Let's get down to brass tacks... (SJWs/influence in movies)
Posted: Fri May 24, 2019 7:38 pm
I'm putting this here primarily because I feel, it's most relevant in this section, with sci-fi and fantasy, but if not, the mods can put it anywhere, right? Apologies if I'm wrong. With that said, let's get down to it.
Been browsing YouTube comments section, and... I feel really annoyed whenever I see people bitching about the influence of "SJWs in movies," sentiments people on this very board have expressed, so I feel I really wanna call this out/get a good discussion going on this... those whining about SJWs in movies, are imo, no different than other type of fanboy, angry the product they love isn't going their way, aren't they? Because at the end of the day, I doubt those in charge are being influenced in any way unduly by "evil SJWs ruining society" that those YouTube commentators love to regard as nebulously weaving their threads to force propaganda down their throat. No more than a company ever has been in the past. When it comes to bad PR, a corporation will try and fix it, even if that means sacrificing the employee or more than one employee. For one thing... it seems less like they're complaining about the direction those in charge are taking it, and more about demonizing the left (because they seem to hardly ever acknowledge there can be right-wing SJWs, the terms are not mutually exclusive). I mean, they/you do understand that the moviemakers ultimately make their own decisions, correct? It's not a tiny handful of hard-left fanatics forcing those in charge of Hollywood to change something to fit their agenda, those in charge, past not wanting to attract bad PR (or perhaps wanting to do so in some cases, because that sells), are free to make up their own mind. So overall, it seems less like sincere criticism and more like complaining that the world has changed, and you're feeling left behind because you're in a minority where you're too right-leaning for the world. All of which is fine, tbh. But those preaching this seem to have no genuine sense of self-awareness, as far as I see it. I think people should be honest with each other, and themselves. So in conclusion, I think the anti-SJW crowd when it comes to making movies are just another breed of entitled fanboy. Convince me otherwise.
