@pawnswizard1 They literally print the money brah.....Idk if you have noticed this but they just print more as they need to, to gain more control. Money is truly no object to those that own the printing presses.
@@SmoggyFroggyDisney doesn’t own the printing machines though. These companies have been slowly reversing course after loosing billions. Sure they had the money to keep the loses going for a while, but as someone else pointed out that can’t last forever. The us government isnt funding rings of power lol. If you stop buying it, it will die eventually, I promise you that.
They’re just the worst, well nearly the worst, the white male urban liberal is even worse. As they’re the ones giving them power & running after them telling them they’re great. And then they say “ah, can I get some action now? I’m doing good aren’t I?”.
@@nathanmorgan3647 I forget who did the video, but they mentioned that most women instinctively try to make every space that they enter into "safe." Outliers exist, but with such a large female pool in the workforce, it has essentially diluted the contents.

When the stands become more and more empty, when the fans walk out of the game, they're the ones to blame for the team's financial ruin. Kennedy admits this, yet refuses to improve the roster.
The problem is that Kennedy and her ilk see it as their solemn duty to use any popular IP as a platform for their ideology. It never crosses their minds that most people simply want entertainment that allows *escape* from real life, not ham-fisted activism shoved down their throats.
@SeekSomethingMore everyone is anti facism, it's not a right thing, both sides can go too far. Internal politics to the story is fine, real life politics injected into another world is not.
@@SeekSomethingMore ahem, absolutely not. Left wing going too far is communism, secret police and people disapearing because they talk against the party. So same thing as too far on the right.
let's be honest, most of the time women can't create creatives and appealing entertainment media since, in average, they lack stoict attitude and are pretty narcisistic, always wanting their way despite being objectively wrong (a realtionship with one of them encapsulate it pretty well haha)
Yeah i really dont believe that many black women Like the whole "strong" aggressive stereotype that was Made to make it Look Like black women dont have any feminity. And that stereotype was there for decades they Just Like now that IT IS "empowering" and Not an insult
There's an old "wife-bad"-genre saying i heard: "In a reletiontips with women there's two kinds of things - hers and ours". And it seems it is exactly how west threats it's male-audience/male-created IPs. If it's for women by women - it stays that way, nobody adding Dragon Ball-esque fighting in Twilight, nobody adds Arnold with a shotgun in Harry Potter. But if it's something popular with men? Well, that's just wont do, that is sexist don't you know, we need to change that imbalance and Modern Audience will come.
The same is true of perceptions of race and culture. It is always "we want equal access to yours but keep your hands off of ours". You need look no further than The Acolyte to see this in action. Coven entirely composed of women? Empowering. Jedi order with women in most leadership positions and generally weak male characters? Empowering. Disproportionate representation of ethnic minorities? Empowering. The still diverse but somewhat more white male leaning version that it replaces? Bigoted and outdated.
Yeah, there's a weird obsession with messing with male-oriented things. If it's something made for and enjoyed by women, nobody thinks anything of it most of the time, not even when men occasionally enjoy it as well, but when it's something made for and enjoyed by men, suddenly there's a perceived "social imbalance" that absolutely has to be corrected.
The double standards are so obvious even a child should be able to pick up on it after a while, but we're not supposed to question it. Intersectional feminists see anything with any elements of strong masculinity as toxic and needing to be purged with fire, because they connect masculinity with any negative interaction they've ever had with men. They will never be self examining and reflective enough to question if many of these negative interactions with men are because they themselves are just prickly, bitter, awful people.
Kennedy is almost old enough to have been part of 2nd-wave feminism, but I getcha. The worst part is that these people almost seem to be right-wing fifth-columnists in that they appear to be conceding more and more cultural ground to the likes of PureFlix and the Daily Wire. We do NOT need any more stories about "righteous, persecuted Christians," who somehow both always triumph and yet never get their way. The "cool loser" stereotype went out of fashion decades ago.
Not just the white women. Looking at sbi, black girl gamers, the most loud actresses right now, etc, this seems more a gender issue over a race issue if we focus on the two.
@@forsociopoliticalstuff2629 it's definitely women, but race also plays a role. It's two sides of the same morality. The white women are the self righteous yet guilty benefactors who lament their existence yet ironically want nothing but splendor and luxury. The black and other minority women are the "oppressed" and cry victim under the same morality to get their boon and privileges from. It all stems from liberal (and going further back, Christian) guilt. Old fashioned right wingers wouldn't have given them an inch. White Women are the greatest of traitors, and minorities are mercenaries always looking for a bigger slice of the pie. Put them together and you get more of the same.
If there was ever an example of the lack of any diversity of thought, look at all the female characters that have been coming out in the last couple of years. No matter the franchise, no matter the genre, no matter pre established lore…it’s the exact same character over and over and over again. A bossy, bitchy, know it all Mary Sue who has no flaws, no weaknesses, never struggles in anything, is always perceived as right on everything, is constantly belittling all the male characters around her, and who’s one and only vice is that she laments about how others refuse to acknowledge her greatness. Once you see this pattern, you can’t unsee it from all the different characters that Hollywood keeps churning out these days. It’s freaking boring.
There's a push against reproduction. Unhappy single females (which is, by far, most under the age of 35 now) are extremely reliable Democrat voters and are highly likely to actually vote. You might say Hillary Clinton has a farm somewhere "breeding" them 😂
Disney are doing a great job of making other studios look absolutely amazing. For example, remember Universal's last "Puss in Boots" movie? It was a reminder what you could do, if you put basic story telling above social engineering.
@@andrewalexander7363wild robot was a great movie. Not perfect but was really well done. And it felt like it actually came from a place of love. Like they wanted to make something good and not try to subvert or any of those other woke buzz words.
