Replace the second panel red with “woke and gay”

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 hours ago

Hey buddy! I may be woke. And I may be gay! And... What was the third thing you called me?

I still haven't looked into what "woke" actually means, but from what I can tell, it seems to mean anything far-right people don't like.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

In left-leaning spaces it means "cognizant of the injustice pervading society". On the right it means "uppity".

cognizant of the injustice pervading society

I mean that's what it means to people on the right also they just think that's a bad thing.

Yeah, seems like "woke" is anything we're not supposed to approve of this month.

I do find the word "woke" incredibly useful.

The moment the word exits someone's mouth, I save a ton of energy on how to handle any further information they share (highly suspect).

Edit: I've actually discovered some great art and culture by being warned away from it's "wokeness", too.

that's why the word was invented, to replace the obvious intolerance for openness

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Hahahah that's what they want you to think. Woke is from like the 60s. Do some research on it. It's pretty interesting.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Actually in ancient etruscan...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

... person meant mask. If you call someone a person, you accuse them of playing a role. Fact.

So it doesn't mean awake anymore?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah he thinks it means whatever the fuck the American fat right media says it does.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t you dare fix that typo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah that's definitely going into my vocab now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

are you saying you're woke on the subject? I thought it was from rap culture.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

It's from black culture. You tell your friends to stay woke so that when the cops stop them for no good reason, they remember to treat the cop like a wild animal and be careful around them. If you're black and you treat a cop like a human being, you'll get shot. So you gotta stay woke.

Also there is no way the second dude isn't going. He's going and hes going to bs and eat and drink beer and belch, no matter who else is going to be there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

That’s probably being kind compared to what would be said if it actually were a problem.
