I've seen this term a LOT but what does it mean I'm confused?

    I assume it just literally means a woke reader

    Definition from Merriam-Webster
    "Woke" is an adjective, originating in African American Vernacular English (AAVE), that denotes being aware of and attentive to important social facts and injustices, especially regarding racism. While originally a term for social awareness, it is now often used pejoratively by critics to describe, or dismiss, progressive or liberal views on social, racial, and gender issues.

    Basically if you criticise any story that features problematic themes, such as rape or pedophilia or abuse or anything bad/weird, you're going to get called woke.

    It means people who express disappointment that there is rape in a story, making the other readers' reading experience less joyful & guilt-free
