Reply to comment by Frequent_Composer_62 in Tired of soapboxing about shows like "Velma" by Bushgjl

Any movie or show reboot or remake that has a woman or minority take the role previously played by a white male is viewed as woke and an attack on white men by right wing incel types. Even original content, often gets labeled as “woke” if the antagonist is a white man or the protagonist is a minority.

It’s not as common on this sub, but go to right wing subs. 4chan, Fox News, moviechat.org for right wingers bitching about movies/tv and linking them to “wokeness” “the great replacement” conspiracy theories.

It largely ignores that these media conglomerates are still run largely by white men, it’s just the content creators and the free market have responded to telling stories about women, POC and the LGBT community.

Your mistake is going in 4ch. Most of the people on those boards aren't even serious and just trolling edgelords 99% of the time

No, I’m not complaining about wokeness or minorities. I’m not complaining about right wingers or white men either. I’m stating facts about about what the OP is referring to.
