Wokefest
Surprised Bautista wasnt wearing a dress.
shareThe term "woke" simply means to be aware of social injustice going on around you. Tired of right-wing idiots like you whining and claiming that anything in a movie that dosent have white straight guys as the main characters. Get the fck over yourself. What a stupid thing to say---"wokefest". It's so funny how you right-wing nuts love to hijack popular social injustice terms, twist their meanings around, and use it as a catch-all phrase to throw at everything you don't like or understand, or anything that isn't about white people, period. Even if Bautista wore a dress in the film, nobody would have the guts to say anything to him about it, because it would be his damn dress, and nobody else's, lol.
shareYes, that's what woke means. And who could be against that? Or who could be against "All Lives Matter"? Because obviously all lives matter. Or how about "Black Lives Matter"? Again, clearly black lives matter. And who isn't really pro-life? Who isn't pro-choice? Almost everyone cherishes life and choice. And I suppose ANTIFA is undebatable, as you rarely see anyone saying they're "pro-fascist". In fact, going by their titles alone, it seems difficult to disagree with almost anyone!
But the argument isn't about the term, it's about what the term is loaded with. In the case against "woke", people aren't pro-sleeping to injustice. They're against the perception that injustice is everywhere and that we need to make hamfisted attempts to correct for it in places where it's either debatable to exist or has been proven not to exist at all.
When it comes to film and TV, when people get upset about the conspicuous amounts of diversity, it's not usually because they have anything against diversity. They dislike the implication that we needed to shoehorn in statistically improbable amounts of diversity in the first place. As this implies that the "injustice is everywhere!" mentality is true (and they don't believe it is).
And the heavyhanded amount of diversity in film and TV is so unsubtle that it's as distracting as blatant product placement. I don't think most would care about minorities being on film or TV, usually, because most aren't bigots. But when a series like The Walking Dead, say, has every single main character in either a gay or interracial relationship, it defies probability in a country with mostly white/straight people. You know it's not done for the sake of realism. Because that's no more an accurate representation of reality than having no minorities ever represented is. It's done to push a message, validate beliefs, and/or correct for problems that are debatable to exist.
Anyway, compared to most woke'd things, this movie wasn't too bad IMO. lol

5 Months later, and the wokies are still trying to bury their failed buzzword lol
shareWokeness is a state of awareness only achieved by those ignorant enough to find injustice in everything but their own behavior.
