I just realized that I can't recall ever hearing the term "woke" being used in a non-derogatory sense. But language is fluent. Words change meaning over time depending on how people use them. I don't see a need to cling to some original definition.
I don't see a need to cling to a definition either. I just recognize that it is absolutely fucking disgusting to take a word from another language that means something nice, and then start using it to not just say something benign but to pervert it to mockery.
There is a serious error in the brain of anyone who would do that.
I don't demand it be undone. I just recognize that the people doing it are acting attrociously.
