woke

Someone who takes it upon themselves to be offended for other people, usually over things nobody asked them to care about, nobody elected them to speak on, and that the “offended” folks don’t even see as offensive. Still, they march on like it’s their sworn duty.
"Fat is the new thin", declared the woke person, not realising living over 40 is more important than fake feelings.

Woke people are like small children, everything is about who said it first, regardless of the validity or the content of the thing in question. If it was their idea, then it is noble and breaking free, if it was any hated group's idea then it is offensive and oppressive. The thing in question could literally be anything.
