Controversial The hijacking of western entertainment made for men

#61
This is a super controversial topic and i expect to be absolutely hated for it.
You literally mean wokeness. Nothing controversial apart from the fact you don't call it by its name.

K-POP influence over the last years helped a lot to achieve this. Soft power at its finest.
Funny you bring up KPOP. It's not woke as Hollyweird.

However KPOP back in 2010s or 1990s was way better.

Their plan is to make a new Rey movie right? and the storyline is gonna be about Rey leading a new Jedi Order, which most fans thought it was gonna be Luke's thing. And who do you guys think they hired to be the director of this new movie? That's right, a feminist activist known for making documentaries against men and the patriarchy. This director has 0 experience making anything in fiction / action / fantasy / scifi, literally nothing.
I don’t think “feminism” is the reason the Star Wars sequels were bad.

The reason they were bad is because they were cash grabs with zero creativity and mid writing.

I wasn't talking about the sequels.

I was talking about the current plans for the new movie.

I've never been so mad at a movie I got to watch in theatre I think.


I think the last Jedi, while not being the best film for a trilogy, was pretty good as a stand alone film.
There was indeed great ideas ! I didn't like the romatic relationship and the scenes of the casino but the rest was quite good !

I still don't understand the fact that people why people thought that this movie disrespected Luke when he did one of the badasses usage of the force at the end.

Companies have started firing DEI writers and slowly refusing "support" from Sweet Baby Inc. which is very good news if true.

Sweet Baby Inc themselves said the reason female characters are made to be more masculine, less attractive or flat out ugly, is to be more inclusive for trans women. What a way to disrespect trans women by saying they're all ugly lol. And their game continue to flop.

@Indigo this sounds like good news

"Less activism"... as if its a big bad word.

Activism is not the reason why phase 4 is not working. The reason why most hollywoodian stories are bad right now is because of one simple things:

Bad Stories


This is really hilarious because when you look at Andor, that is praised pretty much by everyone (outside of really ignorant Star Wars fans).. it is the PINNACLE of activism. Literally, you can't be more activist that this, its literally the most woke and leftist piece of media (with Dunes 2) that was release to this day..

But it had a good story.
:wellwell:

So no one is spitting on it.. and even some bigots are on board with it.

The problem is really clear here and it comes in many colors:

- Some People can't accept bad stories who talk about women. Its hell on earth for them.
- Most of hollywood is pinkwashing important issues or are using white liberal feminist vision of the subject. Which render the stories.. just bad.
- Hollywood don't know how to create good stories anymore so any stories that has good political ideas but are boring will be seen as failures.
- People don't understand that stories are political and depoliticizing those stories is not really a good thing to do.


In reality.. When I hear "get the activist out of my stories".. I only hear "Don't make me think about the world, I just want bland and liberal stories that doesn't take me out of my confort zone"

We need political stories, but we need good ones.

It is bad, for entertainment. For shutting my brain off.

No problem if they want to make activist movies and documentaries.

But i'm tired of going to watching a stupid super hero movie or action flick, and have to reminded of dumb politics.

When i'm into watching a more thought provoking movie, that's great, but when i go watch some super heroes, i want to see action, super powers and comedy. That's it.

Perfect example of this is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League or more specifically, the character of Lex Luthor. For super hero games, most important thing is good story and accurate characterization followed by good gameplay.

Lex Luthor is the embodient of superiority complex and is so arrogant, that he even thinks he's better than literal gods. He has THAT much ego. In the game, he narratives all the character profiles and is his usual arrogant self. For some reason, he's very respectful and remorseful for Wonder Woman and the Amazons, saying it's a shame they have to live under a patriarchy(no joke, he says that). That's like Batman saying the Joker is a good person and is shame that the justice system limits his criminal creativity. It's that bad. It made absolute no sense for the character and of course, it was heavily influenced by Sweer Baby Inc.

Activism doesn't shut the brain off it puts it on.

What do you think a story is ?

Are you tired when One Piece speaks and argue (sometimes in details) about political subjects such as :

- Religious war
- Imperialism
- Racism
- Rape
- Authoritarism
- Dictatorship
- Weapons traffic
- War crimes and crime against humanity
- Weaponery of the starvation of the masses
- Slavery
- Oppressions of minorities
- Human experimentations
- Drug abuse
- Civil conflict
- Fascism
- Deshumanization
- Elitism
- Colonialism
- Human trafficking
- Appropriation of ressources
- Territorial conflict
- Religious authoritarism
- Child abuse
- Inherited prejudices

Or is it only tiring when it concerns LGBTQI+ and women's rights ?

It take more time to debunk BS than to create it.

You can always skip them

yet i don't get as hyped or entertained in any of these moments as i get watching Zoro fight some strong oppenents, raising up to the challenge and duking it out

sometimes we just want the hype, free, action, without politics
