The fact that you rant about 'woke' Hollywood stuff speaks VOLUMES about you and your character.
yo go read the comments under the new Snow White movie and the reviews and tell me that’s not Trump voters. You tell me that this man is wrong and that these people weren’t so upset about a couple of movies that they voted to destroy the lives of 8 billion people.
go ask any Republican why they voted Trump and they will say something about trans people something about woke something about Covid something about good for the stock market
They wrote 6 paragraphs and one word is your issue?
If the problem is entirely semantics that's a very simple fix and it doesn't seem you really disagree with the content of their comment, just how they said it.
Then you clearly didn't pay attention to what I wrote, but oh well, it's also just one comment and not an indepth essay about why I think and feel this or that way about something. It's not like the world and the people in it has nuance, so enjoy that black and white thinking of yours. I'm sure you will get far in life with that.
I did read what you wrote. That's why I made the comment. If you lack the self awareness to understand what you wrote that's on you.
No you're just assuming a bunch of things because I used the word woke in a negative connotation. You didn't ask for clarifications or anything, you just jumped straight to insults and assumptions instead of being inquisitive as I would have expected people were on this platform. You can scroll down in the thread and see a more indepth explanation of how I think about the subject where I replied to someone who was interested in a discussion instead of knee-jerk reactions like yours.
You brought a very strong opinion on woke Hollywood media into a discussion on tariffs. I read that you are a foreigner who is so indoctrinated by us political propaganda you have a 'hateboner' over 'woke' US media. You are pretending that if you were here you wouldn't have voted with your 'hateboner.' You are on a different continent and have a strong enough option to make it prominent. If you were actually here where the propaganda is targeted you'd have voted down the line like everyone else from here who echos the same talking points you brought up.
Your in-depth explanation reduces down to liking movies with homosexuals, just not when it's 'woke.'
Since it seems to bother you, you may want to take the time to really deep dive on the idea why Hollywood media has ANY association with the word 'woke' on you. What is it about casting a skin color or sexual preference across roles bothers you to the point of hate.
Were you bothered when actors who were gay were cast as straight men? What about when characters that were traditionally white were cast with non-whites. Samual L Jackson as Nick Fury in Marvel movies. Hollywood has been experimenting in cross casting for about as long as there have been movies. So what about now makes it so objectionable? Why is it okay to enjoy an indie movie with homosexual themes but not a major studio production?
For most people it's straight up exposure to political propaganda.
I've had the discussions with others already they got banal awhile ago.
First of all, you don't know me and you don't know what my political views are. You just assume that because I dislike it when diversity is cheap and superficial and all about political agendas instead of telling good stories, that I would vote for trump.
Life is a tad but more nuanced than that. When they cast someone like Sam Jackson to play Nick Fury he was still playing the character. When they cast someone like Zegler to play Snow White it could have been the same, but no. During the promotion they had her come out and talk a bunch of shit on the old movie and making her a target for online hate. They have done shit like this for awhile now. They make movies political and divisive when they didn't have to be. Sam Jackson as Nick Fury wasn't promoted as now we get to see Nick Fury as a black man. It was just Nick Fury and he was played by Sam Jackson. That is the difference.
It's okay if we disagree on the topic, but I would really appreciate you not make your biased assumptions about my character. I could make a bunch of assumptions about you too, but instead I am trying to have a discussion. I don't know you or what your opinions on this and that is. All I know about you is that you project the same divisive and simplistic mindset that was very off putting to me when people who support trump were talking about diversity in media. It is either you love all of it or you hate all of it and depending on what side I'm on, I'll judge you to be a nazi or a communist. It's so fucking stupid to think like that.
But it seems you have made up your mind on who I am and I'm apparently bad because I don't enjoy a very specific brand of corporate pandering. Disregard everything else I have said and deem me an evil trump supporter. You are being very silly.
