I couldn't think of something, so yes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) Could you share what qualifies as "woke" for you? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works -17 points 2 years ago* (5 children) A piece of media who pushes politics. The politics doesn't belong in the media's story and world. Like the creator(s) just added it in to push an message. Before someone ask. Yes, Right wingers do this. But I mainly see the Left do this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 14 points 2 years ago Would you consider military operations in a foreign country a political theme? Also do you think it's okay for artists include a message in their work, even if it feels "pushed" to you? Maybe it feels essential to the creator, but since you disagree with the message it feels pushed to you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* Ever stop to wonder who decided that sexuality was "political"? Sim City is a political game, because you're the goddamn mayor. Please explain to me how and why my genitals should have ANYTHING to do with politics. permalink fedilink source parent [–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* The politics doesn't belong in the media's story and world. Like the creator(s) just added it in to push a message. literally all of literature is created to push a message. who are you to say what “belongs” and what doesn’t? it’s their story. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TGhost@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (3 children) Lmao, you clearly don't deserve your avatar.

The reason why the writing sucks. The creator(s) don't about the quality of the writing. Because all they want to do is push an message. All of that type of stories are woke. Like I been saying all this time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago No dude the writing sucks because the writer is underpaid, is sucks because someone want quick cash, is sucks because who make decisions doesn't want quality he wants money. Mad Max Fury Roads is a fucking woke movie but was been made for a long fucking time, the storyboard was made decades ago and when they finally film it they got all the time in the world for editing and even after numerous setbacks during production and the "woke" plot is one of the best action film ever made. Stop eating right wing propaganda. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TGhost@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago You lost my interest and I will not educate you 😂🙃 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 1 point 2 years ago That's a potentially interesting definition. Dream Daddy, the daddy dating sim isn't a woke game in this context because the conceit of it being an LGBT friendly town with a bunch of single gay dads makes it all make sense. But a game set in 1300s Japan with a lesbian white protagonist would be woke because that seems incongruous? permalink fedilink source parent
