- jfengel 5y agoPretty much any post using the words "woke" or "signaling" is going to be toxic. The words are intended as synonyms for "hypocritical": "They don't actually mean this argument; they're only doing it to be seen." It's not just ad hominem, but also the way it comes out reflexively any time any issue of justice is brought up. (Along with "SJW", which I haven't seen as much lately; the terms of opprobrium go in and out of fashion.) That's where the toxicity lays: the instant dismissal of the topic without having to even reference the matter at hand. Viewed that way, you can see toxicity all over this thread, and all over any similar thread anywhere on the site. The tone is hostile before anybody has even begun to discuss the merits of the idea.
