It's hard. There's a webcomic I follow that I feel this way about, when woke or "queer" nonsense is sprinkled into it on occasion. But I still like the comic overall so try to ignore those parts. The consolation I get from it is that woke shit is so bad - and I mean in the sense of being unrealistic, preachy dialogue that no human has ever said in real life, virtue signaling garbage - that someday, when the fad ends, the creator will be forced to see what they did to their own work. It won't hold up well, and the cringe and the embarrassment they'll be left with - even if never acknowledged publicly - will be punishment enough, in my mind.

Assuming that it's just their content that's effected and they're not actively supporting organizations like Mermaids. They deserve worse than simple embarrassment for that. Tax audits for donating to fake charities, at the least. Public shaming and condemnation. Etc.

This is how the US got Trump, in my opinion.

People my age and slightly younger were indoctrinated with our generations' version of WOKE in our schools and by popular culture, and then, after decades, realized that a lot of what we were taught is just a load of crap, and that we've been brainwashed, and we look for someone who just says what they think and doesn't mouth tired platitudes, even if we don't agree with them.

Sadly, that man was the fucking idiot, Don the Con. And here we are...

Completely agree. I can remember before the election listening to Trump and thinking that, while I hated and disagreed with everything he said, I understood exactly why he was gaining popularity. It's this garbage, 100%, people are sick of it and even an idiot seems like the better alternative.

At least Trump knows that women are real and not a magical "identity" or feeling in a man's head.
