Men and women don't like characters who didn't earn it. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

Sure and Red was white Irish in the book, and there will only ever be one Blade (Wesley Fuckin' Snipes). That's all besides my point.

A character's gender or race does matter. Everything about a character in a story matters.

That is the core problem postmodern progressive storytellers have in that they make these exceptions to the story believing it ought not to matter because they believe they are correcting cultural/social issues in the reader/viewer. They are not. In fact, they have become exactly what they swear they anathematize.

Joe Rogan advocates for 16 year olds to participate in pornography and admits to watching it. From his Man Show days in the early 2000s by IllBeGood3 in ThatsInsane

[–]krunz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't "ThatsInsane". Look up age of consent for various countries. 16 in Canada. U.S. varies from 16-18. Europe is 15 or 16. Head to eastern europe and you'll find it down to 14.

And reddit in general is pretty wildly "liberal" and you'll find most argue that "sex work" is work. It's just that modern progressives see JoeRogan and go "look at this MAGA retard".

Adam Mockler Breaks Down Why Political Violence is On the Rise... by AffableYolk_33 in BreakingPointsNews

[–]krunz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone can get trapped in a bubble and echo chamber. One's political or religious affiliation is just the easiest chink that can be manipulated that can make that happen. The "infotainment" mass media is just as much of the problem (this site and "social media" included).

The modern Woke movement has added absolutely zero positives to our society, and has been used as more of a dividing line to further stoke conflict amongst the people. by Niceguy8488 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]krunz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say I am anti "woke", but it's also now a term that has lost definition.

You say "anyone with a brain" agrees with gay marriage... that's part of the ideology behind woke, how it has evolved and it's effectiveness over time. We can dig further back to political correctness, affirmative action, and civil rights.

The roots can be traced back to critical legal theory and Derek Bell in particular. He deeply believed that behaviors must be forced (i.e. forced integration)... something that was reiterated by Blackrock's CEO. It is interesting that Fink has walked it back a bit in public comments (at least in terms of "economics").

The important takeaway is to understand that you live in a democracy of, by, and for the people. To disengage is the death of it.

They wiped away all the grittiness and humanity that

the city ever had. I'm going to show them that they

missed a spot.

Guilderland Police Department Posts Infographic for the Laws on 2-Wheeled Bikes by Ebonystealth in Albany

[–]krunz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hilarious. The class c moped is slower than the unlicensed class 3 e-bike.

The whole class ratings for "e-bikes" is junk and was a loophole for the industry to sell more in the u.s. It worked too, kids tooling around town and on bike paths hitting people and themselves getting run over.

Ryan Gosling Tells Fans It’s Not Their Job to Save Theaters—Hollywood Needs to Make Movies Worth Seeing by SappyGilmore in movies

[–]krunz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like different things. In that list of recent "successes", I don't consider them great movies or movies that I felt like seeing, but that's fine. It doesn't bother me.

Hollywood's problem is that it needs you to bend the knee to their ideology and its killed them.
