Not that it exactly makes me Nostradamus or anything, but I called this a thousand miles away.
It's the Netflix special. I didn't watch the first season, but some people seemed to like it, despite some race swapping and stuff. I'm assuming it was relatively decent, and apolitical. That's how they often operate in the first season of a new show. Then they hit you with full woke/communism/TDS in Season 2.
And with Stranger Things season 3 they were gonna have that guy and girl at ice cream shop be romantically involved which would’ve been an homage to the reformed jock and nerdy girl trope but they needed to subvert expectations and make her gay
The jock stereotype was invented by Hollywood writers who still have chips on their shoulders over being unappealing to women and blaming it on the competition instead of themselves.
I enjoy a lot of the usual suspects in the "fandom menace" as they call themselves. Drinker, Mauler, Nerdrotic, Ryan Kinel, etc. But there are a few glaring blind spots in that whole side of right leaning media culture. First, they (and I would argue a lot on the right in general) are so starved for non-leftist entertainment that they're like starving dogs who will eat any slop off the table so long as it's not literal shit. I mean, look at how many people were jacking off to Wukong simply for being a little better than the DEI slop shat out by western devs despite being literal Chinese propaganda. Western entertainment has sunken so low and become so awful that anything that is even 1% better is hailed as a massive victory and overly celebrated. This causes them to get too far out in front of the skis and they end up praising things that turn out to have been wokeshit all along. The amount of "Disney is DYING! New viewer numbers for [slightly less woke mediocre show] prove that the era of woke is OVER!" video headlines in bold red and white text is embarrassing. And every time it turns out a few weeks, a few months later that the thing they said killed woke or killed Disney ended up being pretty meh and only got worser later on. Being only a few molecules better than the worst of the worst is overly praised and celebrated, and they lose sight of all the ways that stuff is still almost as bad.
And then there's the whole "we'll produce our own!" cringe media put out by the Daily Wire and others, where the shows and movies are objectively pretty meh, with mediocre scripts, bad acting, and and over emphasis on just being "anti woke" because they want to "own the libs" instead of making the actual story or characters enjoyable on their own. The focal point of these productions is to just lampoon and parody leftist shit, and in the process they forget that they're supposed to be making something people will like, not just making something that is the opposite of other stuff they hate.
The second problem is more insidious. And that is very few of them understand the real motivation behind woke, and thus are not mentally prepared to understand the game that is being played against them. It's actually kind of related to the whole reason there's a KiA2 in the first place and how half-KiA was strictly "we're just about ethics in game journalism". There's a whole segment of the right leaning "nerdsphere" that has blinders on to the enemy we're facing and "just wants to play good video games". We see this manifest in the right-leaning media space in general, with the likes of Drinker, et al. It basically amounts to a single sentiment: "I'll gladly drink your poison so long as it tastes good". Their problem with woke media is that it's unenjoyable. They focus on the DEI hires who are bad at their jobs, the latest entitled mid-20s brown cunt hired to play the sassy girlboss in a movie, the soyjack open mouthed queers hired to write the latest Star Wars novel or TV show, the stuck up 23yo ethot who has a job in accounting that just TikToks themselves eating expensive snacks all day. And they think that if these people were replaced with competent workers, all would be better. They want their leftist propaganda to be more skillfully made and delivered to them. They don't actually seem to much care if it's filled to the brim with queer, feminist, racemixing, anti White, anti-Christian, anti-male, anti-Western ideology. Only that it's ham-fisted and obviously preachy. If it all of that poison was packaged with a tighter script, better acting, and sold with a friendly face instead of screaming at us that we're bigots, they'll happily slurp it all up. They don't understand that we are actually very fortunate the people who are deliberately trying to poison and kill our culture are terrible at their jobs and bumbling fools who step in their own shit so often. We'd be much much worse off if those propagandizing to us were actually good at doing (like China is).
Mauler is pretty well known to be a Leftist and he only ended being seen as more by people on the Right because his autism didn't let him get programmed towards slop as easily. Same with a lot of people on your list and the Fandom Menace as a whole.
Autism is right. Mauler went on an hours-long rant at Synthetic Man for calling God of War: Ragnarok woke and calling out Mauler for missing all the woke shit in it.
That's just one of the proofs that Mauler isn't anywhere near the Right. His criticisms over prior works were purely from an incompetence level, instead of a malicious one. You give him a high quality work without a historical or direct writing failure and he can't begin to discern the issues with it.
That was obvious before he even got big off TLJ, wherein he made a 13 hour video series shitting on Hbomberguy and how much of a shithead twat he was, but then ended it saying he was still going to watch the guy and he was otherwise an awesome, smart dude.
Its a real problem across all angles of our "side" where people assume that because someone fights one battle with you, they must be as "woke" to all the same things you are.
Yeah, Daredevil was great. But that's the exception to the rule.
Came out in April of 2015 in NA.
So really that and maybe ... hmm. If you like 80s nostalgia in your face, the first season of Stranger Things was decent too. I can't think of anything else they haven't tanked because the wrong people liked it and they're vindictive assholes.
It's not a curse, it's a plan. Attract an audience in the beginning with something not terrible, get them hooked, then feed them the poisonous ideology once they already have their mouths open for more.
For you maybe. But you're here on an obscure right leaning nerd website that itself is an offshoot of another obscure right leaning website. KiA2.win is a tiny clubhouse with at most a few dozen regular members. You aren't the mean by any means. The average normie outnumbers you several million to 1, and they keep falling for it.
Like Luffy, Trump is fighting a corrupt one-world government with his single-minded determination and a rag-tag group of rebels, outsiders, and smoking hot chicks.
You mean Dragon? Because Luffy only comes into conflict with the
World Government by chance, as he explores the world to see what's actually out there.
Sure they do, but not because they go looking for a fight. They're more than happy to party with them too if the chance arises. One of the major points of One Piece is the distinction between the real world full of unique individuals and the politics of the World Government.
They aren't going to stop until you stop giving them that pocket change. If they already have your money, you have no leverage, so stop giving it to people who hate you.
Its not. If anything it's an allegory to how the government fucks up everything when they rule the people. Crocodile is only given power as a Shinchibukai by the World Government and he uses it to rule Alabasta. Wapol is only given legitimacy as an absolute monarch by the World Government.
Which political party is aiming for a World Government? Not Trump MAGA Republicans. Trump is the individual, the Luffy, triumphing against a World Government through sheer will.
I think media is actually going to get continually worse until there’s a literal civil war.
Will we see literal Kekistani battleflags?!
As sad as it is, we've seen dudes die with NAFO memes on them in Ukraine. Kekistan is too old and busted to pop up again though.
Just remember: "The object of war is not to die for your Asuka patch but to make the other bastard die for his tranny flag." -- Patton
Oh shit I'm stealing
Either that or the Invisible Hand bitch-slaps them.
The real challenge will be to see if the market can remain irrational longer than they can keep printing money.
The Gender Wars will be over quickly.
Or we get hit with another Great Depression and there's no money to fund these bullies and their garbage.
Not that it exactly makes me Nostradamus or anything, but I called this a thousand miles away.

