Awesome video!
>Let me know what else you wanna see
I thinkthe new super mario cg movie trailer was kind of red flaggy. I just hope it is just bad trailer editing and not a modern audience film.
I think it's time to openly boycott woke companies.
Then, openly go after companies that do business with woke companies. Bankrupt all of them until they bend the knee!
I like your takes because they're not-woke but not "angry" ragebait not-woke. I couldn't share a video from Nerdrotic with a friend of mine who is on the fence.

I’m asian. I never once desired characters I enjoyed like superman, captain america, wolverine, batman, etc. to be asian. I connected with them because of their character, heart, personality, and journey. If you can’t connect with someone because their race or sexual orientation doesn’t align with yours, you have a lot of work to do as a human being.
Much like many white and black people felt a connection with Goku... and none of us wanted Dragonball evolution, lol. We knew Goku was asian and didn't care. Like you said, what matters is the connection to the character and their story.
Edit: I get it, guys. Goku is not asian. The fact that he was created based on an asian deity and has an asian wife and kids means nothing. Please stop telling me what has already been said ten times now. 🙄🙄
Right. When I watch Jackie Chan I don’t get angry he’s Asian lmao
@Weigner Leigner Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Lucy Lu... these guys gave us such an awesome childhood, and truthfully... I miss it. 😔
@@keithedwards9953 yeah that was some of my favorite stuff growing up. Rush hour? How can you not like that movie.
Hong Konger here, I agree. I like Shang Chi because he's cool and for the character he is, not because he's asian. I like Black Panther because he's the King of Wakanda not because he's black.
Major respect for Idris Elba, and Emily Blunt for just wanting to be people, not defined primarily by race or gender.
I'd watch pretty much anything with Idris Elba in it. That guy has an amazing range for acting.
@@CookedOnions Amen 🙏
watch them get blacklisted now tho.
@@CookedOnions And that, I believe, is what he is trying to keep in tact. If he is religated to 'black actor' he will have to constantly play roles about societal injustice towards black people.
He wants to play various characters like he has always done. You know, like an actor should. 😁
Idk man, what he said kinda sounds like “I’m not black I’m OJ”
Funfact: You can literally connect/relate with any character in media. YES!! THEY DONT HAVE TO FIT YOUR EXACT DESCRIPTION!!
Exactly! As a kid I looked up to Papyrus from undertale and MichaelAngelo from TMNT! IM A LIVING, HUMAN, WOMAN!
I connected to the turtle from over hedge and shrek as a kid, simply cause I like their character personality and their arcs not what they were
Water is wet
I think this era can easily be called the dark age of entertainment
Calling woke media good is like calling Velma a work of cinematic art.
Velma is garbage 😂

@@artvandelay154 No they aren't. It's all garbage.

They will deny it to the bone! That's what they do, ppl that do virtue signaling are too damn proud to be wrong.
Literally. Most of it is performative anyway

This woke shit is why people are crazy for Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. It’s a freaking animated film but had tons of charisma, personality and excellent writing. A good general message and everything was used with logic and talent, not with representation and appeal.
It didn’t need all this wokeness to be an amazing movie. It was simply talent, dedication and a little bit of luck that made it a huge success.

