Don’t listen to the siren call of Twitter, their claims are based on a flawed understanding of physical science.
It is true, water makes things wet, it is not in and of itself wet, however all bodies of water you deal with on a day to day basis are not a singular object. They are uncountable multitudes of unconnected molecules of water, touching each other in a glorious slippery puddle of co-wetness.
Water is thus wet, in liquid form. Interestingly enough, water is by definition not a liquid if it is just a lone molecule, therefore all liquid water exists in the state of mutually assured wetness.
However, some unearned pedantry is allowed to dunk on bigots. They sure as hell don’t let facts stop them.
I’ve never thought about water not being wet. This troubles me.

Also since oil and water don’t mix, oil is also not wet, nor does it make things wet.
And yet things can be soaked with oil
It’s like … beer isn’t drunk, so water isn’t wet.
