We have to keep in mind that nobody can force us (yet) to watch this crap. There is more content made before 2000 than a person can watch in his lifetime. Let them scream into the void.

Andor S1 was actually good, and had none of these objectionable elements. (I felt similarly about Rogue One.) There is something more depressing about witnessing a show's crapification than there would be about a show that was crap from the start.

I feel like this is SOP now: Start a new series, keep out the worst of the woke bs to get people invested and then in S2, you put a chick in it and make it lame.

They know what they’re doing, unfortunately. Most people don’t have the willpower to abandon a series mid-story. Me, I‘ll switch off something after five minutes or five episodes as soon as it starts getting woke. Once you’ve done that for the first time, you’ll realize how liberating it is.

I love your commentary. You have made a good observation, that showing an attractive women's ass in passing, today in film, would never happen unless it was for some specific effect in context or done ironically. Any other case would now be considered 'exploitation'. But, as you say, the regime is perfectly happy to exploit a fat ass for its own agenda, for propaganda reasons.

Disney's market cap is $164 billion, half what it was in 2021. Elon should buy it. Then he should remake Star Wars 7, 8 and 9, for which Lucas left behind script ideas Disney discarded for the trash they came up with. For the recent series, he would not have to remake them, but could use Grok to de-woke them, then release them again. The Force would be with him.
