Woke and the death of creativity go hand in hand.

Hear that sound? Walt, spinning in his grave.

Fire all the writers and give it to AI. They couldn’t do any worse.

The reason, at least in part, is because liberalism removes morality. Without clear morality, you can’t have clear heroes and villains. Without that simple basis of heroes and villains, you cannot create storylines that involves heroes and villains.

That’s the real reason for the dearth of new material in Hollywood, I think.

“Woke” and “dead”.

Goes together like “peas and carrots”

Yes. I thought it was bad enough they were pulling live CGI stuff on their PC Disney creations.

Now they’re going live CGI on REAL Walt animation, besides the self-conscious diversity.

Wokeness forbids creativity. Things that create interest and thematic tension in a story are offensive.

Collectivism can only destroy.

Walt would never dig what's goin' down...

I heard a rumor that a remake of Gone With the Wind is being considered with black plantation owners and white slaves. (Didn't really hear that, but wouldn't be very surprised if it's true.)

I’m gonna ask ChatGPT to take the song, “Love and Marriage” and ask it to change the line, “You can’t have one without the other” to something with ‘woke’ and ‘lack of creativity’.

Well, I tried and it said that it could not change the lyrics of the song, but then I asked ChatGPT to write a song with ‘woke’ and ‘lack of creativity’, and it responded with a bunch of suggestions in the rock-and-roll genre. Try it. ;)

Hiring a Latina to play Snowflake is race-swapping? How so?

It is illogic like this that makes our side look ridiculous.

Compare it to pictures of Jesus. Almost certainly Jesus was a dark featured Mediterranean. But most pictures of him make him out to be a fair skinned northern European. missionaries in Africa told me that in Africa most pictures of Jesus show Jesus to be African.

Martin Luther King was right, judge a person by the content of their character...including SnowWhite.

PS My first girl friend and her daughter were extremely blonde, extremely white Latinas. Most “pretty” women on Latina TV are blonde and white.

Where are all the wonderful Negro fairy tales? Oh, Disney already told them in Song of the
South
, but they blacklisted their own movie because it depicts happy black folks in the
postbellum South. But we can't have that because it doesn't fit the “narrative”.

Disney blackballed their own movie about African folk tales.

Disney is creatively dead BECAUSE it is woke.

“wokeness” and its neo-marxist antecedent are fundamentally deconstructionist, anti-spiritual, materialist. Man is a machine which can be broken down and re-constructed, power is the only motivation, man has no soul.

How can you create anything beautiful that touches the supernatural with such an attitude?

All a marxist can do is tear-apart, and make a frankenstein recreation of what has existed long before.

Which is exactly what they are doing with “Snow White.”

The AI will be woke because the programmers are woke.
