Sure. And there are plenty of attempt to demonize words and phrases from the left. You have not proven that this has affected me in any way. I have reached the position that the overly woke crowd is worthy of scorn and ridicule based on their actions and not based on what others are saying. I generally don’t scour the internet looking for the opinions of others on matters where I can reach a determination myself.

I think that’s a “you” problem and not a “me” problem

I think the overly woke white people are a problem because of things I observe, not because some media outlets I don’t even watch tell me it’s a problem. I generally think that you are better off doing your own thinking rather than letting others do your thinking for you.