It’s been more than ten years since I darkened the door of a book store. The last time I did, the entire SF/Fantasy aisle was full of fantasy/romance garbage about vampires and werewolves, and all of it was written by women I’d never heard of. All the old reliable authors I could count on have gotten too old and retired, or they are actually dead. Thankfully, I can find (almost) all their old out of print works on Anna’s Archive, so I have plenty to read on my iPad. Current day science fiction is a sewer, and (almost) every time I risk my time on it, I am disappointed with a floating turd of wokeness. I miss the good old days when I could walk into a mall bookstore, grab a paperback with an interesting hand painted cover and walk out with a good book. Some times an immortal classic.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve had to revert back to Ray Feist, David Eddings and Robin Hobbs. Thankfully I read their books so long ago, many of them are like new to me 😀
@@seyerus Wheel of Time is good too... by which I mean the books... and NOT the show... which is utter woke garbage... as you'd expect from the studio behind Rings of Power. If you like the first book, Eye of the World, then there are a lot more... and the series is completed... no waiting for the next one to come out.
When I finished reading the canon (Updike, Roth, Trollope, Twain, etc.) I discovered many non canon authors who wrote compelling fiction. There is a vast supply of good stuff by, among others, Elmore Leonard, Michael Connelly, Rick Mofina, Jo Nesbo. Amor Towles could write the pants off any of the haridans churning out their sludge.
@@Nyet-Zdyes Read up to the 9th book I think. Really enjoyed them but ran out of patience. I read a book recently, Gods of the Wyrdwood which has a non-binary character…absolutely ridiculous. They can make their character literally anything they want in their fantasy world and they choose the most divisive character trait there is 🤷♂️ Annoying this is, the book wasn’t too bad but the sequels won’t be getting read.
@@seyerus Yes, the WoT books do slow down... but they pick up in the next book. IIRC, you were at the end of what they call "the slog"... lots of side stuff, and the main plot doesn't progress much. I was reading these books for the first time AS they were being published... and waiting 2-3 years for the next book, only for the main story to have little or no progress was *extremely* aggravating, at the time. Now, though, I kind of enjoy "the slog".
I'm a straight white male writer and whenever I look at lists of short story markets, and novel publishing houses, I find that I am ineligible for about 50% of them because of immutable things about me that I can neither choose nor control. So many contain things like "POC only," "women only," "gay only," etc. And it's not as if the remaining markets are discriminatory in the other direction, if anything, they are part of it, with things like "minorities get bumped up to the top of the slush pile and/or have extended deadlines." A black lesbian literally has twice as many markets than someone like me to publish her stories purely because of her identity. I know there are people who will read my comment and sarcastically say "oh boo hoo." But fighting past a inequality with a new inequality is NEVER the right answer.
I can't believe Laura Dern was around 22 years old when filming Jurassic Park, I guess she's the kinda person that never really looked young, she always looked mature, or at least had facial features that made her look 30'ish.
I always assumed she was 30 something. And I don't see the problem she was pointing out. Was she supposed to be in a romance with Sam Niell in the movie? I never really saw them as being other than good friends and colleagues. Never got a romance vibe there, especially with her flirting with Jeff Goldblum.
I'm confused by that. I always saw them as a couple in Jurassic park, but I thought they were about the same age. She must really look old! It's not just gen Z looking old. XD
They have ruined everything that men once loved. Bars, Gyms, Education, Entertainment, Music, Marriage, Women, Eating Meat, Cars, Sports, Cartoons, Dating, Protests, Patriotism, War, The Military, Politics....Everything.
Also comic books and gaming. My nephew was engaged to a woman who criticized everything he liked to do, and he finally broke it off just before the wedding. He dodged a bullet.
Nah, they’re grown adults. You don’t go “it’s my mom’s fault” when you make a mistake right? These women fumbled every opportunity they got, it’s their responsibility, stop treating them with kiddy gloves
'Conquered the world of fiction'? More like gravitated to the most comfortable, middle class and prestigious professions that looks the most fun: Journalist, Writer, Blogger, Influencer. Actress, Model - on and on. Can't wait for them to conquer the world of sanitation work. There is a massive old-girl network in the UK which has existed for years right through academia, publishing, TV, etc, and if you look at 'new' starts of TV writing, Directing, etc, you can always trace them back to the same few things - affluence, girls schools, and their friend network (there are outliers, but they usually tick some box or other of their own). They decide who gets the funding for everything, they decide who gets their works made or published. These are the same people who talk about sexism _against them_ without a hint of irony.
As a writer, I just noticed this. It's almost all women. All I've spoke to have been really cool. But, being a novel that takes place in the Buccaneer Era, >100 years after European contact, if I'm obliged to use a sensitivity reader I'm going to insist she lets me quiz her ("yes, HER!") about Aztec and Mayan history and Guna culture. And I can't wait to point out historical examples of the "problematic elements" she's sure to find.
Not to mention trying to get published these days is an almost entirely women’s world. And they all want the same thing; queer BIPOC authors. Damn the story, damn the quality, I want my checkboxes. What’s that? You’re straight and male? Well you’re also wrong, so back of the line with you It’s so fucking frustrating
@@SeekSomethingMoreWell, yes. The CEOS might be talentless and greedy but the people that actually do the work inside those companies need to be talented for the products to be good. Or do you think Disney became the massive company they are today by just throwing money into everything? No, they had great and talented writers that carried the company in their backs. And now that they've got rid of those talented writers, they are collapsing. But, I don't think you can understand that, considering it's obvious from all of your comments that you are a commie. You're in the wrong place, go back to watching Vaush or Hasanabi. You're not welcome here.
