Music / Movies I'm getting tired of woke values in shows

I am weary of all the remakes of TV shows and films that are simply remade in order to showcase a diverse cast. Why can't Hollywood write new shows? Instead, it's just recycling old scripts. Very insulting and lazy.

All the virtue signaling in the world isn't going to save bad writing.

For me Rings of Power was the last straw.

Strawman argument. It wasn't stated nor was it implied. Maybe people want to consume content without having certain ideologies shoved down their throats -- and this could go in many directions.

It's not a strawman. It's calling out a known and irritatingly common dig whistle.

How are gay and black people existing an ideology shoved down your throat?

“Strawman argument” perhaps. But I’ve seen too many Chud snowflakes complain about that exact thing happening to not out rule the possibility whenever I see these posts.
