You raise a completely valid point that "fascism" is used in exactly the same way by the left political spectrum.

But this does not make the use of woke as a generic accusation any better.

> I simply do not believe anymore that people don't know what others mean when they say "woke"

The insiduous thing about this is: Different people do mean different things with this.

Some people are maybe against depicting women in leadership roles; others might not want to normalize homosexuality. Another group might want to keep any mention of transgenderism away from their kids. Someone else might just want to see more racist jokes about Mexicans. All those views are radically different; a lot of those "anti-woke" views would not even agree with each other.

By allowing weasely standpoints like that in a debate, you make it very easy for people to claim broad support for stupid and bigoted views without having to justify them.

So, in the context of western comics, what does "too much woke" mean to you?

I think you're demonstrating the optimal strategy that people should take. If an opinion can easily get you labeled as a bad person, it's probably better to just not talk about it.
