I don’t agree w everything you say about feminism, but your criticism of the show is spot on

That is some loud purring

Oh goodness, had a feeling that newest vid was about to disappear forever haha. See, that's what happens when you start to read the room (this country). You realize you are on the wrong side of history. If you can't stand the heat, girl, gotta get outta the kitchen. Have a lovely evening, it is a glorious 56°F in coastal Cali tonight ~ wooooo !

You were sick with nothing but the flu, girlfriend. Get over it✨

Hello Ms. Stewart, I am glad to see more about your interpretation of the “woke agenda” (as your nice cat rests atop). I am also concerned about undermining of gender equality and feminism themes. I wish I had more time for books, but I’ve been an avid newspaper reader since childhood and sometimes it is hard to keep up with them. I have a coworker a third of my age who keeps talking and hinting about a controversial performer “Ye” you showed just briefly, even though I asked him to not glorify him to me. My sister is a teacher and my mother was, too. I’m also a white male pro-choice ardent feminist named Bob, and very pro-LGBTQ pro-BLM pro-SJW and very concerned about the upcoming administration I read wants to ban gender affirming care. I plan to never marry, as I don’t want to support an institution that has discriminated against gays. I wish everyone know the feminism is about equality, not about hating men. “The Last Unicorn” was my favorite movie and I got the soundtrack vinyl from Germany. You said the phrase “somewhat of a unique perspective.” I read and believe that “unique” is an absolute term that cannot grammatically be modified in degrees; either something is unique or it is not. I only tell you this because I was glad to learn it myself and thought you might be, too. I don’t like to use “woke” either, for reasons like you explained. Have a wonderful day.

Hello Ms. Stewart, You are so nice to support rescuers instead of breeders and to make this loving tribute video with touching story of Cinder Cat and brother! I am so sorry Cinder got too sick. I am also sorry things are not all well with your family relations; I know how that is.

I love the twitchy leg paws when they are dreaming! One forepaw on tummy, awww.

👎👎👎👎👎👎 "Woke Liberal Feminist"... translated honest version: Self-Deluded Feminazi Insufferable Pretentious Perpetual Malcontent Who Desperately Cultivates Confabulated Oppression And Persecution To Rationalize Her Own Actual Self-Righteous Narcicissim, Self-Loathing, Bigotry, And Deeply Psychologically Ensconced Issues While Targeting Various Others As The Imagined Source Of Her Oppression And Projecting Upon Them Her Own Issues... ALL THE WHILE Idolizing Genuinely Toxic And Dysfunctional False-Goddess Idols Of Marxism-Communism-Fascism Who Genuinely Hate The Constitutional Republic Of The USA... All Packaged In The False Veneer Of A Mild-Mannered, Clean-Cut Pseudo-Intellectual That May As Well Be Claiming To Be A Brain-Surgeon But Actually Has No Clue As To How The World Of Politics Actually Works. And Furthermore Has No Clue That Her Self-Righteous Immoral Self Is Actually Part Of The Problems Of Our Society That Despicably Admires, Identifies With, Props Up & Praises Toxic Degenerates. 🤠

Hello Ms. Stewart. I’m a male woke ardent feminist. Nice cat. I am sorry you got Covid. P.S. Your video "This is why Trump was re-elected -- and what it means for you" was made private while I was watching it. May I ask why? Here is what I was going to post there... Hello Ms. Stewart. Congratulations on your progress. I’m a male hetero pro-choice pro-LGBTQIACD+ vegan nonreligious environmentalist ardent feminist. Thanks very much for all your wise words about the tragedy of Trump’s re-election. My blood pressure was the highest I’ve ever measured it that evening. If you care about AIDS victims, I suggest you say “that pandemic” or “the Covid-19 pandemic,” instead of “the pandemic,” you said three times. The latter implies there has been only one. Have a nice day.

