People keep making this claim, claiming Blizzard is going to go under because they are supposedly “woke” now due to the changes to the game. I do not believe in the “gEt WokE, gO bROkE” mantra that is commonly regurgitated by some people, I also do not believe Blizzard is “woke”. Although, I’m not really sure being “woke” is a bad thing anyway. Nobody can seem to give any real world examples of something that went woke and got broke.
Blizzard changing things for the better of the game and community is a good thing, it’s not detrimental to the game. World of Warcraft has lost some subscribers but I suspect they’ll soon return with 9.2 and especially 10.0.
The terminally online people that believe there is a culture war happening between regular people and “the woke” aren’t interested in facts.
Easily repeatable slogans and memes are the best they can do. I’m sure you can find instances of “go woke go broke”, but you can easily find instances of the opposite of woke going broke as well.
People are getting too offended. Lady I rent office space to, been there for years, walked into our copier room. Saw a silly comic that had been there for years that my staff member put there. Everyone in the office has seen it and finds it funny.
All of a sudden it offended her. She just takes it off the wall and rips it up.
Like, first of all, that’s not your property. Why in the world do you think you can walk around my office throwing stuff away.
Woke woke
Definition: when someone was once woke but realized that being woke only creates the system they complain about. More racism, more segregation, more censorship, more deceit and lies. When you finally realize this you are then woke woke.
Hello, I see you made a thread about going woke. While I’m not sure it’s possible to definitively link going “woke” to going broke, there does seem to be a rather fascinating connection with poorly written, directed, and developed forms of media created by people that are “woke” and those poorly written, directed, and developed forms of media not doing well financially! Is it because the media is “woke” or is it because “woke” people aren’t good at making entertaining forms of media? I’m not sure but it’s a fun question to ask!
