Woke Is Overused and Confusing

[Goblin]

Woke has lost all meaning, and the definitions aren't even consistent at this point. The original definition was meant to be progressive, but now it's not used that way anymore. It's a condemnation to whatever is labeled as woke.

In some cases I can kinda see it, there is a lot of companies that pander to a demographic that they don't even really care about and just want the money. But it's used so overzealousy that you can basically call anything you don't like woke.

also can be used in a discriminatory way, just look at Twitter. Whenever there is someone that isn't white man in a game gets labeled as woke.

Not to say that everyone that uses "woke" is a racist, because it has so many uses. It's also another version of "bad" at this point, what's the actual criticism of the game? All your going to get is that "it's woke" rather than an actual criticism of why they don't like the game.

If you tell someone to define woke at this point, your going to get a bunch of different responses on what it is.

No, I'm not, I don't even know you

Could you define woke?

[Stakanov]

Honestly, it does feel like it’s become just another way to say "bad" without much thought behind it. It’s frustrating because instead of hearing real critiques about a game or show, we’re stuck with people just calling it "woke" without explaining why that’s an issue. And yeah, the way it gets applied on Twitter can be pretty ridiculous, with anything outside the norm being dismissed as "woke."

Nice try, but 'deal with it' isn’t a valid argument. If you can’t explain why you dislike something beyond that, maybe you’re just parroting what others say without actually thinking for yourself.

Maybe focus on actual reasoning instead of trying to sound tough...

Bro calm down.

Everyone using the word woke that bothers you is using it properly. I can tell you that much.

The point isn't clear what they are referring to due to multitool nature of the word. It's a one size fits all buzz term

No that's just your cope logic. People know what it means and use it properly. You getting mad they used the word doesn't make it invalid.

Anti-woke are getting as annoying as the woke. It's all gotten too much. Both sides need to back down.

A step back would be a good start, the political enviroment has been pretty insane for the past decade. Unfortunately I think things will keep escalating as long as outrage is profitable.

Wow how insightful.... Profit motive does it again I guess ...

That's exactly it, the same childish mentality.

Diversity = anti white and asian racism and hotphobia against women

Equity = an impossible state of being that can be exploited by buerocrats into an infinite money pit to attain equity, but can't hence infinite money glitch

Envirnment = an excuse to grab resources and lock away to artificially increase value of said resources

Woke = a mind virus that can disable basic human brain function to prevent noticing the above

Hopefully that helps clears up why people mad and you not noticed why they mad. They seeing what you're not

[Namsan]

Those guys nowadays declare any video game character who isn't white or heterosexual "woke" or "DEI", it's so funny and sad.

Asians aren’t white. If you’re claiming diversity is ‘anti-white,’ then you’re ignoring the fact that Asians, along with many other non-white groups, are also part of that ‘diversity’ you’re complaining about.