3:02 "To have a truely equal society, women must have the same rights as men, which includes ..." Education: Shows an image of a news article with Muslim girls Job Choice/Equal Pay: Shows graphic that labels Africa, Asia, and eastern Europe as having r estrictions to women's employment, and the US and North America as having none Right to Own Property: Shows a 45 - 50 year old social norm/law, that is no long in effect, ANYWHERE I'm going to post this and come back tomorrow, cause it's Saturday, but here's something for you to start with. I'll edit this comment tomorrow to go through the whole vid.

Gorgous cat

Hi! Just dropping by to say I hope you'll get round to sharing your thoughts on Rings of Power Season 2. I enjoyed your review of the first series, which I thought was both balanced and well-considered.

JJ abrahms has done incalcuable damage to the tv and film industry by promoting the mystery box

That was really, really enjoyable to listen to. Thank you.

15:30 then they shouldn't habve effing tried! You do it right or you don't do it at all.

I haven't even seen season 2 but the more of the reviews that I see, the more I just get real MAD at how many unnecessary and unwarranted changes they've made to this entire show. Sure, a 14 book series needs some changes for a tv adaptation, but this is beyond unforgivable.

I just want this to end so we can get a new attempt. And I would go with a animated show. Put the books in a visual medium but with lower costs, also the one power will be a lot easier to represent in animated than in live action.

43:15 Aristotle's problem is that he was always trying to preserve Endoxa, autoritative opinions and since the world is perfect the existing opinions on women must also be perfect. Aristotle isn't actually the root cause. He just takes the predjudices of his society and systematizes it. He did the same with slavery.

40:30 I prefer just to say that this isn't feminism, it's capitalism. Removing everyhting potentially offensive from all media is not a progressive standoint. It's a capitalist one.

I'm just hoping it will fail soon enough and we can get an animated series or anime.

27:00 And even in the series the Red despite being the biggest single Ajah have only had a handful of Amyrlins, and every Amyrlin who has been legally depsosed was a red and replaced by a blue.

14:30 I also don't think Jordan would have a problem with non binary people, there may be non binary people bound to the wheel, beign rebeorn forever as non binary. As long as those people do not channel it's not really an issue.

1:15 Calling WoT woke is an insult to woke.

This show is a travesty that should not only be cancelled but condemned, it's writers sued for copyright infringement since it's so far from the books that it can only be described as literary appropriation.

41:42 Alternate B: If the show has diverse characters and progressive themes, as with WOT, it increasingly accompanies and signals a willful lack of care for the lore, obnoxious and preachy rationales for what are (via internal policies and showrunner messaging) well-documented quota-chasing and culture war objectives of a modern writer whose politics don't permit the original canon. It's like there's a new Hayes Code. The original barred depictions of white slavery. The new one bars depictions of "all-white" races regardless of genre, or whether it makes any geographic contexual sense (Rings of Power), unless of course it's a *negative* depiction of such a people, then it's allowed. I don't think it's raycist for whites and others to notice these trends in media. There're plenty of shows with an abundance of women or non-white characters that aren't considered w0ke. Most raycist Americans haven't even heard of this series, and certainly aren't spending their time sending unsubstantiated deth threats to yet another narcissistic showrunner who actively makes their show hostile to demographics they personally dislike, at the expense of the project's quality. The collateral damage is that eventually, a non-negotiable presentation of "diversity and inclusion" *does* become a shorthand for projects that will make changes similar to WOT, where lore is "problematic" and must be updated by the all-wise progressive. Lots of people are getting tired of that and are holding it against the labels these people use to describe what they do.

I saw "no gender equality", angrily clicked the video, and was about to leave a filthy essay on how the male characters were absolutely disgraced (I'll never forgive them for what they did to Mat's dad, Abel, turning him into a drunken lowlife) buuuut that was your point hahaha well played!

