Yes.

They are doing it on purpose because they must destroy the hero archetype so that the normies don't start having aspirations of being heroes, seizing the means of political power from evil men, maintaining generational wealth, having above a 6th grade education, having an identity based on developed knowledge, skills and abilities (as opposed to corporate approved identities that must be tethered to race, genital usage and spending habits).

Part of it is wokeism, but wokeism is merely a virtue signaling facade of totalitarianism.
