Fucking "woke" man... it's kinda nice in a way, because now I know whenever I see that word brought up I can safely ignore what comes after it as the person has proven that they're brainwashed by Reich wing media...
It's absolutely fucking ridiculous seeing the "discussions" section on Steam about a goddamn video game be filled with "Is this game woke?" "BOYCOTT WOKE GAME" "Remove the option to have pronouns or we'll cancel you!"
Absolutely fucking brainwashed... Literally a bunch of Pavlov's dogs running around getting triggered by options in a video game because they were conditioned to.
I actually remember before the term “woke” got stolen by Fox News and was frequently used across Black Twitter as a shorthand for taking the red pill on seeing racism and intersectional grief in our society. Once your eyes are open to these truths, you can’t stop seeing them.
Ah OH BOY some people have a PROBLEM with the truth being plainly seen and spoken about. Can’t have that!
It's actually kind of a tragedy that the word has taken on that perception. There are some things that can and should be discussed that fall under the "woke" definition. But there's no good alternative word. DEI is commonly used, but it's not applicable in some instances when woke still would be. So we're left kind of floundering around looking for words to describe a concept that is easily summed up as woke, just to avoid the perception of being a close-minded bigot. This isn't the first, and certainly won't be the last thing that the right has taken, bastardized, and used until it's tired and worn out.
It’s okay, we had to deal with being called SJWs for a long time as well. This kind of idiotic cock blocking isn’t going to stop people from slowly evolving out of the unjust systems of thought we’ve inherited.
Same with social justice. To me it's one of the most important topics. I hate the SJW memes.
