Like far too many people, OP appears to not understand the definition of woke.
Are people not aware that this is gaming circle jerk?
Also, as far as I'm aware, highlighting police brutality and racial injustice IS woke
The point is that it's being used as satire by posting in a circlejerk sub, not that it's being used incorrectly.
Shit. I don't understand what it means.
Woke - Anything right wing politicians and media has decided to rile their base against. Defining "woke" any more specifically than that today will mean that the definition is wrong tomorrow because what is or is not "woke" changes almost daily.
Woke simply means being conscious of diversity and discrimination issues happening in your society.
someone who is overly worried about issues like discrimination to the point they create their own problems would be one definition.
A bad definition, to be sure.
That definition is really helpful for blocklist curation.
So many people don't understand what woke means that the meaning of woke changes
