Hi so I (17 F) don't really know what to think. I hear a lot of stuff in the news about stuff being "woke" and "the war on woke". Is it normal to think it's...stupid? Like there are bigger problems in the world and I don't really care if a mermaid is black or if a trans person is promoting a beer. They're people too. Why is this "woke"? I know black and trans people in real life, why does it matter if they're in movies or in ads? Isn't there like, homelessness and world hunger a bigger thing to worry about than people existing?
