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.
Because the Left is purely defined through War. As Clausewitz describes it, it is the attempt to use your will to overwhelm your opponents will.
These people see everything through the lens of warfare. Including racial divisions. The racialists see everything through the "racial theory of history" which asserts that each race and ethnic group is fighting a zero sum game against one another for dominance.
Simply put: they are claiming ownership over certain cultural artifacts. They are opposed to you interfering with those artifacts because your presence is a threat to their control over it. On the other hand, something they consider to be your cultural artifact should be stripped from you or diluted in order to weaken your control over it. It is not hypocrisy or a double standard to them. They are not applying a universal principle outside of power alone. Your power is a threat to thier's. No further elaboration is needed. It is simply a tactic in an ongoing war.
As an enemy group, your ability to defend your interests or artifacts is simply not their concern. Watch something else, use your own artifacts, do not touch theirs. They will take yours until you tell them to stop. The moment you do, they will attack you for saying no because that is what you do when your enemy shows you resistance.
Again, think about this only from the perspective of power and you will understand. They see comic books and gaming as an effective means of propaganda and control. They see these industries as enemy strong points to be seized. Nothing more.
No general ever said "Sugarloaf Hill? I really like that hill. I would like to take it because it fits my interests." They only say, "Take Sugarloaf Hill. It has a commanding view of the enemy fortifications, and I need you to put artillery on it."
Comics are nothing more than a battlefield position to dominate. Literally nothing more. The only thing that matters is power.
They have this need because of racialist propaganda. Useful Idiots to racialists associate everything with their racial identity. It is the core of their being. Nothing outside of their race should effect them. Only things within their race can be appreciated. Things of their race should be praised. Things outside of their race are to be dismissed or condemned. Their racial identitarianism defines them. They understand intersectionality as a philosophy of self. You are empty vessel of which your intersecting collective identities converge, nothing more. You are merely an extension of your collective. Your collective is all that you are, all that you're capable of being, and your collective is more than you. You should be proud of being part of something larger than your worthless self.
