Adjective: A word used by the people screaming that everyone needs to "wake up" and then getting insanely angry they have.
by Not Today Satan June 29, 2024

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.

A state when a person is aware of world problems (such as racism, wars, homophobia etc...) and shows compassion towards its victims.
Woke has unfortunately been bastardised by conservatives into an insult to people (mostly to everyone that isn't conservative).
While being woke just means being aware and accepting people how they are and having basic human decency and empathy (and empathy was, is, and always will be a good thing).
Be kind.

Franklin: man who gives a damn if hes gay or not, that man is not married, its his business...

Hym "I didn't 'Go Woke!' You motherfuckers went woke! You're canceling the tranny and by extension fucking with my beer of choice. You tried to hoist me on my own petard because you thought you were clever. Meatball Ron is over there banning a show the might be a subsidiarity element of my thing. You went FULL woke overnight on Oct 8th. I'm not the fucking woke one here. You politics idiot have literally 1 move. Uno reverse all the way. You're just doing now the shit THEY were doing UP UNTIL now. My consistency is unparalleled. You want and are trying to leverage my situation to get me to do Jordan's work-salesmen nonsense. And the situation itself is wrong (on it's face) under the auspices of your purported 'values.' You fucking charlatans. Each and every one of you."
