“I don't need nonstop gun shootings, 2 1/2 hr movies that could be shown in 90 min, endless duologues, and woke lessons. I need solid movies with the right mix

“I don't need nonstop gun shootings, 2 1/2 hr movies that could be shown in 90 min, endless duologues, and woke lessons. I need solid movies with the right mix of action, fun, and sophistication.”
A comment I’ll repost.
- NoPicklez 1y agoSounds very ambiguous to me
- abenga 1y agoAnd a comment we'll file with all the other stuff complaining about "wokeness".
- adfm 1y agoSeriously, can someone explain "woke" to me like I'm five years old?
- krapp 1y agoWoke is an adjective derived from African-American English used since the 1930s or earlier to refer to awareness of racial prejudice and discrimination, often in the construction stay woke. The term acquired political connotations by the 1970s and gained further popularity in the 2010s with the hashtag #staywoke. Over time, woke came to be used to refer to a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism and denial of LGBTQ rights. Woke has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and reparations for slavery in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke ... although the term has been captured and repurposed into a generic anti-progressive pejorative. Basically anything that isn't racist, sexist and "based" is now "woke."
- adfm 1y agoWikipedia adds spice, but deflects legitimacy as a primary source. The five year old has a hard time processing “generic anti-progressive pejorative” and wants to take a nap. #staywoke (am I using that correctly? See, I’m still unsure.)
- krapp 1y agoSorry, I didn't realize you were literally a five year old. Your posting history suggests you're a prodigy for your age and should be able to comprehend more than basic Kindergarten level English but maybe you should ask your parents.
- adfm 1y agoI speak with children all the time and gain insight from the conversations I have consistently. They tend to cut through the bullshit. It’s great when you can quote someone without having to interpret or explain what they’re saying. Pass it on.
- anonfordays 1y ago>Basically anything that isn't racist, sexist and "based" is now "woke." Wrong, plenty of the "woke" are racist and sexist.
- slater 1y agoNo, they're not. In any case, anyone using "woke" as a pejorative is doing everyone a favor, as they can be summarily ignored.
- anonfordays 1y agoYes, they are. In any case, anyone using "woke" as virtuous is doing everyone a favor, as they can be summarily ignored.
- alganet 1y agoSometimes bad scary monsters lock people together in two different groups and trick them to fight each other. Those groups always have funny weird names. It's a kind of uniform for them. Wherever the group goes, they use the same uniform. "woke" is one of those uniforms, kid. If you see a funny weird group name, run from it and wear something else.
- adfm 1y agoWhen I was young, there was a point where I had to choose between dragons and dinosaurs. I admit the fire-breathing bit impressed me, but it was the “There be dragons” that captivated me. Actual dragons? Sure enough, all I found were dinosaurs. So many dinosaurs.
