if the first half of the 2020s was “woke 1” then yall dont know how crazy woke 0.5 was. I was on tumblr in the mid-late 2010s and holy fuck. You haven’t seen woke till youve seen multiday discourse on if the words “idiot” or “stupid” are ableist or not.
2020-2024 wasn’t woke enough but that’s not a conversation yall are ready for

Kinda attribute that time to what’s made me immune to the whole “leftist gets annoyed by other leftists” phenomenon. No matter how bad it gets now it’ll never be “claiming all sex between men and women is actually abuse bc we live under the patriarchy” bad again

pls dont remind me. omfg. like im “woke” but that was ridiculous. we got some cultural awareness out of that era but we lost soooo much credibility in how ppl took it too far. which is why “woke” is now an insult🫩

i feel grateful that at least ppl are calling it out now. like. the “im a nb 1/8 cherokee lesbian and i need 20,000 for a new place to live bc my roommate got mad at me for pissing on the floor in my dog fursona” WAS real and im so glad we’re calling bs on stuff like that now bc sensitivity and empathy is important but WAYYY too many ppl took it too far and demonized anyone trying to call out bigoted shit
