No one would think twice if this document contained something truely offensive or hateful and the maintainers refused to remove it. But the fact is people have taken this so far to the point that it’s not a means to an end, it’s a hobby. And now we have harmless jokes being taken down.

- DubiousPusher 6y agoYeah, I'm not citing this circumstance as a quality case. But the OP connected this to the general wokeness narrative. And while I have very ambivalent feelings about the current rash of performative indignation, I think it's important to point out that such pearl clutching and scandal is not new and has functioned to change society in ways most people probably agree with (i.e. the decline of tacit sexual harassment and casual racism).
