Comedian Mocks ‘Woke’ Movement with Parody Account: ‘I Wanted to Poke Fun at Whole Woke Movement’ Because It Can’t Take a Joke

EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "Let me just say, you write one of the best things on the entire Internet, and I mean that as high praise. Why do you think you are so disliked by the people you are mocking? Are you surprised that they see your mockery for what it is?"

DOYLE: "Not at all. If I was the person being mocked, I wouldn’t find it very funny either. But part of the whole point of the Titania character is that she is this very kind of po-faced, very sort of privileged woman who still think she’s is oppressed because she is a modern-day feminist who believes in this sort of nebulous thing we call the patriarchy. But she never laughs and never has a sense of humor about herself. And I think that's one of the reasons I wanted to poke fun at this whole woke movement, because ultimately, it's totally humorless. It can’t have a joke, it can’t handle a joke, because it's constantly looking to be offended by absolutely anything even when there is nothing to be offended about. So, of course the woke people aren’t going to like this book. And in fact, the fact that they don’t suggests that I’m doing something right."
