Get the Wokeness mug.
Wokeness
Wokeness is a socio-digital phenomenon where superficial, well-intentioned moral assumptions are isolated from rational critique by a class of moral purists. These enforcers interpret any counterargument as a direct offense, defining it as oppressive, bigoted, or unacceptable to leave no space for rational discourse. This results in a state of social inertia and scrupulosity that prioritizes virtue signaling over effective problem-solving.
Male: "Actually, if you look at the data, the wage gap is largely a product of supply and demand, occupational choice, and hours worked—not just some secret club of men."
The Feminist: "Ugh, stop mansplaining the patriarchy to me. Your 'logic' is literally just a tool of oppression..."
Male: Wokeness is taking over everybody's mind

People thought Tina cared about labor issues, considering how much she Tweeted about it, but it was all performative wokeness - she had no problems crossing picket-lines if the business offered a sale.

Terminal Wokeness
Terminal Wokeness is the state of a company franchise or product that becomes so Woke that it has lost and or abandoned what fans and customers formerly found appealing about it.
Terminal Wokeness exists in an era where more and more Western companies became Woke and this causes those that are or were so invested in the company product or franchise to vote with their money or vote with their feet and leave. This led to observable losses in the company or mass abandonment or rejection of the company product or franchise by current and or former fans and customers.
Sometimes known as Get Woke Go Broke.
Terminal Wokeness describes to the fan and customer that the company franchise or product would rather push "approved" politics ideology and world view such as Social Justice Feminism and Political Left, over making a good product tv show and movie telling a story or improve upon what they have already built.

Frivolous Wokeness
Being woke about anything and everything. Overextended wokeism. When being woke reaches a level that's just annoying and has no real purpose or value.

Weaponised Wokeness
1. When someone uses baseless attacks in order improve their argument at the expense of another person.
2. An antonym of virtue signalling. The user wants to gain legitimacy by calling out another persons wrong actions.
3. The user of this style of argument will use terms which have a subtext of “guilty until proven innocent”.
