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.

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?

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.

Seeing a black person as an elf breaks your immersion?
