    Your use of the word “woke” in this thread suggests that your ban from gaming discussions probably arises from others concluding you aren’t the kind of person they want to associate with.

    When Republicans’ lawyers actually have to define it under oath, here’s what they say:

    DeSantis’ general counsel, Ryan Newman, responded that the term means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

    Believing “wokeness” (as everyone defines it when they’re being honest) to be evil seems like a position that’s hard to support, at least without maintaining an intentional veil of ignorance.

      Wokeness unlike other words are only associated with bad stuff and doesn’t ever refer to any good part of the left-wing communities, you can identify more as a left guy and still don’t like wokeness no matter what groups you support as it is associated with racism, sexism, double standards coming from someone or some group or entity that supposedly defends equality. Still I don’t know what that has to do with a ring or a game community from a country that doesn’t even know what that term is about.

        I brought up the gaming because you mentioned in another thread thinking people banned you after you said reasonable things and I observed that it might have been a result of people seeing what you wrote in other places.

          Unfortunately or fortunately that’s not what happened. I don’t know if that would be any better cause they would at least be reading more things other people say before freaking out for people not liking their political agenda but also would show they’re maybe even more futile.

            When you say “political agenda” do you mean, “people trying to be treated fairly and other people trying to prevent that”? I suppose that is technically a political agenda.
