Woke fishing is a slang term used to describe when someone pretends to be more politically and socially aware or progressive than they actually are in order to attract others. It refers to the act of “fishing” for attention or validation by pretending to hold certain beliefs or values.
In reality, woke fishing is a form of deception where individuals misrepresent their true beliefs or intentions to manipulate others into liking or being interested in them. It often involves pretending to be woke or socially conscious in order to gain favor, attention, or romantic interest from others. This term highlights the insincerity and opportunistic nature of those who engage in this behavior.
Example 1: “I had a feeling Mark was woke fishing when he started attending protests and sharing social justice posts online, but when I brought up the topic in a casual conversation, he had very little knowledge or interest in the issues.”
Example 2: “Sarah noticed that her date was woke fishing when he dropped buzzwords about climate change and environmentalism but couldn’t explain in detail any steps he had personally taken to make a difference in his own life.”
