Too woke for Japanese audience!

A mixed race female samurai in Edo period? One reviewer said "transsamurai"! Most of the 10* reviews are fake. Netflix of course.

Have you even seen it to know what it actually deals with, or are you the type that just wants to spout off without any actual knowledge.

Tried to watch it but it's bad.

Your just gay AF if you think this show is woke or bad. It's a great revenge story and is not "WOKE" at all. She is a woman pretending to be a man because women had no rights during this period. If you honestly think women never pretended to be a man during this time your blind and ignorant to history. The story is awesome how she learned her skills and she even got married and fell in love but was betrayed by her Ronin husband because he couldn't handle the fact she bested him in a sparring match. The final episode is basically the Game of Death on steroids. The show also has the best animation I've ever seen. It's great I'd give it 8/10.

This being netflix - imdb ratings/reviews being bought - and the summary alone ticking off all woke agenda points - I suspect you're right.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he/she was indeed trans, and viewers will learn that in the 2nd season - lol

I saw the extremely overhyped 'Arcane', which features juvenile plot/characters. It's another one of those 'strong female lead' pieces (in other words, woke BS, which explains the very poor writing) - I ain't watching another one of those.

I can't wait until the grifters you listen to talk about something else so I don't have to hear this same bullshit over and over and over again.

Well, depends on what "woke" is. If it's a tv show or movie with a well done, strong female character, it's not necessarily woke. But if it has female characters instead of male, just because (like Ghostbusters 2016 or Oceans 8), then it's woke shite.

What would happen if the female cast of Oceans 8 were "strong and well done" ?

Would be a better movie?
