Odd thing, I watched the new My Little Pony movie on Netflix...

So did this guy I know who is somewhat of a Trumpbot.

He says it's a "woke" movie.

Why?

I haven't figured that out yet, maybe the guy has been slammed by Alex Jones too often.

I didn't see any "woke" material myself.
It's just a corny kids' movie.

I found an article at the Faux "news" website saying the movie is "woke."

I think the writer is full of it.

and that she is considering getting rid of Netflix Kids (I don't why she didn't just say Netflix).

I was tempted to say "oh you voted for the guy who said grab 'em by the pussy, but go on..."