Would like to mention that wokeness originally was, like other slang, a term we used to stay vigilant about the media reporting news, whether it was crime, economics, etc. when things got swept under the rug or forgotten after a few days. It wasn’t politically driven or some weapon used by politicians. It wasn’t something to identify mobsters of folks that attacked people for disagreeing with portraying race/gender/sexuality issues. While I do think they need to be talked about, there has been better ways of storytelling that has done this. There’s a reason a lot of these shows are getting canned for not the “Neo-wokeness” I like to call it, but just shitty, god awful storytelling.
They are one in the same, in most cases. "Neo-Wokeness" has killed meritocracy in many areas. Its no longer about finding the best writers or providing the best person for the job, despite how much Hollyweird and the MSM want to say it is, tbh in some cases it doesn't even seem about making money anymore. Its about conforming into the ideas and acceptable narratives that is pushed by "Neo-Wokness". Everything else is secondary. You have a brilliant writer that is male and white? Can't use them or else you're 20 kinds of ist and phobe, many places have filled themselves with ideologues who conform to ideals pushed by "Neo-Wokeness" and now have a severe lack of talent, as ability and skill no longer matter if you have the right "oppression" and adhere to the monolith. A large part of the awful writing is because the writers that have replaced the "Old White Men" who built the IPs they are working on into the massive popular products they are today, are woah-fully under-skilled and incapable of actually succeeding at forcing divisive and often times contradictory sociopolitical talking points into existing IPs and franchises, and in the process destroying the core of why they were beloved and popular in the first place. Resulting in disjointed, and in many cases nonsensical, interaction between characters and plots that the average person cannot relate to or find worth spending money on. Don't even mention the fact that thanks to "Neo-wokeness" the people who should be fired for gross incompetence and lack of ability have a convenient shield against all repercussion and criticism by just dismissing legitimate criticisms and general questions as "Hate Speech" or "Bigotry" this has resulted in a complete inability for major course corrections if needed, they just keep steaming along right over the cliff.
Yes, good writing is here the key.
Yea, modern western societies has an issue with taking already established words and phrases to turn and mean something they simply don’t like.
“Stay woke” went from being vigilant against shady government doings and media, to now mean “progressive bullshit I’m against” …
It was called being “woke” because the idea was that everyone else was still _asleep_ and blind to what was happening. It was in reference to how the majority willingly went along with whatever like sheep, but somewhere along the line, it was co-opted to mean social justice issues. Woke now meant going back to sleep and going along with whatever was popular.
Much like how the general view on “conspiracy theories” went from being about topics not a lot of people talked about that could very well be true, to now mean “crazy bullshit no one should give the time thinking about because the government and my favorite politicians said they’re dumb” and making people out to be crazy nutters that even discussed them. It’s now become a way to shame and insult someone, notably those who have right leaning political views, by implying they’re a conspiracy theorist and making it seem like them talking about something will lead to another January 6th 🙄
It’s become a derogatory term, just like how “woke” has. Not exactly coincidental, imo.
The term itself is completely fine. Closing your eyes and following a long-established rhetoric isn't the best way. Nor is pushing a radical agenda without care for actual storytelling. Good storytelling can work with woke messages, just like any other message. It's just that the execution is absolutely god-awful. Take "The Truman Show" for example. It's woke in the way of critiquing the obession that pop culture has with watching the every move of a celebrity. Though it had a clearly woke message through critique of the culture of our time, it was executed perfectly. The message was subtle but equally prominent. More movies and TV should follow that.
The ironic thing is that the people who claimed to be "woke" (They were the ones who called themselves that at the start) are literally the opposite of the definition in the video, they are most like mindless machines waiting for their programming
It's sad... I had friends (They are no longer my friends) They were super WOKE. They were not bad people but eventually their woke attitude push me away. The saddest part is that they were always talking about wanting a change in the world. One day I heard about visiting a Senior Retirement Home that was low in resources. Many of this elders were abandoned by their families. I thought it be a nice thing to do. Take some food for them, play board games and chat with them. I invited my woke friends. NONE of them showed up for the event.
Which proves that they are just a bunch of fake a$$ virtue signalers.
you mean they didn’t allowed you to be racist and sexist and homophobic 😂 ? Stay alone
@@nairobi8337 what ? Where did the OP say that ? Take your meds snowflake
You deserve better friends. People like that are all talk. They claim they want to make the world a better place, but instead cause more problems with their harmful actions. If you call them out on it, they get mad and drop you. If you point out actual problems, ones they claim to be against, they don't bat an eye. You're not a bad person. They were just a waste of your time.
@@nairobi8337 You shouldn't jump to the conclusion that someone is a bigot because a group of toxic activists unfairly dropped them like a piece of trash. Most of the time, these activists are confused, narcissistic individuals who think being overly morally right makes them valid in the world. They feel better about themselves by "spreading awareness" and "exposing bad behaviors" because they lack the ability to care about themselves. That's why they harm people like the OP. This behavior isn't just limited to the woke mob either. Anyone can be a controlling monster with a severe lack of self-awareness.
There's no such thing as reverse sexism. It's just sexism.
reverse or not. Doesnt change what it is. Thats usually what I say
Same with racism. Any judgment or prejudice based on race IS racism. White people experience racism and people of color can be racist.
At this point, you almost have to put "reverse" at the beginning to indicate that it's NOT the buzzword.
@Sorry, dude nah it's just the buzzword spiced up. It shows even less emotional intelligence then someone who actually is racist as you are doing insane mental gymnastics to get the reverse part instead of simple being a piece if shit racist, you do it under some guise. It's even worse than plain ol racism
I don't believe Sexism is an actual thing, just a word used to describe something.
The new Puss in boots movie is the perfect example of just good story writing with diverse characters. The cast is diverse, but it wasn't the identity of the movie, which as a Mexican American, I greatly appreciated.
Honestly, people who insist on seeing themselves on the big screen are a red flag to me for various reasons : 1. They tend to have strong victim mentality and weird sense of entitlement. 2.They are often quite self-absorbed and narcissistic, they just happen to be victims or think they are victims . 3. They are often very shallow ,they loves labeling everything and everyone, they value diversity on the outside more than inside. 4. They make me question their ability to connect with people on a deeper level since their views on other people and society are always based on race ,sex and gender . They often put up emotional barriers when it comes to people with different views.
I still remember when being "woke" was more of a spiritual thing or a word people used when describing that they don't just blindly follow what people tell them.
The scariest thing is the pride communities like Black Lives Matter Commute, The same Sex LGTB Commute, Transgender Commute, Gender Identity Commute, and the Feminist Commute for getting Money donations and charity's scamming people thinking money will fix Race Wars, Gender Identity wars, Sexualization Wars, and Feminist Wars money will not fix personalized problems with ones own self. Donating money and charity's to any Identity based communities will not grant these selfish people Equality since money does not work like that the people who protest all the damn time must not of herd of the Core Concept of the "Lie within the Lie" based concept of Personalized Identity. Money and charity's can give Food, Shelter and any store Bought item ,but money will never be able to fix the Race Equality, Sexualization preferences, Gender Identity Equality, Female equality ,so people think putting money donations and charity's on every single Identity based protest and politics when these issues are personalized self Issues. these pride communities act on instinct thinking protesting, Gaining money donations and charity's, and thinking raising awareness while being Toxic and repeating the same Messages on infinite repeat loop thinking that will fix everyone's problems but it never does its all for clout Money Yes my friends Money that will never fix a Damn thing about people them selves yes the very same "Lie within the Lie" Concept the very same definition of madness and Hell! True Equality has nothing to do with owns Race, Gender, Sexualized Preferences, Female Equality. Equality has to do how we treat each other as actual somebodies as actual beings and treating each other with respect.
Now it has become the opposite lol
I find people who call almost if not everything woke annoying IMO.
@@Diogo85 exactly no one actual uses the word woke. Nor was woke ever a cool word and the only people using the word woke are people bashing the leftist and bashing people who fight for diversity in a failed attempt of righteousness.

