Star wars is woke now

It's spelt wookie

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Sounds like people who weren't aware before are now woke

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Disney is woke.

I shortened it for you.

In my view, Star Wars has actually been quite conservative. So I guess it IS relatively woke now?

Well Lucas saw it as an allagory for resistance against empire so there may be something in there to muddy up simple conservatism. Nothing is simple.

I mean, sure, they are fighting magic space Nazis, but other than that, it's a regular ol' western.

The best part of this meme is that it takes into account the fact that they haven’t figured out how unimaginably, purposefully woke The Matrix is

They’re all woke except X-Men, which is “work” now.

Oh no, does that mean Barbie is woke now too?

(Just kidding, Barbie has always been woke.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Barbie always being woke? I assume you mean the movie.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, I meant Barbie in general.

Before Barbies, dolls for girls were always baby dolls, and Barbies were part of the change that showed women can have careers and be more than homemakers.

I thought we addressed that pretty well with during the opening "2001: A Space Odyssey" sequences.

Teen Talk Barbie got a lot of shit for "Math class is tough!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Me and Teen Talk Barbie get the problem with math class.

That's Malibu Stacy, my friend!

Yes, that was the Simpsons making fun of the incident I referred to.

Politicized media discourse is so annoying. The Disney Star Wars trilogy wouldn't magically become good if conservatives were in charge of it. Crap writing is crap writing, no matter what ideology (or lack thereof).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Conservatives being in charge of writing produced such masterpieces as Mr. Birchum and Ladyballers. Both Benny Shaps and Jeremy Boering failed to make it in Hollywood as writers for a reason.

Conservative writing is just an endless stream of punching down.
