You’ve missed the point. The old system wasn’t a good pasta sauce either
Wokeness is only happening because what we happening previously was not financially viable. They’re trying to find an alternative. Wokeness maybe financially unviable but not trying to change will assure financial ruin.
Ah but it's not technically financially unviable what was happening before. It was very much financially viable that's how the companies came to be so big.
What wasn't viable was the presently required things in this economic reality and they're still not because the required things themselves are the issue. Allow me to clarify because that probably wasn't very clear.
At present companies as expected to permanently be able to produce growth, more profits, more money or investors start pulling out or try to throw out the head of the company in many cases. Also lots of people have been pushing for maximum return in minimum time. Once a company has come to be the main force in a market there's little other room to grow. You can try and kill your competition of what little is left or absorb them but that costs money. You can increase the price of the product but the market will likely have a limit and moves to increase price might mean less sales anyway so for $3 extra per sale you lose 2 sales of $6. The best way to get growth? A new market or to refine your market to those deemed more profitable.
Gillette wasn't unviable. But the requirements of growing when it had become so dominant were.
The problem being Gilette and others have been trying to take what is viable and change the perception of it to pull in more people but in doing so it's alienating others. They're not actually creating new or trying to actually cater to the new audience just do the bare minimum to seem like it.
So what are you guys proposing to solve this problem? 1980s regulations where you couldn’t do or say things because gays and women are evil? Yep, that was a great time, wast it. Listen to the market? It showed that the old conservative system is not liked by the market. Wokeness is generally only disliked by the cottage drama industry on YouTube. Pretending that femMaster wasn’t popular is ridiculous. It was so popular they did femDoctor. Hate her all you want. I remember people hating Janeway and Sisko. They literally left in drove. Star Trek didn’t care. It’s still going.
Actual market diversification with appropriate scale and turning it back to games journalism, people covering the stuff that's not merely the AAA or algorithm friendly stuff.
Step 1 would be google abolishing site ranking based on algorithm search matches. As is it rewards sites covering whatever is trending with more than just clicks but overall search position for other stuff too which is why Polygon were writing about Game of Thrones rather than video games before.
If Wokeness were so liked so many properties going woke wouldn't be struggling. It's not merely some cottage industry disliking it. The audience is going.
Profit wise Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle nearly matched Star Wars the Last Jedi based on most analysis or whatever that shouldn't happen, that shouldn't have been possible yet it did happen. Why? people suggesting Star Wars the Last Jedi was woke and a push online that people who hated it were sexist misogynerds who just didn't get how great Rian Johnson was. Wokeness, actual wokeness seems to come with a hugely toxic group along with it and people are getting fed up of that. People are fed up of everything being a fight so anything seen as woke will be avoided because why bother when to voice a view on it especially if it's a negative one will result in lots of angry toxic people who if you're lucky will just bombard you with BS for weeks. Wokness and liking or disliking certain media is being seen as a way to judge people as good or bad people based on their reaction and the only way to avoid that is not the play and avoid said media. It's funny because this BS kind of started years ago in entertainment and I doubt anyone will remember it now.
Fucking American Sniper the movie.................. No really. You thought shaming people over media or into seeing media was a new thing? Well in 2015 Sarah Palin pushed people to go see American Sniper to prove they were "True American's". What a lot of people will also not remember is for some reason the Political Left wing saw this as a challenge to push a film of their own choosing in a similar way and they chose "Selma" which they pushed people to go and see to "prove you're not racist" which all ended up coming down to a push on one weekend where the two films were basically pitted against one another and American Sniper won in box office returns...........
Femmaster was popular because of a good script and good actress not because it was The Master. You could have had her be called The Rani played it the exact same and it would have done just as well if not more so because people who were fans of Old Who would be celebrating the return of a classic era character.
FemDoctor is only being done because a loud bunch of people online kept pushing for it and trying to shame the studio into doing it as some show of how they truly were progressive by idiots who couldn't be shut up by pointing out the long history of strong female characters in Doctor Who because they don't know the show and don't care. They only care about having another stupid symbolic thing happen to make them think they're saving the world.
People might have disliked Janeway and Sisko but I don't think there was the same "Oh you're a racist / sexist if you don't love them" mentality being pushed. Both were different characters in series that were different and in Star Trek there's always been the fight of who was better Picard or Kirk before Janeway and Sisko entered into things. Thing is with Discovery they literally killed of a character in one episode and had the captain basically be fine with it because he was seen to have "Mansplained" at one point earlier on. That would be like Star Trek killing off Reginald Barclay because he's a bit awkward and portraying him being killed off as something that was fine not to be mourned because "Well he was a bit weird so it's fine he was clearly the wrong kind of people".
And it would be really cool if you stop with the ‘I’m the real Doctor Who fan and they only like this...’ nonsense. You maybe a fan. You certainly don’t speak for the entire fandom. It’s this self righteous attitude that made you think you have so many people on your side. You don’t Pretending what you like is popular is false. It USED to be popular. It isn’t anymore.
Gillette will be fine. Stop worrying about. Also, stop with your wrongthink everyone.
I've not said I speak for All Doctor Who and seemingly based on the numbers I may not speak for the whole fanbase but I'm echoing similar sentiments
