The Boys is what always got me. It was "woke" from the first season, criticizing evangelicalism and corporatism, themes that were (and still are) major topics of debate today. As the show goes on, it tackles more ongoing issues like rainbow capitalism, police brutality, and now, rising fascism in America, and it's only woke now?

The morons didn't realize you're not supposed to be cheering for Homelander.

[-] MorrisonMotel6@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Granted, I'm a fucking idiot, but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander? He was an obvious piece of shit from the outset, and in my opinion, people from almost any political bent would have acknowledged that.

Like, I see this sentiment that "homelander was making fun of you the whole time and you didn't know it" meme, but I feel like it attacks a strawman that completely did not/does not exist.

[-] oyo@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

Watch some interviews of people at maga rallies to find them.

[-] experbia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander?

early on in the show's life, absolutely yes, i saw plenty of people doing just that

I had a friend go "yea I dont like how they just made Frenchie gay now" like dude, he is one of the fruitiest characters I've ever seen. And he has always been like that. I feel like anti LGBTQ+ people just dont have people skills and can't tell if someone is queer. That would explain why they keep insisting that back in the day noone way bi and all that.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Is the boys really woke or just anti maga? Or is woke now just anti maga?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Woke is anti MAGA, but also other things.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

I would say MAGA is anti woke, and woke is whatever dear leader wants it to be

i had a chuckle when i read some comment complaining about star trek discovery being "woke" LOL

dude, of all the shows ever, which one do you think practically INVENTED what you call "woke"?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

There are conservative Star Trek fans and it's really weird. They ignore the diversity and the socialist utopia and just focus on pew pew space battles.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

I liked it back when it was anti imperialist, anti capitalist, anti racist, and promoted socially progressive relationships, not like now when it's anti imperialist, anti capitalist, anti racist, and promotes socially progressive relationships!

“I only watch Star Trek for the Klingons”

[-] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Lmao, no they dont.

Klingons have brown skin.

[-] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe they watched it for the original Klingons? (Brown face)

Which is hilarious because (and I say this as a huge Trek fan) the pew pew space battles are easily the worst part of Star Trek, production-wise.

LMFAO. RATM lyrics were so radically leftist that I am fairly certain the entire band was on an FBI watchlist.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

well the CIA did shut down their website

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Really?!? LOL.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The name itself is very leftist. There could be a band named "This Band is Woke and Always Has Been" and they would say they're woke now.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

When I was young the world was pure and innocent, but then I learned about politics and everybody started doing it.

[-] sodalite@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 year ago

rage against the machine lmao that's like saying system of a down is woke now

[-] jeanofthedead@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago

They’re all woke except X-Men, which is “work” now.

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

If the far right possessed any humanity, creativity, talent, or imagination they could create their own woke-free entertainment but they don't so they should shut the fuck up and be grateful that everyone else can.

[-] SteveNashFan@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Politicized media discourse is so annoying. The Disney Star Wars trilogy wouldn't magically become good if conservatives were in charge of it. Crap writing is crap writing, no matter what ideology (or lack thereof).

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

Conservatives being in charge of writing produced such masterpieces as Mr. Birchum and Ladyballers. Both Benny Shaps and Jeremy Boering failed to make it in Hollywood as writers for a reason.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Conservative writing is just an endless stream of punching down.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Oh no, does that mean Barbie is woke now too?

(Just kidding, Barbie has always been woke.)

The best part of this meme is that it takes into account the fact that they haven’t figured out how unimaginably, purposefully woke The Matrix is

[-] blahsay@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Disney is woke.

I shortened it for you.

[-] PanoptiDon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Sounds like people who weren't aware before are now woke

[-] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

...also, Dude, monster is not the preferred nomenclature, uh, aquatic-horror, please

Star wars is woke now

It's spelt wookie

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Star Trek. (Always has been)

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

In my view, Star Wars has actually been quite conservative. So I guess it IS relatively woke now?

[-] Numberone@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

Well Lucas saw it as an allagory for resistance against empire so there may be something in there to muddy up simple conservatism. Nothing is simple.
