In his short story “The Enemy Within,” cultural critic Chuck Klosterman describes the ordeal of a woman who is hauled before an anonymous panel to answer questions about her boyfriend’s television-viewing habits. The questioners tell her they noticed he was now watching shows with more characters who were transgender, female, and black and wanted to know whether he had been watching these shows for the right reasons.
“We have reason to believe your boyfriend is Fake Woke,” they tell her, accusing him of watching these shows so he can brag about it on social media — right viewing habits masking wrongthink.
