Yes, but saying wokeness isn't the major problem ignores how big a problem it is Tom Send a noteboard - 14/09/2022 02:56:15 PM

I would love to see a comedy parody (I won't say SNL because it's become a Leftist instrument so it never would do this) where a black guy in a motorized wheelchair wearing a modern track suit and tennis shoes comes out and everyone says "Elrond!"

Then the director says, "Wait, this isn't right" and the guy starts saying, "What, you have a world with dragons and magic but a brother in a wheelchair can't be Elrond? You're racist!"

The wokeness is highly wrong. Every relationship has to be interracial, every race has to be in almost every shot if possible, and the "BIPOC" and women have to be noble heroes, while the white guys are generally assholes or overconfident pricks, unless they're gay or disabled or meet some other intersectionality target.

The thing is that there are shows that cast compelling characters that meet some of these goals from time to time without throwing it in the audience's face, but they're very rare.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
