It’s not about a story anymore it’s only about Diversity/Wokeness and the BrainwashingThere's countless articles coming out about why such-and-such hit tv show/film from the 90s-00s is "problematic" now. Typically, due to racism, misogyny, or the various LGBTQMAP-phobic complaints.
I figured, the problem as these new woke critics see it wasn't that Tony Soprano was racist, or "Friends" was too white. It's that viewers weren't troubled by it. That's what they really don't like.

Ironically Spielberg himself is super woke.
