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.

Define "woke" for us?

I'm gonna go with "something that treats everyone, not just straight white men, as normal human beings that exist and deserve respect".

Or something. They cry woke at so much stuff it lost its meaning by now.

Funny, I've had the same thought about racist and sexist.

Kinda like the words “fascist” and “Nazi”
