Anything I don't like is woke?

Do they know what woke even means?

Why do the anti-woke seem to use the word woke more than the pro-woke crowd does?

Their true colors show when a game like the upcoming one from Wu-Tang Clan has 100% Black origin, but they still call it DEI. The "forced diversity" mask comes off and all that remains is pure racism.

That game looks awesome. Any word on whether it's going to be available on Linux?

Its just like "DEI." They don't know what it actually means. They're idiots. They just mean women and black people when they say it.

Woke doesn't mean anything, and I consider anyone using it to be a piece of shit. The term has been completely overtaken by assholes.

People who have a woke mentality never seem to use the word

It’s because we just call it “being a good person” and “not being a racist fuckstick”. Generally the only people who need it are the ones complaining about it, everyone else just considers it business as usual.

Because the greater populace has fallen for their aim to redefine the word. It used to be used to declare awareness of oppression and prejudice. Now it's a word to avoid or denounce, even by those that should be embracing it.
