What is woke about the lil mermaid?

[Nomad]

Their using woke just as a catch phrase to complain about all the same stuff they've always hated. They're using woke the same way they used the acronym PC 30 years ago.

The hate will always be there. I'm saying they have been trained like monkeys to scream about woke, and they'll stop using the buzzword once Fox decides they have gotten enough mileage out of it.

If you had tried, you couldn't have come up with a more overly simplistic, farther off the mark explanation than that.

Obviously some people don't mind living in a society where a couple of relatively small, self-interested agenda pushing groups cry victim non-stop and when others have the temerity to question them or their motives, their strident, brain washed little protectors who have some deep seated inner need to feel enlightened and superior, jump to their defense and start throwing insult-laden hissy fits about hate and bigotry, etc, etc.

Woke refers to pandering and coddling the hand wringing victim card players and agenda pushers of society.

BTW, I've never watched Fox News in my life, I despise Trump and DeSantis, I support the prosecution of the J6 riot traitors, etc, etc, etc.

And I'm sick of the all the lettered, alphabet groups from BLM to LGBTQIA+√-3.1416•r²

So please tell me how I fit into your neat little box.

 

[Nomad]

Let's hope so, but I'm not so sure.

Disagreed. This seems a symptom of a larger problem. Fearful, stupid people who outnumber or are more powerful than their opposites always seem to cause lot of violence....out of fear.

Fearful people are not always cowardly people. They can be dangerous. James Baldwin said it perfectly, IMHO:

Oh golly gee whiz look everybody!!!

99.9 percent of the people who run around using the word wokeism in a derogatory fashion are Trump cultists.

That's who I am writing about. I'm not writing about the statistically insignificant and extremely anomalous.

Agreed. I'm often reminded of when David Duke hung up his wizard robes, put on a suit and started talking about "white heritage" instead of lynching black men. Same hate, different tactics.

Got a source to back up that 99.9% statistic? j/k

Rough day at work, Nomad? Did you get some bad news in the mail? Hemorrhoids acting up again?

Some JPP members overreact all the time, which is usually an indication of mental issues. In your case, you are oddly out of sorts so that indicates personal problems of some sort and your overreaction is displaced aggression.

 

[Nomad]

Not everyone who uses the term woke is a drooling, hate-filled cartoon character bigot....

Just havin' some fun, son.

And you....?

You seem confused since it was Cypress talking about woke. I think it's overblown; first by the Left and then weaponized by the Right.

Sure you are.

Me too.

No, I was responding to you.

[Dutch Uncle]

No, I was responding to you.

Awesome.

 

[Nomad]

Awesome.

I'm happy that you're happy.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

I'm happy that you're happy.

Good. It's also good to see you calm down. So what happened today that upset you so much?

 

[Nomad]

Good. It's also good to see you calm down. So what happened today that upset you so much?

I was never not calm.

All I did was respond to about four or five, maybe six posters who were bringing it on.

So I brought it back.

No big deal.

Why try to mischaracterize me as being upset.

If anyone was getting upset, it was that QP! guy and Concart.

Those two were coming unglued.

I was, as always, cool as a cucumber.

 

[Taichiliberal]

In a nutshell: I would find it absurd if stories from the Brother's Grimm were suddenly being portrayed on the big /little screen by actors other than of caucasian European/Latin descent. I would also be equally flabbergasted if you had Robert Pattison in prosthetic make up doing "The Jesse Owens Story".

So yeah, painting the traditional mermaid created by Danish writer Hans Christian Anderson black is just pandering, IMHO. Black folk are strong, resilient and practical people at heart....and will remain so as long as we don't start enabling this trend.

No doubt you're 100% sane too.

Agreed on QP!, disagreed on Concart.

 

[QP!]

Blacks do not represent anywhere near the majority, or even an equal portion of the American movie going public, you retarded homo.

Their entire demographic only represents 12% of the population.

And of that 12%.... MAYBE half are potential movie theater box-office customers.

A relatively intelligent fifth grader could understand the economic implications of that.

But I guess it's too much for a silly, bubble-headed queen to grasp.

Too busy grasping other things.

Holy fuck you are stupid.

I said business can and do cater to minority populations and you come back and say 'blacks do not represent the majority'.


People who buy strawberry ice cream do not represent the majority but someone still wants to sell to them you fucking simpleton.

Selling to niche populations is massive business.

You are still crying that 'i am a white male in the majority and all business should only pander to me... me... me... me', like a fucking child.

Ask yourself why you care if business wants to make strawberry icecream or a movie for a minority of the buying public and when you do that you will understand capitalism you simpleton.

So far, the movie is tanking at the boxoffice, Einstooge.

If it was such an awesome smart business move on their part, why is it looking like they'll be lucky to break even?

Dumbass.

Well I even question the sane part myself, so....
