I know it ruins the joke to ask, but is this a satire page?
Do people unironically still use the word “woke”?

    It’s a satire community now, regardless if it was before or not. Based on the mods profile, I think he was serious. It’s hard to tell though.

        Hey, I’m always happy when right wingers lose something.

          You don’t need to be right wing to think sometimes the pendulum swings too far to the left.

            On a scale from “workers own everything” to “capitalists own everything” I think we’re not in much danger of moving very leftwards at any point in the near future.

            Frankly, there’s not much farther right you can go. We’ve already got multiple forms of slavery to extract worker value for the capitalist trough, and rampaging fascism threatening to take over the public sphere to enrich them further.

              Ah yes, the ‘woke’ economy I keep hearing about.

              I was referring to the recent trend of gender/race swapping characters in media solely for the sake of diversification and inclusion.

                God forbid our media accurately represents the diverse society we live in, eh?

                  I don’t have an issue with that. I take issue when stuff is shoe-horned in that makes no sense for the plot or the character just to satisfy diversity. Having an incredibly diverse cast made perfect sense for a show like “The Expanse”, and it was better for it. Rebooting an old IP and changing the main character from a white male into a black lesbian just to check off some boxes makes zero sense at all.

                  Go on being the poster child for why subs like this get created though.

    common sense and non-woke

    It’s a joke.
