In this episode of “If You Thought Apple Was Over-the-Top Woke”…
Very seldom do I begin an article wondering how I’m going to write it and what conclusions I’m going to draw. This might be one of those times, given the bizarre craziness of the content I’m going to cover.
I suppose it’s best to just hop aboard the crazy train and get after it.
Software giant Microsoft continues to be ridiculed on social media for the way programmed employees introduced themselves during the company’s Microsoft Ignite 2021 ConferenceThis Tuesday. We’re not talking about your basic wokeism, Click here.
It’s not close. We’re talking about Graduate-level advanced wokeismWith grown-ass adults, they introduce themselves ridiculously by acknowledging the land upon which they are standing and paying tribute to it. There is also obvious and unneeded pronoun identification and mentions to their hairstyles during introductions.
The video below shows the host, giddy and opening the conference.
“Hello, and welcome to Microsoft Ignite. We’ve got a big day ahead! There are many things in store.

Daily Caller noted that Twitter users quickly mocked these ridiculous introductions. They were active on Thursday. Popehat columnist Josh Barro from Insider made this obvious observation.
[T]alking like a total weirdo is bad in contexts where you’re going to have to relate to normal people, such as customers.
Imagine what you could do. AnyoneDo you think that introducing someone to yourself is okay?

This seems to be part of the reason for the initiative, which is supposed to assist the visually impaired. Microsoft is the Cirque du Soleil for waking up, regardless of the motives.
“Utterly bananas,” tweetedKmele Foster, founder of Freethink Media.