For the Witcher Henry’s demand wasnt that they “keep telling great stories”
His demand was that they stay true to the books which he loves.
They didn’t.
His demands were both.
The books ARE great stories. If you don't think so, then don't fricking adapt it and then change it thinking you're better writers. Jeez with people stupidity.
@@amberxv4777 Exactly. There were writers on the team that hated the series. So why tf would they hire them?
@@One-Shot-Kid-369 because they can't make their own, or at least don't feel confident enough in whatever they made to actually put it out there. So they seek things that are successful and piggyback on the names to tell their stories instead. that Blood Origin shit is precisely this
Same thing. Staying true to the books IS telling great stories. But they didn't do that. They told bad stories.
@@TyrantJaeger not the same thing. Some books tell bad stories, of course the witcher books tell an amazing story but it is an important difference.

I remember growing up we were told that “never judge someone by their skin colour”. Then, all of the sudden in 2020 it completely flipped to “If you don’t see my race, you’re racist”. I remember hearing that for the first time, and while I considered myself woke back then, I *never* understood it.
To this day I cannot rationalise why society suddenly decided that we must continuously comment on other peoples’ races. It blows my mind. Can’t wait to be done with this 🙏
It makes complete sense. How are you going acknowledge someone but not what makes that person them(their skin color)
@@Menacemania272 I am quite confused on what you are trying to say
@@Menacemania272 because it doesn’t matter? They’re not a black personality or an Asian person or a white person or anything else, just a person.
@@Menacemania272 so what you just did was make a claim backed up by an opinion you didn't provide evidence for (their skin color). sure, skin color is usually related to race and race can have an impact on someones experiences but do those experiences always define a person?

you can acknowledge someone’s race but don’t just make it they’re whole existence is basically what woke is trying to say

Seeing a woman wearing high heels while kicking and knocking out an army of men just makes me roll my eyes.
All while the white male co-lead is some incapable individual. It's gotten so outta hand.
I mean this is not really a new thing, sexy badass women on heels who is secretly a spy and kicking everyone's ass is been there for a while.
Those things have existed for a long time, both in live action and even cartoons, all he way before this "woke" period.
Just bad character writing, remember that wokists are creatively bankrupt people. Remember Xena actually managed to outdo its original series, Hercules, back in the days. These days they make things like that without making it cool or interesting like it was.
@@rps215 if Xena was made today people would call it woke. Open your freaking eyes, "woke" means nothing.
The biggest problem with identity politics is that it focuses on what you are but not who you are. It focuses on the things that don’t actually matter and instead of bringing us together we’re more divided now then we’ve ever been. The only difference is that no one is subservient or in chains.
That kind of sounds ironic.
@@kingbaluyut7550 it is unfortunately
It’s also why the Mario movie is doing so well. It didn’t try to be super woke and virtue signal, it just tried to be a good movie.
That fact that I was reared in southern Louisiana during the 1950s does not make me automatically racist. I was there only 18 years and have lived elsewhere 56 years.
The thing is, nobody I've seen talk about Henry Cavill leaving the Witcher has had a bad word to say about him, if anything they've praised how long he stuck it out for. After seeing what they were doing with the franchise, we all knew he wasn't going to stick to that 7 series plan any more since it depended on them telling a great story which they weren't, and quite honestly nobody blames him for it.
THANK YOU!!!! I've been thinking this for the past few years now!!!
So glad you mentioned the multiple hypocrisies and reverse sexism that is prevalent in woke culture. I've found myself playing older video games and watching older movies / shows just to enjoy content that isn't trying to push an agenda.
There's no such thing as reverse sexism. It's just called sexism.
@@DSmith3279 Good point. I'm glad he mentioned the sexism that is prevalent in woke culture.
I'm back watching Dharma & Greg, a show about man's fantasies. With thousands of Harlequin books and Hallmark movies there is comfort in that we once had at least one show with a smart, successful male and a glad, empathetic, compassionate, nurturing and gentle female.
I've been trying to write my own content in order to entertain myself. It's hard, because I'm a terrible writer, but maybe I'll get better with practice...
Sameeee... old movies and games are better than the mess they give us these days
I'm so happy to see the woke nonsense finally dying out in entertainment.
I also appreciate the celebs like Edris Ilba, Ana de Armas, and Emily Blunt speaking out against it. I can't wait till we get back to movies just being entertainment again.

