I have decided to list out some known warning signs that media as nearly 10/10 times it indicates the thing is pozzed.
-
Thin Line style: also referred to as the Cal-art's style by many critics. it's considered the most abused art style in media today and is only popular with regressive leftists who's reasons for liking it tend to be connected to their ideology or because they're Steven universe fans.
-
Dark skinned characters in the forefront without adequate lore justification: Done to cater to extremists.
-
Non whites, especially blacks, having exaggerated abet realistic racial features: Blatant warning sign of extremist pandering
-
Women who look too masculine/intentionally desexualized: this is done to cater to gender identity extremists, body positivity extremists, and adherents to objectification theory.
-
Trannies outside of humor or without legitimate lore justification: Done to cater to gender identity extremists with the only exceptions to this rule being pornography with TF type content.
-
Plots involving Neo-Nazis/White Supremacists and/or racist whites in general usually created past 2010: This is a blatant warning sign the plot involves regressive leftist propaganda.
-
Racemixing: done to cater to extremists
-
Race swaps of preexisting characters, including swaping the characters with a new nonwhite character.
-
Shoehorned references to homosexuality/bisexuality/alt sexualites and sexuality in general.
-
Regressive leftist lingo and buzzwords: lgbt[insert random crap here+], shitlord, fuckboy, etc.
-
Openly Identifying the product as "woke"
-
Hair styles popular with regressive leftists.
-
Literally anyone connected to the company expressing any behaviors that indicate they are a regressive leftist.*
The only exception to these signs is that the creator is openly rejects the regressive left and is not aligned with any other questionable ideology.
Be sure to suggest any other additions! Also, the mods should consider adding this to some sort of FAQ about identifying propaganda.
*this includes:
- having pronouns in the bio
- spewing regressive leftist propaganda and conspiracy theories
- having any regressive leftist memes on their account like the "socialist teeth" avatars
- outright identifying as a regressive leftist by calling themselves a:
-
- SJW
-
- intersectionalist
-
- trans rights activist
-
- "anti-racist"
-
- "anti-fascist" (also declaration of terrorist affiliation with Antifa)
-
- any variation of Marxist/communist/socialist/etc., though classical communist's may also identify under both the base terms and even some minor variants, and regressive leftists may still identify under Cultural Marxist in super rare cases even though the term was abandoned due to their conspiracy theories about it's origin.
-
- Critical (blank/insert anything else here) theorist
-
- Feminist, though it should be noted gender criticals also call themselves this.
- Openly declaring affiliation with any regressive leftist group
I posted this on c/gaming but got 0 upvotes I'll repost here.
woke ideology is inherently performative, it requires you to be actively anti-racist not just an idle non-racist you must actively have to perform your "affirmative action" acts to fight against the system of oppression.
plus sjws want to be seen as virtuously fighting racism and siding with the oppressed, therefore when sjws make a woke product they often flaunt it as a woke product so you will know very easily. but just in case...
signals the product is woke:
the maker state the product is woke.
makers or staff insult or gatekeep potential customers for their "wrong views"
woke character design. (you can only be able to tell this with experience. woke character designs have a distinct way to emasculate men and androgenize women, plus haircuts, clothes, and armor. etc)
The cast is diverse for the sake of being diverse, without or with weak in-setting explanations why the cast is such diverse.
Tokenism.
Side characters, background characters or worldbuilding is diverse for the sake of being diverse.
The race or gender of a character of a pre-established IP is swapped.
Sexual relationships and sexuality are brought up without or with weak in-setting explanations.
Sexual relationships and sexuality are brought up constantly (you must understand! knowing which gender this character prefers in the bed is important!)
The sexuality or gender of a character of a pre-established IP is changed.
woke mary sue: a particular form of mary sue when the characters reach higher leading positions without much build-up, but for the fact of being woke or a minority.
Galbrush paradox. (look it up)
No edgy. (can't risk offending someone)
carpet bombing of cussing words. (when you cannot make good jokes or be edgy because you could offend someone, the only thing you can do is work on the delivery of the joke and cuss a lot)
Other woke taboos: (ex: reip, no consent hand-holding, and love potions)
Product contains: Contemporary political lines, contemporary political figures are in the product, Contemporary political events are referenced in the product. (and you know who is gonna be the bad one)
Exclusive woke circlejerks lingo is used in the product.
Pronouns.
Pronouns but is actually used in dialogues.
all of the above are inserted into the product in a way that they are not integral. so they can easily be cut off when the product is sent to China
trigger warnings
products contain things "offensive for this era" warnings
the simpler way to prove that the product is not woke is to state it directly.
otherwise when you are marketing your product at a point you can show limited material, show any of the following: sexy female characters, feminine female characters, cleavages, characters that are fidel with the IP, setting that look fidel with the IP, edginess, no diversity and inclusion cast and design.
And it’s really ridiculous with period pieces.
