That ain't no joke if you've seen any of the new Disney StarWars bullshit. White men are banned unless they are the lead role (Obiwan) and he's irish or whatever and has that accent... Surprised they didn't make Darth Vader a chick, but there are about half of the stormtroopers have female voices - even though they were all supposed to be clones of the same dude :rolleyes: Fuck Woke.

It is getting ridiculous. I have no issue with Hollywood making films with females in empowering roles but when they try to change stories, or history, by making female characters in place of men then it’s too woke for me. I don’t care how good the filming is, if I see a female general in charge of troops in a civil war or WWII setting I turn it off. There were some woman who made theirselves appear as men to serve and make higher ranks back then but the first female general in the US didn’t happen until 1991.

It ain't just Disney - All Hollywood is 'empowered'. If there is a white guy he's a subservient feckless moron. I love women with skills and accomplishments. Be in charge and start a business. All good. But stop playing the "I'm a victim" card on one side and "I am woman hear me roar" on the other when the situation seems appropriate.

What I get sick of is the "first woman to..." whatever - when it was something already done by a man. Why is that a thing? You want equality? You can do what a man did. Good job. That's equality - not something to have a month designated for.

This is reality - companies playing whatever game they think will profit them - all based on target audience. No rainbows allowed in the Middle East? Free the sheep...

I just read all the books as a kid. probably over 100. The story was all there and they had to change it. They could have made awesome movies with the storyline already there for millenia - just pick a part of the history to make a movie about and go. CGI fixes anything you can't really do. It was a cash-cow and they now have a "new timeline" of history. Kind of what they try to do in America - change the history to meet the current narrative.
