woke shaming is when white people shame other white people for not being woke enough, resulting in silence or inaction, which perpetuates problems of racial injustice.
woke shaming between white people serves the narrative of "being part of the problem or not". It has absolutely nothing to do with the solution.
Example:
- you’re afraid to share information or ask a question out of fear of being met with a “well actually” response from your more woke friends
or:
- you share information with good intention without realizing your less woke friends will feel stupid (which they probably deserve to, but ask yourself- does feelings stupid inspire action and solution? Or does it just make you feel better about how woke you are??)
-someone asks you a question and the first thing you do is point out the problems in their logic/assumptions
Solutions:
-thank people for their questions, acknowledge their effort
-don’t be a “well actually” person. ever.
-repost/share information that perpetuates positivity and action/direction
-don’t look into the past at all. None of this “well you never cared before” or “I’ve cared all along” or “I care better or harder than you” bullshit
NOTE:
-if a POC makes you feel ashamed of your ignorance, IT'S OKAY. just listen and learn. The point is, whether or not shame or guilt is warranted as a feeling, it does not inspire action. Woke white people shaming other white people just makes it all about white people and guess what, IT'S FUCKING NOT.

Get the woke shaming mug.The act of judging, criticizing, with guilt the choices of food you are eating. Whether by yourself with others.
Food shaming : Please don't eat the bacon. bacon is from cute pigs in a large warehouse farm. you should eat tofu, tofu is not meat. or Vegan is good, meat eaters bad. Similar to body shaming but with food.

Get the Food Shaming mug.The action or practice of making mocking or critical comments about people who take medication.
Pill shaming is most-often directed at people who take/endorse taking psychotropic medicactions as part of a mental health relapse-prevention/recovery plan. As with fat shaming, pill shaming achieves little other than frustrate and humiliate individuals who may already be feeling self-conscious and vulnerable..
Those who indulge in pill shaming are often ideologically driven (eg: scientologists), but sometimes they're just ignorant fools. Since 2013 the act of pill shaming is sometimes called-out on Twitter with the hashtag #pillshaming.

FFS! Don't you think there's enough stigma about mental health already? I found an antidepressant that works for me. Critising people who take psych meds as victims of a psychiatry-big pharma conspiracy does not help me. It's nasty, ill-informed pill shaming.
I really, really dislike being told I am being fooled or oppressed because I take meds. On the contrary, I'm empowered to LIVE #PillShaming

Get the shabingus mug.The act of embarrassing or shaming someone that has to take a shit. Typically occurring in a public setting such as school, work, etc. Other factors such as little to no toilet paper being present or the smelly farts released while trying to hold it in further elevates the Shaming.
I felt sorry for Bradley, our co-workers were Shit Shaming him hard because the bathroom was out of toilet paper.

Get the slut shaming mug.To relieve rage/tension, an individual may find a coconut tree and shake it to release the fruit. In cases where the climate does not allow for natural coconuts, the individual may choose to find the nearest fruit-bearing tree and shake that instead.
Loc became so mad after hearing the bad news that he broke into my yard and shook all the peaches off of my peach tree, the look of rage dissipated from his face as he finished "shaking the coconut tree"
