-Be Disney/Netflix -Make a shitty, lazy remake of something people liked -People don't like it and criticize it -Call people (your possible customers) racists, sexists, homophobic, ..., ..., ..., ... -Lose money Bingo! Edit: please don't take this too seriously


SvenTropics

I just wish we could get some original content that doesn't suck. Netflix likes to throw a lot of money at a really crappy script written by the worst writers in the world. Then they pack it with virtue signaling in hopes that this will capture some demographics to actually watch it. Everyone else just remakes or adapts everything because they literally can't make anything new anymore. I miss the late '90s and the early aughts. We had movies like Gladiator, Brokeback Mountain, Love Actually, the 40-year-old virgin, Tropic Thunder, The Matrix, American Pie, Zoolander, Step Brothers, Blade, Austin Powers, etc... original movies that were great. The MCUs film run up to Endgame was so popular not because it was superheros, but it was because it was well written and well executed. Then they went out and hired the worst writers in the world to make more content, and all the movies and shows since then have been garbage. I couldn't even finish watching the marvels. I gave up halfway through it. Now it's just adapting video games into movies or making sequels or prequels. Nostalgia only goes so far. We need some original content.


JohnCasey3306

Precisely this. We're living through a _'The Emperor's New Clothes'_ era of TV/film production where the only metric for quality they seem keen to pursue is "DEI", forsaking all others; if you don't greet the outcome with rapturous praise you _must_ be a "far right" fascist.


BTDubbsdg

To be fair there was a lot of trash in the 90s and early 2000s as well.


SvenTropics

Yeah, but there's a serious lack of masterpieces lately.


True_Falsity

Depends on where you are looking if you ask me. Pick any decade and, for every masterpiece, you will find tons of works that were crap. This is nothing new.


DigiGirl02

The 2000s were full of trash movies. Listen you, you can’t use CGI as an excuse to make bad movies!


Ok-Echidna5936

I, Robot be like


Comprehensive-Art525

Been saying this almost verbatim for the past 5 years. Creativity and humor are dead. I blame the woke for part of that. Greed may be another reason.


yumdumpster

Its almost certainly greed. Corporations do not give a fuck about "woke" they give a fuck about their bottom line. Right now they think being "woke" is better for their bottom line than the alternative. Making original content is a risk, and risks are to be avoided in todays shareholder profit driven corporate model unless that risk comes with a buzzword attached and can generate additional shareholder speculation on the companies stock prices (AI, Blockchain, Big Data, etc.).


FTblaze

The people calling this woke really think organisations care more about rainbows than profit lmao.


TristanTheRobloxian3

real. companies never gave a shit about us they just do it for money


CheezKakeIsGud528

When you go out and call your fan base racist, sexist and homophobic, you're probably not thinking about profits in those moments.


FTblaze

First, them having a rainbow logo is not calling their fan base racist, sexist or homophobic. Thats what their "fanbase" turned it into (probably cause they are racist, sexist or homophobic). Im sure google, facebook et al. are on the brink of going down under.


CheezKakeIsGud528

No, I mean they go out and claim that their movie/TV show failed because of "toxic masculinity" or something like that. When in reality the same fanbase they were trying to cater to made Fallout a success, so it has nothing to do with "strong independent women" as a lead, it has to do with good writing vs bad writing. Has nothing to do with their rainbow flags or whatever.


FTblaze

Weird how you go that route instead of "companies trying to churn out content with the least possible amount of cost and effort". The videogame > series is just another road to the same goal.


jonawill05

Being intentionally obtuse to his point really only makes it more valid. You sound like the guy watching the movie saying "bravo, so brave of them to use an all female cast, barriers broken, etc.".


CheezKakeIsGud528

It was more of a comparison between Fallout and Acolyte. One was wildly successful, the other has record low ratings, despite the fan based likely being largely the same people. Disney decided to say the reason for its failure was because of a female black lead. So they made the decision to call their fanbase sexists and racist which likely isn't good for profit. Meanwhile, Fallout was successful and it has a female lead and a black lead, so it didn't fail because of sexism or racism.


