'Problematic' - calling card of the Ultra Woke?

87 replies

Freespeecher · 21/04/2019 10:18

Whenever I read an article which has some kind of thought or behaviour described as 'problematic', it's inevitably a giveaway that the Ultra Woke want something they class as 'wrongthink' to be banned, shut down or otherwise expunged as it represents an unwelcome detour from the One True Path?

Do others agree? And are there other such phrases that set the Spidey Sense tingling?

A lot of these teeth grinding phrases are used in the home ed community. It's made me think I need to seek out some school mums for a refreshing dose of sanity and normality Grin

Have to say I rather liked this one. Remember, leopards don't change their spots. Wink

Self crit. As in "you need to self crit".

I know I'm about to be woked at when I see a bad syllogism

Oh yes.

This one would get me thrown out of woke circles.

The most annoying for me is 'educate yourself'. Its a bit daft really, because once people do educate themselves they tend to turn GC fairly quickly. All it takes is a bit of research rather than blinging parroting TWAW. Once people actually think properly, they realise its a mens sexual rights movement basically. Thats not a slur against transsexuals living their lives btw. But the 'movement' as it is now, is all about the men. And their fetishes in many cases.

'Erasing' and 'silencing' when used in the context of an actually well- intentioned liberal meeting/organisation that had failed to be utterly perfect and think of every single barrier to every single characteristic a person may have and is therefore castigated as terrible and useless and 'just white a middle class'. I know white middle classness can be shit and dominate things, but Jesus guys, let people fucking try before you shoot them down in flames for being oppressors.

No wonder the popular Right Wing keeps coming on top - they don't have to worry about inclusive language and accessibility. Which are things people should think about, but not things people should be crucified for not considering perfectly when they are at least trying to improve things.

"comfortable"
"supporting"
"honouring"
"your pronouns"
"vulnerable"

I just found all of these repeatedly especially "comfortable" in this very woke, very patronising gentle article aimed at educating us backward people still "struggling" on the wrong side of history:

I honestly don't want to mock this very fragile person but... I'm just putting it out there so you know.

The comments are really quite something.

I went looking for a "woke language" generator. I had fun looking! One of the closest is
Bullshit generator for corporate guff
and
this for specifically New Age bullshit

I like those MrsTigs

We so need to get our own woke one!

MsTiggywinkletoyou · 22/04/2019 23:34

You're in luck, WeRiseUp - look what I found:
perchance.org/welcome
Perchance is a platform for creating and sharing random text generators. To create a random generator you simply create lists which reference other lists

Does anyone fancy the challenge of creating a woke version?
