      You can’t say “it’s not popular in the way I deem popular and only i care about popularity” and say “I’m contributing to the conversation at hand that has zero to do about popularity of a word”

      I’m more than happy distracting you from talking to other people in this thread, you aren’t contributing

        Yes, because you are the only saying it and contextualizing that way, getting upset, and hurling insults, all because I’m pointing out they brought it into popular culture. Yes, it was a slang term within certain movements, how is that “contributing to the conversation at hand” when my comment was about how popular it is now?

        Hitler also brought the toothbrush mustache and the Hinduism swatiska symbol for well-being and good luck. They both had plenty of benign usage before Hitler brought them infamy.

        Maybe you are so upset because you think the same is going to happen to the term “woke”, but I would argue that any negative intent is added to such a flimsy facade that it’s not really going to matter, people are just going to be ok with it. It’s easy for something to shed the negative connotations when the MAGA are outing themselves at their true intent of the words.

        Your insecurities are making you act abusively, and now you seem to be acknowledging your trolling and using it as a justification for this sort of behavior. You don’t care about contributing to the conversation, nor do you care about following the community’s rules. Sir, this is a Wendy’s subthread about the rise of popularity of something in a Comic Strips community.
