When I was young the world was pure and innocent, but then I learned about politics and everybody started doing it.
In my view, Star Wars has actually been quite conservative. So I guess it IS relatively woke now?
Well Lucas saw it as an allagory for resistance against empire so there may be something in there to muddy up simple conservatism. Nothing is simple.
Star wars is woke now
It’s spelt wookie
Woke Ness Monster
…also, Dude, monster is not the preferred nomenclature, uh, aquatic-horror, please
i had a chuckle when i read some comment complaining about star trek discovery being “woke” LOL
dude, of all the shows ever, which one do you think practically INVENTED what you call “woke”?
There are conservative Star Trek fans and it’s really weird. They ignore the diversity and the socialist utopia and just focus on pew pew space battles.
Just out there rooting for the cardassians
Garak doesn’t give a shit about gender, only secrets.
Even a Cardassian like Damar eventually puts the logic together to realize that all the racism he and his fellow Cardassians were doing to Bajor, well, it ended up happening to them via the Dominion. You can almost watch the realization towards the end of S7 of DS9 where he realizes he will need to lead a resistance movement, which had previously contributed to the downfall of Cardassian occupation of Bajor.
To miss the message of that show, even if you watch it from a Pro-Cardassian standpoint, takes real work. The themes are served to you on a silver platter for the taking.
“I only watch Star Trek for the Klingons”
Lmao, no they dont.
Klingons have brown skin.
Maybe they watched it for the original Klingons? (Brown face)
So you’re saying they watch for the Remans? Makes sense they would like Nemesis.
I liked it back when it was anti imperialist, anti capitalist, anti racist, and promoted socially progressive relationships, not like now when it’s anti imperialist, anti capitalist, anti racist, and promotes socially progressive relationships!
Which is hilarious because (and I say this as a huge Trek fan) the pew pew space battles are easily the worst part of Star Trek, production-wise.
rage against the machine lmao that’s like saying system of a down is woke now

And just to remind everyone of his qualifications, https://exclaim.ca/music/article/tom_morello_schools_troll_who_questioned_his_political_knowledge
Imagine hearing the name of the band and thinking that The Machine was the hero.
Politicized media discourse is so annoying. The Disney Star Wars trilogy wouldn’t magically become good if conservatives were in charge of it. Crap writing is crap writing, no matter what ideology (or lack thereof).
Conservatives being in charge of writing produced such masterpieces as Mr. Birchum and Ladyballers. Both Benny Shaps and Jeremy Boering failed to make it in Hollywood as writers for a reason.
Conservative writing is just an endless stream of punching down.
Sounds like people who weren’t aware before are now woke
They’re all woke except X-Men, which is “work” now.
Oh no, does that mean Barbie is woke now too?
(Just kidding, Barbie has always been woke.)
Barbie always being woke? I assume you mean the movie.
No, I meant Barbie in general.
Before Barbies, dolls for girls were always baby dolls, and Barbies were part of the change that showed women can have careers and be more than homemakers.
I thought we addressed that pretty well with during the opening “2001: A Space Odyssey” sequences.
Teen Talk Barbie got a lot of shit for “Math class is tough!”
Me and Teen Talk Barbie get the problem with math class.
That’s Malibu Stacy, my friend!
Star Trek. (Always has been)
Disney is woke.
I shortened it for you.
The best part of this meme is that it takes into account the fact that they haven’t figured out how unimaginably, purposefully woke The Matrix is
The Boys is what always got me. It was “woke” from the first season, criticizing evangelicalism and corporatism, themes that were (and still are) major topics of debate today. As the show goes on, it tackles more ongoing issues like rainbow capitalism, police brutality, and now, rising fascism in America, and it’s only woke now?
I had a friend go “yea I dont like how they just made Frenchie gay now” like dude, he is one of the fruitiest characters I’ve ever seen. And he has always been like that. I feel like anti LGBTQ+ people just dont have people skills and can’t tell if someone is queer. That would explain why they keep insisting that back in the day noone way bi and all that.
The morons didn’t realize you’re not supposed to be cheering for Homelander.
Granted, I’m a fucking idiot, but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander? He was an obvious piece of shit from the outset, and in my opinion, people from almost any political bent would have acknowledged that.
Like, I see this sentiment that “homelander was making fun of you the whole time and you didn’t know it” meme, but I feel like it attacks a strawman that completely did not/does not exist.
I’ve never watched an episode but have a general idea of the premise. It seemed pretty obvious that Homelander wasn’t the protagonist from the basic understanding I had of the show and the promotional material.
Watch some interviews of people at maga rallies to find them.
but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander?
early on in the show’s life, absolutely yes, i saw plenty of people doing just that
Is the boys really woke or just anti maga? Or is woke now just anti maga?
Woke is anti MAGA, but also other things.
I would say MAGA is anti woke, and woke is whatever dear leader wants it to be
The world need more strong independent female figures.
/s.
