I came across one of those "it's not for you" articles. Basically saying the same thing we have gotten used to hearing regarding diversity/representation. It basically said that those who don't like diversity should not watch it and it isn't for us. I long ago gave up trying to explain that diversity for the sake of diversity is poison for entertainment and that I don't care what color they are, but if the show exists to peddle fake narratives (racism/sexism) then the show will fail.
I waved the white flag a while back and just decided with few exceptions to only watch/read stuff from 2014 and prior. Luckily with video games I am a Skyrim addict and with mods I can play forever. I doubt Bethesda would go woke with Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield.
What I don't understand is this. Why is it they can tell us "don't watch it" or "it's not for you" but they get so upset if we suggest the same thing. Like if a new show comes out that doesn't meet the woke mafia's standard for diversity/representation why can't we just say "well if the cast is too white then it isn't for you or you can just watch something else"
And one thing I will never understand as a lifelong comic book reader/collector is why so many feminists get into comic books or gaming for that matter if they hate the hobby so much. I've known plenty of female fans or gamers who legitimately like the hobbies but I doubt they would be able to get a position with those companies. Perfect example of this is that lady that is in charge of the She-Hulk show. She can't shut up about how evil white male nerds are and how horrible western literature is but she has no problem making money off of a character created by a white guy. Oh yea, that is another triggering thing. Telling these people to make their own material.
But does anyone have any idea why this mindset or double standard exists? Sometimes I feel like an oddball because I am a 40 year old black American and I understand that the U.S. is majority white, so I am not going to throw a fit when most of the entertainment is done by whites. Plus I think someone has personal issues if they have to see themselves represented in everything they watch. But what do I know.
What it really comes down to is, this is Not. About. Race. It never has been. It's about ideology. Race is just a tool, a wedge being hammered into the cracks of Western Civilization, especially the US, by collectivist totalitarians who want to break us apart so they can rule over the pieces.
All those who think they are in opposition to the commies but are all, "muh joooz, muh joggers, muh demographics" are just self-destructing by contributing to that fragmentation.
Demographics are not destiny. Look at the results of the election. Despite being carpet bombed by the media for four long years about how he is the most racist, homophobic and fascist president in the universe, Trump gained record votes from blacks, latinos, and gays that no Republican candidate has had for a hundred years.
That's because, despite all the pandering from the Democrats, people in those demographics are starting to see that there is something very, very fucky going on in the establishment, and despite Trumps many, many flaws, he serves as a fat, grimy thumb in the eye of that establishment.
If you've ever compared any of the collectivist, authoritarian regimes which resulted in death and human suffering beyond comprehension, to the flawed, but still viable implementation of the ideals put forth in the Declaration of Independence, and the US Constitution...
If you would rather live in a society that values individual character and reason over tribalism and superstition...
If you believe that mankind's most prosperous state is individual liberty, tempered by personal responsibility...
If you believe that it is better to die standing for what you believe than to merely exist on your knees...
You need to be willing to stand up and say, "I will stand with anyone who shares these values, because without these values, everything is lost."
To do otherwise is to submit to totalitarian dystopia.

You're incredibly naive.
Am I? Or are you incredibly narrow in your view of humanity?
Do you understand the concept of evolution?
If all non-whites had low IQ, they’d all have voted for BIden, and again, we saw record numbers of non-whites vote for the pro-freedom candidate. Remember that shit’s an average, an average.
