The backlash to woke culture - which is championed by annoying, politically correct, judgemental, authoritarian, censorious, hypocritical self-anointed masters of the universe - is reaching a crescendo.
Last week we noted how Disney punted it's Snow White remake into 2025 as Southpark destroyed them for woke casting in general.
JUST IN: New South Park episode blasts Disney and says all their movies “suck now” and specifically blames Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.

Remarkable.

Also last week, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) signed an executive order eliminating 'woke, anti-women words' from state government use.
There's even a "get woke go broke" ETF in the works, an 'anti-woke AI chatbot', oh - and the fact that forcing woke trans culture down the throats of Bud Light consumers has killed the brand.
In short, corporations have realized that going woke is killing profits.
To that end, on Monday, Twitter owner Elon Musk declared "The great wakening from woke has happened," which he says is "good for civilization."
The great wakening from woke has happened. This is good for civilization.

When asked if Southpark had been a factor, Musk replied: "It is the bellwether."

The richest man in the world didn't stop there! As Summit News notes:
The word “cis” is a heterosexual slur. Shame on anyone who uses it.

Yeah, obviously a slur too

Naturally, the woke crowd in the replies were not happy:
Bullshit.

Reeeeee!
If woke means that you are concerned about another person's welfare & safety & if you want them to have equal access to healthcare and you want everyone to be treated equally while given the best chance possible for them to pursue life, liberty & happiness then I'm woke AF 😊

@elonmusk - your “anti-woke” campaign, is nothing more than Clickbait. I’ll give it to you, it is effective. But, you are not fooling anyone into thinking that, by promoting ideological division, you are somehow unlocking the doors of “free speech” on this platform. You have…

Musk has long spoken out against what he describes as “the woke mind virus,” but it appears he now believes the worm has turned.
Musk previously described wokeness as “one of he biggest threats to modern civilisation,” adding “At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people… a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue.”
