It’s not about a story anymore it’s only about Diversity/Wokeness and the Brainwashing

There'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.

You could go back to Archie Bunker; everyone was "supposed" to see how undesirable he was, but he became a hero to the majority of the TV audience.

A recent complaint I've heard is about the new WEST SIDE STORY, which the viewer said is "able-ist". Why? Because people dance? Apparently klutzes like me would feel bad so see anyone graceful.

Ironically Spielberg himself is super woke.
