Probably because what counts as woke to those people differs. For some it's about race, others about gender, others about sexuality, others about something as simple as characters being fat.

It's easier to say they're "anti-woke" because they're vehemently against "whatever they view as woke" which is generally taken to mean anything not cis het dynamics featuring conventionally attractive people with the man being the main character and also the hero. And also mention of any ideas that go beyond enlightened centrism counts as political.

Racist doesn't quite cover it.

NAYRT, I agree that racist doesn't cover all of it, but I do also think "anti-woke" feels a bit weak. I'd just go with "bigoted".

I don't actually agree with that either, nuance wise. It's not meant to be weak or strong or condemning, it's a descriptor.

Not all bigoted people are vocally out there being bigots and being "anti" anything that they think offends their sensibilities. One can be a quiet or passive bigot who secretly looks down on the poor and holds their nose while interacting with neurodivergent people or something, but one cannot be quietly "anti-woke" because the term means they're crusading against anything they perceive as wokeness.

"Racist" is not the same as "bigot" is not the same as "anti-black."