I saw Lord of the Rings, Two Towers today, with the current trend of woke media, it was incredible to see a movie not trying to be an allegory.
Tolkien _despised_ allegory and would be disgusted to see his work used as one in the form of Rings of Power
The entire Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogy are amazing watches. Pretty much the only movies of that length I can actually still tolerate
The original comment hit the nail on the head by saying "not trying to be an allegory."
Tolkien specifically does not say that he "despises" allegory, but that he "dislikes" it. Despite that, much of his work, such as “The Silmarillion” and "The Lord of the Rings" is clearly allegorical.
In regards to “Lord of the Rings” he writes, "Of course my story is not an allegory of Atomic power, but of Power."
-The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien #186
And additionally, "The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work, unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision."
-The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien #142
Tolkien’s view of allegory can be described thusly: "I dislike Allegory - the conscious and intentional allegory - yet any attempt to explain the purport of myth or fairytale must use allegorical language."
-The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien #131
He believed that it was, to some extent, inevitable in the work of any author because it would surface through the subconscious. Or to put it another way, that allegory in literature was a failure only if it was created deliberately.
"The only perfectly consistent allegory is a real life; and the only fully intelligible story is an allegory. And one finds, even in imperfect human 'literature', that the better and more consistent an allegory is the more easily it can be read 'just as a story'; and the better and more closely woven a story is the more easily can those so minded find allegory in it."
-The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien #109
He wants his readers to relate to wide themes of human experience and not to narrow lessons on distinct events. All of this to say that if Tolkien disliked The Rings of Power it wouldn't be merely for its use of allegory, but for the shallowness of and silly intentions behind its allegories, which are plainly seen.
@@spencerbixby7819 I really like this point of view on Tolkien’s statements and it was enlightening to read your comment in general. Thank you

Encanto is "woke" done right.
It gives representation to the culture and people of Columbia. It brings attention to an important social issue (generational trauma). And it tells a really solid, entertaining story.
More media should be like Encanto.
The difference is that they created an original story instead of putting a latina or black girl in a traditionally white story, which infuriates everybody and is totally unoriginal. Telling the actual story of the culture is what makes it great, and I say this as a Colombian woman.
@@CatharticCreation Couldn't have said it better myself.
Encanto isn't woke, being a story from another culture doesn't make it that way. It's like saying that The Princess and the Frog (if it had come out at this time) is woke for telling a story of black people and then it's "forced inclusivity"... we'd be falling for the same thing as them getting offended by everything and not letting people make their stories There are other things that make it woke, when it's forced, when you change races, when you include activism and politics, etc.
@@cecily3797 You... you do know what woke means, right? It means you're "awake" to the realities of relevant social issues, like race, economic class, and cultural differences.
Encanto is a movie about a different culture, and the relevant social issue of generational trauma. It calls attention to those things, and that's what makes it "woke"
@@bismuth7398 of course I know what it is, if you are talking about the original meaning, it's obviosly what you say, but I'm talking about the context of these days, when you hear the word it's no longer to describe something reasonable, that's what I meant
I grew up in Canada but enjoyed Superman. He doesn't mention it often but growing up in Kansas as a farmer and being a proud American didn't phase me. It just showed that he's an honest person taking in the good of where he grew up. I don't care if there's a Canadian version of Superman, we already have the real one, which happens to be American. Don't mess with the Kents.
Everybody says this in relationship to changing the racial background of the character but no one says this when they change the sexual orientation of a character. People only care about woke when the characters are being changed from white to black
Exactly. It was always a given that superman was a hero for the whole world, not just the USA. I never needed that to be explicitly stated and Superman taking pride in America never detracted from that and he sure never needed to renounce his U.S. citizenship to get that point across. Thats the "woke" approach and programing people object to and reject. The extreme overreaction and overcompensation and propaganda. The division and line-drawing. Not the "inclusion" or "diversity" blah blah etc

I just watched puss in boots : the last wish several days ago, and boy i tell you, that show is pure.
It's just a pure entertainment, the villain are so well written, nobody cares about who humping who, just a movie being a movie.
And i am glad it did, such a breath of fresh air after all this -phobic this, -ism that, cancel this and that.
Why would they be humping each other it's a childrens film about cats and you can have movies with lgbtq people and still make a good story (owl house for example)
It does not have a great story. I can easily guess what will happen all the way to the end. But, what's a brilliant execution.
The characters are memorable, quotable, dimensional. The animation is a massive step forward in American animation that I haven' t seen since Shrek 2. The fight scene in the end, was as great as any anime. Can' t shake the feeling that the cat retirement home is an attack on Disney/woke helicopter that tried to change a free-thinking cat into a disgruntled pet.
It is a boy/man story too. Puss learned to take responsibilty and valued his life, and his nature, overcome his fear instead of being another whiny American teenager.
@@Account.for.CommentA great story can be predictable; indeed it often is, because thematic payoff will likely demand the story end a certain way

