Good series. Worth watching for those who finished school.
My censored IMDB review
Excellent gritty action. Best since T2. Solid kick-ass effects. Crybabies can suck it.
Season 3 was an absolute FLOP
Who is the woman who complained about his sexual harassment?
WTF is it all about? Who the F--k knows?
Ghostbusters sucked
Jupiter Ascending caused sex change

A lot of artists and people in general don't make their political views known. The reason is they don't want to irritate half their fanbase. So I don't know how you obtained your insight into the numbers of left-leaning people who make music, games, TV and movies.
Punk music is anti-establishment not "left leaning". The modern left want strict rules on speech, to rewrite classic books to remove words like "fat" and alter dialogue to be more inclusive and diverse. That's not very "punk rock", it's more "whiny little bitch".
Given the flip-flopping left/right election successes over the years, it's obvious many people are in the center, or dislike both sides, or switch from one to the other depending on policies. Artists and creatives are often complex characters, deep thinkers, and have a variety of opinions. Placing them all in a "Creative Lefty Box", is to oversimplify the reality, or you're stuck in the past when that may have been more accurate.
Anyway, I hope one day Doctor Who can dial back the woke cringe. I fear it's all over though. Doctor Who is dead.
<blockquote>...all this because a black man has been allowed to play</blockquote>
"Allowed to play"? You frame it as if black actors have been knocking on the Tardis door, wanting to play Doctor Who but turned away due to "rAcIsM" or something?
<blockquote>Whats the actual problem again though?</blockquote>
The problem is "woke ideology" manifests itself in film and TV with an over-compensatory social activist agenda. Rules, quotas and guidelines are imposed. This impedes creativity via an intrusion into scripts and casting. Not unlike the way communist authorities make sure they are portrayed positively in movies. Except this time it's representatives of transgender rights groups, making sure they have X amount of screen time in Doctor Who.
Within the first few minutes of the first Doctor Who episode, we're served up a transgender performance, and a Black gay Doctor. He is literally twirling like a ballerina to cheesy dance music in a club, dressed in kilt and tank top, arms in air. They couldn't have chosen a more stereotypical "gay man" scene if they'd tried. It's obvious what's going on. They're reinforcing his sexuality, "out and proud", by forcing it into the a science fiction story.
THIS is the problem. Get it? Viewers don't want to be slapped in the face with a wet fish of wokeness in what is meant to be a science fiction adventure with beloved and familiar character.
Nobody is against diverse actors, but when they're forced into existing stories, displacing the established characters because "DEI" politics, then you have a problem. Why can't the woke producers make a new show called Doctor Woke? Start a new concept from scratch rather than hijacking these old shows?
<blockquote>...written by people on the left-side of the spectrum</blockquote>
The problem with your comment is you're responding to a point that was never made.
The OP said "evil cannot create". It appears you're under the impression everything created by the "woke left" is fundamentally good and creative. That's your error.
Just because an artist is "left wing" doesn't mean they always produce quality work. They are entirely capable of producing mediocre, derivative, yawn-inducing, agenda-driven, nauseating cheesy drivel.
Which brings us to Doctor Who: How the Wokies ruined this once great show.
<blockquote>So what else are the problems with Lightyear exactly then?</blockquote>
In the first 3 minutes the straight white male lead (Buzz) is portrayed as foolish, pretentious and ashamed of himself in front of the practical, wise, superior LGBT officer. This theme continues throughout the movie.
If you ever watched the original Toy Story, Buzz is 100% confident. He would never feel foolish about recording a mission log, for example.
So the whole premise of Lightyear misrepresents the Buzz character from before Toy Story, for the sake of Disney's DEI agenda.
Here's a youtube link that covers most of the problems:

So your answer is "no, I don't have a sensible question".
<blockquote>I am specifically referring to your outrage over Lightyear.</blockquote>
What outrage? My post is clear and concise.
Your strawman response is weak. You seem as dumb as a post, so I probably should explain what strawman means. A strawman is when you attempt to refute an argument never made. In this case you claim I am "outraged" about a kiss scene when I specifically said "nobody cares about a kiss scene".
The wider issue of DEI policies influencing everything from characters in stories to how many white pilots can be hired in aviation, is the problem. The censorship of reviews on IMDB that mention DEI policies in movies, is another problem. Capeesh?
No, I'm complaining about Disney's inclusion standards contaminating the creative process. [1]
Do you have any sensible questions?

An anonymous source just sent Disney's "inclusion standards" document to Elon Musk, according to his post on X.
<blockquote>https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GFsCz9qX0AAQiD8?format=jpg&name=large</blockquote>
This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. All those mandates and rules permeate the fabric of creativity and expression. You can write a good story at Disney, provided it goes through the inclusion sausage machine.
Box-ticking creative dictators, weirdos acting like members of some sick socialist brainwashing cult.
"Reason: Other
Your contribution has been declined.We did not capture a specific reason during processing."
We all know the reason. It's because I criticised DEI messaging.
Take a movie like Monsters Inc. There's no obvious politics in there. The most you could find is the value of happy kids over scared kids. There's no ridiculous side-hustle plots about gay couples, and there's no self-conscious balance of skin colour representation. Pixar should stick with universal values relatable to everyone, like those found in Monsters Inc, not the divisive identity politics of trumped up grievances around sexuality and race.
<blockquote>So what it if there's a same sex kiss in this movie?</blockquote>
The majority of people have no issues with same sex couples. But clearly Disney/Pixar make a conscious effort to push their agenda on certain themes and social issues front and center. As if people look to Disney for how to think and live their lives, rather than simply to find escape in fantastic other-worldly stories.
The issue is when it's forced into the story as a priority. It's not subtle, and it's getting worse. Kids fiction writers and movie studios shouldn't be in the business of injecting political activist content in movies. It comes across as creepy and has a propaganda vibe. Unsurprisingly, people are getting tired of this shit.
It's not healthy for the integrity of art when such issues are awkwardly forced on viewers, pretending to be effortlessly blended with the story. "Nothing to see here"!
It's like when activists and social justice tantrum throwers, infiltrate HR departments in companies, guilt-tripping DEI mandates because "too many white people" is a problem according to their ideology. They open a door to a room, and if they see 5 people all white, they see a problem that needs "fixing".
DEI in principle sounds fine until you notice they often put down one group in order to elevate another.
NOBODY cares about a same sex kiss. People care about the forced agenda of shoving it in front of viewers not for the sake of the story, but to appease the "DEI Consultants" the studio hires in turn to appease a certain political view in some sections of audiences and media.
I'm not clicking those, please summarise them in a paragraph or two, since you created the thread, you should post some actual words not just links!
