Society/Culture Woke. Can you tell real from parody?

Rolled over to Part 2:

Society/Culture - Woke. Can you tell real from parody? - Part 2 -

Potatoes have no gender. And soon, nearly 70 years (sic), the name of Hasbro’s popular spud-shaped toy will reflect that: No more Mr. Potato Head. It’s just Potato Head. On Thursday, the company announced it would be rebranding the iconic quick-change toy to break away from traditional ideas...

Resident Evil Tv series on Netflix

So you’re tackling the important issues. Good to see.

 

[Gough]

Then I suppose bad writing is just woke aswell now.

I thought the Netflix adaption of Maupin's new Tales of the City series suffered horribly from terrible screenwriters, now I realise that it was just too woke.

Never said it was about wokeness, I was responding to a comment about how Netflix series don’t get canceled and a second season was guaranteed. Off topic for the thread. Sorry m8.

Sticking to the thread title. Many examples of this nonsense going on. Just one that i saw today. Hollywood eating themselves alive.
Disappointing, cause it was a great franchise the Resident Evil world.

Until it went all… coloured?

I think woke is the word you are after.
Shall we find some all black movies and remake them with all white actors. We both know that movie would never happen.

'Coloured batchelor'.

You're being racist.

 

[JP Sauce]

Weird to judge a show you haven't seen yet because it's all "coloured".

 

[Chief]

some all black movies

There aren’t that many are there? Which is kind of the point?

It’s a commercial decision. Appeal to a broader range of people.

Why it freaks you out is beyond me.

I guess we will see if the show proves me wrong and is a hit with fans.
They have a massive supporter base for Resident Evil. They should have no issues making plenty of dough.

 

[Chief]

I am sure you’ll blame failure on the “coloured people” and credit any success to anything but the cast.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

‘Coloured Batchelor’.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

‘Coloured Batchelor’.

I will be watching to see who he chooses.
Hope he chooses the one on his right. She looks pretty cute.

 

[Chief]

I think you use the words interchangeably.

So 'of colour' OK, 'coloured' not OK?

Dude. Nobody wants to hear you sneering about this s**t, OK?

 

[FireKrakouer]

On a tangent here, what is up with the acceptable term “people of colour”? Anyone who’s done a primary school art class knows that white of a combination of all colours, yet it seems to be a term for everyone who is not white. I’m not bothered by it, just confused. It seems like a PC term that is just incorrect.

True. I’m radiant white but that’s still a colour.

Nothing wrong with being confused Firekrakouer

How about arguing the point? Is there are more appropriate term to use?

 

[Chief]

Because western countries revolve around white people, so language follows.

I reckon Boyz N the Hood would be pretty s**t with Owen Wilson as Tre and Vince Vaughan as Doughboy

 

[Frank Bunn]

Same same.

Aborigine, Aboriginal people.

Or Kaffir.

"Coloured"
It just...dosent sit well.
I have always wondered how "coloured" people dont find that term offensive.