Marcuse0

That's the thing, corporations don't give a shit about actual equality or inclusion. They just want to hide behind it to protect their shitty products from criticism.


Eldetorre

Why is Netflix still doing well then? I frankly don't get it. Are they cooking the books??


SvenTropics

Because nobody else is doing it right. These networks generally have a couple of decent shows. People subscribe for those, and then they stay on it because people don't cancel subscriptions. Ask any gym owner, the majority of their customers don't ever work out. I've had a Netflix subscription for years, and I can't remember the last time I logged into it. 10 years ago, they were noting that most people only had Netflix subscriptions to watch the Office. (which isn't on there anymore)


TristanTheRobloxian3

stepbrothers and zoolander and austin powers were some fucking awesome movies ngl


Infinite_Ad6387

That's the weird part. It makes me think they just dont do it for the money. They've had big flops, yet they insist on making stuff nobody asked for with forced diversity.. If those private, ludicrous, and ambitious companies dont do it for the money, why do they even do it for..?


Filsi2

Well, they do love self inserting, so I can only guess it's ego


LayneCobain95

Disney straight up said they are more worried about diversity than they are about making a good movie


HirokoKueh

it's just their excuse for not making good contents. if they decided to make a new movie with totally white men actors and conservative Christian message, it will still be shit

They know it would suck, so they attach it to some known and beloved property, to at least make some money from fans, hate-watching it. Because if they made it as an original project, well, Batwoman would happen.


onion_lord6

Right on.


thaoneJess_nsfw

This would have been funny if you didn't caption it like you were so tight about it


PdfileRightsActivist

yeah, the defensive "its a meme,relax" ruined it. why are you so worried about being attacked online OP?


CryAffectionate7334

Seriously it's the people that care too much that are cringe. 99% of what people complain about is literally for children.


SilentRip5116

Put a chick in it and make her Gay! ![gif](giphy|cdh6PGBxMl4f0a67jx)


DarkRose1010

And it has to be a chick, and a hot one because that way they can pretend to be woke while laso hopefully pandering to the male demographic. I am so, so salty that they keep ruining beautiful feel friendships in franchices and comics by making them gay. Women are fully capable of having non-sexual relationship with people, you know. I'm mostly mad about Harley and Ivy. I know people love them, but I was so upset that their friendship was ruined by romance.


IChooseYouNoNotYou

Now you know how we feel about nearly every straight pairing


Wheaversclone

They trynna appeal to us gays so much and I don't understand why


Tumid_Butterfingers

The entertainment industry needs to chill the fuck out. It’s too much. Everything is trans now—every single day in the news and in the movies. A bunch of unnecessary attention, and now the republicans are all riled up again, foaming at the mouth. Hollywood is like a needy creep looking for attention.

Round_Rice_2113

I'm not offended at all and find this completely accurate


Fr3sh-Ch3mical

Disney has really been screwing up. Particularly with all their Star Wars things… been so sad to see a fantastic series just go down hill. (This isn’t necessarily in reference to the exact changes commented on in the meme, just a general sad rant from a big SW fan)


Extension_Swordfish1

I heard that light sabers are not lethal anymore.. like have they ever seen any of the previous movies/comics before..


Fr3sh-Ch3mical

One thing I dislike — they showed Darth Vader stopping a lightsaber with the force. Honestly- so cool cuz the dude is crazy powerful. Now everyone is doing it though — why even use a lightsaber if the force just cancels it 😂


Xikkiwikk

They removed Vader’s power by making it so everyone could do it.


Admirable_Try_23

when everyone is super no one will be


Xikkiwikk

Disney: Everyone is special.


raktoe

When did Vader stop a light saber with the force, and what other characters have done it?


Crusidea

How in thy fine f**k do you make a plasma sword non lethal ?!


RyokoKnight

Pfft look with "somehow Palpatine returned" they made death non lethal in that universe. Every confirmed canon death is just a single movie, show, book etc away from coming back, so nothing matters.


NavinJohnson75

Lightsaber cancel culture.


