I know there are quite a few on here who like super progressive ideology bleeding into their entertainment and get very defensive of it, and offended when others aren't fans of it like they are.

So I decided to start a thread for those who keep an eye on this type of stuff and the fanboys of woke can steer clear of this thread if it bothers them. But hopefully this can be a place to aggregate such discussions and examples and keep them from crossing over into movie/show-specific threads.

I've got two contributions. One kind of serious, because it is straight up racist and reflects hiring practices by a major corporation that could affect your children (if they are of a certain race or gender). The other one is so absurd it's hilarious...

For this funny one...I present to you the absolute greatest acting job of all time. Imagine how difficult it would be to deliver such insanely absurd lines with a straight face...without breaking character. Who is this acting genius?

It's so incredible, it would almost be over-the-top ridiculous as a satirical skit designed specifically to make fun of such absudity.

This thread is going to be frontally assaulted by the wokeism isn't real gaslighting brigade and then napalm struck off of the board by mods. Better luck in the politics board.

Possibly...there are some "woke-deniers" out there who insist that we are crazy and that none of this is happening, but hopefully some of the material on this thread influences them to be a bit more open minded.

Regardless, this is very "Entertainment" related imo.

It always is, it's literally the driving force behind the content and interwoven into the story and dialogue, nevertheless threads like these don't last long.

so......this tv show is making a serious point that racism causes cancer?

i'm not saying that some of this doesn't stuff exist. I believe it absolutely does, but nowhere near the scale you F16 people believe. But its absolutely hilarious to see the anti-woke/F16 crowd asking people to be more open-minded.

My wife and I were looking for a new show to watch and landed on New Amsterdam. Throughout the entirety of the first season, every episode had a slight woke agenda, but it was never so bad that you couldn't ignore it and the show was entertaining enough.

Until that clip.

It's early in season two and when he delivered the line I picked up the remote and turned off the show. I have no idea what was said after that, bc it was a full stop.

Think what you want, have whatever political beliefs you want, but that was too much for me.

The Amsterdam scene is probably the most ridiculous woke I've ever seen.

Problem is, libs will now take it as truth. Watch.

This thread is like the South Park of the Entertainment board.

Put in another thread about it! Make it lame and gay!

Remember, when its said we are in a golden age of TV, they often turn a blind eye to the dopiness of prime time TV.

When you watch many of these shows and the scenes like the one above from New Amsterdam, you clearly see why writers are afraid of AI

Don't notice things! Just consume media.

Watch the procedural tv show, "Alert: Missing Persons Unit", and then tell me it doesn't exist to the scale F16 people believe.

The show features a police officer who uses voodoo (numerous episodes in season one using eggs in different ways) and talks about past lives routinely.

In season two, they added a police woman in a wheelchair, but all she does is have one line saying, "So and so is on the phone" or "so and so is waiting in the interview room", etc. Literally ONE LINE per episode. Then she turns around and wheels away.

In the finale of season two, two of the lead characters get married, and as soon as the groom kisses the bride, he says he needs to make an announcement, at which time he whips out his cell phone, starts playing a pop song, and a drag queen we have never seen before comes bursting in singing, and they all start dancing. There was absolutely NO lead up to it in the story. Just completely out of the blue.

Oh, and there's a trans-man (born a woman) with a beard who wants to date a woman, but he can't get up (no pun intended) the courage to tell her that he's trans. When he finally does, she just plants a big ol' kiss on him like it's ridiculous he was worried about that bothering her.

I recommend checking out Lonestar: 911. The first episode has Rob Lowe and his gay son get sent from NY to the Austin Fire Department because of the AFD chief being too racist previously, and a bunch of the previous fire fighters had died in a fertilizer factory explosion. His new star firefighter ends up being a something like a trans Muslim woman (she might have just been a lesbian, I can't completely remember). One of the other big storylines was the interracial marriage with the white fire fighter who was the one survivor from the factory explosion. He had lost all of his old friends and comrades, but he didn't understand how hard a time his wife was going through as a person of color.

That's episode 1.

even though black females make up less than 7% of the country, in every Hollywood movie or TV show they are the Senior Captain of the Police, the Mayor, the District Attorney, or the Judge. Look at the numbers below, and these are FEDERAL JUDGES. the rates are much lower for state and county courts.

"What percentage of U.S. judges are black?

11.5%

As a result, the percentage of Black judges on the federal bench rose from 9.5% in 2020 to 11.5% as of Oct. 1, 2023. Overall, 163 federal judges identified as Black and another 10 identified as partially Black. The first African American federal judge took office in 1945."

Why do you guys sit through these awful shows? When I watch a show and it sucks, I turn it off immediately. Don't you have anything better to do?

I don't watch broadcast television, period. But "woke" broadcast television is a whole other level of "hell no." Sometimes I think people watch this crap solely to be able to b*tch about it on the internet/TexAgs, because it's the only way they know how to express or define themselves.

There are other examples. This is just one more.

Most are not quite as woke-filled as this one, though. I'll give you that. But it's everywhere.

"Found" is another procedural that isn't quite as bad as "Alert", but it's still there. They have several episodes where the missing person is a minority, and the main star of the show makes a comment about how "people like so and so aren't cared about", or "this is one so and so we're not going to just ignore", etc.

You have a whole thread here with examples. I shouldn't have to give every single one.

But why?! The animated movie is about as good as you're gonna find in modern family animated cinema.

A live action remake is absolutely unnecessary.

But so were the Disney live action films that were originally animated.

you came to the table with an argument telling me to watch one show to prove the point. you can come back and point elsewhere now, but that wasn't what your showed up with.

we can stop the back and forth b/c you are either purposely ignoring or missing the point. have a good one.
