There are real humans who have effectively been turned into "anti-woke" internet spammers who never watched Star Trek and are suddenly pretending to be very invested.
Just like all those man who thought women's sports was a joke, but are suddenly incredibly personally invested in women's sports whenever a trans women is involved.
And the funny thing is when you ask them what, according to them, woke means they're either stumped or you get an incoherent answer.
When that happens, just remind them that the opposite of woke is comatose, and ask if they prefer being a vegetable.
I wish we had awards, gosh is that a witty comeback
