Default 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
