Replace the second panel red with “woke and gay”

that's why the word was invented, to replace the obvious intolerance for openness

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Hahahah that's what they want you to think. Woke is from like the 60s. Do some research on it. It's pretty interesting.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Actually in ancient etruscan...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

... person meant mask. If you call someone a person, you accuse them of playing a role. Fact.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

are you saying you're woke on the subject? I thought it was from rap culture.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

It's from black culture. You tell your friends to stay woke so that when the cops stop them for no good reason, they remember to treat the cop like a wild animal and be careful around them. If you're black and you treat a cop like a human being, you'll get shot. So you gotta stay woke.

So it doesn't mean awake anymore?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah he thinks it means whatever the fuck the American fat right media says it does.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Don’t you dare fix that typo.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah that's definitely going into my vocab now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Hahahaha no sir

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Especially when they get co-opted by Euro-Americans.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

It actually comes from African-American culture and has a history that's several decades old.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's why the word was co-opted by the Far Right, and popularised as an insult. Otherwise they'd have to say "kind".

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I still haven't looked into what "woke" actually means, but from what I can tell, it seems to mean anything far-right people don't like.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In left-leaning spaces it means "cognizant of the injustice pervading society". On the right it means "uppity".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

cognizant of the injustice pervading society

I mean that's what it means to people on the right also they just think that's a bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah, seems like "woke" is anything we're not supposed to approve of this month.

I do find the word "woke" incredibly useful.

The moment the word exits someone's mouth (as a complaint), I save a ton of energy on how to handle any further information they share (highly suspect).

Edit: I've actually discovered some great art and culture by being warned away from it's "wokeness", too.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

Hey buddy! I may be woke. And I may be gay! And... What was the third thing you called me?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Also there is no way the second dude isn't going. He's going and hes going to bs and eat and drink beer and belch, no matter who else is going to be there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

If it's anything like my brothers family they'll be the first ones in line for food and the first ones to leave too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

That’s probably being kind compared to what would be said if it actually were a problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is that this generations version of "fake and gay"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yup they think they are the open minded ones or whomever doesn’t immediately fall down to them and refer to their words as gospel as not open minded or interested in ‘a discussion’.
