    "Woke" Franchises

    Depends on the Constabulary (the Met are seen as a joke by the rest of the country) and there are a lot of old and weird laws that the pencil pushers see as too much of a headache to get rid of and the bobbies don’t enforce them. That aside, I do want to press this, street bobbies have a...

    "Woke" Franchises

    A lot of the show runners are absolutely consumed by ideology and see these old franchises they get their hands on as outdated things to be “fixed.” Unfortunately for them, the exec dinosaurs are very much concerned about their bottom line, and are now beginning to realise that they’ve been...

    Don’t play coy. You know full well what wing of politics uses that terminology, especially on fucking 4chan of all places.

    Anon uses the term “good goys.” Opinion safely dismissed hereafter. It’s paranoid nonsense anyway.

    "Woke" Franchises

    The truth bomb many need to swallow is that “diverse casting” is usually a massive red flag for producers and writers who don’t give a toss for the source material. If they don’t give a rat’s arse about being faithful to even the character descriptions, what do you think will happen to the...

    I used to think it was just a coincidence, but it’s simply happened too often by now. For a bunch of communists, they really don’t seem to like the colour red…

    Ah, the blessings of having a massive linguistic and cultural barrier to progressive ideas. Japan has its problems, but pink haired lunatics who hate their homeland aren’t one of them.

    The Ancient World didn’t really have a concept of racism in a manner similar to our own. As you say, they were more prejudiced on grounds of culture than skin tone. Didn’t stop them from being massively xenophobic at times, but it wasn’t nearly as destructive as racial science and eugenics would...

    "Woke" Franchises

    The abject rootlessness of African Americans and African Europeans, and their thrashing around for roots, is one of the saddest things you can see. They are a people desperately in search of belonging, of a heritage they can draw upon for inspiration, and progressive politics is the pied piper...

    Sure there’d have been merchants or particularly exotic slaves walking around, but a full blown Black Roman Citizen would be a rare sight indeed. Aethiopes were not very common in the classical world as people didn’t often travel far from where they were born, and it was a long journey from Kush...

    They could have given Astrid a Mediterranean/Arabic tan to indicate she's a descendent of thralls taken from further afield? Literally the best I can come up with. Were it down to me, anyone who even mentions ESG scores would get fired from the production team.

    One of the few ancient peoples who have managed to avoid black washing to some extent are the Romans, and I reckon that's because the Imperium Romanum is everything the left despises so wouldn't want any of their pet minorities to be arch imperialists. The mere memory of the Might of Rome...

    It’s literally their holy mission to achieve social justice via redistribution. As far as they are concerned, they are redistributing the media itself to the disadvantaged of society. Yes, they are that bonkers. That and there are those who know they won’t get any baubles at the awards without...

    It is the power of the dopamine rush one gets from appearing virtuous.

    Another point about those stories was that "evil" operated off such an absence of wholesomeness that it would inevitably wind up destroying itself given time.

    I've said this before and I shall say it again. It's frankly adorable that you think these people are that intelligent.

    Is there a point? Because to my mind this ever expanding monster might have been created by someone who could think, but it does not think. It simply is. An Almighty Idiot that continues to expand and expand. Slaying such a beast is no easy task.

    I tend to find that beautiful actresses complaining about middle age often failed to use their astonishing looks in youth to secure a long term partner.

    So... The trailer for Disney's new Peter Pan adaption has dropped. It's as bad as you'd think. Fuck me I'm pissed off over this. Peter Pan was a childhood story of preference for me when I was a little lad.

    Controversial opinion: Magneto is a walking, talking, example of why mankind has very good reasons to fear the mutant.
