they are born in the wrong body. Everybody should just be able to live in a way that makes them happy.
And I don't have a problem with shows that cater to these audiences.
The problem I see is, when that stuff sips into my hetero male movies, and tries to make ME feel like I am wrong with my sex, skin color or general body image. And that's what the woke agenda tries to do.
Dividing us.
We should be better than that.
