I have a sneaking suspicion Jordan Peterson started the woke Disney accusations with Frozen.
He said it was feminist propaganda because the two main characters didn’t need men and the story didn’t end with a marriage… or something like that? I’m pretty sure that was paraphrased accurately enough.
Clearly whatever seeds he planted there is growing into further conservative paranoia that has people looking for any scrap of evidence that something is “woke.”
I was deep into the gamergate shit, which luckily I was in highschool and middleschool for so the embarrassment was minimized. But im pretty sure it may have been started by Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad) before Peterson popularized it. I remember him bitching about something about Disney being SJW with something.
I cant point towards anything concrete since I am now an adult meaning its been some years and would rather not look at anything that hentai addicted fascist has to say. No shade towards hentai addicts I just doubt most of y’all crash your router due to having that many tabs of it.
I have never heard of that Benjamin Carl guy, but your probablyright about that.
I’m sure Peterson wasn’t the first to voice a lot of those opinions, and he was just cleaning up other people’s arguments and making them sound academic and credible.
And try not to be too embarrassed about your gamergate phase. We all have periods of our lives we wish we weren’t so cringe. At least yours is useful and can help folks like me who enjoy thinking about sociology and the spread of ideas and information gain new insights! So thanks for sharing, I appreciate it!

What a weird boogeyman to be afraid of.
Just like Alice in Wonderland in 1951, but I suppose the 50s were woke too.
