Urban Dictionary restores ‘Blue Anon’ after censorship backlash over new label for left-wing conspiracy theorists
Conservatives are celebrating a culture war victory after "Blue Anon," the embarrassing new branding of left-wing conspiracy theorists that plays on the ‘QAnon’ smears used by the media, was restored to the Urban Dictionary.
The term and its crowdsourced definition were put back in the Urban Dictionary on Monday, after being disappeared over the weekend. The updated definition begins with calling Blue Anon "a loosely organized network of Democrat voters, politicians and media personalities who spread left-wing conspiracy theories, such as the Russia Hoax, Jussie Smollett hoax, Ukraine hoax, Covington kids hoax and Brett Kavanaugh hoax."
Conservatives celebrated the restoration after mocking "wokies" for censoring Blue Anon. "Culture war victory," proclaimed journalist Libby Emmons. "Conservatives take the win on this one."

Journalist Jack Posobiec, who has promoted the Blue Anon term, was similarly celebratory: "Ladies and gentlemen, we did it."
