> Lots of projects fail, that’s normal.

These failed for all the same reason, which is NOT normal. Studios generally don't purposefully put out bad products, except over the last few years.

They choose to push a message instead of entertaining, and that is exactly what the problem is. It is as simple as that.

everyone is pushing a message, like "spending 10x on police than you do on education is worthwhile" and "making everyone pay for healthcare separately is good"

why is that not woke?

You just destroyed their entire argument 😂 we have seen conservative ideas being pushed on all sorts of shows/movies. Looks like we have shows for everyone? Idk why they are snowflakes about it

Wild to watch the safe space crowd be so mad about this. Like, movies are not representative of a society. If you don’t like something don’t watch it. The US is a huge place, lots to do here, make the most of it lmao

Or they can spend their time getting mad gay/black people and women exist. I’m not their boss

that last part is the real reason tbh they use the word "woke" to hide their real feelings

“Pushing a message” has been around for a loooooooooooooong time my friend. It’s just that you guys have now weaponized the word “woke” to go against anything that is non-traditional. Guess what? A majority of the population supports these “woke messages”. Before you give an example of Velma as “go woke go broke”, we think it sucks as well. Not for the same reasons though.
