Ha ha, I know, it's mad, and getting worse.
The comment was "Someone needs to remind our lads that they're paid a decent wage, if they're "tired" we'll give them to our brave boys in the forces who keep this country safe. Woke snowflakes with their fatigue and their pronouns, embarrassing "
Now I know there are a lot of right-wing loons not even needing to lurk in the shadows these days, but that just isn't the sort of language normal footy fans would spout after a game - it ticks far too many culture war boxes for it to be natural.
I don't reckon the general public would ever refer to 'our brave boys ... keeping our country safe' or any terms like that directly - they might support another comment that says it, but it just doesn't ring true as a part of a normal comment at all, and sounds more like something TCJR-M would spout.
Same with the sentence "Woke snowflakes with their fatigue and their pronouns, embarrassing" - definitely shoe-horned in, and gets my bot spidey-senses properly tingling.
