Reply to comment by supmandude in Why still the push for "woke" tv-shows and movies, when almost all of them result in a flop? by [deleted]

What weird take is that? Did you even read my post or are you just enraged that I am not a fan of placing token people and then checking the #inclusion box?

So the default should be cisgender white people, and everyone else needs an explicit reason to exist. Right? Do you fucking hear yourself?

I don't understand why people who hold these beliefs are too afraid to say it outright, but to no end will obsess over the topic. Is it just trolling?

It’s because they think if they’re suuuuuuper clever and sneaky about it, they can win people around to their valiant cause.

That makes a lot of sense.. I could never conceive of a reason besides trying to provoke people. Thanks for making this headache make a little more sense.

They're only "token" to you, your weird online friends and the fox news universe. Everyone else just sees them as characters.

So absurdly ironic. To put a POC or female in the lead is tokenism? What you're describing is the exact opposite. It sounds like you'd prefer tokenism, or probably just no women or POC at all, in your content.

By your logic, it would be impossible to have a female or POC lead without it being tokenism, meaning what exactly? That women and POC have no place in the entertainment industry?

Our man literally made a list of things assholes say in post form and is flabbergasted people could mistake him for an asshole somehow.

How come every person that posts dumb-shit-cosplaying-as-a-hot-take always come back with “did you even read my post?!” All indigently… like, yes, of course, and that’s exactly why everyone thinks you’re an asshole.
