Reply to comment by WordsAreSomething in Why still the push for "woke" tv-shows and movies, when almost all of them result in a flop? by [deleted]

If you would have read my post correctly, you would have seen that I mentioned, that different races should be included in a way that it makes sense and that women should be portrayed as women with great traits and not as men that behave like arrogant antagonists.

And I believe if that would be the case, the quality of the shows would rise and therefore the success would be bigger, yes.

........um the two biggest African American characters in rings of power were like the best parts of the show

Yup but because they are PoC, there is no way they were "great". They think they were just added to the show to meet a checklist and completely disregard their good performance.

What does this even mean? You sound like an incel.

So...the diagnosis here seems to be that you just have a bunch of related misconceptions in a big jumble and they're confusing you.

There is no "woke agenda" being forced on you. It's just that you're suddenly seeing more people on screen who aren't just like you and the people you're most comfortable with. It's that simple, even if you won't see it.

What doesn't make sense about the races of humans in Star Wars or Rings of Power? I don't really know what the rest of your comment is supposed to mean.

In the case of Star Wars, what would be a way that makes more sense for an Asian or black character?

Different races should be included that make sense.....WTF? Why wouldn't any race make sense? A character needs to be of a certain race for what reason?

Because a medieval village does not have random characters from different races that never showed up in that series before. Are you guys dumb or simply results of the US education system? WTF?

>Living in Portugal, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, and England. International trading cities such as Venice were multicultural magnets. It’s time to rethink everything we know about the presence of black people in Europe during this time period. The picture of the middle ages isn’t accurate without them.

See this is why I think you’re an idiot.

You’re not even reading your own articles. Surely there were in trading ports and big cities and castles. Surely not regularly in village towns with a handful of houses.

Ah yea I didn’t think of that. Surely it would be impossible for any of the thousands of black people in cities to ever appear in a village.

See this is why I think you’re an idiot.

Everyone read your post correctly, and it’s asinine. Now you’re doubling down by essentially saying “female characters should behave the way I want them to.”
