It's hilarious how we have gotten to a point where the word "woke" is so overused it has literally become meaningless and if anything it has just became a dog whistle for the Karen's and Keith's to express their frustration every time something doesn't resemble 1930's Germany.

Oh calm down. I don't know why some people have chosen to see this discussion as racist. Who mentioned black people? It's a car ad with no car in it. They've changed to logo from a jaguar to kindergarten letters. It's stupid.

Here you go... from Urban Dictionary:

...the original meaning is slowly fading and instead, is used more often to term someone as hypocritical and think they are the 'enlightened' despite the fact that they are extremely close-minded and are unable to accept other people's criticism or different perspective. Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion.

I feel sorry for the people who work in the dealerships as they will be the ones who will suffer

I didn't ask you for a definition of the word, I asked you to explain what is so "woke" about this advertisement in particular. I'll keep waiting.

When you learn how to speak to people, perhaps you'll get a proper answer to a post. Keep going the way you're going and you'll be talking to yourself.

No, not unable. Unwilling. Maybe serious debates isn't for you...

[Cherie]

It reminds me of the adverts that are created on the Apprentice, how would you know what it is advertising?

Or you just realised that you can't answer the question without sounding like a racist so you thought it would be a better idea to scramble and deflect in any way you could. A serious debate is had with serious people, not people who whine about "woke" because their precious selves are triggered by an advert.

I myself am from a minority.

I want to let you know that when someone puts you on ignore they can't see your posts anymore and don't get a notification that you've replied to them.

Bye.

Maybe you have to guess? Maybe this is the new direction for advertising. We're not going to show you what we're selling, you have to make a wild stab in the dark.

Complain something is too woke, then cant explain why its woke, typical from the snowflake right wingers, they’d rather looks stupid than admit they don’t like seeing too many black people on tv

Liam, you are the king of looking stupid.

Had the question been asked reasonably, and if the poster in question had not ridiculously invoked Godwin's law in their first post, there might have been a discussion.

[Crimson Dynamo]

copy nothing

[Glenn.]

So no answer on why it’s woke yet?

Just the same old talking down to people by the same woman and the contrarian posting YouTube videos and not answering why it’s woke.

[Oliver_W]

I agree with SB in that I think it's a crap advert, definitely a swing and a miss ... but I don't really see how it's woke? The "deliberate anti-aesthetic appearance" of the models is the only thing remotely woke.

Why are people responding with so-called definitions of the word "woke"? I asked what was "woke" about the advert that was posted, not what the word means to people that have been scare mongered and brainwashed into thinking all the "woke" lefties are out to get them.

Yeah, notice how we're still waiting for an answer? Apparently they can answer it.. they just don't want to
