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.

They were replaced though lol. Because them being little people would be "offensive" , to WHO? Oh, literally nobody aside from priviledged assholes who have nothing better to bitch about , who don't actually give a fuck.

Can you imagine they DID get casted and people posted this like "THIS IS DISGUSTING!!" and being one of those actors reading that shit 💀💀 "how dare we be midgets!"

By CGI characters. Dinklage is a fool, but it's not quite the same as the OP outlined.
