When someone says “woke” I immediately assume that they have an opinion of the thing in question that they know will be seen as sexist, racist or -phobic in some way that if they said directly would get them called out on.

It’s just another cowards way of saying “I’m not racist but…”

Ten years ago it was called “politics”. Keep your women and non-Anglo Saxon politics out of my war games based on real world conflicts

Ten years before that it was “political correctness” when gamers weren’t allowed to use the n-word.

I don’t use it because it’s social suicide, but I think either everyone should be allowed to use it or no one should. But that’s like an opinion on USA tipping culture. You can have your opinions, just don’t exercise them unless you’re ready for trouble