@@DioTheGreatOne no, Disney became the massive company they are today through exploitation. Sorry to intrude on your safe space, but I'm staying. It's also ironic that you are advocating for talent being valued, yet use the term commie as a pejorative.
Won't help, the circle of wokeness goes like this: - "We demand to be included in your space to make it more diverse and inclusive" - "We demand you change this space to our liking and ban stuff that offend us" - "We demand you be kicked out of this space we 'created' since you offended us" - "Lol, if you hate us why not just make your own space"
@@SSGGUTSthan don’t let them at the new table. I mostly read books. Don’t watch much tv anymore. Plenty of amazing series to enjoy. Yes some crap is written by the vary type of women who ruined Star Wars and other stuff. Meh I don’t buy their crap. It bombs. So I don’t care what they do. Same with games. Indie games will always produce. Than you get big stuff like dying light one.
From "As Good As It Gets" ~ "How do you write women so well? I think of a man and I take away all reason and accountability." I think it sums it up perfectly when you look at a show like The Acolyte. The story was no good and there was no reason it should have been green lit for production. Then when it bombed it was someone else's fault.
then they just take tax money. It's not like dustborn devs are starving or anything. And while the actual people may or may not be normal, if it was solely about money earned they would certainly not be continuing on that trainwreck.
This is amazingly well said, put, researched and ALARMINGLY relevant!, I'm an older guy in the music and writing industry and am genuinely concerned that we are being deliberately suppressed in both industries.
My mother is a liberal white woman and I cant talk to her for more than 10 minutes without her turning into a Karen. I talk to her once a month and have to plan out the conversation as to not mention anything remotely political or her TDS will go into overdrive. Anyone with advice on what to will be greatly appreciated.
A fellow book reader here. I have a soft spot for sci-fi books. During the last 10 years ALL of them have been infected by the woke virus!! It's absolutely disgusting. In some of the books I am greeted by a lesbian sex scene on the FIRST page!! Of course: all white men are always bad and stupid, women always amazing and forced diversity (mixed couples is extremely common) is absolutely everywhere. I wish there was a bookshelf with non pc books. I prefer to read older books from 70's - 00's.
As a sci-fi/fantasy author, I have to disagree. I think my stories are worth reading. 🤷♂️ But I do understand the sentiment. Most of the books that get lots of exposure these days are not for me.
The early women writers were good because they had retained a male voice. Think of Mary Shelley, Edith Wharton, Shirley Jackson, etc. They could bring up women's feelings while bringing in an intellectuality. Likewise for the women screenwriters of the 1940s, which was considered a Golden Age for women in film. The best creations had a male framework with female nuance. In contrast, I find the current female-led fiction or film either mushy or overly lush. All have a liberal message -- men bad, women good. The only sympathetic male characters are gay or politically liberal.
Any male writer able to write a half decent fetch quest novel with a relatable male protagonist, male comic relief sidekick, and female rival turned ally turned love interest could clean up these days as long as there is a cogent story structure and passably witty dialogue. I mean just look at what Rick Riordan pulled off with Percy Jackson.
The problem is they are not able to get published. Or at least published by any decent sized company. If you do not include all the typical liberal woke buzz words and tick all the boxes you're not even considered.
Self-published I suppose. Because from what I've heard from more than one budding writer/screenwriter is that the current publishing companies are so w0ke they automatically turn down non-established male writers as a rule. The very few given some attention are pressured to insert a female as the protagonist and have their work heavily edited by "sensitivity readers", aka intersectional censors. Openly stating such .. standards.
I have been saying this for years!!!!!! I literally just shared your video with my wife because she’s gonna get a kick out of it. I’ve been ranting about this for so long.
The publishing industry experienced a female takeover, and they carried that forward to sign women and 🌈 authors. I have belonged to Audible and I receive the audible daily deal, and >90% of the offerings are female authors telling female stories. I read about 2/3 of the plot summaries, and the synopses make me groan. A "journey" by some special class/race of woman blabbering about the challenges they face.
When Lucas sold out to Disney, he got billions. And he insisted that Kennedy take over Lucasfilm, which of course included "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones". That Kennedy turned out to be a terrible choice, an ideologue who put messages ahead of entertainment, and decided to make those two cash cows into feminist manifestos was not Lucas' fault. But he had worked with her for years, yet apparently never detected these traits in her character. In short, there is blame to go around.
Even in education, when you know you're 'supposed to be learning' things you don't enjoy it.. you enjoy it when you learn things not realising you're learning.
Well, entertainment is not really ruined. It just shifted. From productions spending money for nothing, to YT making laugh at it. Woke culture is writing jokes on them every day.
There is an old Steely Dan song - Show biz Kids. that sums it up "Show business kids making movies of themselves, you know they don't givve a f.... about anybody else. "
They say that people want to be represented in their media, and then they go out of their way to make their media cater to the smallest possible demographic. Why would they act surprised that no one comes to watch it?
Excellent as usual! I had no idea the literary world was so over-flowing with estrogen. I think if we boomer men had known how things would turn out 60 yrs ago we would, instead of trying to relate and be understanding, have come down hard on the insidious, overwrought and narcissistic dogma called feminism.
I'm over sixty so; Wonder Woman, The Bionic Woman, Sydney Bristow (Alias). Batgirl and Catwoman (Eartha Kitt!) Alexis and Dominique (Dynasty) Pam and Sue Ellen (Dallas). Abby,Val and Karen (Kots Landing) I have never wanted for cool female characters. They just have to be GOOD ones. And don't get me started on music! Tina Turner, Teena Marie, Janet Jackson, Tracy Chapman, Annie Lennox, Stevie Nicks....
