I interpret it as a way that's performative and didactic in a way that supports general liberal dogma that doesn't naturally flow from the story.

The phenomenon also cuts the other way to conservative media, but idk if there's a word for that specifically.

E: Prey, for example, I wouldn't say is woke since the main character is pretty resourceful and displays an ability to learn and adapt, which she takes advantage of across the movie. Even though the way she ends up killing the thing is pretty stupid.

And the films that get the most antifeminist hate seem to be the ones that use girlboss marketing the most which seems pretty straightforward and why stuff like alita doesn't trigger them.

I think you're on to something here.
