I read the parent comment to mean that by pro-actively making changes in an effort you avoid the woke buffoons, while completely ignoring the voices of those who ought matter most, you're admitting defeat and in doing so granting the buffoons yet more power.

I'd argue if someone is feigning offense we should call them out on it, not collectively fucking prostrate ourselves.

This whole fiasco just makes me wonder what the hell is going on in the background while we're being distracted by this... surströmming-level red herring.
