Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Twitter) with:

It's mocking people who actually complain about wokeness by attributing something so absurd to it.

Ah, it can be very hard to tell the difference between someone using it mockingly and being serious sometimes.

I feel out of touch that it doesn't strike enough resemblance to anything I read, so didn't set my parody alarm off.

Woke is used for satire almost as much as it is used for bigotry. The word has almost no meaning at this point. (Based?)

Ask anyone to define woke and it's suddenly just a list of all their biases and bigotry.

Sad our society has become too woke to recognise parody.

Also some kind of product tie-in too like watches or drinking glasses for some nominal fee with a purchase of a Whoopenheimer value meal.

God that makes me sad. I'd been down for a Whoppenheimer and a beer.

[–] alongwaysgone 1 points 1 year ago

Kids meals would totally be watches.

The term woke no longer has any true meaning, assuming it ever did.