Charlie's Angels... Dark Angel (Max/Jess. Alba)... Selene (Underworld)... all of the ladies of Firefly... all of the ladies of Farscape... Joan Jett... Pat Benatar... Reba McEntire... Bonnie Tyler... "Coal Miner's Daughter"... "Mama" Cass Elliott... Janis Joplin... Grace Slick... and Christine McVie too... and that's just keeping with the apparent theme of ignoring the ones most commonly listed (ex. Ellen Ripley)
Exactly. Thank you. We want GOOD characters. And we want them to stop destroying beloved male characters and telling us it's progress. It's pure spite.
@@cosmicmuffin322 Yes... and another thing... When it comes to the protagonists, we experience things from THEIR POV... and I don't want to be "in the head" of someone who is... vile. I think most people would agree with that, and so... It helps if the protagonist of the story is a "decent" person... at least.
I whole heartedly disagree that "The force awakens" was in any way, shape or form a "serviceable entry". It was loathsome. The absolute best I can say about it is that it had a pretty decent setup at the beginning of the movie for the protagonist.
I'd argue that TFA was the absolute worst of all the Disney SW garbage. Because as bad as the rest of the sequels are at least there is an ounce of originality in them. TFA was a lukewarm rehash of A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. There was a galaxy full of stories and possibilities and they did soft reboot 🤮
Wow, last year I bought an e-reader and was freshly confronted with all women author lists. I was completely taken by surprise. I had to go 4 pages down to finad a man. Wtf. I used to be completely opposite. My trust at the time in a valid read of one of those woman was hovering at 0-1 out of 10. Let's be clear, my all time favorite book is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. But that is a unique showcase that women can write great books, that women can be great like Madam Curie. Be great on their own two legs that is, and not lifted by discriminating reactionary discourse. Who would have guessed women can be admired by all, when REALLY being strong, smart, thoughtful and tenacious
You know what really doesn't make sense about the current trend of trying to rewrite male-focusing franchises into female-focusing? Just prior to this trend, we saw over half a decade of successful, female-focused megablockbuster franchises. Twilight, 50 Shades, Hunger Games, Divergent. You can argue the quality of those franchises, but they were original stories that aimed for a female audience from the get go. And they were much more successful than trying to remake established franchises to be more feminine. I suppose it wasn't good enough that women had their own things to watch and men had their own things to watch. Everything needs to be made for women to watch and men can make do with nothing. The funny thing is, based on audience numbers and box office numbers, these remade franchises don't even seem to interest women. Studios aren't even trying to make the next Hunger Games-like series (aka a new franchise based off a popular female book series) The studios seem content with twisting a squashing established male franchises rather than trying to make something new that would genuinely appeal to women.
Ellie and Alan don't even register as a couple in Jurassic Park, I noticed one instance of her calling him "honey" and Alan saying "yeah" when asked if they were in a relationship by Dr Malcom. Two totally dismissible lines that the film would not suffer from losing. So for her to say their relationship was troubling is silly, it barely registers.

They hate the natural prestige that is often associated with men, whenever a role such as a hero comes to mind. These women aren't heroic, they're narcissists obsessed with self aggrandizing. They're the epitome of why women never get associated with the role of a hero. Men became legends because they often didn't do amazing things in hopes their names would be remembered. The most remembered men in history are the ones who took risks and were willing to lose everything they had, whether it was their physical wealth, their reputation, or their own lives. Such a characteristic is not a natural aspect of women.

@@mxvega1097 It began much earlier. During Obama's presidency. People have poor memories. They forget about the recession, the bank bailouts, auto manufacturer bailouts, that huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, that decimated wild life in the beaches across the south, the shooting of Treyvon Martin and Obama saying that could have been his son. They forget about his pushing LGBT stuff and dividing American by racial lines. Trumpism was a reaction to all of that stuff. The only difference is the media really went overboard with the attacks on conservatives around the time Trump first ran for president.
Seriously, maybe check out some decent entertainment instead. Star Wars may be ruined, but Terrifier movies are fun. Concord might be trash, but Metroid Dread is fantastic. Samus is a strong female character and she is awesome. There's good stuff out there. Why keep complaining about Velma when you knew it was bad during season one? Why keep watching Rings of Power when it was terrible from the start? Why are you still watching and complaining about it instead of moving on?
@@TonySmits Some people watch it to report on it. Others, like myself, are only watching these videos. I'm currently mostly watching anime, old and new one.
The publishing bias is a critical point. It is flat out sexual discrimination. If I were a male author, constantly being turned down by publishers, I would make a legal case for this, and cite these statistics as evidence against the publisher. You'd likely win the case. All you ambulance chasers out there?....This is your chance. What are you waiting for? You like money, don't you?
If you don't read romantacy or self help, the percentage of female authors goes down considerably. The percentage of good books by either gender is very low in general. The publishing industry is in real trouble right now.
You're really firing on all cylinders, son, articulating ideas I've had but haven't seen expressed much. Enjoyed you on Drinker's Open Bar. I need to watch your videos twice just to absorb it all.
I honestly don't give a shit if the protagonist is male or female. Just tell a good story. The stories from Disney over the last few years have been fuck-awful.
As long as we're in a free market, any unaddressed market demands will be filled by alternative options. Hollywood is collapsing on itself and the demand for good stories and entertainment will being filled by foreign movies, anime, even TH-cam. I suspect the same will happen with literature.
The sad thing is that none of this HAS to be bad. Star Wars, rings of power, etc, all could have been good and entertaining, even with their disproportionate women cast, but these hacks completely blew it by making all the wrong decisions. You can have all the diversity you want so long as the story is good, but these people were just too concerned with stroking their own egos.
