Woke wasn't always a stupid word, it was just coopted by stupid people.

If you first heard it come from the mouths of right wing pundits do yourself a favor and read up on the history. It's good to understand how language is co-opted.

In the meantime, if I see anyone else calling people here "woketards" they can go sit in the corner.

It's not transphobic though.
Actually, it is, it's textbook. And it's not welcome in our forum. You can think whatever you like, speak your mind on things, and if it's against our guidelines we'll show you the door. Twitter can do that too, as can any other website. How they choose to enforce their own rules is their business, how Elon will change things is his, but as long as I have a say in it here I won't tolerate that kind of bigotry.

Couldn't care less who you voted for in the last election, what kind of milk or nut juice you put on your cereal, if your hair is blue or you're totally bald, if you like cats or dogs or can't stand pets.

But in our forum you will respect people's basic humanity. Straight, gay, trans, non-binary, whatever works for you, it's okay here. If you can't handle that then you're welcome to go away.

Please note that the guy you just banned just registered a new account here and admitted it. Terminate with prejudice.

Yes yes, I saw it, it's deleted, and I had to edit a bunch of people who quoted it already.

Please, don't give these sad little snowflakes attention by responding to their tantrum. I will simply delete their account and one stupid post and life will go on like they were never here. And if they keep doing it I will keep deleting them, because I am paid to do it and will happily do my job, and they're the losers with no life wasting their time.
