well, they’ve had euphemisms and dog whistles since forever, and the people who were direct with their bigotry are still direct with it. this could even be seen as a step back from outright bigotry, implying that some of these people are less comfortable expressing direct transphobia / racism / sexism with the understanding that they are in fact losing power
Why are you being downvoted?
because being against equal rights for people especially women’s and LGBT rights is still extremely bigoted, especially if it’s because you’re upset at the loss of power over those groups, whether or not they see themselves as bigots
Yeah, there’s nothing said about being against in the comment you’re replying to. Just that changing the term to woke is not necessarily bad. Where did you take that from?
