Wokemon is a derogatory term for a "token character" used to superficially appeal to leftists,[1] similar to token black.[2] It can refer to the identity-perception management of characters by profit-making media.[3] It's similar to the accusation of being a "diversity hire."
Tokenism is the practice of making only a perfunctory or symbolic effort to be inclusive to members of minority groups, especially by recruiting a small number of people from underrepresented groups in order to give the appearance of racial or sexual equality within a workforce.[4][5]
This is distinct from true inclusion, in which diversity is present at all levels of an organization, including the decision-makers.
