i really rather people just stop trying to redefine aave.
It sucks because I like woke, not jokingly I think it's a cool term and I still associate it with smart people.
i agree! plus i know some people that still use it with the original meaning which is "aware of injustice". there are lots who refuse to allow white conservatives to change the way they talk.
I prefer enlightened
I want trans people to own the means of production of tanks to protect their vegan cannabis farms.

The other day at a job skills development center or whatever, I mentioned that I was into conlanging, right? And right away it was the same ol' spiel about "Oh, like Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings? Are you a fantasy writer?".
And one bozo says, "Hey, you should write, like, an anti-woke fantasy book! That would be super cool!"
And I immediately reply, "Oh no, I'm gonna make the wokest fantasy of all time!"
And the bozo replies, "Oh, well, then I'm not gonna read it."
And I say with a laugh, "Well I don't need your approval, man!"
โIt was a small thing, but it felt good to snap back at him, because he'd been saying crap like that for weeks. The whole place has a real problem with this sort of reactionary "frat boy culture".
(Note: the story takes place in a former colony that recently ended its apartheid rule, and there are at least six trans-equivalent characters when including background worldbuilding, one of whom is in fact the main character of the story. So it is in fact the type of shit that would give a conservative an aneurysm.)
Go ahead lemmy libs, report this thread for violence.
would be funny, the report goes to me anyway lol

Too many fascist bone shards in tank treads means maintenance down the line. Browning and Kalashnikov gave us .22s for a reason.
Wankie? Toke?
Wank and Toke
I maintain that 'woke' started cool, is cool today, and has never stopped being cool
