The backlash against the word “woke” is because it’s so unbelievably effective against them now that their side is culturally up against the ropes for once.
The thing is, it's not that the "Anti-woke" is scoring victories against them - they are falling flat on their ass constantly despite having all the advantages in their court. They’re up against the ropes because everyone else is getting sick of their bullshit.
The term has gained the power it does because of their own actions (namely being insufferable tyrannical cunts), their own projects backed by mega-corporations and million-dollar budgets bombing every other month. They seem to think that just dodging or discrediting the “woke” label will save them, but it’s not going to change anything. People don’t want Dustborn, or Concord, or the Acolyte, or whatever other shitfest comes next, and you can only do the “Popular IP Skinsuit” trick so many times before you piss off too much of that that built-in audience and they stop coming.
They’re freaking out because they’ve finally hit a barrier that they can’t get around with globalist money injections, or calling it racist.
Actually, there's a better term than "Woke," which made them shriek way louder back when they had far less contested power.
Cultural Marxist. Time to dust off that old term, it's way more self-explanatory because everyone sees this ostensibly paradoxical situation of capitalist institutions engaged in something that's "Marxist" in every way but economic.
You don't even need to know the background with the Frankfurt School and such. It's a good enough term when taken at face-value, as it distances you from the vibes of boomers who've never left the Cold War, while at the same time highlighting that there's something extreme and sinister about these people.
Couldn’t agree more on ALL points.

Fuck them. Keep saying it

Disagree.
