And there's the crux of the issue: you don't care if it's a thing you like. Nobody was clamoring for a Charlie's Angels reboot. That the reboot did poorly is expected. Kinda the norm for Charlie's Angels. Kinda the norm for reboots of 15 year old dead franchises in general, but you only complain about the "woke" ones

That is not a boogeyman, because it still does happen in entertainment circles. Yes, there are more a opportunities that have arised for PoC, but there are still plenty of circles in Hollywood and entertainment industry where blacks/PoC are exploited, never given the credit they're due, or can't get work or much work, or are only brought to play cliched stereotypes. Case and point right fucking here!
Yes it has and still is. Not as big as certain other eras, but there have bee many problems. You choose to only look at the one (mostly white) view. While that is nice and all, black people are more than just Hip-Hop and R&B. Not to mention, we've had our music stolen from and repackaged to appeal to "white" audiences or those that hate anythings created or influenced by blacks.
X-Men became less about racism over the years and more so turned in to gay rights. I like X-Men, but the whole racism angel becomes less effective when most of your characters are white and not PoC. This is more so a problem with the films, than the comics and most cartoon adaptions, but it was still there. Mainly the comics; most of the cartoons and anime adaption fixed that issue.
Thank you for proving my point. And there it is.
Everytime you forget SPAWN I get more and more upset with you
. Spawn was amazing! STOP FORGETTING SPAWN! Michael Jai White is one of my favorite Martial Arts actors! Dude is super nice too, met him on a flight and we chatted about comics and shit the whole time, was awesome. See this is I think the mentality that hurts the argument in my eyes. I get that a lot, I'm white therefore I have no right to complain. Oh these people aren't PoC's therefore the analogy doesn't apply.
I put my responses in BOLD in that Quote to just answer your questions. the answers aren't really important though.
A 49/51 split is not the massive failure you're pretending it is. That's kind of the definition of "okay" and that's after a review bombing.Ghostbusters 2016:

(Critics thought it was okay, but the movie going audience clearly didn't. It's public opinion on whether a movie was good or not right?

Batwoman Season 2 Ratings Hit An All-Time Low Yet Again
Batwoman continues to see its ratings plummet faster than the Scarlet Knight jumping off a Gotham rooftop. Ever since its underwhelming season 2 opener, the series has been losing viewers every week, excepting the occasional slight reprieve now and again. And with its 13th episode, "I'll Give...
I mean, I don't really know what to tell you.
So that's it. That's your evidence. A couple of under-performing movies, one of which got review-bombed and still averages out to okay and a TV show with a cult following that's getting a 3rd season. I think you're making the mistake of assuming your taste speaks for everyone else's.
I was in the middle of rant, so forgive me. I big fan of Jai was well, but he was done dirty on Spawn. Plus, I prefer Keith David as Spawn, and the HBO series did the character and its mythos justice. Something the film never got right.
I never said you did not have the right to complain.
You are correct, but blacks have gotten screwed over a lot and still compard to certain other races. I'm not saying other did not suffer either, but there is a totem pole effect, and you can always expect black to be at the bottom. You have people that treat Indians and Asians with contempt, but will say at least you're not black! Brainwashing them in to thinking that as long as we're not dark-skinned, black, too dark, they'll accept us in to being "white" or one of them. It still happend today, and as of recently with COVID, shows full of shit and hypocritical that thinking is. There was a lot of Asian hate going on this year and last year, so that went out the window all of sudden, and they found themselves at the bottom with us.
How lucky for him. Others aren't. I appreciate you for sharing, but many others got it worse than him depending on where they live in the states or other parts of the world.
Yet, the PoC usually get worse than those that are white or pass off as white.
I noticed.
I didn't nor was I trying. If I got too personal, my bad, but you do have a habit of being or acting oblivious about certain social issues in or out of the entertainment industry. And you go way overboard trying to stick it to self-righteous "SJWs" who spend way too much time on Twitter, along with their idiotic other halves as well. I'll end there, so not get you in to a further bad mood. For now.
I don't need to, it's just another Red scare and boogeyman. Just another shallow corporate pandering trying to latch on the bandwagon. Nothing more and nothing less. There's plenty out there that get represntation right, but people and society will always need more. We should not stop at 1 or 2 claim nothing else should or can't be done. Be great. Be better.
Burden's not on me, bro. Besides, there's the problem of even trying to define "woke" because it seems as if for something to be woke and thus bad it just has to have the lead character be a woman or PoC.
It's all good man.
First of all, I don't think you have issues with women by default, I think that because of things you said.
It's the difference between allegory and message mongering.
Maxwell Smart is that you?
You can thot what you want to thot, it doesn't make it true.
Neither does it justify accusing someone of bigotry.
Did i say they were making it all up? It's more than minorities we are talking about in the scope of things, but whatever you want I guess.
I was not accusing you of any of that. With that said, you have to start looking at more than one lane or direction. Nor be too dismissive of other peoples logical points, regardless if you agree or disagree.
I dislike false accusations too (and do whatever I can to prevent that), but most non-bigoted people don't become bigoted of being accused. Some, yes, but that is fucking rare.
Batwoman doing fine?

Yet thats the evidence being presented as people being racist / sexist and needing to be corrected and called out............
That's mostly meant as a joke TBF. But I can see how being called bigoted or whatever would lead to an argument in which the accused would say some bigoted name calling just out of frustration.
The funny thing to me is calling people bigots etc, it's become like real life parodying what were comedy sketches like Lenny Henry's "Is it because I'm Black" sketches
