I’ve never seen a good argument for why people shouldn’t use the term “woke”. The one I see come up the most frequently is “People will call anything with a black/woman/gay in it woke”.
Yeah, that’s what happens you poison the well. That association came about from years worth of very deliberate actions by progressives. They are the ones who made women and blacks(as lead characters) into mascots for their retarded ideology that purposefully incites conflict everywhere they go, and then pretend to be shocked when people start practicing pattern recognition and start rejecting it.
MANY people are absolutely sick of the intersectional feminist commie “frame every fucking thing in the universe through oppressor/victim lens” narrative, and finger-wagging them for using a word isn’t going to make them magically shut up and accept it. Nor is playing a shell game with words going to serve as a reality hack to dodge criticism of this ideology that insists on inserting itself everywhere.
“Why don’t you say what your specific problem is without saying woke, it’s so overused it’s lost it’s meaning”
It has not lost it’s meaning, people moan about the term because they don’t want progressive ideas being criticized. It’s not even the term that’s the issue, they have no problem with “woke” when it’s associated with something they align with succeeding, like that crap ass Barbie movie.
Where is this concern for the sanctity of words when leftists are throwing around “racist”, “sexist”,”misogynist””fascist”,”reactionary”,”incel”, “bigot”,”white supremacist” like potpourri at a wedding? I notice this griping over words is very one-sided, it’s nearly always coming from a progressive, or some normie who doesn’t research anything and gets their talking points from progressives.
A term doesn’t have to have to encompass a thing with total accuracy to be a useful descriptor. No-one actually expects that of any term. Woke is a convenient euphemism for decisions made that 9/10 are based in either intersectional feminism, “white man bad” American racial grievance bullshit, or LGBTWTFBBQ. It’s not hard to define, they just refuse to accept the obvious and go off like a pre-recorded message about “MUH AFRICAN AMERICAN VERNACULAR ALERTNESS TO PREJUDICE”, as if anyone is persuaded by them acting like children, pretending not to understand that words can take on new meanings over time.
Progressives never argue in good faith, it doesn’t matter if you love 100 female-led movies and tv shows and never use the term “woke” once, as soon as you critique some pile of trash like the Acolyte, they’re going to start throwing out the -istaphobes to try and intimidate you into silence, because it’s what they always do. If normies are sick of hearing the term, well, I’m sick of the movement that the term refers to and want it to die already. Neither of us are getting what we want, too fucking bad.
TLDR, Keep using it, the people who bitch about it are either woke themselves, or so low-information/investment that there’s little reason to care about their opinion anyway.
People complaining about the use of the label woke also act as a filter of sorts to out content creators who pretend to be neutral.
I unsubbed last week to a couple of old niche streamers I used to watch frequently because I happened upon their Twitters while they were complaining about the overuse of "woke". And celebrating the segregation of purebloods.
Much like asking a Jap to pronounce Lollapalooza, woke serves as a shibboleth, especially for concern trolls wasting everyone's time JAQing off with "define woke".
Yeah sure it's the media's fault, not the fault of freaks with blue hair calling themselves woke.
I also hate how the media turned the phrase "fellow traveler" that simply let others know you were a nice peace loving fan of The Hobbit into something about communists. Stupid jew media.
Woke used to mean like, anti slavery, aware of crimes against humanity, knowing that the elite run this world.
That literally hasn't changed, because the application of woke is firmly rooted in that kind of faggy nonsense to justify it. Genocide all the Whites because muh slavery. Rewrite history because muh colonization.
The entire concept is about the elimination of normal-raced, normal-sexed, normal-thinking people that is rationalized under "muh oppression".
It was always in context of anti white sentiment, anti supposed slavery (by huwites), aware of supposed crimes against (brown) humanity (by huwites), the (huwite) elites run this world. The latest edition of lgbt+ attached to it is just extension of anti (straight) huwites.
You’re getting pounded for some reason but I remember exactly what you’re talking about.
At one point, you were woke if you knew 9/11 was an inside job to fuel the perpetual war machine, you were woke if you knew about Tuskegee and the way mental institutions were co-opted by cia experimentation programs.
Then one day, all of a sudden, woke meant “aMeRiCa iS fOuNdEd oN rAciSm”
It sure as hell wasn’t the people talking about 9/11 and the control of the banking cartels that caused this switch to occur…

Thing that really grinds my gears.
The media took the term woke, and gave it a new meaning.
Woke used to mean like, anti slavery, aware of crimes against humanity, knowing that the elite run this world.
Now it means something about freaks with blue hair.
Just constantly twisting words around to change the narrative. And the mainstream person just falls right in line.

Isn't a fellow traveler a faggot?
