Seriously triggered. What a laugh!
Well - every day is a triggered day for the perpetually and professionally aggrieved.
Calling people triggered is the new tactic to denigrate anyone who raises any issue.
Same as calling someone racist, xyzophobe. The woke left invented being actually triggered.
and calling people woke is not an attempt to denigrate?
your stupidity is astonishing.
Look, Johnny 'two planks*' Smith chips (!) in! And he's astonished.
Although first recorded in the nineteenth century in the literal sense of ‘awake, not (or no longer) asleep’, figurative use of woke has been traced back to 1962 in a glossary of ‘phrases and words you might hear today in Harlem’. This glossary accompanies a New York Times article titled ‘If you’re woke, you dig it’ by novelist William Melvin Kelley. In it he discusses the constantly shifting street slang used in urban African-American communities and provides the following definition of woke:
Well-informed, up-to-date, (‘Man, I’m woke’).
