the feedback loop of critics pulling some grandiose political message about pop culture they like out of thin air, a giant media conglomerate actively appealing to that instinct, audiences eating that poo poo up, and repeating has given woke entertainment a longer shelf life than it should

i know, dammit. the only way to break the cycle is if audiences get bored and start to demand entertainment that isn't blatantly pandering, but as it stands,, it's working and it's so much easier to make something that's agreeable than to make something that's good

Woke media is at the center of the venn diagram for "sells well with the upper middle class" and "gives our company a caring image that pleases investors". It's here to stay and will call you a bigot if you don't like it.

remember the nineties when hollywood was trying to turn shaquille oneal and pamela anderson into movie stars i just find it funny how woke media mandates that we pretend like minority and women led blockbusters are some crazy modern idea and not that we actually had them for maybe a decade and a half before hollywood decided that chinese people only wanted to watch movies headlined by boring white guys

antitrust is a movie that always felt to me that it was originally started with a decent message and then it lost that because the screenwriter spent a little too much time on linux forums

so how old is that panel anyway is that from pre woke marvel when everyone was racist or post woke marvel when everyone hates racism but the writers are still the same moronic white people as before so its just racist in a more convoluted hamhanded way

None of the above

It's almost certainly from the most recent runs on black panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates and "Deadpool is a dipshit and accidentally racist" is The Joke

I have not read either of his stretches on the book because they don't interest me in the slightest and they seemed to only get buzz from people who don't actually read comics which translates to "America's black guy who white people can cite to feel informed did a thing, white people are trying to show theyre With It"

They might be amazing, I have no idea

Deadpool, the character whose gimmick is breaking the 4th wall, makes a reference to another african kingdom that doesn't exist in the black panther or marvel universe but nonetheless is familiar to every reader of the comic strip. The fact that you don't "get it" shows just how dumb as poo poo you are.
