    You can remove “without”. Everyone knows what you mean when you call something woke.

    Edit. Anyone that’s downvoting is more than welcome to explain exactly what woke “really means”. Seriously, we’d love to finally hear a definition from you.

    Edit2. One person, who didn’t even downvote, out of 8 10 people has left a reason for downvoting. Are people really that afraid to explain yourselves?
    Cowards.

      I’m just downvoting because you think you’re entitled to a personal message from each person that downvotes you. xox

      I didn’t downvote, but read the sentence with “without” removed. It doesn’t make any sense and would need to be reworded to say whatever you’re trying to convey.

        Hmm yeah that’s fair. Not my best comment. It made sense in the moment, but you’re right.

        I stand by the rest of it though.

        Edit. Oh we got a down v on this comment but too afraid to talk! Come on guys, don’t be scared.

      what woke “really means”

      Empathetic, but for people who think that’s a bad thing.

      except people argue on whether or not something was “woke” all the time, so no i dont think people agree on a definition

        I have a feeling you don’t call anything woke though. The people that use the word to describe things are curiously silent when asked what it means.
