So Trump has won the 2024 election. This seems to be one part of a big political realignment.
How much of that do you think will be reflected in pop culture? Are we finally going to see video games, movies, TV shows, etc. without Marxist propaganda, anti male or femininity plot points or mechanics, pronouns, or the blatant belittling of the aspects of traditional heroes?
On video games, will developers be less incentivized to do things like make them online only, hire firms like Sweet Baby Inc, put more time and care into the Day 1 releases, and be in a better position to make them more like how they were in the 2000s?
Or will we just see more of the same?
Bitter, angry people doubling down on destructive and divisive ideas being forced into mediums that were supposed to just entertain and uplift people. Destroying the mainstream pop culture world with a "better to burn out than fade away" philosophy.
I thought this is a great time to start a discussion like this.
Could Trump's victory and the ensuing political realignment mean an end to cultural wokeness and a return to putting one's customers first? I'd love to see your guys' thoughts on this topic.
I think the true believers will be more heavy handed with the propaganda, but wokeness overall will be less spread. They lost the coof momentum, trying to reach muh wider audience is futile when people can actually go outside and chose to not watch your shit, so media have to actually offer something that appeals to normies.
Execs have realized wokeness is brand poison, the plan was to make themselves look like socially responsible™ corpos and steamroll detractors by labeling as chudcels, but they can't anymore, they have realized not only chudcels are way larger of a group than they expected but in many cases chudcels are their actual costumers.
I don't think people understand how far the rot has gone up the chain.