There’s no subtlety or nuance in story writing nowadays. They could’ve easily snuck in their “message” into the overall script, but since they’ve hired activists instead of talented and experienced writers, they just lay out all their cards on the table for the world to see, long before the product is released! 😂
One of my favorite videos you’ve done. The landscape of literature, especially scifi and fantasy, is overrun with mediocre female authors. it’s been driving me crazy. I felt like I was taking crazy pills with the sheer volume of uninspired slop on the shelves. As a demonstration to my friend, I searched “Military” on the popular library app Libby, the number one result is a book about being a woman in the service. 😂
Women are by nature, focused on themselves. Men are by nature, focused on the task at hand. When you're doing something for the population at large, it's best to have the male mentality. And that's includes everything across the board, from entertainment, to politics, to business, etc. This society was built and is maintained on man's focus on the task at hand. With people now trying to put women in roles that require focus on the task at hand. The society is in danger of collapse.
When it comes to marvel and Star Wars, me a 47yo male was one of the last to quit on them, my wife was first, my daughter was soon after, my 2 sons, 2 brothers, my parents and I hung on thinking well that was crap but surely the next one will be ok, but eventually we gave up too. Disney is literally losing entire families, multiple streaming subscriptions, and countless movie tickets all gone with almost no chance of returning. At this point I see Disney as an ex wife that cheated on me then took half my money for a child that wasn’t mine, spent it on gender reassignment and kept asking for more, then it turned out the child didn’t even exist. They keep making empty promises about changing then do the same thing again. I don’t even care that the new stars are 100% female, it the fact that the stories are complete garbage and the media promotion tactics of beating up your audience is revolting. How can you go so wrong that someone who was obsessed with something for 35 years could eventually hate it.
The problem is that they were invited in with the chance to enjoy these things equally. Then equality happened and they found they did not like it. At that point they decided that they must be the ones to define what is the most understanding way for a piece of media to be presented.
@@SeekSomethingMore I didn’t make my point well. What I mean is they had equal opportunities, but that meant effort which for them meant seeing the true quality of their work. Since that means they would never succeed they took advantage of the initial invitation to change everything so that the only products on the market are ones they made.

thank you for saying this, I've been shouting alas in the desert, the equivalent in my country for years. It borders the concept of 'longhouse' as described by Lomez. And what is not marketed for urban middle aged women is so obviously written in hope of having a movie or series adapted from it, it's written like a screenplay so that their agent can pitch it to the studios more easily. Yeah most of the time the series, movies will be marketed for middle aged women. They are the one buying stupid shit the most, so that's the most secure way to have ad friendly content.

There's an old "wife-bad"-genre saying i heard: "In a reletiontips with women there's two kinds of things - hers and ours". And it seems it is exactly how west threats it's male-audience/male-created IPs. If it's for women by women - it stays that way, nobody adding Dragon Ball-esque fighting in Twilight, nobody adds Arnold with a shotgun in Harry Potter. But if it's something popular with men? Well, that's just wont do, that is sexist don't you know, we need to change that imbalance and Modern Audience will come.
The same is true of perceptions of race and culture. It is always "we want equal access to yours but keep your hands off of ours".
You need look no further than The Acolyte to see this in action. Coven entirely composed of women? Empowering. Jedi order with women in most leadership positions and generally weak male characters? Empowering. Disproportionate representation of ethnic minorities? Empowering. The still diverse but somewhat more white male leaning version that it replaces? Bigoted and outdated.
Yeah, there's a weird obsession with messing with male-oriented things. If it's something made for and enjoyed by women, nobody thinks anything of it most of the time, not even when men occasionally enjoy it as well, but when it's something made for and enjoyed by men, suddenly there's a perceived "social imbalance" that absolutely has to be corrected.
The double standards are so obvious even a child should be able to pick up on it after a while, but we're not supposed to question it. Intersectional feminists see anything with any elements of strong masculinity as toxic and needing to be purged with fire, because they connect masculinity with any negative interaction they've ever had with men. They will never be self examining and reflective enough to question if many of these negative interactions with men are because they themselves are just prickly, bitter, awful people.

Not just the white women. Looking at sbi, black girl gamers, the most loud actresses right now, etc, this seems more a gender issue over a race issue if we focus on the two.
@@forsociopoliticalstuff2629 it's definitely women, but race also plays a role. It's two sides of the same morality. The white women are the self righteous yet guilty benefactors who lament their existence yet ironically want nothing but splendor and luxury. The black and other minority women are the "oppressed" and cry victim under the same morality to get their boon and privileges from. It all stems from liberal (and going further back, Christian) guilt.
Old fashioned right wingers wouldn't have given them an inch.
White Women are the greatest of traitors, and minorities are mercenaries always looking for a bigger slice of the pie. Put them together and you get more of the same.
Good piece, explaining why we now have bitch culture.
If there was ever an example of the lack of any diversity of thought, look at all the female characters that have been coming out in the last couple of years.
No matter the franchise, no matter the genre, no matter pre established lore…it’s the exact same character over and over and over again.
A bossy, bitchy, know it all Mary Sue who has no flaws, no weaknesses, never struggles in anything, is always perceived as right on everything, is constantly belittling all the male characters around her, and who’s one and only vice is that she laments about how others refuse to acknowledge her greatness.
Once you see this pattern, you can’t unsee it from all the different characters that Hollywood keeps churning out these days.
It’s freaking boring.
Don’t forget that she is petite but stronger than the men, sheltered yet experienced, brave yet a victim in need of a man’s help
Not just film but books and games too. It’s awful
I would add she's happy, peppy, and outgoing. Introverts need not apply.