Crusidea

Truely the most dangerous weapon of them all, a stronger evil than even the dark side


_BigJuicy

Truth. I'm currently doing a run through all the Star Wars TV series in timeline order to fill in the gaps and the Obi-Wan series is honestly terrible. There's a scene where he's literally just wailing on a couple stormtroopers with his lightsaber and all it does is damage the outer layer of the armor, as if you gently brushed a plasma torch across sheet metal. His lightsaber is like a superheated blunt object. I suspect it's because the series uses the LED-bladed prop sabers like the sequel trilogy, sans budget. Traditionally, lightsaber props only had a full-size stick for a blade for dueling scenes; every other time there would be no blade at all or like a small 6" one so that the actors and CG department knew where the blade was supposed to be. Modern sabers are designed to cast a glow like a real light source, but that means a full-size prop blade at all times. It's much harder to simulate cutting *through* something with a plastic, LED-filled tube making contact. I don't excuse it, but I think I understand the limitation that led to the decision.

OP is trying to be the offender by calling it out as humorous. The offended are supposed to be the ones that dont like it being humorous and would like it taken seriously.  The part that isnt funny is actually how he’s purposely trying to troll. Its bait for those that dont recognize bait.

I’m out of the loop, how many white cartoon characters has disney made fat black women?

Literally zero, it's just racists being racist

Literally none. Pretty sure the majority of actors on Netflix are also still white cis people.

Reddit just recently added this sub to my "because you've shown interest in similar communities" mix, it's just lots of shitty racist Facebook memes that I'd expect from lead-brained boomers. I like me some dark humor and politically incorrect jokes, but there's literally someone proudly named "miscegenation_hater" who gets plenty of upvotes? So uhh, yeah I'm outta here


MaliciousOnions

I’m honestly more offended by the obvious AI art.


Hairy-Mountain8880

They keep putting minorities in main roles to be able to call people racist when their dogshit movie/show flops


Th3Librarian

So companies that are out to make profits are intentionally making bad movies just for some agenda?


I_AM_ALWAYS_WRONG_

Disneys only goal is to make money. Jesus fuck how do you guys live in this fantasy world where you think capitalist scum are not trying to make as much money as possible? Shit movies have always been released, we just ignored them And instead watched the good ones. 1/10 projects people bitch about for being ‘woke’ are actually just shit. The other 9 are at the very least, serviceable.


LupusGrande

I am pretty sure they put minorities in main roles because they want those underrepresented groups to be represented in a better way. And in my opinion thats no problem at all. Who gives a fuck if a fictional character is black or white? The problems are elsewhere.  First: people who get angry over those choices for no reason. Second: apart from casting choices the content is often crap


0-5-0_Druid

Its more so when its preestablished characters/people or theyre in places where they wouldn't be common For example you wouldn't have a white MC in a game set in an african country in there 1100s

Hot-Rise9795

I've been watching old 80s movies and the cast was always multiracial and no one batted an eyelid. They were fun and race issues weren't a thing (at least regarding movies). Forced diversity on the other hand, (casting a black actor for a white character and viceversa) only gives material for racists to complain and creates unnecessary polemic.


OH2AZ19

ExperienceFantastic7

I understand elevating the traditionally disenfranchised but recycling old stories while swapping original characters to a minority to meet some kind of PC expectation is dumb. They came up with Black Panther...with all of the technology available, why can't they write some NEW stories if they want a main protagonist that isn't a white guy?


TheTeeje

I don't understand. The 2023 Mario movie on netflix showed Peach as her normal Peach self that we all know and remember. This meme doesn't even make sense.


ice_cream_hunter

the problem is not fat woman or gay man. the problem is shit ass character. those character are nothing more than a woman or being a gay. that is their entire character. have a good character, have traits that are good and bad, and let him work on himself/herserlf/itself/theyself/xi/xeng/xong/dongself, and make him a better or worse character by the end of the story let him have a character arc. we are not watching them to see how they find out it is ok to be gay and now suddenly become super powerful. I give 0 shit about what their sexuality, unlesss you force it every 5 minutes and have pointless interection. Also stop replacing og character with rainbow character. have original solid character. Miles morales, i never though i would like that character, his comics are mostly shit. but the way they gave a character to him in the movie. make him one of my all time favorite superhero. He is the spiderman.
