Hopefully it turns out like UFC's Reebok sponsorship where anyone caught not wearing Reebok apparel at an event gets fined tens of thousands of dollars.

Peanut President posted:What even is slut walk? Originally it was a protest against people who would slut shame victims of sexual assault. I attended one a few years ago, instead of Reebok sponsorship we had a drunk guy screaming at us that women should stop leading people on. Every day we drift further from God's light.

i remember when gawker pushed to unionize, one of idiotic staff members said no and their reason was "gently caress unions." they did manage to unionize but not before management made a round of layoffs before both parties signed a CBA

woke entertainment will never die for two reasons: 1. critics love it to an absurdly universal degree, and nobody in those positions is saying that it's hamfisted 2. it makes political tastemakers feel good about themselves for liking what's "cool" without having to change anything about their views it's all one big circlejerk between politicos, critics, and entertainers, and they all feel good about it. why stop when there's no motivation to do so? i saw an ad on the subway for the new season of Broad City. while i'm holding out hope that it won't turn out to be completely sanctimonious, in all likelihood it will be. doesn't matter that the first three seasons of the show weren't like that at all, times are different and entertainment needs to be important now more than ever

get that OUT of my face posted:woke entertainment will never die for two reasons: The public as a whole seems to be growing tired of it. You know I've not watched a minute of Colbert, SNL, The Daily Show...whatever since the election? You can almost telegraph their punchlines from a mile away so why bother. As Sam Bee has said ? They write for themselves, not for what they think would be insightful or what people would find actually funny. The same can be repeated for every medium. I'm a sports fan. I'm on the left. I am for complete reform of the justice system, ending the drug war, etc. Yet this Colin Kaepernick debate which has stretched on for...what..2 loving years? Has bored me to death. I can't blame anyone for being sick of that topic because, like them? I want to watch sports as a form of escape. Mind you, it's not Kaepernick himself that I have a problem with. He's an American. That's his right, and I don't disagree with his overall points. But it's the constant circle jerking between the media members who keep pushing this story that drives me nuts. We're reaching a saturation point, and I think people will eventually start turning to media that doesn't constantly try to do this stuff.

Media and entertainment always has a politics to it, the thing about the "wokeness" permeating it just now is that it's a superficial and bolted-on accessory that doesn't actually have anything to do with, or even diametrically opposes, the underlying politics of the text itself.

It seems to remind me of contemporary christian media. There's probably quite a few pieces of media inspired by one's faith and some of the themes associated with it (Forgiveness, Charity, Pacifism), but the stuff that I hear on Christian radio often feels hamfisted, fake, etc. Lumpy the Cook posted:if this results in Warner Bros/DC making a tv show where citizens happily look up to the sky and shout stuff like 'Thank you, ISIS' 'We'll be okay, ISIS is coming!'

Patrice came across as hilarious, intelligent, and sincere. The woman came across as pearl clutching, stuck up and lame. It's really depressing that the female lawyer in that clip short term won that particular culture war. She was sadly correct on the whole "group of people waking up" point. get that OUT of my face posted:this is exactly why i don't bother with SB Nation anymore. around this time last year, they really leaned in to the "sports as a vector for serious debate" angle with kaepernick. they even wrote the same article about how protests are supposed to make people uncomfortable, except they did it with three different sports (football, baseball, and soccer) Sports and politics have always been joined at the hip. The breathless coverage of this particular issue got loving old though. It reminded me of evangelicals and their hard on for the Tebow issue. get that OUT of my face posted:the goon who compared this to evangelical christian entertainment is spot-on btw It's just that same overall vibe. From their penchant of censorship to their hamfisted media. It's all bad.

i mean, if interpreted as 'diverse representation in media is just like christian entertainment' then i'd have to be pretty harsh on this argument but the point of diversity isn't to help marketing departments pitch progress as a way for customers to feel good about themselves for buying the 'right brand', and that being what it's become is what you're getting at with that analogy actual progress is just everyone seeing heroes and even villains who share their identity in our common culture, without those identities defining them or being a signifier to attract a segment of affluent consumers who are willing to spend money to self-identify as 'progressive'