It’s been more than ten years since I darkened the door of a book store. The last time I did, the entire SF/Fantasy aisle was full of fantasy/romance garbage about vampires and werewolves, and all of it was written by women I’d never heard of. All the old reliable authors I could count on have gotten too old and retired, or they are actually dead. Thankfully, I can find (almost) all their old out of print works on Anna’s Archive, so I have plenty to read on my iPad.
Current day science fiction is a sewer, and (almost) every time I risk my time on it, I am disappointed with a floating turd of wokeness.
I miss the good old days when I could walk into a mall bookstore, grab a paperback with an interesting hand painted cover and walk out with a good book. Some times an immortal classic.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve had to revert back to Ray Feist, David Eddings and Robin Hobbs. Thankfully I read their books so long ago, many of them are like new to me 😀
@@seyerus Wheel of Time is good too... by which I mean the books... and NOT the show... which is utter woke garbage... as you'd expect from the studio behind Rings of Power.
If you like the first book, Eye of the World, then there are a lot more... and the series is completed... no waiting for the next one to come out.
When I finished reading the canon (Updike, Roth, Trollope, Twain, etc.) I discovered many non canon authors who wrote compelling fiction. There is a vast supply of good stuff by, among others, Elmore Leonard, Michael Connelly, Rick Mofina, Jo Nesbo. Amor Towles could write the pants off any of the haridans churning out their sludge.
@@Nyet-Zdyes Read up to the 9th book I think. Really enjoyed them but ran out of patience. I read a book recently, Gods of the Wyrdwood which has a non-binary character…absolutely ridiculous. They can make their character literally anything they want in their fantasy world and they choose the most divisive character trait there is 🤷♂️ Annoying this is, the book wasn’t too bad but the sequels won’t be getting read.
@@seyerus Yes, the WoT books do slow down... but they pick up in the next book.
IIRC, you were at the end of what they call "the slog"... lots of side stuff, and the main plot doesn't progress much.
I was reading these books for the first time AS they were being published... and waiting 2-3 years for the next book, only for the main story to have little or no progress was *extremely* aggravating, at the time.
Now, though, I kind of enjoy "the slog".
I'm a straight white male writer and whenever I look at lists of short story markets, and novel publishing houses, I find that I am ineligible for about 50% of them because of immutable things about me that I can neither choose nor control. So many contain things like "POC only," "women only," "gay only," etc. And it's not as if the remaining markets are discriminatory in the other direction, if anything, they are part of it, with things like "minorities get bumped up to the top of the slush pile and/or have extended deadlines." A black lesbian literally has twice as many markets than someone like me to publish her stories purely because of her identity. I know there are people who will read my comment and sarcastically say "oh boo hoo." But fighting past a inequality with a new inequality is NEVER the right answer.

I can't believe Laura Dern was around 22 years old when filming Jurassic Park, I guess she's the kinda person that never really looked young, she always looked mature, or at least had facial features that made her look 30'ish.
She sure doesn't appear to be aging well.
I always assumed she was 30 something.
And I don't see the problem she was pointing out. Was she supposed to be in a romance with Sam Niell in the movie? I never really saw them as being other than good friends and colleagues. Never got a romance vibe there, especially with her flirting with Jeff Goldblum.
I'm confused by that. I always saw them as a couple in Jurassic park, but I thought they were about the same age. She must really look old! It's not just gen Z looking old. XD
She was born in 1967. So she couldn't have been 22 in 1992...

'Conquered the world of fiction'? More like gravitated to the most comfortable, middle class and prestigious professions that looks the most fun: Journalist, Writer, Blogger, Influencer. Actress, Model - on and on. Can't wait for them to conquer the world of sanitation work. There is a massive old-girl network in the UK which has existed for years right through academia, publishing, TV, etc, and if you look at 'new' starts of TV writing, Directing, etc, you can always trace them back to the same few things - affluence, girls schools, and their friend network (there are outliers, but they usually tick some box or other of their own). They decide who gets the funding for everything, they decide who gets their works made or published. These are the same people who talk about sexism _against them_ without a hint of irony.
As a writer, I just noticed this. It's almost all women. All I've spoke to have been really cool. But, being a novel that takes place in the Buccaneer Era, >100 years after European contact, if I'm obliged to use a sensitivity reader I'm going to insist she lets me quiz her ("yes, HER!") about Aztec and Mayan history and Guna culture. And I can't wait to point out historical examples of the "problematic elements" she's sure to find.

As a sci-fi/fantasy author, I have to disagree. I think my stories are worth reading. 🤷♂️
But I do understand the sentiment. Most of the books that get lots of exposure these days are not for me.
The early women writers were good because they had retained a male voice. Think of Mary Shelley, Edith Wharton, Shirley Jackson, etc. They could bring up women's feelings while bringing in an intellectuality. Likewise for the women screenwriters of the 1940s, which was considered a Golden Age for women in film. The best creations had a male framework with female nuance.
In contrast, I find the current female-led fiction or film either mushy or overly lush. All have a liberal message -- men bad, women good. The only sympathetic male characters are gay or politically liberal.
The longer I live, the more I understand why women were treated like property for the majority of history.
Sadly though at this point I wouldn't even wanna own one.
Any male writer able to write a half decent fetch quest novel with a relatable male protagonist, male comic relief sidekick, and female rival turned ally turned love interest could clean up these days as long as there is a cogent story structure and passably witty dialogue. I mean just look at what Rick Riordan pulled off with Percy Jackson.
The problem is they are not able to get published. Or at least published by any decent sized company. If you do not include all the typical liberal woke buzz words and tick all the boxes you're not even considered.
Not happening. The women gatekeep the industry. Read more. And hate men.
