The point being that if the change to Calibri has been done to improve accessibility (hence: inclusion) that makes it woke.
Which is stupid, of course, especially considering that sans-serif fonts improve readability on screens for most people, not for a minority.
EDIT: extraneous "don't" in the middle of a sentence
So what next? Wheelchair ramps? Seats for the elderly and the pregnant? Accessibility features don't displace or even inconvenience the majority in any manner. They only make facilities accessible to an additional crowd, who should be getting them as a matter of right in the first place. What's the end game here?
The endgame is to normalize punishing groups/individuals for any reason on a whim of the ones in charge. Start with minorities and people who can’t defend themselves, then later you can do easier to anyone who gets inconvenient. Despotism 101.
They've been talking about rolling back "DEIA" since they got in power. The A is "accessibility" so they're not hiding this.
That does not make it right.
> What's the end game here?
There's no end game in particular.

Cruelty is the point
Font changes are cruel?

Many things labeled as woke benefit the masses like environmental protection.
I guess people like to stay asleep.
Will be a rough awakening

I used to believe that people would wake up, but that does not seem to be what happens. They are just herded around by the next dog that comes along.
The president of the US struggles to stay awake in his brief detours from the golf course. It’s a perfect metaphor for the country. All seriousness has left the building.
