It seems you should be directing that question to the person who thinks its only about anti racism or do you think that too?

In this day and age can anyone really blame YC for dodging the question? It is going to upset so many whatever definition is used. It is one of those “can’t win” questions. I’d dodge it myself in any kind of public forum (mr). Just not worth the agree to open the can of worms.

In fairness i think it means other social injustices too,like LGTBQ+ rights.

What I don't understand is how that is supposed to be a bad thing

But of course to certain mindsets it is

People who use not-being-racist/homophobic as an insult or as if it's a negative trait, are probably not people whom have anything interesting to say.

But it is funny to poke fun at them.

Assuming you avoid answering this too so I'll say woke has 1 meaning and the context in which it is used is exactly what we are talking about.

If its being used as an insult that says a lot about the person saying it

Trivial tories, but then again everything the tories love doing is talking trivialities. Mountains out of molehills is what they do best, it’s a distraction tactic from the sheer incompetence they don’t want us to see.

Not as bad as the stupid SNP! Latest TV advert “61 percent of young people have been period shamed”. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! 1, 61 percent OF young people are NOT female. 2, only females menstruate. The SNP are incapable of telling the truth. Though I agree with the sentiment that period shaming is totally unacceptable, tell the truth, 61 percent of young females have been period shamed, if that is the accurate percentage.

Attacking the trans community isn't hugely brave.

"Let's just say not everyone is as brave as JK Rowling

Depends if you see that as brave, I don’t!

Many people downright hate what she said. I personally have some concerns and would love to have a debate on the topic. But she went ahead and posted her opinions despite repeated backlash. That's bravery in any language.

Attacking the trans community isn't hugely brave.

She's got a history of it too. "

When did she attack the trans community? Did she ever say that all trans people are X, Y or Z? She raised concerns about certain regulations/rules which could be problematic. I don't think that's an attack on the trans community itself.

Have your opinion, I’ll have mine. Given that trans people are the most at risk group I will never support language that seeks to inflame and attack an already hugely at risk group.

Of course, you have the right to not speak speak about it. My initial post was about bravery. I don't think bravery is subjective. Honestly speaking her mind even after all the events that happened is bravery by definition. She is one of those rare celebs who refused to bow down to the online mob.

And I don't think she seeked to inflame or attack trans community. It's not like otherwise normal people saw her tweet and decided to attack trans people.

"People who use not-being-racist/homophobic as an insult or as if it's a negative trait, are probably not people whom have anything interesting to say.

But it is funny to poke fun at them. ahh is that what woke us then poking fun at people ?

Here's the definition of "woke" for you:

"alert to injustice in society, especially racism."

only thing I don’t get is why especially racism?

No idea why. It's just the definition of the word."

its the especially the racism bit that confused me
