All of this, and they could have just started airing the house hippo commercial again...
They remade the house hippo ad but it is super woke.

I donβt see what is βsuper wokeβ about this.
Extraordinary claims being made? The source the video links to is breakthefake.ca. You can visit the source yourself and verify whether random internet comments describing the website are truthful and accurate.
The remake is telling you not to be criticial but to make sure anything you encounter online comes from a "trusted source" or is "fact checked". The website it tells you to visit is just woke propaganda.
So to you "woke" simply means not trusting everything you read on the internet?
I think you might have a house hippo infestation you should look into.
What does "woke" mean?
This new house hippo is "woke"
The original house hippo is "not woke" (It appears exempt from "woke", because the new hippo is not just "woke" but "super woke")
Using Bill Maher's supplied definition, it follows that the remake is now promoting "race as the first and foremost thing people should always see everywhere" [compare the original and remake to confirm this]

I just watched The House Hippo 2.0 and I think it's totally woke because...
You know, I can't even keep up with the "x and y is woke!!1!" crowd. I'll have to do a frame by frame comparison. Maybe it's some of the production crew or voice actors or something? Maybe the VFX were done by a "woke" company? I don't know. I can't be bothered.

Which mental illnesses would those be? Could you be specific?
You must be a troll.
I'm just looking for clarity. You presumably endorse the definition you posted and I want to understand what it means. Which mental illnesses?
[Edit] Is there some reason you don't want to clarify this? You seem pretty cagey.
