Holy shit, even a series about Dracula has to be woke! :-(

1) With rare exceptions (Clint Eastwood, for instance) creative people tend to be left wing or FAR left, politically, so the woke movement appeals to them because everybody they know is on-board politically. Nothing needed to be "organised". "You don't need a formal conspiracy when interests converge." - George Carlin

2) The moguls sense that there's a big demographic that love this sort of thing - that means money. Money is king.

3) Cancel culture scares people. They don't want to be accused of being racist or be picketed or brought up before a human rights tribunal because of complaints. If a show gets shut down, no money. (see rule 2: money is king).

The same way it's possible for a religion to go mainstream and become infused into every aspect of society.

LOL at your pathetic attempt to "flip the script," Sir Cucks-a-Lot. SJWs (you know, like yourself) are inherently the whiner/triggered/snowflake crowd. It doesn't work the other way around, because a rational complaint doesn't fall into the whiner/triggered/snowflake category; only irrational complaints do.

Irrational complaints from simps like you have resulted in modern "woke" horseshit being injected into, for example, a movie or show set in the past, and "woke" shit in general infesting everything, taking precedence over good story-telling and good casting decisions, and destroying verisimilitude. Complaining about it is rational because it's ruining movies and TV shows, i.e., it's at odds with good writing. That should be obvious, given that it's a political agenda (identity politics) rather than a natural element of creative writing.

1. In Dracula? Nope, no strong female lead. And no strong male lead neither with the only exception of Van Helsing. Main characters in Gothic literature weren't particularly strong.

2. In Dracula? Nope, no blacks or indians or anything of the sort, unless such characters appear in the original work, which they don't. If you want to add new characters, make them consistent with the historical period and the genre.

3. Personally, I don't give a shit about the political opinions of the cast. I'm just not interested. Anyway, it's quite funny that you talk about some imaginary scenario where actors that don't think like James Woods are blacklisted while... in the real world, it's James Woods the one that has been actually blacklisted in Hollywood for his political opinions.

4. In Dracula? No politics unless it appears in the original work. Personally, I don't mind some politics in period dramas. Downton Abbey had quite some politics and I love the show. But, if you're doing a XIXth drama, I'd like to see XIXth politics and debates. Don't inject modern politics in a period drama. That's just concealed propaganda.
