After the QAnon crowd started the whole “I’m awake, not woke” thing, I think it became pretty clear that the intent of the word is only used to incite hatred under the guise of poking fun at something ala trump’s penchant for nicknames.

I certainly use it as a cue to stop listening to someone.

Its frustrating that groups can appropriate words, slogans or sayings and then they can never be used again as they are attached to that context forever :( . Just having to keep up with it all is very tiring.
I'm not too familiar with "QAnon" and neither are most people I know. We all know what woke is though and use it regularly.
