Is Woke overused?
 

After seeing people cry woke over the GTA 6 news (GTA could never be woke since you can go around shooting and beat up people) just feels anything these days is called woke when it's really not. People have issues with POC and LGBT getting TV/Film roles and it's called woke because the cast isn't all white.

It's harder for folks to come out in favour of bigotry, so it's easier for them to attack those that do. It's a word used only for culture war purposes. To be fair, it's been a successful campaign for them.

James O Brien is obsessed with it on LBC mainly because it exposes him

It seems it really winds a certain type of person up :shrug:

Something you both have in common :love:

Its russian made

It doesn’t even mean anything at this point, people who attack ‘woke’ are just people that lack any form of common decency and/or respect and find those that try to treat people with said decency and respect, intolerable, the ‘anti-woke’ brigade are nothing more than ignorant people intent on waging war on decency.

Nobody who’s ‘anti-woke’ will ever be able to tell you what woke really means or what it does and if they attempt to, you’ll get different answers from most of them.

It’s a made up boogeymen for people to justify their own bigotry and lack of empathy and compassion for other humans

The russians and chinese are winning.

Rishi Sunak called it "woke nonsense " and said “leftwing agitators” were destroying British values

SO it really belongs to the hard left and the way they behave. Id take it up with them

i hate it

words like ''woke'' and ''cancel culture''


as if being against racism is a bad thing

it's a term used when people think there is too much interference with normal social interaction. We are not robots, some people would like it if we were

Ah, like when gay people are cast as characters on tv, that sort of interference to normal social interaction

Or when there are black families used in adverts, that really seems to interfere with peoples’s normal social interaction judging by the reaction is gets from anti-wokies

Heaven forbid a woman gets given the job to talk about football, that REALLY interferes with normal social interaction

no, of course not

just don't be racist or sexist or homophobic, don't be any of these evil things

also dont forget misogynistic

Yes in GTA6
they could have a Woke Officer
to send you on a course
after Pistol whipping a Government worker
outside the Woke Building
And No weapons in that building.


I would have to find a Pen
to stab his eye.

Then escape
on the Run.


TS may get shocked with that

Then get a shot gun and come back and finish him off

take that woke-boy

In that building woke training
no guns/weapons appear
that gets locked in.

Armed guards are outside

get a police helicopter and drop down a wire inside armed with a Combat MG II

then wipe them out floor by floor until you hit the ground floor

They also need a Lesbo Hit Women Enemy
in GTA6


Please note : it is fine to be a Lesbian

No, the Woke Training Building on GTA6
would be like when you walk into the Tattoo
place in GTA5
All your weapons go.

There's some woke posts in this thread.

I think it's similar to the term Mary Sue - both have actual and valid uses, but both are waaaay overused. I'd say the same about terms like "incel" or "alt right" to be fair. And, ironically, it's gotten to the point where someone who uses one of the first two terms (validly or not) gets branded with one of the latter two :joker:

or Karen

Personally I hate terms like woke & PC as they do get overused imo.

And when it comes to GTA VI, personally I don't care what the lead is as long as the character is well written, my biggest issue with GTA VI is the report about the Game being more dry on the humour front, because to me the satire in GTA franchise makes it standout from say the Mafia franchise for example.

And when it comes to TV, again I have no issue with non-white Actors getting roles in Shows, for me personally though I do wish that TV Writers/Producers wouldn't just cast people because of one attribute though.

My most obvious five I'm gonna use at the moment as I'm currently watching them are these five characters.

Rountree (NCIS: LA) It's taken nearly two Seasons just to know what one of his personal interests are, and I don't blame the Actor I blame the writers who had no vision for the character other than the fact that they wanted a young black Actor in the programme, and that's all it was imo.

Rajan (CSI: Vegas) Apart from her ship with Folsom, she has minimal involvement in the Show in other areas imo, and again I think that was because the Show didn't think past wanting an English character in the programme, which is a problem because it leaves a hollow character in the Show just because she's English.

Folsom (CSI: Vegas) Anyone watching the return of CSI: Vegas will laugh at me because he is a young white American character, but ironically he is a token because he is the only one of that type in the programme, and again the writers don't really know what to do with him (again away from the ship with Rajan) and it shows that imo the writers had only thought of the aesthetic side of things rather than creating a brilliant character.

And then the last two I've had to check their names out on IMDB because they're so under the radar.

Raines & Vo (FBI: International)

Basically yes some people do overuse the term woke, but characters like Rountree or the two from FBI: International aren't helping matters imo as they are getting more commonly made than say the iconic Benjamin Sisko from the Star Trek franchise.

My take on woke culture personally (maybe my definition is off here) is someone that's so far left that no sane person would want to interact with them.

That's my perception of what woke means to me, but I know what you mean, there are some people out there that think that black people being treated equally to white people is woke, which is just crazy in this day and age.

Cancel culture is a real issue in society imo.

It's a much bigger issue than someone being "woke" imo as peoples lives can be ruined by cancel culture, it's a disease that nobody is willing to fight back against.

Coincidentally, i remember running around with CJ hitting people with a double ended dildo. Those were the days.

Ahh sh1t, here we go again.

Now there is the SUPER WOKE

Non-binary transgender social justice warrior and author is CANCELLED by woke internet
mob and labeled a 'war criminal' after her job at defense giant Lockheed Martin was
exposed

• Author and trans activist Ana Mardoll, whose books have sold thousands of copies, was exposed as having worked at defense contractor Lockheed Martin
• Mardoll addressed the controversy saying that as a disabled person, Lockheed provided her with healthcare despite only working part-time
• As a result, Mardoll was subjected to a slew of abusive messages on Twitter, resulting in her deleting her account
• The person who doxxed Mardoll did so through a burner Twitter account that was set up for that purpose

A disabled trans activist and author was canceled by a super woke mob after
their job at defense contractor Lockheed Martin was revealed by a Twitter
user.

media buzzword to get the right wing triggered

i dont really hear people use this phrasing anymore

how nice

You should post more on here, every 2nd post seems to includes it :laugh:

Apparently GTA is being called "woke" because they removed some trans NPCs after people chimped out.

Isn't removing trans NPC's the opposite of woke?

Stop being woke.
