Looks like you were, indeed, triggered by that.
Comment on The mist Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke

Its not woke. If its been around for awhile, its not woke. Woke words are new made up words or words used in a context to prove a progressive point.
“Trigger” is a woke word when you say “Im so triggered by that”. However in this context “Johnny, do not pull down that lever, it will trigger the breaker box” is not woke.

“Woke” is just another word to use to describe something that isn’t conservative enough. There is nothing temporal about it these days.
If you think a word or action is bad, it’s “woke”. The word to describe someone who is not conservative enough is “librul”.
The actual definitions or proper context does not matter to people who just parrot what they hear.

How long do you think the word woke, with any of the definitions (specifically the original), has been in use?
thecam@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I do not know. I first heard the term back around 2019 I believe and I always used an “urban dictonary” dedinition

Uh, no…
Woke Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.