Self-published I suppose. Because from what I've heard from more than one budding writer/screenwriter is that the current publishing companies are so w0ke they automatically turn down non-established male writers as a rule. The very few given some attention are pressured to insert a female as the protagonist and have their work heavily edited by "sensitivity readers", aka intersectional censors. Openly stating such .. standards.
Laura Dern, despite her misgivings about the age difference, took the money. You know what that makes her….

When Lucas sold out to Disney, he got billions. And he insisted that Kennedy take over Lucasfilm, which of course included "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones". That Kennedy turned out to be a terrible choice, an ideologue who put messages ahead of entertainment, and decided to make those two cash cows into feminist manifestos was not Lucas' fault. But he had worked with her for years, yet apparently never detected these traits in her character. In short, there is blame to go around.
I wonder if Lucas was playing the long game after the reaction to the prequel trilogy. "You think THESE are bad?! Just wait!"
Lucas was an idiot.

Let's be clear, my all time favorite book is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. But that is a unique showcase that women can write great books, that women can be great like Madam Curie. Be great on their own two legs that is, and not lifted by discriminating reactionary discourse. Who would have guessed women can be admired by all, when REALLY being strong, smart, thoughtful and tenacious
You know what really doesn't make sense about the current trend of trying to rewrite male-focusing franchises into female-focusing? Just prior to this trend, we saw over half a decade of successful, female-focused megablockbuster franchises. Twilight, 50 Shades, Hunger Games, Divergent. You can argue the quality of those franchises, but they were original stories that aimed for a female audience from the get go. And they were much more successful than trying to remake established franchises to be more feminine.
I suppose it wasn't good enough that women had their own things to watch and men had their own things to watch. Everything needs to be made for women to watch and men can make do with nothing. The funny thing is, based on audience numbers and box office numbers, these remade franchises don't even seem to interest women.
Studios aren't even trying to make the next Hunger Games-like series (aka a new franchise based off a popular female book series) The studios seem content with twisting a squashing established male franchises rather than trying to make something new that would genuinely appeal to women.
Ellie and Alan don't even register as a couple in Jurassic Park, I noticed one instance of her calling him "honey" and Alan saying "yeah" when asked if they were in a relationship by Dr Malcom. Two totally dismissible lines that the film would not suffer from losing. So for her to say their relationship was troubling is silly, it barely registers.
Yeah, and Latin, black, Jewish and south Asian women have been soooo great for entertainment.
It's about who's in charge.
@@NoidoDev I didn't hear Echo mention Jewish studio heads.
@@christopherkelley1664 Probably doesn't want to get his youtube removed, you can't criticize those people without risking your channel being punished.
@@SSGGUTS Very true. You can criticize Bob Iger (Disney CEO) or Michael DeLuca (Warner CEO) or Jesse Ehrman (Warner president) or Peter Cramer (Universal CEO) or Brian Robbins (Born Brian Levine, CEO of Paramount) as individuals, but mention that they're Jewish and suddenly you get canceled.
@@christopherkelley1664these kind of videos are pressure release valves, they release tension before the watcher starts asking the real questions. It prevents them from forming a more precise cultural critique. Instead it becomes impotent an tries to "own the libs."
The twenties might go down as the period when society was the most egregiously wrong about itself in history
A complete clown show of an era.
They seem to conflate "making a difference" with "overcompensating at caricatural extremes"
They hate the natural prestige that is often associated with men, whenever a role such as a hero comes to mind. These women aren't heroic, they're narcissists obsessed with self aggrandizing. They're the epitome of why women never get associated with the role of a hero. Men became legends because they often didn't do amazing things in hopes their names would be remembered. The most remembered men in history are the ones who took risks and were willing to lose everything they had, whether it was their physical wealth, their reputation, or their own lives. Such a characteristic is not a natural aspect of women.
If it helps, women destroyed fantasy publishing as well. They continue running it into the ground.
As a liberal, non-white, non-woman, I agree.
Why don't they make rom coms? They don't even like star wars
Because it's not about making what they like,but ruining anything they don't approve of.
I read a book a day. I find it increasingly difficult to find good new books. I generally avoid anything after 2015 now. 2015 seems to be the year that shit happened in everything- books, films, cars, games, politicians…
Robert Louis Stevenson
Yup 2015 was the year it all started
I'm intrigued by the 2015 change. I was living in Asia so missed the lead-up to it, then moved back to the peripheral West. What drove it?
@@mxvega1097 It began much earlier. During Obama's presidency. People have poor memories. They forget about the recession, the bank bailouts, auto manufacturer bailouts, that huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, that decimated wild life in the beaches across the south, the shooting of Treyvon Martin and Obama saying that could have been his son. They forget about his pushing LGBT stuff and dividing American by racial lines. Trumpism was a reaction to all of that stuff. The only difference is the media really went overboard with the attacks on conservatives around the time Trump first ran for president.
@@mxvega1097it was the season right before the 2016 election
Then the 2016 election happened, and it all went downhill from there.
Stop watching these crap shows and movies
Seriously, maybe check out some decent entertainment instead. Star Wars may be ruined, but Terrifier movies are fun. Concord might be trash, but Metroid Dread is fantastic. Samus is a strong female character and she is awesome.
There's good stuff out there.
Why keep complaining about Velma when you knew it was bad during season one? Why keep watching Rings of Power when it was terrible from the start? Why are you still watching and complaining about it instead of moving on?
@@TonySmits Well said brother
I did! I watch and play old shows and games.
@@TonySmits
Some people watch it to report on it. Others, like myself, are only watching these videos. I'm currently mostly watching anime, old and new one.
I don't. My cutoff date for all entertainment is 2012
The publishing bias is a critical point. It is flat out sexual discrimination. If I were a male author, constantly being turned down by publishers, I would make a legal case for this, and cite these statistics as evidence against the publisher. You'd likely win the case.
