You have laid out perfectly what I’ve been saying for a while. I personally call it “the trifecta” referring to the constant over representation of black/lgbt/female (girl power). I know they say woke is used too much but how else to describe it. Also, people know the lgbt population is small so naturally it makes sense to get annoyed with it being shoved into everything or some racial narrative constant being talked about. One thing I noticed first is the constant push for women into male dominated hobbies/interests
" the constant over representation of black/lgbt/female (girl power)."
I've started calling black lesbians "Threefers", because every time they include one in something, it's three check marks in one character. It damn near guarantees whatever you’re watching is going to be a pile of woke crap. Watching American media today, you’d think nearly all black women were gay.
“Also, people know the lgbt population is small so naturally it makes sense to get annoyed with it being shoved into everything or some racial narrative constant being talked about. “
Something I wanted to note regarding that – you ever notice how, even with the deluge of woke content, you never see a gay male protagonist in a movie/show, unless it’s explicitly about being gay? There’s a reason for that. Straight men don’t want to identify with gay male characters. They just don’t. No amount of calling them “homophobe” will change this. When they need LGBT rep, it’s almost always a lesbian lead. Another thing – straight men have zero interest in a lesbian character that isn’t hot.
I don’t have an issue with gays and lesbians having their own content, or the occasional character who just happens to be that, or even a larger amount if there’s some intentional reason that isn’t virtue signaling (i.e. all-female civilization or whatever). But shoving them front-and-center into stories that having nothing to do with being gay is inherently off-putting, and the woke do it intentionally because they’re compulsive iconoclasts who loathe everything normal and need to “stick it to the cis white patriarchy” at every opportunity, even when it’s creating disdain and resentment for the same people they’re supposedly trying to help.
“One thing I noticed first is the constant push for women into male dominated hobbies/interests “
It’s about “fighting the patriarchy”. Male spaces are inherently a threat to women because you leave men alone in a group, it inherently fosters misogynist beliefs and practices, according to their bullshit ideology men are evil monsters who need to be monitored and kept in check at all times. You can see why feminism endears to so many oligarchs and tyrants, they’re never left wanting for an excuse to interfere with people’s lives.
I was illustrating to someone what has happened to male hobbies and said it would be like taking over hallmark and making war movies or action thrillers while calling the core fanbase toxic for wanting to see romance.
Like you, I used to not mind a gay character here and there and I’ve read plenty of books with gay characters but that wasn’t the focus. If they were more in proportion to the actual population that would be different. Like you said make gay themed content for a gay audience.
I laughed out loud about he black lesbian thing because that seems to be all over
