Honestly, this tabs into two issues I have with the Woker(tm)

1. Corporate Wokeness

Is not real wokeness, it's a cheap plastic copy meant to virtue signal to consumers without any understanding about the issues that move many consumers today. And corpo-wokeness pumps into a feedback-loop with people who do the same (virtue signal without understanding, lifestyle-lefties who have never really been in someone else's shoes).

But then again I'd rather have Corpo-Woke than Corpo-Fash, I just wish we could do without the commercialization of our culture.

2. The reduction of our cultural story-landscape to eurocentric narratives and history.

We have SOOOOO many movies and films set in ancient Rome/Greece or medieval Europe and we get basically no stories out of ancient subsaharan Africa or pre-colonization Australia and India. Many of these stories are lost thanks to colonization, but there should still be SOOOO many stories to tell and our eurocentric culture focuses on continually recycling the same two dozen stories (Troy, Spartacus, Caesar, Beowulf, Vikings, Arthur, etc.) that continually only provide the same roles we've seen a thousand times.

But then again I'd rather have some representation in a eurocentric landscape than no representation at all. I just wish we could shake off the eurocentrism, so that representation would be build into a system, that sources its stories out of every culture, instead of artificially gluing representation onto it.
