The woke mentality isn't about having representation as they claim, it's about having their twisted, woke idea of society dominate entire industries... no more masculine men in ANY movie, show, game, past or present, which is why it's mostly adapting and changing existing franchises instead of just putting new stories out there to compete in the market.

In this case, it is a new franchise, so I wouldn't give two shits if HoD made everyone into a black lesbian woman. If they just chilled their fucking activism and stopped shreeking anytime a piece of entertainment doesn't align with their agenda, we would probably still see classic stories, with classic archetypes. I hope this article is right and the industry will start to pull back.

It just seems like a strategic blunder to me. The main demographic for this show is men, and the popularity of GOT hinged on that. Why would you shit on your audience? Trying to teach them a lesson? Fuck that. Add to that, if the stars are out there openly shitting on men, why would anyone want to watch season 2? I'm out. Season one was mediocre at best and I'm not supporting open misandry.

The problem with the woke mentality is thinking that doing a gender swap is somehow an interesting plot in and of itself. Take a traditional male lead character in a uninspired cliche plot. Replace it with a female lead character in an uninspired cliche plot. And you still have an uninspired cliche plot. Nothing has changed. Woman just does the same shit the man would have done. Lack of penis doesn't improve the story, or take from the story, it just becomes clear the writer can't think of anything interesting.

Problem is they think "Same exact cliched shit except with woman instead of man" is a winning formula. It's like, what if you remade the little mermaid exactly the same except she's black now? Well she's black now who cares it's exactly the same? You can either do nothing and be boring or do yet another cliched "racism" plot and be boring.
