I think it's about time we highlighted the more wacky WOKE notions that are popping up in the media on a weekly basis nowadays, if any of them aren't at all. I'm putting this in AH in the hope it's a more lighthearted thread rather than not.
To start off here's 3 I've come across this last week alone.
Full Stops. Apparently full stops used in text messaging and the like are offensive to young people. Too much on the passive/aggressive side.

Sky news are running a report this week that says one of the reasons black people are severely under-represented in pro swimming is because of their thick afro hair and standard swimming caps don't fit. I would have thought cutting your hair would be a solution to this problem but I suppose doing that would be discriminatory to hair.
.
Multi Grammy award winner Adele has been criticised for cultural appropriation, because she posted a pic of herself on Instagram sporting an African hairdo. I guess she's not into swimming.

Do add the one's you come across as they arrive. I'll just make a prediction, exclamation marks will be next !
Mod: Okay the threads open for business again, sorry for the delay! The main thing that needs to be reminded is the forum charter explicitly states keep it lighthearted and don’t be a dick
From now on posters who are not abiding by these rules and ignoring mod instructions will be sanctioned. This thread will be monitored closely and if things continue to decline it will either be closed entirely or moved somewhere else.Threadbans:
