Ice T Rejects Fan Claim that ‘Law & Order: SVU’ Has Gone Woke

As far as police procedural dramas are concerned, you need not look further than the Law & Order franchise, one of the longest-running franchises of all time. Law & Order started off in the 90s with the series of the same name and has since produced numerous spin-offs, some of which have been more successful, others less.

Among these spin-offs, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is – by far – the most successful one, as the series is now heading into its 26th season, which is absolutely amazing in a market where series rarely survive 4-5 seasons and that is if they are really, really good (and with far fewer episodes than SVU).

But, like many shows, SVU has also come under scrutiny by some “fans,” who seem to have rejected the show because it had seemingly “gone woke.” In a recent Twitter exchange, rapper and actor Ice T rejected this claim and decidedly rejected the idea that SVU had gone woke, making fun of the “fan” who asked it.

As stated, production on the 26th season of Law & Order: SVU is currently ongoing, as the series will return to the screens once more. Among the actors who are making their return is Ice T, who will be playing detective Odafin “Fin” Tutuola once again, becoming the male character with the longest uninterrupted run in the series. In light of these preparations, Ice T was asked the following on Twitter:

Did they write SVU back to normal yet? It started to go woke

Surprisingly, Ice T decided to reply to this, and in his usual manner, the actor said the following:

What the F is Woke? lol Like I give a Fuck. https://t.co/qVHbgWnhxD

Ice T clearly rejected the notion that SVU had gone woke, and even if it had, he didn’t seem to care. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is a series that tackles the issue of sexual violence, and in that aspect, it is one of the most groundbreaking series in the history of American television.

This is why these “accusations” are not really relevant and Ice T provided us with the best possible answer to the question – who cares, just enjoy the show!
