Woke corporations parade minorities around like trophies. The virtue signaling has been turned up to an 11 and people on both left and right can see right through it.
- atoav 4y agoYou think media companies have to go beyond virtue signalling and actually do something this time, just like the did in their century long history before? /s We as a humanity don't tell ourselves stories because the stories solve problems — we tell ourselves stories for a heap of other reasons. One such reason would be escapism: The creation of worlds in which people can fantasize themselves, because there is some character who is the way they secretly see themselves. This is why we have films with cool guys who fare well in critical situations while getting all the women. This is why we have horse themed films for teenage girls. I don't like horse themed films for teenage girls, but as a grown man I don't see why such things shouldn't exist. Same for films where the stories are based on the fantasies of other people who are not like me. Who am I to decide what other people should like?
