In TV and cinema media, the use of modern the interpretations of social justice and racial intersectionality to justify the changes to an established media product to correct previously "insensitive, racist, or problematic" themes, characters, and/or plot devices; with the end result being that the new product is subjectively more racist and insensitive, destroys established canon of, and is inferior to the original media.
Did you see Gren in that shitty-ass Netflix adaptation?! His character was woke washed to the point of being irrelevant.

The act of being very pretentious about how much you care about a social issue,when in fact you're talking out of your ass.
Listen to Mike pretend to know and care about that social issue. He doesn't have a clue, he's talking out if his ass like a true woke- hole.
A combination of 'woke' and 'painting by numbers'.
A personality or a cultural product that cautiously mimes textbook approaches to being 'woke' while in actuality conforming to a rigid ideological agenda based on restricting free thought and actual radical gestures, movements and solutions.
This can also apply to the curation of personalities and concepts that truly are progressive based solely on their utility towards creating the false appearance of a progressive values.
This exhibition seems very diverse but really it's just woke by numbers.
A state of amplified self righteousness, rooted in an unconscious desire to identify oneself with oppressed cultural groups, that facilitates snap public judgments of strangers based upon the superficial content of their everyday speech.
Eben had been tactless all his life, but his A grade in a women's studies course enabled the full realization of his woke privilege.
When a very small percentage of white privileged parents in some red states want public schools to fine or fire math and science teachers who preach that the number π is irrational; instead, they want them to teach that pi’s “true” value is three, citing 1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2 in the Bible as “proof” for their claim.
Under the banner of "parents' rights," a small aggressive group of alt-right Trumpublicans and “fine” patriots expect their oft-morally bankrupt senator to push for woke pi in all schools statewide.

Woke is a phrase that has gone through some changes in recent times -
The previous definition of woke was slang for being politically awake, for example knowing that there are legitimate social injustices in the United States, such as police brutality, poverty, disability discrimination, etc.
However, " to be politically woke" has changed in recent times. Woke is now used more as a derogatory term to satire or make fun of SJWs who go too far or lack political knowledge.
Woke nowadays refers to a specific ideology of people who oversimplify complex societal issues into a binary hierarchy of oppressor group vs victim group, and the ideology often removes sense of individuality / nuance.
"woke" ideology can often call for measures to be put in, namely Equality of Outcome and call for the legally compelled measures to artificially elevate the victim class and similar measures to artificially relegate the said oppressor class.
The main issue with being "politically woke" is that it often blames entire groups for the actions of a few, or may bring up historical injustice from centuries ago and frame it as a present issue and present people responsible for it.
Friend 1: I think my professor is politically woke.
Friend 2: in the good way?
Friend 1: no, the bad way.
Announcing that oneself is "woke" actually makes him / her less woke. The more that one self-proclaims "woke-ness" the less woke that person is in reality. This is the essence of the "woke scale," which is represented mathematically as follows:
Level of Woke = 1 - (Self Proclaimed Woke Level)
Stacy: "Wow guys, I am so woke it is crazy."
Stacy's Friends: "Stacy clearly isn't that woke. According to the woke scale, I think her woke level just dropped to 3%"
