You can only vote on one answer.
It has clearly become anti-male particularly caucasian. why does it seem they are replacing all the old male characters in stories now with primarily female or fill in the blank gender. Are we supposed to believe that all women are destined to be super heroes particularly if they are some truly butt ugly? Oh and sister don’t need no man!
If you using the term “woke" (which once simply meant "not racist") in this way, you’re not "woke".
( you’re probably "hella racist and proud of it").
I’m not anti-white male, btw.
But I am definitely anti-racist.
Bye, now.

@sdave455 You're even ignorant of the fact that I was referring to your last comment....

Pfft !

@HikingMan You don’t know what to think because you cannot because you yourself are ignorant by defending the woke’s ignorance. Sorry you don’t even understand your own.

What’s wrong with having female characters with super hero abilities or female leads in roles that require a strong lead or women in action movies who can also kick ass?

@sdave455 Well it would be simikar to saying every woman should just be calm, quiet and kind, and every man should be assertive or aggressive and tough. BOTH genders have both tough and kind traits. I think cinema would be kinda boring if women were just only cast as quiet, and men only as tough...
justanothername · 51-55, M
@SW-User They certainly should.

@Coralmist It’s also an incredibly outdated way of thinking.

The world evolves right over the lands of the cavemen....

There are plenty of recent films, shows, and entertainments out there that have few to no minorities in them, just as there are many shows where no Caucasians make appearances.

What the newer models provided through entertainment show, is that skin color and gender make very little difference to the actual tale or stories told.

I'd advise you to evolve as the world evolves if that were an option.
sdave455 · 41-45, M
@HikingMan Right. In your eyes it’s just for the movie makers to replace the hard earned place of the majority with so called minorities for no other reason than skin color or gender. Take your advice and go away niw.

it's the people that complain about what they think is "woke" that wouldn't know real woke if it bit 'em in the ass

@tindrummer 👍 hit it right on the nail

I think it's actually a good thing overall. These movies are making far less money, so these studios will be weakened, which means smaller production studios are going to win the day with innovation

@plungesponge The Northman wasn’t bad. Crazy maybe but at least not bad.

Streaming and home entertainment- no one watches videos any more - has developed to cater for all markets because that’s where the money and audiences are.

@canusernamebemyusername thought of that too - maybe in parents' basement

Very few have in the grand scheme of things. It's mostly very mainstream stuff, and even than it's mostly Disney doing something stupid every once in awhile.
We thought you guys must be exhausted by trying to unsuccessfully save the world, and we wanted to see if we could do better.

It's not like all the men in movies are gorgeous either and no a woman does not need a man 🙄

I don't see any problem. Still plenty of white male leads. It's not a disaster if media becomes more representative of populations.

I'm sorry. Perhaps you can explain this to me like a child. Precisely how is allowing strong female characters anti male?
sdave455 · 41-45, M
@CorvusBlackthorne Sorry? Ken is now Barbie and the whole world has to agree. Meanwhile look at Barbie go and beat every man at every contest. Now that’s reality! Right?