Dreamwork know this, and made what could have been a simple bounty hunter into Death, straight up. The generic plot structure have a universal classic theme.
The story isn' t the selling point, the characters, animation, scripts are.
If Disney made Puss in Boots, 90% of marketing will be about Spanish-speakers demographic in the US. They would pretend their story is a tier above and the characters are unique because of having a different identities. Dreamworks has no pretentions and worked with what they have, making it the best they can be
Preach! I’m glad one like yourself is calling out on the BS! It’s heartbreaking and frustrating to see what ‘being woke’ has done to media these past few years. That, and it’s becoming a relief to see many finally opening their eyes and speaking out against this. Thank you!
Thank you for watching 🤘🏻🔥
Not help that some anti sjw starting tô act like the sjw( caling gowr and dead space remake woke)
I mean people have been complaining about it for years. I feel like now companies are starting to open their eyes
None of this is what is 'woke'. It's a mischaracterization of the meaning of the word by conservatives who misrepresent literally every word to make it a culture war
Thank you for putting this so succinctly
I live in Hong Kong. When we saw all the local film posters and compared them to the ones in the west, where the movies originated, it was baffling to us. Most people here I know have no such prejudice towards groups like black people but they still felt the need to do it. I fully agree with this video, thank you for stepping up and speaking against this major social issue.
The term "woke" was even appropriated. It used to mean awake in a spiritual sense. When someone was "woke" in 2010, it meant they thought deeply and had ideas about consciousness, life, reality, etc.
it was also a meme too, not in the bad way.
What does woke mean now? Im confused
Just another example of how every single thing these days as become political
It literally means being awake. “I woke up late,” or “she woke from her slumber.” You’re an idiot.
Exactly
This is why I love older movies way more. No agenda, just an amazing story and content.
Yes, apolitical movies like V For Vendetta were amazing. Nothing's more apolitical then a movie about fighting an authoritarian government.
@@marcbrown6582 i remember the good ol days of apolitical films such as Blade Runner and Apocalypse Now, crazy how woke everything is now
Ah yes, classic films like Battleship Potemkin and Birth of a Nation, completely devoid of any agenda!
LMFAO
i learned after being tired of blackwashing. then by watching all the classics i realised leftist propaganda started in the 60s movies
Damn that line about the batteries really hit hard. You be speaking facts!
I'm with you all the way man keep it up and keep speaking your mind we will be with you all the way
My 19 yr old son just schooled me on what HIS generations’ definition of Woke is: being completely aware of “fake media,” corrupt government and the dumbing down and indoctrination of people his age and younger. I hugged him❤
That's a good son!
And at the same propping up fake narratives like the gender and identity are driven by fake facts and narcissism. So does he see through that? I dont trust anyone that claims to be "woke". It usually means that you have been selective in your beliefs and virtue signal and cancel people who dont agree with you.
That actually gives me hope.
No, that is based and red pill. NOT woke.
protect him with your life!!!!
The important part of looking at the woke entertainment is realizing that they're all a distraction for the disgusting nonsense going on behind things.
They're to make the audience focus on shallow "injustices" going on in society to ignore the actual injustices. Big corporations and politicians have their hands in everything; to ignore them is to ignore the root of the problem...
EDIT: Wow, I didn't know that about Idris Elba. So glad one of the few modern actors I like and recognize has a good head on his shoulders.
black rock is going crazy in the background!
It also because many of the woke advocates in media does not share the negative aspects of lives that others do. Most of them are born into money, that' s how they can afford to work in media. They worked hard to get to the top but they did not have any good story to tell. All they know is their identities and buzzphrases from school. That' s why their works sucked. It lacked diversity of the human experience. Watching their works felt like listening to the preachings of a corporate human resources department and the whining of a spoiled teenage girl, not artists.
Malcom X called this out decades ago also.
The world been woke since day one
Ding ding ding correct
Amazing video your doing a great job man
Happened to come across your video today, subscribed midway through the video. Good objective analysis. Keep up the good work!
I haven't seen it yet but I was told that Cassie mainly preaches to her father about him not doing enough. This being ironic as he was one of the main reasons for half of the universe being revived.
I can concur this is true, as well as saying that “we have a lot to learn from socialism” (paraphrased but they explicitly mention socialism)
