Reply to comment by stuckshift in Why still the push for "woke" tv-shows and movies, when almost all of them result in a flop? by [deleted]

OP mentions Ripley though. Pretty sure they'd agree with your examples and overall point

Thanks bud, but this battle here is lost.

Just triggered people all around not understanding my issue with these movies and shows being made. Even wishing for black or asian people getting real stories and backstories is now racist. Completely weird.
The mentioned characters of stuckshift guy are what are well written female characters, caring for their kid/crew/people instead of being a ultra talented ninja with no flaws.

But whatever. Being called an incel that only speaks to his Grandma again in 3, 2, 1,..

If it makes you feel better I don’t think you’re an incel, just an idiot with confirmation bias.

Great contribution insulting me instead of bringing one argument that relates to my post. Let me guess, you are from the US?
No clue, but strong opinions and only knowing extremes.

Okay, for example both House of the Dragon and Rings of Power had diverse characters and both were successful, but since one was more successful than the other, you consider HotD successful non woke and RoP a woke flop.

HotD has great characters. Female and Male. Therefore the issue with the race of the Valaryans can be overlooked. The lead protagonists Rhaenyra and Alicent show feminine attributes that make them believable, foremost the well-being of their kids. They are not jumping around and single handedly killing monsters and physically strong knights. Because no sense in a world that is not "woke".

So it wasn’t woke because it was well written? See this is why I think you’re an idiot.

Listen "idiot", the decision to cast them as black, is still woke. But they at least tried to make it fit with there being a whole family. Also, all the characters where well written, so this issue does not have a major impact on the show itself.

Meanwhile the lotr universe having only white male dwarves and one random black female one, is weird without explanation. The actress did a good job though I have to say.

Right, so well written shows= not woke, poorly written shows=woke.

See this is why I think you’re an idiot.

In this thread: OP Accuses replier of "strong opinions" and only "knowing extremes" when said replier responded to his strongly opinionated (one might say extreme) post.

Stop watching American media if you hate the US so much.

People disagree with you = triggered. People like you will never learn because you will never acknowledge your own problem. What you gonna delete your post now cause your little feelings are hurt?

A grown person who can’t take criticisms = pathetic and a crybaby.

Insults are no criticism. As said before, all you guys are obviously from the US, have no discussion culture and don't know anything else then being black or white and insulting people. That's why you stick to two political parties and support them like a boyband instead of caring for actual topics that would bring you forward.

Raincat21 t1_j1vuxtc wrote

There are bunch of productive criticisms in the comment sections. Yet I don't see you addressing nor acknowledging any of them. Did you actually seek a conversation or you just hoped that people would agree with your cognitive distortions?

Not at all. Your grandma called me just now, she said she won’t talk to your incel ass again.
