Hollywood has a cancer. That cancer is WOKE.

What planet have you live on for the last 5 years? ))

Every fifth movie is now basically woke to some degree. Some of slightly woke, some are crazy woke.

"Crazy woke" are Terminator Dark Fate. Charlies Angels (Kristen Stewart one). The 355. Ghosbusters 2016. The Matrix Resurrections. Etc.

TV shows are: Charmed reboot. Batwoman. Peacemaker. Y The Last man.

Sorry can’t do. The Woke ones bought all that stuff out as well as balaclavas.

Haha very funny! That's telling him.
I haven't laughed that hard in a while!!

It’s very typical of wokists to try and silence and banish anyone who calls out their sick ideology and the ruin its causing ☝🏻

WTF is wrong with Motley Crue! Ya done crossed the line now.

Motley Crue is the most egregious of them!

Women hate woke too. It’s only the woke cultists, who are a tiny but extremely noisy, screeching minority that actually want woke content - and even then, they don’t actually like the content itself, they just like that it takes a dump on what came before.

i don't think this is correct at all.

in fact, i think it's a strawman and a smearing of a legitimate issue.

Wrong! This is why we can't engage with you people. Try again.

You speak like woke lefty.

Pathetic straw man.

Of course, this straw tactic was to be expected from you lot and I dealt with one of your fellow cultists here who was guilty of the same dirty trick: https://moviechat.org/general/General-Discussion/61ee1ff34293dd38d900c3b1/Hollywood-has-a-cancer-That-cancer-is-WOKE?reply=61ef34e4bcee4f3e85d1ac93

well its a sort of issue of equality , or even SJW ing .
It applies in a lot of areas, but lets take "racial diversity in movies" as an example.

It was decided as some point that colored people are people too and are allowed equal access to being on screen.
So this has been happening.

Some people who would prefer this didnt happen spotted the phenomenon and labelled it "woke"

The big question is :
Are the colored people receiving some sort of "positive discrimination" ?
The extremely vocal anti woke warriors on this site will have you believe this is the case and absolutely mad as hell about it , they feel all insecure and persecuted .

Personally I'm not bothered if there are a disproportionate number of colored faces in the movies any more than I'm bothered about the proportion of silver cars on the road compared to blue ones .

Woke is political correctness with teeth. The next step is thought policing and authoritarianism.

Woke is when something is purposely going out of its way to be progressive to the detriment of something, in this case, a film.

For example: let's just say there is a film with four friends. One is black, one is Asian, one is trans and one is white, it's clear that they're going out of their way to make something diverse. Pretty much it's tokenism so that they can come off as doing something good.

You really don't know when a movie is being "progressive" just for the sake of being progressive? Usually they point this out when promoting the movie.

Woke is the latest version of Marxism which takes the form of radical identity politics - the base assumption is that a person is defined not by the content of their character (as MLK rightly stated they should be) but by their race/gender/LGBTQIetcetc identification.

Whereas Communism stoked grievance in the proletariat hoping that they would destroy and pilfer the property of the bourgeoise, wokism stokes grievance in minorities by telling them that they’re oppressed by white people, especially males, with the ultimate goal of tearing down Western Civilisation and putting the peddlers of woke ideology into power.

In Hollywood, this takes the form of destroying heroic figures who are important to our culture, and nerfing and humiliating them, killing them off, or replacing them with new ‘diverse’ counterparts. Resistance to this attack will be met with false accusations of ‘racist!’, ‘sexist!’, ‘transphobe!’ etc in an attempt to cancel any dissenters.

Woke warriors come in two forms - dumb people who are irreligious and use wokism as a substitute because it gives them an unwarranted feeling of moral superiority and they gain social acceptance from fellow cult members. The second are more aware, evil people who know all this and play the game anyway because they’re sick authoritarian crybullies.

I really hope you’re not the latter.

off the top of my head answer:

woke = a belief that everything has to be seen through the scope of group identity, that race and gender and sex preferences override all, and that these are the most critical things that inform everyone's life and the things we should care the most about.

& that modern society & the u.s. in particular is an irredeemably evil entity that is cancerous to everyone except white men, who all glide through life taking advantage of their never-ending privilege, and are therefore to always be painted as an enemy, a monster who only can be shown as a contemptuous figure.

& of course capitalism is evil. the prosperity we have is a sham, a lie imposed on us. it only benefits the rich. even though they were poorer and worse off in every way, people in the past, whether it was 100 years ago or 50 years ago or some ill-defined time, were better off. we're all dying because of our abhorrent addiction to capitalism, and that's killing us and killing everything. even though we're all actually much better off and there's never been so many people living better and longer. that's still somehow awful and we need to demolish free markets and free trade.

it is only when you recognize this veil of evil that hangs over all of western society that you are awake & now see the rotten evil at our core.

this is the standard, almost dominant message of all culture and media today.

of course, these people talk more than anything about diversity. this is critical, because when you push back against this messaging, they'll just say 'you're racist. you hate the gays. you just hate and want there to be only white men.'

but they are the anti-diversity people. because while they do everything they can to make sure every color and sexual preference is in every story, they will not tolerate diversity of thought. you cannot have anyone making the case for western culture. you cannot have anyone making the case for the greatness of free markets and free trade. you cannot have anyone talking about evolutionary psychology and the biological roots of gender norms or why there are racial disparities. diversity of thought can't be allowed.

only the kinds of diversity approved by the woke are allowed. skin tones. lesbians. rejection of male heterosexuality. that is the diversity to be applauded.

but you can have no variation of thought. wrong-think has to be abolished.

that is woke-ism to me.

To the extent greater inclusiveness is both considered 'woke' and in fact promotes greater inclusiveness, that is a positive.

TBH, I find the steady drumbeat of non-conventional characters a bit much, but that isn't to say it isn't an improvement over their virtual invisibility a few decades ago.

So now we are in the over-kill phase. Just like we are in the minorities are kinder & wiser than white people, particularly white men, phase.

Its our turn in the box :) It seems to be an inescapable rule that someone must always be in the box.
