    These days it seems like most things getting called “woke DEI crap” are totally in line with the norms of society, but someone wants to change that.

      the moment maga calls something woke… I embrace that game/tvshow/movie/book. they all turn out to be pretty good (other than a few gacha games)

        99% of what you hear people like that accuse others of is pure protection. They’re telling you what they want to do without realizing it, so “woke agenda trying to brainwash our kids!” could be translated into “we want to brainwash kids toward our ideology.”

          I remember a coworker saying something about trans people and how we can’t say anything anymore because it all has to be about them or something. I never got the impression this person was bigoted. It seemed completely out of character. I said something like (“They just want equal rights and the same respect as you and I. What’s the issue?”) Maybe people should worry more about weather or not their kids are learning the life skills they need to survive and less about weather or not their kids see two dudes kissing in a movie. Mom and dad need to untighten their buttholes. Even if I don’t understand something, I try to be empathetic and understanding to those who are different from me. I wish everyone else did.
