Transgender

The "hatred" is definitely artificial, and absolutely fueled by propaganda.

The trans community was just next in a long line of scapegoats.

"Yeah, you life sucks, but its X's fault, elect us and we'll punish X"

Replace X with one or more of Jews, African Americans, Welfare Queens, Loose Women, Gays, Trans, Coastal Elites, etc.

It all started with that one bathroom bill like 15 years ago. Nobody really cared about it before then. Same with abortion, not even religious people cared about it much until the gop started telling them to.

it became a tool once they understood how to weaponize ignorance and confusion into fear and anger

And Rage Against the Machine turning woke

Star Trek just got stupid, that's all. In the past, it promoted progressive views through clever writing where the audience could see our own actions from the perspective of people living in an utopian future.

I've only seen Picard Seasons 1 & 3 tho, so maybe the other shows were better, but I'm not interested in prequels and that's all anyone wants to make. S3 was basically the same as the Star Wars sequel trilogy which I'm fine with. But S1 though... that had a message that equity isn't possible in even an ideal utopia, and bigotry (really really stupid bigotry at that) will always exist. I'm sure that wasn't the intention, but the writers couldn't help but put in rants about how unfair the world is and how terrible bigotry is... in a setting that's far into the future and supposed to be a utopia. Which makes the overall message to be that equity is impossible and bigotry will always exist.

The writers didn't seem to understand that the premise of Star Trek is and it resulted in a message I don't think they knew they were making.

I mean Roger Moore was campy as hell but I loved it

James Bond has always been crap

That would shatter the narrative these people are trying to push: that Hollywood has only recently been engaging in "wokeness". In reality, like you said, just about any movie or TV show could be viewed through the same lens and yield similar results. Hell, here's a great video where the author literally does this: https://youtu.be/MZtRabDCLyY. Timestamp 14:25, but the whole video is a good watch.

I literally use complaints about wokeness to lead me to cool new media to experience the same way people used the Satanic Panic to lead them to D&D and rock and roll in the 80s. I have to say, it's a good strategy.

Feels like tge only way a leftist society would work, exile bigots to the outside.

Wokeness is just base-level anti-racism. Anyone who complains about "woke" is literally just declaring their racism. It never meant and never means anything other than exactly that.

banished from the land.

The ocean called. They don't want them, either.

Modesty Blaise

Grew up in a refugee camp. Takes over a criminal gang, then turns it into an international mercenary syndicate that is employed by the British Secret Service. Is plenty good at killing, but prefers non-lethal weapons and martial arts. Has a long-time platonic male sidekick with whom she is emphatically not in a will-they-won't-they relationship; they're just best action friends.

Modesty Blaise is just dying for a modern day franchise of her own, and she could just be Modesty Blaise, international woman of ass-kicking, not "the time they cast a woman as James Bond," or even a Bond spin-off. It's madness that it hasn't happened already.

Not to mention all the actual racism, misogyny, and the rape.

And calling her a "Bond girl" is a bit of a stretch. Great that she was included but she's not quite on the level of Melina Havelock or Countess Lisl von Schlaf in the movie.

You mean just make a spy movie? I don't think they need to own the rights to the Bond franchise to do that.

I suspect many fans don't want the franchise to end, and the rights-holders don't want the cash cow to stop lactating. In a twisted way, capitalism bore money-obsessed folks who relentlessly rape marketable products for all their worth
