    media industry: sucks all creativity out of the craft and replaces it with metrics and focus groups geared towards mass appeal

      It doesn’t suck because of the “woke” stuff

      It sucks because apparently a multi billion dollar company sucks as writing.

      My favourite accusation of woke was people complaining about princes leia being old and unattractive now. Like no shit? It’s been 40ish years?

      The criticism is more “it sucks because all the producers cared about was getting a woman in it”.

        That’s the more valid criticism. There’s plenty of criticism in the “wamen bad” category.

        yes so obsessed by a very difficult and time-consuming decision of “getting a woman in a movie”. That choice was such a vital investment that it should become a cornerstone of any critique