They actually downplay and pretend as if Hank assisting in saving the universe meant nothing. No really, they legit kinda mock him when hank brings up that he helped saved the universe.
Hank’s family are assholes in ant man 3. Like damn, can hank not take a break?
I had to do a doubletake while watching Reaper's review of that. How... The daughter is "peaceful protesting". All I can think of was the attacks in Seattle where the mayor only intervened when the "protesters" invaded the mayor's house.
Jip Cassie is simultaneously pushing BLM protestong, women in stem and then she's the bestast evar!
It's all true. She is all the sudden the smartest in the room and is right about so many things. It also didn't help that the actress is absolutely terrible
It’s like the audience can smell the Bullshit and are finally getting away from it
Never heard of you before but I’m sold. Finally someone talking about actual reality, instead of their fantasy
You just got a new subscriber keep preaching 💯
I’m just amazed that CZcams put this video on my recommended page, im glad they did👍
Thank you for watching!
As a writer, I find it more fun to write female characters with flaws, for example. I am writing a story where a modern day woman finds out that she is a witch when she is brought to the magic side of the world. Now instead of her being this all powerful being, I decided that a huge majority of her magic was sealed away and is slowly leaking out. Now she can get the seal removed however if she does her body either breaks down because it can’t handle the amount of power or she will go crazy and become something that husband will have to put down.
same here
It's crazy because hollywoke hire these sjw woke activist writers that know Fuck all about the Ip they writing for and then scratch their heads why it flops,
That’s not a flaw, that’s a plot point
I tend to make my girls suffer quite a lot, either humorously or seriously.
I make sure the guys suffer just as much though. A believer of true gender equality, I am. Haha
@@MyShiroyuki oh they will both suffer
This video was so good I didn't think it was going to end
Thank you so much 🥳🔥
Good video. We need those that explain the overall climate and the timeline of events, from time to time, since most videos are focused on stuff that happened 2 seconds ago.
You just gave me hope. Thank you, king
I'm a woman with mixed heritage, and I would consider myself asexual, though I never really even mention that unless it's brought up because these are all superficial traits that shouldn't matter. Do I see asexual women with mixed heritage as the main lead in shows/movies? No. Do I want to? No. I don't care. ALL of the characters I've related to don't look like me, but that doesn't matter! They are all characters that have depth, and stories that are relatable, emotions that are relatable, conflicts that are relatable. If they ever come out with an asexual lead and that's their ENTIRE character, I'm out. I literally do not care. Give me a good story and good characters that don't rely on their color, gender or sexual orientation as a crutch and I'll be good.
Exactly. It's basically racists and sexists saying they need protagonists of specific race, gender, or sexuality to identify with them. Normal people can emphasize with any well-written and likable characters.
Just look at the Avatar cartoon or Demon Slayer anime. They have EXCLUSIVELY straight Asian characters (except for Korra's ending). And they were loved by Western audiences. No one needed any white or black characters to identify with.
I have worked in a hospital with mostly the same staff for 22 years. We have a few "trans" people on our staff. I don't know what they would identify themselves as because it have never come up. The funny thing is I have worked with these people for years and only took notice because its talked about so much now. Its like they are in a spotlight they didn't even try to be in. Nothing being inclusive by seperating people into all of these little groups. I just don't get it. Lets just all be.
I'm asexual, too, and I feel absolutely no need to see asexual characters in the movies. Heck, I don't even put aces in my own stories. Asexuality is not who I am, it's one of my many traits, and far from being my most interesting one. I don't feel it's interesting at all so why should I explore it in my writing? I don't explore my love for chicken, either, for example because what's the point?
"Because this isn't a problem for me, it must not be a problem for anyone!"
The point of diversity in characters is fighting stereotypes. Whoopi Goldberg has told in several occasions how excited she was when she saw Nichelle Nicols as Lt. Uhura in Star Trek, because there was a black woman on TV that wasn't a maid. Until then, TV was reinforcing the belief that black women were only good as maids, therefore acting as racist propaganda. That's what this so reviled "wokeness" fights.
Similarly, when lgbt+ characters are used as comic relief and _never_ as protagonists, it communicates the idea that there's something in being lgbt+ that somehow prevents you from being a protagonist. Don't you think that's weird and fucked up?
Saying you don't care about whether there are lgbt+ characters that are protagonists is like saying you don't care about whether there are black characters that aren't maids.

