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!
Has it ever occurred to you that you don't know the troof? It always annoys me when I see people claim to know the troof and others are too dumb to see it. It's just so arrogant.
It pleases me that I am able to block you and your off-gassing about invented offenses.
"Ain't nobody goan screw mah sister but me! I done put the work in!"
This is a weird way to expose your incest fetish.
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.
What are you talking about? SJW memes carried the internet from 2014 to 2018. They provided us with cultural changing cringe and jokes
That's how language naturally evolves. People either give new definitions to words to describe a new phenomena or they come up with new words entirely. In either case, it's dumb to avoid using words to achieve some sort of political purity. Different words have different meanings in different contexts. If somebody can't pick up on that, that's their problem, not yours.
That's honestly a really shitty take. "Hey, I'm going to take this word that means one thing and how people are fighting for true equality and I'm going to shit all over that word and make it meaningless. It's just how language evolves."
Such brain dead logic. Your political views aren't superior to anyone else's and language doesn't bend to your personal biases. If a word is used or invented organically by a large amount of people to describe something, then that word has a new definition, and is thus expanding the vocabulary in the dictionary. That is literally how language evolves. It's like how the word bug used to mean insect or a small annoyance but then expanded to include concealed devices used for spying and then expanded again to include computer errors. Validity in the world isn't limited to your myopic views.
Idk what's more dumb the fact that you think the same thing doesn't apply you or the fact that you got so triggered over nothing.
