woke

A term that was supposed to mean something good (being aware to social injustice and discrimination), but now it has turned into an insult that means "overly sensitive" or "pretending to be woke". Mostly used against the actual pseudo-woke, but sometimes used against ordinary people who have enough ACTUAL wokeness to call out the insult user's blatant racism/sexist/etc.

It practically got ruined by the pseudo-wokeness seen in Twitter warriors and "progressive" companies.

Having enough wokeness to recognize actual bigotry is a good thing, but please don't be a Twitter warrior.

Little sibling who just learned the word "woke": Hey I am proud to be woke

Older sibling: You shouldn't call yourself woke in public or online. That word has turned into an insult used against those pretending to be woke, like in being overly sensitive to the smallest details that are somehow "racist" or "sexist" by some warped logic or by straight-up discriminating against white people and men as an attempt to "counter" discrimination against people of color and women. Long story short they'll think you're oversensitive or even a hypocritical bigot.

Little sibling who now knows why the term "woke" has a stained reputation: Ok thanks for reminding me about this.

Woke Putin

Woke Putin was a war hero from the years 1377-1438. He fought to make Dreamywar and Ambastler, his grandparents happy in the Hundred Year War. He was born in Schweinfurt, Germany in the year 1361. He fought in Fickmuhlen, a town in Niedersachsen when he was 19. He had very hard years as his parents, Nizza and Trump left Woke Putin when he was 61. He tragically was very goonicidal and died from gooning too hard in his pants.

Woke

The latest Conservative buzzword for people who don't toe the Conservative line. First they called anyone who disagreed with them a communist. Then they called us socialists. Then it was virtue signalling. Then it was cancel culture. Now they've gone for 'woke'. It all means the same thing, which is "while I pretend to uphold freedom of speech I am going to apply this convenient buzz word to silence yours because it threatens my privilege".

Conservative: *Attacks a minority*
Progressive: "Stop being an arsehoke toward these people"
Conservative: "Woke bla bla bla... Something about virtue signalling and snowflake"

Woke

MY issue with it is that they clearly FRAME leftist talking points as self-evidently good or inarguably correct and right-wing talking points as antagonistic. The left has presuppositions like "gender is divorced from sex and is on a spectrum" that are reinforced by Hollywood in the same way that the catholic presuppositions are reinforced. Which is a good point. Take Supergirl season 4 (I think) the villain is charlie kirk. It's a framing thing. I mean... You know you'd call it "whitewashing" if it was African folklore but instead it's danish folklore and was done intentionally to hoist white people by their own petard AND they explicitly stated that it was being done for that reason. But... Yeah, that's a good point about the production ebd of things. I hadn't considered that.

Hym "You better not be talking about ME being abusive. The cripple was a shit talking bitch who I was forced to coddle in spite of the fact that they were bring him whores to fuck and put me in a situation where I was forced to either affirm her decision to fuck a retard instead or me or allow them to exploit me in exchange for letting me get away with LESS egregious rule breaking or follow all of the rules while that whore fucks a cripple. You needed to suck the cripples dick to get him to follow any rules. And The boys tried to frame it as me abusing tyrone for no reason but tyrone is a shit talking retarded bitch who likes to think he's proving a point but is too stupid to realize that it isn't the actual WORDS he's using but the ACT of using the words to deride me or the ACT of accusing me of being something I'm not. But.... If I accept meatball's definition of woke, it explains Jordan's pissant attitude. You see how he wanted to covertly excise people from society using his personality test as minority report style future crime? He thought I was Brandon Schiff (And that's why people spammed UD with fuck you brandon posts). Did the students you kicked out KNOW why they were kicked out? Did they know they were taken out before they did anything wrong because they failed your personality test? You see me call that shit years before he was willing to admit it on camera? Ha! Oh and did you see the 'violent' footage of the 'violent' insurrection?"

Woke Dad

The father of a daughter (or daughters) who tries to be a progressive feminist ally but often misses the mark and is sexist by accident.

Jack: I'm not like other dads, I'm a woke dad.
George: How's that?
Jack: I tell my daughters to wear whatever they want on their instas, even if it looks slutty. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
