There are a lot of rumours that the next Bond will be a woman. There's a black female 007 in No Time To Die, but it's not clear that she's meant to replace Daniel Craig. Woke retconning has already destroyed Star Trek, Star Wars and Dr. Who. I don't know why studios haven't 'woken' up to the fact that audiences hate this.

These Woke filmmakers don't have enough creativity to develop an original concept that succeeds on its own merit, so they have to draw on the fanbase of an established franchise.

Frankly sex and sexuality are such an integral part of Bond that making the character anything other than a heterosexual male would radically alter the nature of the character and the films. It just doesn't work.

I bet that studios are aware that audiences are fed up of this woke crap. But those studios don’t care. They don’t value profit as much as they value propaganda. Plus, their main target is the younger generation, of people who mostly support being woke and who were not around when those franchises were starting to grow, so they don’t understand how horrible the woke retconning is.

What did you have in mind when you wrote this? All I can think of is that they've added a nonbinary and a trans character recently, but those are new characters, not retconning.

Star Trek: Discovery - Diverse Female Space Jesus is given credit for Spock's genius. More broadly, the replacement of Roddenberry's humanist vision with identity politics.

Oh. Well to be honest, whilst I don't like Burnham (or Discovery generally, really) and I think she is a total Mary Sue, I don't remember that her being black or female has ever been brought up explicitly at any point. Sisko's race was given a lot more explicit treatment than Burnham's has been. And considering the circumstances of his conception and role in the story of DS9, 'Diverse Space Jesus' seems like just as appropriate a label for him as well.
