Get the woke mug.Examples of pseudo-wokeness:
Calling very small things that aren't even racist "racist" for no real reason.
Discriminating against white people, men, and straight people, thinking it'll "counter" the discrimination against people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ members that happened in the past and the present.
Any sort of corporate pandering
Doing any of the examples of pseudo-wokeness shown here won't fix the fire that is bigotry. It'll just create another "anti-fire" (which is really just another fire) that'll burn down society even more and possibly even strengthen the pre-existing fire.

Get the Just woke up the butcher. mug.A term that originated in black communities; a AAVE (African American Vernacular Enlgish) slang for being aware of the social injustices around oneself.
During and after the Black Lives Matter movement, the term has been thrown around and its original meaning lost, as the negative perception of the BLM movement + new media and content that makes an effort to be inclusive, affects the general interpretation of the word.
Now, its often seen being used to describe a person/entity of trying too hard to show diversity and be inclusive, for the pure sake of crowd pleasing.
The people who use this word with a negative connotation tend to be right-wing/conservative in their political beliefs; the majority being White. The people who use "woke" with its original meaning intended, tend to be left-wing/liberal in their political beliefs; which most groups tend to be ethnically and religiously diverse.
Notes: Younger generations seem to use it in a positive sense, older generations tend to apply negative connotations. "Younger" generations are now stepping up and into positions of power and authority: becoming politicians, educators, and creating new movies and media. both generations are seeing normalized sexualization, racism, misogyny, etc being filtered out, and feel different ways about them.
