Woke basically means having empathy. More specifically I’d say it’s trying to make things less unfair for groups that aren’t treated fairly.
No wonder the conservatives treat it like an insult.
Woke literally means aware of systemic injustice, right? I mean originally. And SJW literally means someone who will fight for social justice (equity).
These are all objectively good things.
Wake up sheeple! But dont be woke…
The whole internet used to be woke, it was full of counterculture people, freaks and geeks looking for communities, the same people who were on BBSes the years before, it was a diverse group of weirdos on the fringes at the time.
I miss it still.
Not sure the whole internet was woke, the nazis and pedophiles have been here for quite a while too. But they were on the fringe and shunned by the larger internet culture until relatively recently. Trump started courting the votes of the worst side of the internet. Then the pandemic brought a bunch of “normies” online whose brains weren’t ready for the culture shock, and rather than accepting the freaks and geeks, they decided the nazis were the normal ones.
I miss the wild west days of the internet. Now it’s just instagram and facebook, with a lot of google sprinkled in there.
That and Nazis.
Dolphinsex.org: never forget.
In case you don’t know who she is, she’s the founder of Elementary OS
Pretty much everything good and decent is now “woke” lol. people say woke like it’s a bad thing but they’re just telling on themselves. proud to be woke
Much rather be woke than a sleeper.
There’s woke in being politically active and aware of social inequities and then there’s woke on capitalist social media which means basically nothing but attention-seeking virtue-signaling bullshit. You can be for one while calling out the other.
The latter is nothing more than a boogie man the anti-woke crowd is afraid of.
That didn’t even occur to me
This just makes me want to be even more woke and gay
I’m gonna wake up to gay porn on full blast every day and no one can stop me! Never gonna sleep again, I’ll be so woke!
Yassssss queen fuck it uppppppppp
So it once was, so it shall be
as someone who participates in the Arch forums/IRC etc…it’s been “woke and gay” for a long, long, time now. I mean shit if you don’t have your own pair of knee/thigh high socks are you even a real Arch user?
I was already woke and gay, but since I’ve moved to arch I’m trans and into anime.
Never forget Harambe
The negative sentiment will grow in paid media articles because corporations start to get hurt by something that was not a threat before. Something that they can’t fight with their tools like price dumping or lawyers.
FULLY AUTOMATED LUXURY GAY SPACE COMMUNISM !!!
Boggles my mind at how many people hate gay/bi people. I’d kill to be bi, imagine getting twice the shots of meeting your ideal person. Sign me the fuck up.
Naw you just end up getting rejected twice as much ಥ_ಥ
Damn, it’s the same picture
It’s a result of American brainrot. Once the world cuts off their toxic culture we’ll be better off.
Do you eet da poopoo?
E: Alright, random downvotes. I guess I need to link it?
Must’ve missed the comments that drove this response? Never heard of FOSS/Linux being woke.
Well it’s not technically the main focus of FLOSS, but consider that that it was invented to work around the failings of Capitalism. The whole idea of Software Freedom goes against the Capitalist ideals of “Put a price tag on anything and everything you possibly can”.
I think what has happened is that as more marginalized people have ‘woke’ to the fact that Capitalism is oppressing them just as much as the Patriarchy, the ‘Libre’ aspects of FLOSS has become more appealing to them.
It probably wasn’t the intention of Linus Torvalds to create ‘woke’ software, but by following the principles of the Free Software movement, he did it anyway. Though I think even he might be coming around :)
The right calls everything they hate or find threatening “woke” because they can’t use “Degenerate” anymore without people thinking back to High School History class.