All you ambulance chasers out there?....This is your chance. What are you waiting for? You like money, don't you?
If you don't read romantacy or self help, the percentage of female authors goes down considerably. The percentage of good books by either gender is very low in general. The publishing industry is in real trouble right now.
I don't recall Dern and Neill's characters being in a relationship. Was one even implied???
Yes.
You're really firing on all cylinders, son, articulating ideas I've had but haven't seen expressed much. Enjoyed you on
Drinker's Open Bar. I need to watch your videos twice just to absorb it all.
I honestly don't give a shit if the protagonist is male or female. Just tell a good story. The stories from Disney over the last few years have been fuck-awful.
As long as we're in a free market, any unaddressed market demands will be filled by alternative options. Hollywood is collapsing on itself and the demand for good stories and entertainment will being filled by foreign movies, anime, even TH-cam. I suspect the same will happen with literature.
dam Echo your mastery of the English language knows no bounds
This is far far too clever for TH-cam.
The sad thing is that none of this HAS to be bad. Star Wars, rings of power, etc, all could have been good and entertaining, even with their disproportionate women cast, but these hacks completely blew it by making all the wrong decisions. You can have all the diversity you want so long as the story is good, but these people were just too concerned with stroking their own egos.
There’s no subtlety or nuance in story writing nowadays. They could’ve easily snuck in their “message” into the overall script, but since they’ve hired activists instead of talented and experienced writers, they just lay out all their cards on the table for the world to see, long before the product is released! 😂
One of my favorite videos you’ve done. The landscape of literature, especially scifi and fantasy, is overrun with mediocre female authors. it’s been driving me crazy. I felt like I was taking crazy pills with the sheer volume of uninspired slop on the shelves.
As a demonstration to my friend, I searched “Military” on the popular library app Libby, the number one result is a book about being a woman in the service. 😂
Women are by nature, focused on themselves. Men are by nature, focused on the task at hand. When you're doing something for the population at large, it's best to have the male mentality. And that's includes everything across the board, from entertainment, to politics, to business, etc. This society was built and is maintained on man's focus on the task at hand. With people now trying to put women in roles that require focus on the task at hand. The society is in danger of collapse.
YES! The NZ drink driving awareness ad! Loved the cutaway!
Also one of the space witches with a speaking part was played by a trans actor. I'm fairly sure the same actor played ki adi mundi in the show.
When it comes to marvel and Star Wars, me a 47yo male was one of the last to quit on them, my wife was first, my daughter was soon after, my 2 sons, 2 brothers, my parents and I hung on thinking well that was crap but surely the next one will be ok, but eventually we gave up too. Disney is literally losing entire families, multiple streaming subscriptions, and countless movie tickets all gone with almost no chance of returning. At this point I see Disney as an ex wife that cheated on me then took half my money for a child that wasn’t mine, spent it on gender reassignment and kept asking for more, then it turned out the child didn’t even exist. They keep making empty promises about changing then do the same thing again. I don’t even care that the new stars are 100% female, it the fact that the stories are complete garbage and the media promotion tactics of beating up your audience is revolting. How can you go so wrong that someone who was obsessed with something for 35 years could eventually hate it.
The problem is that they were invited in with the chance to enjoy these things equally. Then equality happened and they found they did not like it. At that point they decided that they must be the ones to define what is the most understanding way for a piece of media to be presented.
You think equality happened?
@@SeekSomethingMore I didn’t make my point well. What I mean is they had equal opportunities, but that meant effort which for them meant seeing the true quality of their work. Since that means they would never succeed they took advantage of the initial invitation to change everything so that the only products on the market are ones they made.
@@scorne414 You think women have equal opportunity?
@@SeekSomethingMore you clearly have your own issues regarding this topic. I am not your therapist so don’t make me. I won’t be responding to your tripe anymore. Have fun shouting in the wind.
Yes! Where's the Irvine Welsh of the 2020's?
I'd never have read Trainspotting (generally sticking to SF & non-fiction) unless a friend sent me his copy to read. What author sums up our times now?
absolutely, if you want to know what happened to video games look at developer staff photos from 10+ years ago and look at current ones and you can see why AAA video games suck now
Or you could just say what you mean, instead of being a wuss.
Dev teams before: 20 regular guys with a black t shirt.
Dev teams now: 4 troons that don't pass at all, 7 liberal white women with bright colored hair and gigantic eyeglasses, 3 activist black chicks that say the most racist shit you've ever heard in your life, and 6 white guys that are malnourished and balding.
is this women's version of being creeps?
Honestly, this trend has become good for me, I have taken up woodworking, built a slab jarrah dining table, built patio for my house and done plenty of other things. I have also taken up mma and mauy thai as well. I just don't have time for this modern slop. This week I'm taking my family up to the farm so we can go camping. Life has become better
This channel needs a bigger audience. Excellent analysis paced for the ADHD and written for the gifted
I want to avoid going to the camps, for reeducation 😢
Absolutely important analysis and critique of the publishing industry.
I’ve been waiting for a video like this, it’s been so obvious over the last few years
It's the AWFL curse.
Wow trevor chappel bowling the infamous underarm bowl takes me back.
thank you for saying this, I've been shouting alas in the desert, the equivalent in my country for years. It borders the concept of 'longhouse' as described by Lomez.
And what is not marketed for urban middle aged women is so obviously written in hope of having a movie or series adapted from it, it's written like a screenplay so that their agent can pitch it to the studios more easily. Yeah most of the time the series, movies will be marketed for middle aged women.
They are the one buying stupid shit the most, so that's the most secure way to have ad friendly content.
I will boycot everything made by women
Including other humans?
We have the same problem in Australia.
