What is a wokefisher?

A wokefisher is someone who pretends to be socially conscious and progressive in order to gain the trust and approval of others, particularly within activist or progressive communities. They may claim to support various social justice causes, use inclusive language, and appear to be an ally to marginalized groups.

However, their actions do not align with their words, and they may engage in harmful or problematic behavior behind the scenes. This can include exploiting the trust of others, manipulating situations for personal gain, or perpetuating harmful stereotypes and biases.

Wokefishing is a form of manipulation and deception that can be damaging to both individuals and communities striving for social justice and equity. It is important to be cautious of individuals who seem too good to be true and to hold people accountable for their actions, not just their words.
