This lady asked people what their "woke breaking point" was. Here are 55 of the best and most eye-opening responses.
I've never heard of this lady but she asked this intriguing question and Twitter's almighty algorithm decided it should grace my timeline and so I couldn't help but read some of the replies.

For me, Gamergate. I'd been till that point left-wing and though my politics has shifted to the right a bit, just about every political test I've taken has me usually dead centre or centre right at most. This jolted me out of my complacency. People I'd thought could be trusted stabbed me in the back. I was abruptly a sexist, racist troll when I'd naturally never exhibited any such behaviour.
Gamergate was a spectacular critical fumble that knocked sense into an entire fandom that's still struggling to put down and fight against wokescolds.
Reading into the "popular" consensus of GG, you'd think that gamers as a whole are a bunch of irredeemable incels or genetic dead ends and sure there will be a few like there are a few in any community or group of people but the vitriol we got targetted with was and still is shocking to me. You had grifters sitting in front of the UN crying about being oppressed as they were raking in money in support. You had someone create a blog post detailing probably the first proper MeToo allegation, before MeToo was actually a thing and because the victim was male (and he was a male feminist who checked all the ally boxes), he was unfairly tarred. You had another grifter (I won't be naming any of them but if you're even remotely familiar with the situation you'll be able to guess their names) who collected tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a video series which she didn't do, stole footage from Youtube videos and blatantly lied about everything.
What made all of this all the more hilarious were the woke, game journos (who are reviled by the majority of gamers) is that they were completely guilty of everything they blamed GG for. Anyone who's a member of SB and been around for a while will probably remember a certain... modem for being a reprehensible piece of shit who... Well, I'm sure you get the idea.
Anywho, enough from me, what was your earliest contact with the woke? What suddenly woke you up to reality that these people were absolutely nuts?
