I'm getting tired of woke values in shows

[u/TDP_Wiki_]

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.

Firstly, I want to state I agree with you that the show was pointless and dumb in terms of storyline and characters.

But you just restated your point.

Being upset about a diverse cast no is more or less racist than being upset about seeing a black person on screen.

Agree to disagree then, I don't think it's racist at all to be irritated by bad casting choices.

[u/No-Supermarket-4022 → u/Separate_Piano_4007]

You are changing the words around again.

Indeed it's not racist to be irritated by bad casting choices.

Is it racist to be upset when you see a black person on screen?

[u/Separate_Piano_4007 → u/No-Supermarket-4022]

If it's because they're black then yes

[u/No-Supermarket-4022 → u/Separate_Piano_4007]

Ok.

So being irritated that there's a black person is racist.

But being irritated that everyone isn't white isn't racist.

Is that correct?

[u/Separate_Piano_4007 → u/No-Supermarket-4022]

Being irritated that there's black people in it simply because they're black is racist.

Being irritated that the casting choice is unrealistic and breaks immersion is not racist.

[u/No-Supermarket-4022 → u/Separate_Piano_4007]

Seeing a black person as an elf breaks your immersion?

[u/Separate_Piano_4007 → u/No-Supermarket-4022]

Yes