Also: Nitter Link
For Stranger Things, it was season 3. Little bit of girl power in the second, but the third was a mess.
For Voltron, it was the last, and completely unnneeded, last season.
And with Stranger Things season 3 they were gonna have that guy and girl at ice cream shop be romantically involved which would’ve been an homage to the reformed jock and nerdy girl trope but they needed to subvert expectations and make her gay
The jock stereotype was invented by Hollywood writers who still have chips on their shoulders over being unappealing to women and blaming it on the competition instead of themselves.
True. Or some fail to accept that some people are just more attractive than they are
Yeah, that broke the show a bit for me. I really liked the next season, but it still has that taint of corruption.
Far worse, the actual horror in season 3 was awesome. Flesh monster, Soviet insanity, a disconnected people. Yeah, that was supposed to be amazing.

It's the Netflix curse.
The first season of a given media, if not shitty, will be made shitty in season 2.
I can't think of a single thing they've done in the last decade that's worth watching beyond season 1.
I think Daredevil was just barely within the last decade, but that just proves your point that we have to go back that far to avoid their DEI cancer.
Yeah, Daredevil was great. But that's the exception to the rule.
Came out in April of 2015 in NA.
So really that and maybe ... hmm. If you like 80s nostalgia in your face, the first season of Stranger Things was decent too. I can't think of anything else they haven't tanked because the wrong people liked it and they're vindictive assholes.
It's not a curse, it's a plan. Attract an audience in the beginning with something not terrible, get them hooked, then feed them the poisonous ideology once they already have their mouths open for more.
That only works the first few times. Once you realize it always happens, your attention to them is gone, and their plans fail.
For you maybe. But you're here on an obscure right leaning nerd website that itself is an offshoot of another obscure right leaning website. KiA2.win is a tiny clubhouse with at most a few dozen regular members. You aren't the mean by any means. The average normie outnumbers you several million to 1, and they keep falling for it.
We will have to remind them that it will turn into shit. And it'll do it each and every time. Especially Netflix.

You mean Dragon? Because Luffy only comes into conflict with the World Government by chance, as he explores the world to see what's actually out there.
The Straw Hat crew tangles with Marines all the time.
Sure they do, but not because they go looking for a fight. They're more than happy to party with them too if the chance arises. One of the major points of One Piece is the distinction between the real world full of unique individuals and the politics of the World Government.
Didn’t One Piece start in the 90s? Although I remember in 16 every piece of classic literature was an allegory for Trump
Yea, I started watching it when I was a kid. I'm over 40 now...
Oh thank goodness, we’re back to everything is Trump.
"I am more than just "magical fictional pirates"-- I am a person, one with many interests"
No, dude. You are a fucking jester. Stop talking, take some of my pocket change and dance for me
P.s. anyone who says "if you will" is a fucking pretentious, pompous prick
They aren't going to stop until you stop giving them that pocket change. If they already have your money, you have no leverage, so stop giving it to people who hate you.
Unless it's Rod Serling doing an original Twilight Zone opening narration.
Still kind of pompous, but Rod Serling had the gravitas to pull it off.
Pro wrestling legend Dusty Rhodes said it all the time, "if you weeeeell."
Otherwise, yes.
He sounds like a total faggot.
One of the characters gets thrown on an island full of rapist trannies? Oh wait, that was later.
At this point if you still have a Netflix subscription you're officially part of the problem.
Stop being part of the problem.
So they're planning on going against the mangaka's artistic vision? Cool, I'll not watch it even harder now.
Its not. If anything it's an allegory to how the government fucks up everything when they rule the people. Crocodile is only given power as a Shinchibukai by the World Government and he uses it to rule Alabasta. Wapol is only given legitimacy as an absolute monarch by the World Government.
Which political party is aiming for a World Government? Not Trump MAGA Republicans. Trump is the individual, the Luffy, triumphing against a World Government through sheer will.
What a fucking clown.
That's a shame, the first season was actually pretty good. Guess the second season of woke continues.
