The genesis for all of this is that we're stacking generations of people who do not read. At one point you could have said we had a generation of people who only read Harry Potter, or Hunger Games, or Twilight. At this point we're worse off and they haven't even read those. Instead we have people who skim wikipedia, or watch the film adaption, or skip the spark notes, or just read the end of a book. And if they do manage to read something they're judging it entirely from a modern perspective. You see this a lot from people who watch films and TV to figure out what the "woke" parts are, which they then complain about. Literature wise you've got people reading Huck Finn and claiming the novel in of itself is racist, Huck is a white savior, Jim isn't a realistic (black) character etc. It's nauseating. But again, this is the product of people not reading.
If all you consume is your twitter feed or whatever tumblr you enjoy, your writing is going to be overly influenced by that. This is why so much dialogue in media (especially television, but also film) is trash. The ironic thing about all of this is that 30 years ago, Rush Limbaugh and others were crying about leftist art; they didn't call it "woke" because they hadn't stolen that phrase from black people yet. Today much of the right wing media nexus will have you believe films/tv weren't political back in those glory days. In reality they were arguably more political but the writing was better. Because the writers...read. They found inspiration in prose, found their own voice, and then found a way to say something beyond throwing some words in a blender (privilege, white supremacy, etc) and calling it a day.
