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.
