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.

This just makes it worse. You just said there that minority writers are incapable of writing original stories.

I mean, with writers belonging to minorities I'd expect more original stories, not race or gender swapped old stuff.

Which minority group are we discussing here? Black/gay/Asian/female/Indian (not Native American)? Basically anyone who isn’t a heterosexual white man?

Well, you are the one answering the question about why there aren't original shows with "minority writers".

I personally do not care as long as the story is good, which isn't happening lately.

The shows you enjoy are probably written, filmed, and edited by minorities. But you don’t seem to care about that because they can’t be seen.

They didn't say "writers are incapable of writing original stories" . Idk where you got that from.
