You can tell how bad it is when we see one black person in a bit of media and go 'woke as fuck' immediately.
This isn't an attack on this forum, I'm saying how much DEI and other such pushes have made the causal audience VERY jaded to race in media.
Hell, it's even been talked about by the critics. 15, 20 years ago, black main characters in things (where appropriate) would've been normal, unremarkable. Now because of the damn cult, the very sight of one is an instant red flag. How do you make that go away, even after the hypothetical purge of wokism?
It also doesn't help that when you cast decent black actors they misuse them in terrible writing.
Biggest example was Force Awakens, EVERYONE was looking forward to Boyega being a Stormtrooper turned into a Jedi story only for him to be badly cut down in that film for Ray to 'shine' then be a walking one for the next two films.
Let's be honest here, NO ONE was looking forward to John Boyega before the movie. The thing is, then the movie came out, and we saw the potential of Finn as a character. And at the same time, watched them squander it, having him slaughter his former mates, the people he was fucking RAISED alongside, while screaming "DIDJU SEE THAT?!? DIDJU SEE THAT?!?"
"Traitor!!!" was the best part of that film, and I never bothered with the rest.
And this happened a DAY at most after he completely froze up in his first battle where one of his brothers-in-arms died in his arms. It was a shock to him that he fled the battlefield and practically deserted. Seriously, what the fuck? This is not how a regular human being acts. That's how a remorseless psychopath acts.
Fair enough, it's just the wasted potential thanks to contrived circumstances due to writing that turns me off more than diversity but the two come as a bundle set.
Like how they raise Boba in the mandalorian to knock him down in his own series or the recent Suicide Squad game. The only way they can make their characters 'look good' is to knock down the previous generation because they lack the talent to show it any other way.
I would think now that you would see less masculine black men or if he is masculine then it will be revealed that he is gay. I’ve seen that trope with white make characters.
They could go with the muslim thing because religion is purely aesthetic to the woke cult. The main character could be muslim in the sense that they wear an arabic looking outfit and make vague references to allah every now and then.
Eh, no. Boyega is just as woke as the rest of them.
Quoting myself from a year or so ago
They can fix it just by stopping talking about it.
Rush Hour was a huge hit, with a black guy and a Chinese guy as the main characters. If that same exact movie was made today, the marketing would be SEE THE BLACK AND ASIAN! REPRESENTATION MATTERS! THIS IS THE FIRST MOVIE IN HISTORY WITH BLACK AND ASIAN LEADS!
Unfortunately they couldn't even figure out how to make the same movie for part 3 in 2007.
Then when it failed they would complain about racist whites not seeing a stunning and brave minority movie that they were told wasn't made for them.
You don't.
The left thrives off cultural marxism, encouraging racial division was always their goal.
