Still going then :lol: Put it this way, according to wokedom I'm obliged to put up with your insulting bullshit simply because you are autistic.
In fact, you might get a part in one of their movies or TV shows, as the token afflicted person.

Follow the money. Since Star Wars, children’s flicks have become marketing tools for retail products. Fashion, toys, costumes, accessories, gifts can bring in more money than the movie. Marketers figure that a diversity of characters hopefully translates into a wider appeal for those products, ignoring the fact that historically inaccurate blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus has done well in all cultures that don't look like the image.

I noticed the same tendency in Ready Player 1. The good guys represent groups, or types.

Ugh. That's so cynical and no doubt correct. The word 'diverse' is a racist concoction in itself. The word means 'differing', so just by using that word they are contradicting themselves. Aren't we all supposed to be 'just human'? Wokies are so thick.

Confusing what's supposed to be with what is, is a type of thickness. This can be mitigated by treating folks as you think they should be while knowing they could be, and for the sake of personal welfare civilized treatment of folks often does the trick.

LOL There is NOT even a so-called 'insult' in there.

But there is just what "wokies" regularly "SEE".

And, WHY does so-called 'wokedom' CHANGE regularly?

One minute 'wokedom' refers to one being 'obliged' to 'put up with' some 'things', and then the next minute 'wokedom' refers to one being NOT 'obliged' to 'put up with' some 'things'?

WHY is 'wokism' continually CHANGING with 'you', "vegetariantaxidermy"?

Its amazing how the Truly 'woke' can READ and SEE some words, that is; WHEN they FIND some 'thing' that they WANT to ATTEMPT to CRITICIZE and RIDICULE the 'character' of the "other" about, BUT are completely and utterly, CONVENIENTLY, INCAPABLE and BLIND to READ and SEE when they are just asked for CLARITY, or being CHALLENGED on their BELIEFS and CLAIMS.

REALLY "vegetariantaxidermy" WHY can 'you' NOT SEE that it IS 'you' who is the BIGGEST 'wokie' here? 'you' may get the leading ROLE as the TOKEN 'wokie'.

The word 'race' is a 'racist concoction', in, and of, itself. But, so what?

And, the word 'diverse' is NOT necessarily a 'racist concoction' AT ALL. Unless, OF COURSE, that is EXACTLY what you WANT to SEE and BELIEVE.

If 'you' are NOT 'just human', "vegetariantaxidermy", then 'what' are 'you', EXACTLY? (And, your COMPLETELY INABILITY to answer just SHOWS and PROVES that 'you' do NOT even KNOW what 'you' are YET, but 'you' will carry on as though 'you' KNOW who and what EVERY one ELSE IS, EXACTLY.

Also, WHY can you INFORM us of what the 'diverse' word means, to you, BUT you will NOT even ATTEMPT to INFORM us of what the 'wokie' word means, to you? WHY are 'you' completely INCAPABLE to EXPLAIN what 'wokie' means to you, YET 'you'' continually USE 'it' as though 'you' KNOW?

By the way, "vegetariantaxidermy", 'you' are NOT 'just human', 'you' are, BY DEFINITION, as "woke" as they come. Which, by your OWN DEFINITION, ALSO means that 'you' ARE 'so thick', as well.

“Woke,” is a fluid term like F***, where tone defines meaning.
Wokism is a form of spiritual materialism *.

Saying, 'wokism' is a form of 'spiritual materialism', is NOT CLARIFYING ANY thing up AT ALL, REALLY. BUT, what 'you' said about 'woke' being a 'fluid term' SAYS A LOT, and SPEAKS for the Truth about WHY people RUN AWAY and HIDE when QUESTIONED and/or CHALLENGED over what being 'woke' REALLY IS.

TRYING to STOP and PREVENT 'injustices' in the 'world', one would have PREVIOUSLY assumed or thought would be a GOOD or POSITIVE 'thing'. But, the way the human brain WORKS, in the '21st century' being 'woke', or JUST, TRYING TO STOP and PREVENT 'worldly injustices' is SEEN as a BAD or NEGATIVE 'thing'.

The rate at which human beings are SPEEDING DOWN their DOWNHILL SPIRAL, in the days when this was being written, was Truly AMAZING to WATCH and OBSERVE. But, this is EXACTLY what was INTENDED and HOW 'the plan' was and is meant to work.

'you', adult human beings, may well do this. But, WHY?

Work this out, and then 'you' will be FURTHER ALONG the evolution PATH.

According to you I haven't explained what a wokie is, then you go on to say that I've changed its meaning. What a moron you are.
Wokie is one word, and a lot easier than writing a whole paragraph on the characteristics that wokies all have in common. No one has come up with a better word so I will stick with that one. Any normal intelligent person knows what it means. It's not my problem if you like to play 'dumb'. Wokies always claim to not understand what a wokie is. It's one of their defining characteristics :lol:
You know what a nazi is don't you? Do I have to write a paragraph every time I use the word nazi? Did Walker pointing out that all this preachy, woke 'inclusivism' on TV shows is nothing more than a cynical marketing ploy not give you the teensiest bit of insight into the wokie mindset?

One ONLY needs a few words, ONLY, to define A WORD.

For ACTUAL and IRREFUTABLE PROOF of this, only ONLY NEEDS to LOOK IN A 'dictionary'.

Asking whether you have to write A PARAGRAPH, EVERY TIME, you use the 'nazi' word just SHOWS and REVEALS HOW DISILLUSIONED or DECEITFUL 'you' REALLY ARE.

1. You, OBVIOUSLY, do NOT 'have to' write A PARAGRAPH to define A word.

2. You, OBVIOUSLY, do NOT 'have to' write A PARAGRAPH, NOR A FEW WORDS, to define A word, EVERY TIME you use 'that' word.

Now, and for the ACTUAL POINT that 'you' seem to be COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY MISSING or MISUNDERSTANDING HERE is that what A word means, or refers to, to you, does NOT necessarily have the SAME meaning, NOR refer to the SAME 'thing' as it does, for you. Are you, at least, ABLE TO COMPREHEND and UNDERSTAND THIS Fact.

If yes, then it would NOT matter ONE IOTA if I KNOW what a 'nazi' NOR what a 'wokie' MEANS, or REFERS TO, to me, BECAUSE what they MEAN to me could the VERY DIFFERENT and EVEN OPPOSITE to what they MEAN, to you. Thus, the REASON WHY there WAS SO MUCH CONFUSION, and CONFLICT, among 'you', adult human beings, in the days when this was being written.

Welcome to Netflix. Pretty much everything you watch on there is preaching wokism. Isolated mediaeval Europen villages with every ethnicitiy you can think of living there. Tiny English villages in the first half of the twentieth century with a black vicar, a black couple running the antique shop, an Indian doctor, a mixed race couple living together without getting married, a white wealthy squire and his white ex-wife with a non-white biological son, a group of young detectives in Victorian London including a Chinese lesbian (double woke) and various other ethnicities which would have been so rare as to be nonexistent in London at that time.... What are these patronising dipshits trying to prove exactly?
Imagine making a series about the African slave trade using white actors as the slaves :lol:

Why don't you go back to ficking yourself with the rough end of a pinapple? You must be missing it by now?

Follow the money. Since Star Wars, children’s flicks have become marketing tools for retail products. Fashion, toys, costumes, accessories, gifts can bring in more money than the movie. Marketers figure that a diversity of characters hopefully translates into a wider appeal for those products, ignoring the fact that historically inaccurate blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus has done well in all cultures that don't look like the image.

I noticed the same tendency in Ready Player 1. The good guys represent groups, or types.