I like how I subscribed today at 96.7, and now he's as 97K. You love to see it.
I would rather have a random character following the hero’s journey than any modern superhero Hollywood writers.
this is why I always gravitated to Anime and Manga when I was a kid in the 2000's and even got into 90's and 80's stories when I would have been a toddler. No woke nonsense there. And far more advanced in gender fluidity than the ridiculous circus going on here.
I don't even think most current English classes even teach the heros journey anymore
@@Larindarr gender fluity is giga cringe ngl
Yep
PERFECT example is everything everywhere all at once
Well stated! I don't even bother with film adaptations of comics and PC games anymore. It seems the only films and shows that lack this "inclusivity over quality" are those that are original productions not "reimagining" anything. I find myself rewatching older films and shows more than recent releases.
Agreed
@@EndymionTv You mentioned the stuff Disney did in China but no mention of the Uyghur Muslims being detained in camps and Disney's involvement in that? The hell??
@@aurancrash4654 he's mentioned it before in some of his previous videos months ago
Keep up the content, love it!
Glad the “go woke, go broke” is living up to our expectation. Great video btw! Earned a new sub in me.
I think part of everyone wanting to be a freedom fighter is that a lot of people feel lost or without a purpose and they want to contribute to something. We’re constantly surrounded with stories of heroics and we learn about revolution in history and many people just want something to fight for even if it makes no sense
You make a good point. Unfortunately that desire to fight for something and lost feeling is a ripe target for psychopaths to take advantage. if your movement has tons of support from global corporations, mainstream media and government you should really ask why these psychopaths are aligning with you.
I think that’s the problem. There’s always been something to fight for in America until now. Nothing big at least so people just make up problems
The problem is they contribute to nothing but the destruction of everyone else's lives or precious free time. They don't make anyone else's lives better and they know it and try harder to virtue signal which is literally the definition of insanity
For sure, I also believe it’s a v American problem. When looking at my own country and other countries around the globe, we have centuries old cultures that we usually rely a big part of our identity on. Many white Americans unfortunately aren’t usually able to connect to that part of themselves, so tend rely more on politics, religion and wokeness to shape part of their identity. Us Dutchies tend to be blunt, open-minded, social and outspoken because it’s part of our culture. I feel like many Americans tend to rely on certain traits because they desperately look for a community or culture to fit into
@@noadehaan5295But woke culture exists all over Europe and Australia as well.
This is so well said I am mind blown. I’ve always disliked the woke movement because it was just virtue signaling. It always pissed me off how easily people fell for it. I’m glad people are opening their eyes now.
They aren’t opening their eyes, they are just moving with where they think the herd is moving. And the more that move, the more others want to move. People who couldn’t see the woke for what it was are sheeple.
You saw it, now just watch how many “former” woke people pretend they never were. They’re sheeple, they just mimic the behaviors of others
The problem is, is not that many are. There are still more that are pushing this BS, and will continue to do so. And those behind it have plenty of money to waste on woke media, because they know the power they gain will make them even more money. A few actors pushing back doesn’t mean a lot.
Most people aren’t opening their eyes at all though 😂
@@Anoyingmagpie777 " I went to writing and drawing to create my own stuff so I am not having woke virtual signalling pushed in my face all the time"
YES. FINALLY. CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE A ENTIRE MULTIVERSE FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH NOTHING BUT WHITE CISGENDER HETEROSSEXUAL PEOPLE. THAT FOR SURE WILL TEACH THEM MULTI-BILLIONAIRE COMPANIES A LESSON!! HAHAHA
big /s if not obvious enough.
These companies are trying to cater to my (maybe our) generation the most ‘Gen Z’s’ for the sheer reason that this generation is without a doubt is off the f**g rails!💀 High demands for everything to be “woke” (Race, gender, sexuality, etc,) some things should be left alone to keep its authentic ”classicness”. Not everything is meant to be “woke” Like Damn Let it be!
100% agree and stand with you brother ❤
The Deus Ex HR intro cinematic at 13:00 was a masterful reference of dustopia with what you were saying as it played, props brother
I really do hope we’re nearing the end of the woke era. I’m only 20 and living the rest of my life in a society like this would destroy my mental health more than it already has.
Edit: What you said here makes sense. I’ve noticed how the woke mob is very good about being just that, a mob. Whether they really care about something or not, they all say the same thing, moving as a collective. But this latest Hogwarts thing is a great example. They all did the hive mind thing, but most of those people probably don’t even play video games at all.
This is why when a company goes woke they go broke. They’re trying to appeal to a radical portion of society that by and large is not their actual fan base.
The sad thing is, not only do most of them not play video games, a lot of them are not from the trans community at all and just taking up the cause. There are a lot of people from that community that are not bothered or don't even know about the game.
And yet woke companies still make money
Lucky you. I lived my mid teens to my 20’s through it. I am now 23. 24 in April.
@Disneyprince14 It's gotten extremely bad the last couple years.I hope they run out of money soon.
Its also that they are not lasting fans. They remain "fans" of something till the next outrage comes, then they are "life long fans" of that ip. Its why going woke is going broke. They don't provide sustained income. Just one lump sum.
In the end, what’s good will always live on in peoples hearts. And what’s hollow and heartless will be forgotten
Damn. This is one of the best videos I've watched in a minute. You've definitely earned a sub.
PURE TRUTH BROTHER... keep going! 🍷🧐🎩
Thank you sir, I hope people listen to you!!
Something else id love to add to this whole thing is that being WOKE used to mean you were aware of the corrupt world around you and how its ran by evil. Basically it just meant being a spiritual conspiracy theorist, but now its been TAKEN and CHANGED, the EXACT same way they TAKE AND CHANGE the things we LOVE!
Wrong as hell. Being Woke and the term stay Woke is a term coined by Black Americans using Ebonics or African American Vernacular. Pushing back or being against racial, gender and class discrimination is what the term means. Black folks use the term to stay aware and fight against these injustices we still face today.
