gently caress, that means he's not a lizard. As we learned in the Louis CK Donald Rumsfeld interview, Lizards aren't allowed to straight out say "No, I'm not a lizard," they have to deflect.

They're rejecting it because they are becoming the authoritarians themseleves, know it, and as you said know this is something bad that they are supposed to be against. Not hard to see why it would be a lot easier going for them if no one brought up that troublesome (outdated, privileged, white\man-splainy) a-word anymore.

pretty much. i think alot of them just excuse it with buzzwords or do the "well technicaly" poo poo. i know half of those fucks would legit censor movies/books/games/etc for violence/nudity/"problamatic" elements if they could while hiding behind "much critcal theory". that being said the "free speech" people on the right dont give two fucks about free speech and are just a bitchy/thin skinned/oversensitive as the libs if not worse they poo poo on.

there will be plenty of both, i'm sure. replace "resist trump" with "here's how this scene in the latest GoT episode relates to this political event right now" and they've written plenty of that over the past few seasons, along with handwringing over "problematic" content

yeah. pretty much. though honestly/sadley, GoT strikes me a more politically realistic then the west wing and poo poo like that.

I think the whole country was in a drunken, hazy, state after 9/11, so it was primed to get taken advantage of. I think that a lot of people have repressed memories of it because they did in fact see something truly horrifying being broadcasted on television that day.

A lot of people lashed out in different ways, but bottom line is that's kinda what happened. I think it didn't really hit people hard until 2005 or so how hosed things were.

The anger towards Dubya predates 9/11 though. 2000 election was not a good time for our country.

Marvel comics descended into pure asinine asshatery from all the """commentary""" they were trying to do during the Bush years from which they never recovered. (never 4get the time Hulk tried to kill captain america for calling him gay in the ULTIMATES SATIRICAL GEORGE BUSH POLITICAL COMMENTARY comics line. peak 2003.)

DC may have done this too but my boyfriend didn't read DC so I couldn't bum those comics off him. Point is, pop culture has been tied up in political tracts for over 10 years now and it's degraded trash entertainment lower then we thought possible.

Marvel is in a weird place right now, they are still rich as gently caress because Disney and the movies but their comics part has been circling the drain for a while. A lot of it has to do with how they sell them and how the keep pushing dumb plots and making GBS threads out terrible heroes that are just there to capitalize on woke poo poo. Some of the work really well a lot don't.

The funniest thing about Marvel comics haphazardly adapting faux-woke crap is that their movies division wrote into contracts with Sony that Peter Parker has to be white.

yeah pretty much. representation makes people feel good and isnt a bad thing at all, i know as a cripple it was cool to see BJ Blaskowitzs kill nazis while pedaling around in wheelchair in the new colosus trailers. but the wokes dont give a gently caress aboutphyscialy disabled people unless they can make stupid garbage like me before you and that gently caress awful green book/movie. god i hate the "terminal handsome magic romantic cripple" trope.

anyway, its because they know they can make money off of it. i mean i think video games do a sorta better job with genuine diversity then movies and comics.
