I'm glad society is finally starting to put this bullshit behind us. Hopefully they fire whoever was responsible for this nonsense too.

I predict by 2025 most of this woke bullshit will be gone. They are just losing too much money with it. People are not going to movies or buying their woke merch.

For a long time Vanguard and Blackrock have been giving preferential financing rates through the ESG system, to media companies who pushed this woke shit. So it didn't actually matter that much if they lost money from consumers not paying for it. However Vanguard pulled out 2 weeks ago, so it's likely that go woke, go broke really is going to start genuinely happening now.

As for the merch, I grew up reading comics all my life. I read most Marvel from issue 1 onwards. I loved them from childhood to early adulthood and even when I was older, still bought select books up until around 8 years ago. I have lots of merch. But do I want to wear my SheHulk t-shirt anymore? No I fucking don't because I really don't anyone to think I liked that shitty Disney train wreck. This shit has spoiled so much shit that I have always loved.

Just looked it up, found this: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/stacey-lennox/2022/12/08/vanguard-backs-down-from-esg-investing-heres-why-n1651747 Unfortunately, it looks like they're not totally out. And they pulled out of an environmentalist thing, whereas the part of ESG I'm worried about is the SG not so much the E. Long ways to go.

Agree. It's insane how it shapes culture.
