real life story vs hollywood black female empowerment story
guess which one is which:


1. The male king of Dahomey stands down and gives up his power to his proud powerful female lieutenant who becomes the first female king, burns down a slaver outpost, ends the slave trade in their kingdom and lead a slave rotate and fend off the french colonizers.
2. The Dahomey kingdom is patriarchal, militaristic and brutal slavers who aggressive hunt for people to sell into slavery or keep as their own slaves. In the end, the Dahomey amazon female warriors lead a charge against the French and suffer 417 dead women-warriors versus 6 dead frenchmen, and are reduced to a french protectorate.


You would be shocked how many people think "based on real events" movies are actual history.
A bunch of easily led automatons.... :drool:

In this case its 'based on real events' in the same sense as a movie about the Holocaust where SS officers are woke anti-racist liberators who rescue Jews and ask them to lead their society as they fend off the terrors of invading Russians
I mean, they went out of their way to sanitize and heroize the worst slavers in human history in their anti-slavery movie

"Slavery is okay when black people do it" or something like that

I'm writing a script for a WW2 movie.
Tentatively titled, Six Million Lies.

Jesus Christ, I must be one of the few people who just watch movies and then decide if they were any good or not based on acting and if the movie was interesting enough or entertaining.

Its like Lord of the Rings of the new Game of Thrones i dont give a shit about black elves or females getting screen time. If its good enough to be entertaining its good enough.

Nope, it used to be like that.

Hollywoke now bans movies that don't tick a number of woke boxes.

Sure but what i'm saying is I dont really care unless it legitimately makes a show or movie bad. Toss as many woke boxes in as you want as long as its interesting and entertaining.

There's cases where it does for sure ruin a movie or show. I use Wheel of Time as an example all the time. The forced relationships, horrible actors, stumbling story line to accommodate an unnecessary message ,etc. Then there's shows that people bitch about being woke like House of the Dragon where it has no impact.


The problem is people are deeming anything with black actors or female leads who have any strength at all now as 'Woke" and giving it 0/10 before they themselves even watch it.

If you released Tomb Raider now you would have people all over the Internet crying about a woman that can outfight men. 100%.

I'm not sure if the internet has made men a bunch of pussies now that cant just enjoy a chick beating the shit out of stuff because their dick feels threatened, or what it is. Yes Hollywood has gone off the deep end but the crying has become brutal. You cant go on Youtube without some neck beard making a living now bitching about strong females and how these made up fantasy worlds that has magic and dragons, and everything else cant have a female that outfights a man.

Have a feeling it will be an economic flop. When the studios try too hard to push woke agenda it typically doesn’t do too well at box office.

The fact that so much money is generated outside the US is also problematic for movies like these.

China, South Korea, Japan, etc from my experience don’t seem to like movies in which a black person is a protagonist. Those dollar numbers are going to be low from there imo and they account for a huge proportion of our media consumption.


one of the hallmarks of communism is all media is propaganda. in the USSR, the communist dictatorship would broadcast horrible tv shows and films attempting to brainwash the public to love communism while they lived in bleak poverty. few watched, but because the state controlled the media, it ratings no longer mattered and they kept spewing out trash for 70 years until they ran out of money and the USSR collapsed.

this is all incrrect. weve already seen what happens with state run media in the USSR. what happens is that to save money, creating quality art is cut and as years pass you wind up with 100% low quality programming that few watch but the government bullies everyone into making a ton of awfyl political tv shows and films to prop up the empire. we are heading in that direction. in 10 years it will far far worse. every tv show or film will probably not only be required to be woke but also overtly praise the current democrat leader. it doesnt matter what it is, from a kids cartoon to an action film, several scenes will be set aside to do nothing praise the current version of obama or biden, whomever it is. kids in school may be required to watch and write an essay on how great dear leader is. were REALLY close to that.

It's called a program because it is programming you.
That is why this stuff is pushed.
That is why they don't care if it makes money.
The programming is its purpose, if it makes money great, but if not it still is doing its job.
