Off Topic What is a woke thing?

As I'm clearly not particularly bright, I was wondering whether members of the 'anti-woke' folk could enlighten me by offering up 3 things that they consider to be 'woke'.

I only ask because I've found it difficult to do so, and figured that there are plenty on here with strong views in that direction, who will surely have plenty to say on the matter.

Ready, steady, go...

 

Asking what's a woke thing.

 

Ready, steady, soon locked.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

beat me to it haha

 

I'll bite as I'm having a ****ing **** day....

Allowing men to participate in women's sport / allowing men into womens toilets, changing rooms etc and automatically labelling people who don't agree with it.

Automatically labelling someone far right just because they don't agree with your more liberal view

Cancel culture

 

I’d say generally things that seem over exaggerated, doesn’t make sense, seems stupid in the overall context of life!

 

FFS. Define 'cancel culture' and give some examples of someone who's been unfairly 'cancelled'.

 

Jane can work it out...

 

Is this a woosh or for real?
On the off chance it's for real, I can't believe in all seriousness that anyone is asking such a question, I'll say JK Rowling as just 1 high profile case. Insane, just for defending biological reality and millions of years of evolution.
World gone mad.
Anyway, probably a good job it isn't pre-season or an international break and we have a game tonight to move on to.

 

Hope you have a better day tomorrow Howden

 

Roy "chubby" Brown has had multiple concerts cancelled due to venues deciding ( after initially booking him ) to pull the venue after people complained about him and his shows.

I don't like his comedy, but I also wouldn't expect others not to pay to see him if they want and go out my way to make venues cancel the show.

Edit....someone beat me to that one.

 

The trans issues are complex, certainly.

It's only the same as labelling others as woke for anything and everything, isn't it?

The phrase 'cancel culture' only seems to include those who are considered as being 'woke' as it's perpetrators, when that is far from the case. That one is null and void in my view.

 

Cheers, just one of those days mixed with being absolutely knackered

 

It's now just become a cover all insult used by MAGA types and their international affiliates against people they don't agree with. It's lost any specific meaning.

Edgelords in particular love to use it.

 

This woke stuff has been around for years now, surely there are thousands of examples??

 

Ok I'll give you another one.... Thinking you can identify as a cat / lama / or anyone of the made up genders

 

The identity stuff appears to have a big connection in those who have/will likely receive a diagnosis for Autism. Identity can be a real struggle for them, as they look to find their place in the world. Nothing woke about that.

 

The simple answer to those who try to push those boundaries at school is to explain that this is a school we teach boys and girls not animals, get out.

 

Don't knock it, this thread could be cathartic for some. Those with bulging veins may find it useful for venting their various frustrations with the world.
