RFV discussion: March–May 2022
Rfv-sense: A backlash against media, speech, etc. seen as lacking a sense of social justice, or as not sufficiently woke.

This sense was actually added by me, just today, when I found a 2019 quote using the word in this sense. It now seems to be hugely outweighed by a slight newer (2020) "backlash against wokeness" sense. I'm not sure if the 2019 quotation was a one-off, or if other writers use the word in this sense as well. I only saw the one on ProQuest or Lexis, but there might be others out there.

 * Cited. One of the citations attributed to the "backlash against wokeness" sense (Rifkind 2020) seems to actually be an example of the "backlash against anti-wokeness" sense. It's used in reference to criticism of racism in the UK media. WordyAndNerdy (talk) 04:47, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
