Fox News now accusing Scrabble of being too “woke”
Fox News now accusing Scrabble of being too “woke”
The game doesn't allow racist and anti-LGBTQ+ slurs?!? WOKE.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm confused. Isn't the base rule of the game "if it's in the dictionary then it's allowed, and if it's not in the dictionary then it isn't"?
How is the game woke?
dickti... discu... disjona... wordbook woke.
I know I should be getting the joke on this one but sadly I'm missing it.
They're mimicking someone who's trying to say the word dictionary but ironically lacks the diction to articulate it and instead says 'wordbook'
It is humorous because of the implication that extreme right wingers ala Fox news and it's viewers are illiterate hillbillies. They're not. They're just insane.
Yup that should have been obvious to me. Thank you
Basically the old Porky Pig cartoon character
Some, I assume, are good people.
Those ones are among the worst category. Needlessly deluded by bad actors acting badly, to the extent there's nothing we can do to change it.
They have to choose to notice they're being lied to.
You can still be an illiterate hillbilly AND be insane.
I posted this elsewhere in the thread. Apparently the N-word was only banned from tournament play four years ago. I shit you not. So I guess that's what they're mad about.
Not that I like that word but the only rules we run by is literally if it's in the dictionary "Websters" then it's allowed. But it's interesting that the tournament has banned it, but not surprising.
There is an official Scrabble dictionary that tournaments go with. They can put in and take out whatever they want. They could have taken it out a long time ago.
