Average democrat^
Isn't that Libertarian party talking point
Heroine for kids
I can't really think of good examples but I think some classic Dr.Who (the 1963~1989 run) episodes dealt with politics.
I’m not playing the last of us 2 because of its views but the gayme can be fun regardless
Sure, I'd say watchmen was contextually woke when it first game out and by all accounts it's an excellent subversion of the superhero trope
I just sat through Mad Max Fury Road.
I love the setting but it was pretty in your face with "MEN BAD WOMYN STRONK" at certain points.
Women were slaves in the originals rigjt
Wamen would most definitely be slaves in that world realistically
Immortan Joe did nothing wrong
fuck I just realized that it can be seen as a criticism of feminism.
Immortan Joe build an empire in the Australian outback, and now women showed up wasting precious resources trying to be nice.
Woke messaging has to be in an easter egg forme
If it’s prevalent; then people won’t like it. People love it when they dig deep to find those “hidden” wokepills
^this
I think both Bioshock and Outer Worlds can be used as examples.
Both are critical of hyper capitalism, Bioshock worked this in subtly, you see the results of it up front while Outer Worlds keeps yelling "BIG COMPANY BAD XDXDXDXD"
Right.
Underlying meanings make shows better
Star Trek (Older Ones; not fucking new ones lmao)
I think it's also that current leftist media explores themes that are already done to death.
Racism, homophobia, xenophobia aren't really that interesting anymore.
Another problem is that they're shit, bioshock would work adequately without being a critique of capitalism. A lot of modern "woke" works are just political rants on a screen.
^this
I think another issue is tokenism.
How many leftist games did you play where there wasn't some sodomite worked in as one of the main cast for no good reason?
Exactly.
I like medeival period settings, I wanna watch lotr or some shit about an English king in the 1500s, why is there a black person here? There pretty clearly wasn't black people there in that time.
Maybe like a trader or two in London
that's more revisionism.
I'm talking about a new IP having a gay guy for no reason.
"oh this is Stevie and he's totally gay! did I mention that he's gay?"
Well usually that's just the gay mafia
same with black guys and muslims
Big thing in positions of power, like the Jews.
Form nepotistic cliques
They're usually promoted by others
I don't hate those groups but if you work one of them in than either make it part of the story or don't draw attention to it
I hate em but even if I didn't it'd be obnoxious
The best forms of activism feel like a fun day out.
They're trying to make fun days out into the worst parts of activism
I just boycot everything.
not much good media has come out in the last 20 or so years anyway
The majority of left wing film, series, and such is good, as long as it makes sense from a story perspective and isn't forced.
Political messages have to feel organic, it's very difficult to make an overt message movie that is good like say American History X . The problem with Hollywood is they are about as subtle as a 44 magnum fired indoors with their messaging. The message also has to appeal to enough of the public, modern Hollywood left wing messaging, pro trans, pro Abortion, pro globalism have a very narrow but disproportionatly loud audience.
If I were a film director, I would be able to weave it into such a way, that people would be inspired, you know by globalism for example.
The problem becomes what is actually inspiring to your core audience about globalism? Keep in mind that your core audience are Americans, Chinese and native Europeans in that order. With the exception of the Chinese globalism has brought nothing but problems to a majority of those audiences. To actually make a successful movie about globalism the movie can't be about globalism, it has to be abstract like the Chinese providing the missing piece of a puzzle to stop an asteroid from hitting Earth.
And it has to feel organic, you can't implicitly state "thank God for our open lines of communication and commerce with the Chinese", there has to be room for the audience to reach the conclusion themselves. This goes back to the lack of subtlety in Hollywood and why most get woke movies are terrible and poorly received.
Well, it could be about how various nations are on the brink of war, The United States and NATO against Russia and China.
When the first alien invaders land in Africa and South America, sweeping their poorly equipped armies.
So these countries set aside their differences and aid each other in battle against the alien invader, only with each other were they able to succeed. In the battles of Panama and Egypt, humanity united as as one.
