To those telling me to define woke you can do that yourself I would like to add that Tiktok went woke and it's on its way to being broke

More like Republicans threw a temper tantrum that another outlet against them exists.

@Aztex

So all of those older comic companies like Hamilton, Gold Key, Charlton and so on that went out of business. You telling me they got broke for being Woke even though some folded before the 90s?

Yes!!! Just like all the big corporations that the government has saved from bankruptcy they were all woke!!! I hope you're able to tell I'm being sarcastic. This might come to a surprise to you but it's possible to go broke from a lot of things.

Woke is a political slang adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination.[1]

Hmmm. Sounds like something only very specific types of people would hate and desire to turn it into a pejorative.

Words have different meanings for everyone regardless of the original context. It's how you say them and who you say it too as well.

Which is why people asked you to define it in your own words, yet you refused. Care to give it a go now that you agree everyone can have a different definition?

Then you shouldn't be so scared to share your interpretation.

Which is probably why you were asked how do you define it since clearly your definition appears to be different than the actual meaning.

Yeah, you clearly don't know what "woke" is.

you can do that yourself

Challenge was accepted and yet

So very odd. Refuses to define a word he wants to use as a pejorative, demands others do it themselves and when they do he tries to cry that it doesn't count because it's not the meaning he uses.

Despite refusing to share the meaning he's using.

Almost as if everybody already knows the meaning he wants to use.

That was a pretty hilarious self-own lol

To me it's like the gamefaqs moderation system. They have a TOS or whatever they call it now, everyone can read the rules but it's not specific at all. One day you get modded for posting YouTube videos another day you don't. You used to get modded for posting the word onlyfans but now you don't, we even had someone who posted onlyfLans and they still got modded even though that's not against the TOS.

For me I'm able to tell you that the worse sales ever for a PPV/PLE in WWE was Evolution which is a women's only ppv. It was only done because they went to Saudi Arabia where only the men competed and to make up for that they gave the women a ppv/ple. This was both good/bad because they would have to let the women compete in Saudi Arabia because making another women's only ppv would be a terrible business decision, since it wasn't successful and catered to a specific group which was women in this case, it is woke to me.

I wait for the results and then call it woke. I don't assume or give hypotheticals because that's how you end up being wrong like the examples given on previous posts. I'm neutral and wait for the results then call it woke.

If that's your concern you're doing a piss-poor job of mitigating it.

Go fash lose cash.

So many words only to ultimately avoid actually providing a definition.

So you don't actually know what woke means to you, other than you whining about women is what I'm getting from this.

I don't assume

Yet you assumed nobody else could define a word you still refuse to define.

All this and still can't define the word, huh? Lol

That's funny I can cut off posts to try and prove a point as well. That's like calling someone a liar after they say something like I'll give you $10 for free.....wait I lied I'll give you $1 million!!! then you scream - you're a liar!!!

The definition is explained in the long message that you either refuse to read or put together the message being said.

You never gave a definition and several of us quoted the entire thing. Why lie? Is this a humiliation fetish?

So you're outright admitting that woke is just whatever you want it to be to suit you.

That's not a definition of woke. That's just you deciding on whether it is or not depending on some arbitrary guidelines you have.

So yeah, you don't know what "woke" is.

Sounds about right for the crowd who cries "woke" at anything they don't like.

Always was. It's why he needed to deflect the need to define it to everybody else only to dismiss it when the work was done for him as he still refuses to actually define it.

The best he gives is "this thing wasn't successful and doesn't cater to me so it's woke" the very epitome of "everything I don't like is woke" while plenty of normal people ignore things that don't appeal to them.

It tracks. A lot of them gaslight us that they never said Miles Morales, Barbies, Yakuza, Mario movie, Baldur's gate 3, x men 97, the fallout show, God of war were woke due to them being succesful

Although at least give them credit for still whining about the last of us 2 and Spiderman 2

Voidgolem posted...

They have this fascinating way of moving the goalposts around and redefining things so that games that would traditionally be considered super "woke" aren't when they do extremely well.

Baldurs Gate, literally "frantic bi energy" the game, is "not woke" because *checks notes* "it doesn't jam that in our face". Or something. It is tiresome and stupid and I wish all vapid culture war grifters that talk about games a very fast trip directly into the sun

remember when hogwarts legacy was "anti-woke" and being made to spit in the face of the wokies, and fox news drummed up their audience to buy it to support jkr because of all the "boycotts" against it and then they all went absolutely radio silence after the game came out and was extremely trans friendly?

tiktok didn't "go woke" and it's not on its way to "being broke"

the campaign against tiktok is because it's owned by china (lol), and they can use it to manipulate the populace into voting for whoever china deems acceptable through propaganda (something we've seen them do since social media existed). the government is also against it because they can't have their own backdoor to it and manipulate it as they please like they already do with facebook, instagram, and twitter. (which is why the government has never cared about banning or forcing a different ownership for those three platforms.)

that's it. that's the entire reason why the current administration (the woke administration), and the previous one (the anti-woke maga administration) are against it.

I do so love the chuds' new tact of "no, you define 'woke!'" Tickles me every time.

It's genuinely hilarious, because it's really easy to do, and when you do, they either turn tail and disappear, or come back with a meaningless post like homie up there did and then turn tail and disappear.

I just love how they made video claiming "the wokes" were triggered by Cyberpunk while they spent months being triggered by the game due to the optional trans option

And Starfield. Where they lost their shit over a drop down menu you have to choose to interact with to change your pronouns away from the set it defaults to depending on the base model you chose.
