Oh really? "they/them" pronouns are woke? Did you know "they/them" comes from Old Norse, whereas "he/she" come from old English? They/them are the pronouns of Vikings.

Would you call Sweyn Forkbeard "woke"? And Eric Bloodaxe? Woke too? And I suppose even Ivar the Boneless was woke. Get real.

As an aside, the Vikings were literally so cool. Absolutely no shame in naming themselves things like that. The Anglo Saxon kings were naming themselves things like "Edward the Martyr", it's no wonder they lost to guys calling themselves "The Boneless".
