People like jordan peterson and joe rogan, who are terrified of the "alphabet brigade", and rant about it constantly to an audience of millions while claiming to be victims of censorship, are making it their raison d'etre to wage war against the activities of marginalized and oppressed groups in defending themselves. That's what those scary acronyms LGBT and BLM are really about. "Wokeness" can be cringy but the core of it is simply the assertion of equal rights for fellow humans. The forms this assertion takes change over time with culture and language, sometimes in messy ways. The current manifestation does things that still feel goofy and unnecessary to me, like stripping out the female pronouns from Rupaul's Drag Race after season 6, or whatever. But so what? The important part is that large groups of people not suffer needlessly from the inertia of savage history. People who've been fighting desperately to overcome the brutality of institutionalized racism and homophobia and transphobia are bound to get a little angry and uncivil, gosh, even cringy, during their struggle to be treated fairly. I think straight white guys can deal, and spend some time talking about more important things like climate change. If your life's work is to complain about wokeness, get a hobby for chrissake.
