Not the downvoter - but I’m guessing it was for using the term ‘woke’ - a derogatory term that is so often used lazily to excuse racism, homophobia or misogyny by people who don’t want to engage in discussion.
- hyperhopper 4y agoThat's true, 60% of the time that's the case. Though also how else do you describe things like the new Velma show, that just try to cram as many progressive causes/jokes/viewpoints into a piece as possible while making sure to have nothing that strays from that pattern? Sure saying "wow series X is woke because a character is gay which means it's pandering and sucks" is lazy, but at a certain point there is a point where it's useful to have a word to categorize this phenomenon.
