I have no strong feeling not strong attachment to what they are fighting against partly because of their "extremism", I know, I know, not the best take so far but I have my reasons.

For starters, my most hated thing of all, not just comicsgate, is the complete un-definition of what they say is "woke". All I would have liked is a complete deconstruction of what woke elements are present in the media being discussed, in order for me to understand why it is defined as woke, and why it is a problem for modern media. It's not as if I have not tried, I have asked and I try to initiate conversation to anyone I can find who may be open to being asked about it and explain it to an idiot and it still isn't clear enough. I think the most clear I've ever gotten was saying that I need to have experience in reading and enjoying and understanding stories, the hero's journey all that crap. I try too but I quit halfway through Star Wars, the OG ones. I mean Star Wars Episode 5.

I think that's my main problem with the current anti-woke crowd. They never define what they say and speak as if everyone understands what they're saying. Hell, I've probably dropped a few series I've enjoyed who many say we're woke, because for a while I've made it a habit to ask people if a certain show, movie or book I'm consuming is, by their definition, woke. I've the feeling that if I do not actively shun those these people consider as woke, I'll be left out.

I'll just end with some questions along with some statements which hopefully make me try understanding this thing for one last time.

I am Filipino, I grew up in a middle class family. I didn't know what LGBT or woke was till I was in my 3rd Year of college. My first internet experience was Facebook then followed by Pinterest which I've used for years before being introduced to Reddit by a close friend.

Pinterest informed my views on many things, I've developed on my own a disdain for LGBT stuff because of certain things I saw in the Tumblr screenshot posts that littered Pinterest.

My first book was Dan Brown's Angels and Demons and my first anime was Fairy Tail. I have never liked Neon Genesis Evangelion, I got bored of Cowboy Bebop and Monster.

I got into manga first and I still enjoy but I have recently become bored of it, and of Manhwa/manhua and currently am looking for comics worth reading, all pirated of course. My location and financial situation makes it difficult for me to purchase comic books and manga.

I have never experienced being discriminated against save for being the weird kid in high school.

Those are details I believe are relevant to my inability to fully grasp the concept. I guess Mr. Van Scriver was correct in saying that not many are able to grasp this concept in the first try. This is not my first try anymore. I either am an idiot or my circumstances are just different that it hampers my ability to comprehend the topic.

My question is this: Based on the details I have given about myself, how would you explain "The message" to me?

Apologies for the long text post, I trust that I have not bored you. I have no TLDR. I feel everything I've typed is sort of relevant. I wish you, dear reader, had good day and I pray you have good tidings.
