Since I get nerdy stuff across my feed still (what I haven't blocked) I came across one of the many "your hobby has always been woke/political" articles that make that argument and it was mainly praising the race/gender swaps in upcoming comic book movies and talking about how excited she was for America Chavez.
I tried to ignore it, but couldn't resist leaving a comment asking if all these books/comic books were always woke then why do they need to be "updated for a modern audience" (which is a phrase I have learned to hate). Also I asked if any of these people actually read comic books because America Chavez was not a successful character but I remember hearing they wanted her to be the next Spider-Man popularity wise.
The only response I got was something accusing me of gatekeeping and I was mad that straight white males are losing the spotlight. I simply responded with my same question if they actually read comic books to begin with
You are right. I am just so sick of the “your hobbies have always been woke” argument and couldn’t resist pushing back
They conflate treating people like people with being woke. They don't realize being woke is just the new modern racism. It takes the idea of what used to be social progress and fully assimilates it into their own ideology which is based on racism.
Agreed. Now not being racist is considered racist but endlessly making racial attacks on certain groups is “anti racist”. Crazy world my friend
Once you define racist as white, it's easy to be anti racist.
Go figure.
