"Woke" Franchises

Nobody has seemingly put effort into actually building anything, just cheering with Glee as everything gets burned down while chanting get woke go broke like it's some sort of mantra or spell. I get it we hate the left and want to see everything they built get burned down. Great, now can we start focusing on building something in it's place now or are we just going to sit on our hands while the left moves on to other fandoms and ruin those too?
You overlook the fact that most of us aren’t in a position to build anything when it comes to stuff like video games, comics, tv shows or movies.

People having been doing so. Just recently Eric July started a new comic company, and there have been others who have been self-publishing and doing pretty well. But just like any other alternative to a popular media, it is difficult to get traction.

Personally, I see it as pretty sad to see these things burn down, but I also don't see an alternative, short of someone buying the companies and doing a purge, which doesn't seem likely. Would you rather these woke businesses be supported and continue to pervert the franchises they've taken over?

You're not looking in the right places, or you need to adjust your expectations. You're not going to see some conservative billionaire fund his own hollywood blockbuster franchise or anything. People are writing non-woke stories such as David V. Stewart, Brian Niemeier.

You can also look to overseas stuff like anime, manga, Chinese xianxia novels, etc.


are we just going to sit on our hands while the left moves on to other fandoms and ruin those too?

Stay away from reddit, twitter, and big discord fandoms. They're always cesspools.

The historic and Shakespearean Globe Theater is doing a theatre production featuring the historical icon Joan of Arc and referring to her them by exclusive they/them pronouns in a celebration of non-binaryness or something.

Noted Alt Right Provocateur JK Rowling stated this was ridiculous and "to rewrite female history is an insult."

Daily Mail said:
It came after a Twitter user criticised The Globe's new I, Joan production. Her remark of 'Coming next: Napoleon was a woman because he was defeated at Waterloo' was liked by Ms Rowling on the social media timeline.

It came moments after Heather Binning from Women's Rights Network told MailOnline the play was damaging to women.

She said: 'This demonstrates just how our arts and creative industries have taken on the woke mantle without realising that 'being kind' to one group of people actually hurts and damages another important and fundamental group.

'Joan of Arc was female. Her early years were spent cooking and cleaning and looking after the animals. When she was 10 she had a vision that she was to fight for France. In order to do this she took on the outward appearance of being male.

'This had nothing to do with 'feelings' and everything to do with the biological reality and disadvantage that being female brought. Many women throughout the ages have had to adopt 'maleness' in order to be taken seriously and advance their ambition.

Stuff it with your facts already! Joan of Arc wore male clothing. Therefore they are non-binary at a minimum and likely a progressive fourth wave intersectional transgendered feminist.

I fully expect the french to flip their shit. They hate it when people fuck with their cultural heritage.

On one hand I could write a whole list of reasons why it's completely understandable that it turned out like that, or like others I could point to some alternatives that some people are working on... on the other hand, I tend to agree. There's a terrifying lack of creativity and agency that afflicted anyone touched by our culture. At some point we have to cut our losses, and focus on building. Funnily enough, I think cards and dominoes could unironically be a part of the solution, rather than a dark vision of the future, as you imply.

Yeah I have way more respect for people like Eric July, Clownfish TV and Razorfist at least they are trying to rebuild. I'm trying to do my part and am currently working with a Newgrounds artist to make a comic book that's trying to invoke a more classical superman archetype as opposed to a deconstruction. If nothing else there is always fanfiction at the very least.

Ages ago there was this meme: "No matter who you are, and what you're doing, you can take solace in the fact that somewhere out there, there's a 5 year old Chinese kid who's doing it much better than you ever will". I have a whole theory that social media is using that mechanism to sap us all of creativity, because every day you're flooded with clips of people doing amazing stuff, and making it seem like it's nothing. And for their part the audiences tend to flock to the 1% of top performers, reinforcing the dynamic even more.

But it warms my icy heart that you're working on something of your own. Be sure to shill when you're done, I'll be more than happy to throw money at you.

I noticed that Seth Rogen not only went completely woke but has been going on a lot of unhinged twitter rants and finds himself getting trolled a lot. This got to me to thinking and I realized that Seth Rogen's growing insanity wokeness has a lot of parallels with Chris Chan. Like the dude might be rich but he's still a 40 year old manchild who spends all his free time arguing with trolls or sperging on rando's.

Plus there's a difference between being a comedic actor and an actual comedian oftentimes. Seth Rogan ain't got the wit for the latter due to being a halfwit.