@@dblevins7039 It’s definitely way deeper than that but thank you ☠️ you ain’t wrong but neither am I bro 😎
@@dblevins7039 you basically said what I said but you singled it down to being a black only thing when any woke black person will tell you it’s WAY deeper than that. Please look deeper respectfully 🙏💚
Right?! It's sad that an adjective such as "woke", that represents so many good things, has been taken away by them.
I used to be woke, then they took over.
why would white supremecist want to demonize the woke? Being aware of corruption and things like slavery and racism isnt "spiritual conspiracy theory" -- but can't teach about that in Florida now...
'They don't support anything, they just like the idea of supporting something' - perfect.
I love you used the end of the Age of Fire in DS3 for your end of the woke era imagery. Beautiful!
Dude, I just found your channel today and I can’t freakin stop watching! Here’s hoping more find their way to you.
Maybe you could arrange a team up with Critical Drinker or Nerdrotic?
It doesn’t seem to be BUT I’m hopeful of this actually being a phase.
Oh it will end, if men step up and start talking back. Don’t let people try to belittle you, you don’t have to be bullied by anyone. You’re an individual who should be proud of who they are. You should be happy with yourself and proud of where you came from. Anyone who says otherwise is pathetic trashy and insecure.
@@daveinpublic "If", and that's a very big if. I am not so hopeful.
I am from the Philippines. The US was known as the entertainment capital of the world because it created so many great films, TV shows and comic books that I grew up with. The stories were powerful, the characters were unforgettable. I missed the years the time when life was like this. Unlike now, where everything has descended into madness. I grew up watching Justice League, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Barbie Movies, Care Bears, Transformers. I enjoyed singing and listening to rock bands and boy bands, to divas and girl groups, to hip hop groups and film scores.
I cannot believe that I will be living in a time where even the use of pronouns would cause onslaught and every character in the pop culture is torn down right before me. The problem is woke media in the US is spreading their ideology to the rest of the world that they would even demand non-Western entertainment like the creators of anime and manga to do the same and that they would even want to censor it to please their so-called modern audience. France also resisted because these crazies are enforcing the use of their preferred pronouns into the French language.
Your discussion on the hypocrisy of that big corporation that bends backward for that oppressive nation that enslaves minorities and its own people while lecturing people in the US and around the world about slavery is truly sickening. In reality, the woke crowd is not the main market. These are just dumb, mouthy creatures who don't have any regard for other but themselves, nothing but a bunch of entitled individuals with twisted minds.
I grew up watching those, though I primarily watch Spongebob, Winnie the Pooh and Pokemon from 2007 to 2015. Heck, I even watch Hey Arnold!, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Kids Next Door, the Disney animated movies, and perhaps so many I can't recall anymore.
And like you, I am glad to see the woke culture dying out quickly along with these lolcows disappearing into irrelevance, because I had hoped that one day, the US would return to making stories that we could connect entirely.
Bingo. Spot on.
I agree with almost everything…but I don’t see how the French adding more options for pronouns is a bad thing. It doesn’t have a planetary effect, nor does it change anything about how the language is spoken and most people use binary pronouns anyway
@Miyamura_Kin French people are just very blunt and real, I feel like. They just simply probably feel like that's ridiculous and unnecessary.
I just found your channel and I love it
Finally someone I can agree with. I have high respect for you man.
I subscribed now, just for that.
I remember when woke media wasn’t woke. It was all movies and shows to enjoy with family and friends. It’s sad
Yes it was nice
I miss those golden daya so much i could cry. I can't believe how fast the world changed. I'm not even 30, but i feel like a granny missing the old days.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I’ve been binging Seinfeld lol, happy to be a part of it all
My biggest problem is race swapping characters. As a black I feel pandered and insulted when an adaptation of my favorite video game race swaps people. If you have an edge to see black people in a zombie apocalypse write separate characters in that universe. It seems intentional and it’s come to the point where anytime I see a black personality on screen I have to ask why they’re there.
A good example of this is Barrett from FF7. As far as I'm aware he may be the only black character in that entire game, but boy, what a character! A single father fighting for a what he sees as a better world for his daughter as a vigilante and environmental activist who uses a machine gun for an arm to take on a mega-corp that literally rules the world. He's not trying to be anyone else, he's just Barrett. Now would you call that woke or just good writing?
Yes exactly, this reminds me of that girl power scene in Avengers Endgame. I'm sure that scene made some little girls happy, and that's great. The problem is they never set up those relationships, and it just feels so unnatural.
It's funny how they try to fight racism by making people racist. You'll never run out of enemies if you keep making them.
@@mattd5240 Seems self aware at this point. Like people who don’t like someone’s race will exploit those kinds of people and make them look as foolish as possible while praising them. Some big brain racism lol
Yeah I never understood the whole race swapping characters like it's foolish to me, I'm sorry but Spider-Man is a white dude he was a white dude growing up he will always be a white dude in my eyes.
Same thing with Batman we don't need a woman Batman, Batman is a dude a white guy.
Like black panther he will always be a black guy
I hope you're right about the end of the "Woke Era"... I really hope you're right.
I will keep fighting!
When did this woke era start? I don't look into things like that
@SaiyanQuad92 It's difficult to pinpoint, because it began as a subtle progression that ramped up exponentially... likely, at least in part, in response to the cultural shift noted during the presidency of D. Trump.
@Þulr Óðinsson Cultural shift under Trump? Who cares about Trump? He's trash. I won't lie and say I haven't seen cringy stuff or when hollywood tries too hard but just saying I don't really look into what's woke or whatever.

There is no reverse sexism or racism, only sexism and racism
It will get much worse, before it will get better. We have to be the ones to create art that is not woke instead of waiting for these corporations to change.
Or we burn down and completely destroy the corporations once and for all. If history has proven anything its that only total destruction can create changes.
I think we've seen the "peak" with She Hulk and Velma... At least that's my hope
