The implicit assumption that tends to come across from folks that complain about “wokeness” with a straight face (eg people mad about video game character design) is that white supremacy, xenophobia, bullying etc. happen at a rate in society such that these phenomenon should be considered so acceptable that there is no rightful place to even use the “woke” words other than very occasional whispers behind closed doors.
Sometimes people that share this view will start with their personal opinions on these topics and then with backwards to try and create a mathematical or scientific justification. The result is often a substack full of charts that say stuff like “The y axis (wokeness) exploded under Obama” and/or quotes from Arthur Jensen.