Way too many ads

Your effusive (and, as usual, riveting) review had kept me far from WICKED LITTLE LETTERS until tonight, when I nerved myself to watch it - it didn't disappoint. Superficially, it's quite a good movie. The direction is taut and knowing, the acting is first-rate - I particularly liked the tomboyish Rose - and the score, by Isobel Waller-Bridge, of whom I hadn't been aware until now, was surprisingly melodic and engaging. (Isobel is the sister of Phoebe, another ardent feminist whose most recent performance was the neutering of Indiana Jones - in fact, many of the principal crew are women.) But the woke spoiled it for me. Not being familiar with the true story, I couldn't help wondering how much the facts, as well as the immutable characteristics, had been jiggled for the sake of agenda, and that suspicion led me to resent the lighthearted tone and giddy glee taken in bashing Christianity, a favorite sport of the left. I also couldn't help wondering how things would've been presented had Edith been, say, a Muslim. Perhaps you'll recompense my suffering by watching, here on TH-cam, the Despot of Antrim's hilarious reduction of WOMEN TALKING (2022) ("When a Bad Movie Gets 220 Awards Nominations: Women Talking"), which reduction I'm sure you'll find as painful as I did WICKED LITTLE LETTERS. But you'll be rewarded, at least, with an astonishingly accurate mimicry of David Attenborough. 🦍🙂

You have articulated my concerns about the show, as a long time book fan -Thank you.

As a book lover, I could literally only stomach the first episode. Noped the hell out after watching it.

The actual true story of the Littlehampton Letters is a real life cracking story, and would of made a great movie, but the film makers decided to make it racially diverse and they decided to make Rose an unmarried mother, who lied about having a husband die in the war. In real life Rose was married to a white English man, (black live in lover in the film) and the child she looked after was her sisters. PC Gladys Moss was also white and English, but they made her Indian, the judge was black and so was the postmistress, its highly unlikely this would of been the case in real life. They decided to make the Irish Rose common and vulgar, in one scene she pulled up her dress and exposed her ass to the police, in 1920's England, this on its own would of carried a prison term! The whole debacle on it own would of made a great film, I dont know why they decided to veer so far off what actually happened! Had this been set in 2024, England is indeed very racially diverse, but it was the 1920's, when England would of been over 99% white.

I decided to watch Wicked Little Letters following your recommendation so imagine my surprise that not only did it take place in my home town of Littlehampton but also in Western Road where I lived for fve years 🙂

Wokeness or progressivism generalizes about people, especially critical theory. Critical theory says: If a group is overrepresented, the system is privileging this group. But leftist usually dont belive in it if the own group is overrepresented. You cannot see based on these factors if there is discrimination. Critical theory was always used against successful groups like Jews. The racists of the past thought Jews are evil, because Jews are so successful and overrepresented and they believed there must be a system and there must be intitutions that benefits them. Therefore they used words like Jewish Science, Jewish media etc. You always have different success of different groups, that has nothing to do with discrimination or you cannot see if there is discrimination based on these data sets. I would rather guess the discrimination was the other way around that the system discriminated Jews.

I haven't seen the movie, but you're talking about progressive (which is good), not woke (short of performative woke)

I have just watched 4 videos about Kamala Harris made by conservative people. Their bias is very evident ofc but in calling Kamala Harris a DEI pick there is no bias, they just show democrats listing the things that make Kamala a good choice. Female and PoC. This was a nice channel until the political BS.

Loved it! Thanks for the recommendation. 😊

Perfect!

Sentenced to hard labor for living freely does sound like ol' England. And, sadly, a bunch of places in the current day States.

Only 37% of US viewers finished the show

So you dont want to watch it but you are going to so you can critique it. So are you just a click hunter. Lol do you like the peter jackson trilogy?

People on the left keep confusing diversity with woke. Diversity is fine because it's organic - I give you shows like OZARK and HALSTON and THE DIPLOMAT. There are plenty of diverse characters in them, but those characters are never handled with kid gloves - those characters are never given a pass, and never clumsily and predictably elevated over heterosexual white men, simply by virtue of certain immutable features. This is called art. Whereas woke, which commits all of the above-mentioned crimes and more, isn't art. It's propaganda, and propaganda is the death of art.

"Therapy works and to prove it to you all I'm going to watch season 2..." Good luck I know I couldn't do it!

I guess the studio wants maleable inexperienced people on this show
