I find Steven universe and the legend of Korra to be woke cartoons!

Korra is mostly good, but there are a few axes I have to grind with it. For one, they started off by showing that benders are privileged with respect to non-benders, and that there's a guerrilla movement that wants to level the playing field, called the equalists. I was ready to root for them, but then the show casts them as the bad guys! Even if their leader was a fraud, the movement itself was good, but there wasn't any nuance - they were all portrayed as evil. Then, there was the hamfisted love triangle between Korra, Mako, and Bolin, that just didn't need to exist at all. The writers seemed to pick up on that after season 2, and they all stayed as just friends afterwards. There were a couple of other things that annoyed me, but I don't remember them, since I haven't watched the show in years. I mostly like it, but I wouldn't call it woke.
