What a great capper, going to interiority, that much of the backlash is a result of failure to accept one’s own surfeit of meaning


Prominent genre brands like Star Wars, or Marvel, or Lord of the Rings also have the difficult task of creating content for children while still satisfying their middle-aged stalwarts, whose nostalgia is ultimately insatiable because they cannot look upon novel material with the same emotional intensity they felt as children. Many older fans are convinced they can’t recapture that intensity only because the producers themselves have failed to create stories of the same fundamental quality, when in reality they have simply outgrown the sentiment they are chasing. These campaigns seek to convince this audience that the feeling they are pursuing can be recaptured, if only those making popular art would reject modern progressive dogma—thus creating a well of cultural resentment they can manipulate for political purposes.


That is the deception of this campaign, which is not about protecting the integrity of art at all, but ensuring it serves a particular political purpose. In other words, these critics seek to turn art into propaganda for one cause rather than another. Maybe it’ll actually work. But even if it does, it will not make Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or any of the other stuff you liked as a kid Great Again, at least not in the way you want. People hoping otherwise will just have to grow up.

 

Indeed, maybe those kids books/movies simply cant provide you the same thrills as a grown ass man. The juvenilia of much of popular culture is a definite problem, chasing that PG-13 rating and all.

It's really quite simple.

Woke= MAGA for the left

 

Well, yes... in a way. Woke is the opposite of the racism and hatred of marginalized groups exhibited by MAGA. Nice insight. You're learning!

 

Pretty much. Anything maga world does not like=woke

 

Sure, woke is what uncreative critics use when they hate the message of a product but are unable to articulate their exact problem with it.

 

Like I said Woke = MAGA for the left

 

Here's some helpful guidance

Daily Wire host says it is unscientific to cast a Black person as a mermaid

 

@QGator2414 this is right up your alley

 

Yeah. What's next, red unicorns?

 

Maybe next he can tell us about the science of white rose leaves....

Talking about being woke just isn't the same as actual video of woke people in action.
