DISCUSSIONWhat foreign descriptions of woke have you heard?

submitted by GrilledTofuIdentifying as a block of tofu from self.TumblrInAction

For example, the Chinese 'white left' Bai Zhuo and the Japanese 'Porikore'. White Left describes itself, and Porikore is portmanteau of Political Correctness. There's also 'Twifemmi' in Japanese short for 'Twitter feminist'.

What other foreign terms do you know?

In my native language we call it "genderyzm".

Yes, that word was Polish. Just a translation of “genderism”.

In addition, there are “Twitter Julias” (twitterowe Julki; plural of Julia, name given to many girls and popular in some young generations; denotes wokeism trends prevalent on Twitter etc.)

I also think “groomer” is slowly getting more popular there, as well as “lefties” (this can be used for any far-left individuals; or even by hardcore conservatives who don’t like anyone leaning to left in any way). However, “lefties” (lewaki) is used to call really crazy groups.

There are also classic words from English like feminazi, political correctness as a way to describe something etc.

the best foreign description iv heard of wokeness is pathetic. However it wasn't really a foreign description. And I'm the one who said it not someone else.
