Against my better judgement, I’m going to answer this from the perspective of an outside observer.
“Woke” means including societal issues such as race an identity when they add nothing to the content.
For example, in a hypothetical horror movie with a group of people in a van stopping to get gas.
Woke: as the group pulls in, the attendant steps out and says, hi I’m Gay Ken. I’m here to be your gay serviceman. The group gets gas and then back into their car to keep driving.
Not: as the group pulls in, the attendant says, “what do you want?”. The group gets gas and then leaves.
This is one of the phases of what woke means. It started as “being conscious to modern racial issues”. It then transitioned to “forcing racial and identity issues where they don’t add to the content”. And has finally found its current state as “ anything conservatives don’t like”.
The first definition makes a lot of sense. The second definition, when taken in context with the first, makes some sense to some people. The third definition means the word is useless.

You make a good point, its lost the original meaning.
