I’d like to believe news like this is a sign that the woke fad has run its course but then you look at the entertainment world and it’s the same as usual
Entertainment is weird because there is always a lag in them changing course and them actually coming out with things. Most of the movies and games we are seeing right now were created in 2018-2020 (at the height of Woke power) but are only just now coming out. Hell, some of them (like Dustborn) have been in the pipe even longer than that.
So even though they have started making a turn in some of the entertainment companies, it will be years before we actually see it, with 2026 being the earliest I have heard of for seeing it turn. But If it means anything, there are people who either work in the industry or have contacts in it (like Chris Gore) who are confirming that the change is happening. But unlike traditional industrial corporations like John Deere, Tractor Supply, or Ford, they are not cutting universally. So we will still see the likes of Disney riding that bomb all the way to the ground like it is the end of Dr. Strangelove, but others are going to make the turn when they can.
Great reference. I love Dr Strangelove and still need to read the book. I remember as a kid there is a parody of Homer riding the bomb in a Simpsons episode so when I saw Strangelove I was like that’s what they referenced. Also love the Vera Lynn song that plays.
You do have a point. I’ve seen some modern stuff where there are no woke talking points but I can’t help notice no matter the location everywhere is perfectly diverse. Funny thing is that years back I wouldn’t have noticed but they are to blame for constantly talking about race
