Recently I saw the criticism of "you guys call anything with a female or minority woke", and I foolishly engaged this person in an argument. This person was in their late teens (yes I know it was stupid to bother but I thought I could make him see he was wrong). He just stopped responding to me when I pointed out that there are plenty of female/minority characters that were liked across the board but now we live in a time where we are told that we have to like garbage movies or shows or we are bad poeple.
Honestly to me Woke means endless race/gender swaps, overhyping something because it was written or directed by a female/minority, and the ridiculous overrepresentation of lgbt.
My question is, is it even worth trying to fight against all this or just do like I do and mainly watch or read stuff from 2014 and prior? I follow certain youtubers and if they recommend a new show I'll check it out, but I do wonder what purpose it serves to go after DC, Disney, Star Trek, etc since they have shown that they hate us. One of my favorite nerd rants last year was when Eric July was pissed about the lady who was in charge of the Scarlet Witch show because she said she never read comic books and didn't know who Mephisto was. Stuff like this just pisses me off because if we suggest that maybe she do some research into the lore behind her show we are sexists.
So is it worth it to keep fighting?
If you stopped at the first sentence you would garner support and be closer to achieving your goals. Instead you continued to the second and lost support. You need to be far more strategic in your approach.
Why? Why aren't we allowed to say that women have far more hate for men than we could ever have for them?
Because of how human psychology works as informed by human biology.
People are always going to innately favor women because doing so serves an evolutionary advantage for the species. Understand and accept this and tailor your strategy accordingly.
Your direct attack of going on about female genocidal fantasies of culling men is going to produce a lizard brain response of outright rejection of anything you have to say. However, appealing to a simple sense of personal autonomy of not letting the words of others control your behavior if much more accessible. Push on the fronts where you can reasonably achieve victory. Getting people to be ok with being called sexist is doable and still serves your goal of keeping women in check and deter them from wreaking havoc on society. Women ain't gonna pull off a genocide if men become ok with being sexist and subsequently ok with asserting authority over women.
