How woke is this movie?

[–] liscarkat (19385) a year ago

Not woke at all. It was made in the early 1980s, when there was still some sanity left.

I mean sometimes they were more politically right. Like in Ghostbusters the antagonist is an EPA agent which doesn't fly over well with democrats today.

"The antagonist...."

Jesus christ. You guys are in the effing twilight zone.

I really don't get what the heck your problem with my post is. If anyone's in the twilight zone it's the people who think raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour doesn't effect prices, people who think the U.S government has the unlimited amount of money to pay for everyone's healthcare, and people who think taking 50% of Millionaires' and billionaires' money is a good idea. Those people also find it offensive the antagonist of Ghostbusters is an EPA agent.

"wokesploitation"

Good way to weaponize language exactly the way they do. I'm going to start using that term to describe modern movies with obvious pandering.

It's very unwoke.

Not at all, which is why the George Floyd Protestors threw piles of DVD's of this into the buildings of white-owned businesses they were burning to the ground in honor of their drug addict, pregnant woman assaulting hero.
