"inclusivity" is bullshit.
The best things (it doesn't matter what race, gender, creed or anything else) are made for specific audiences. If you try to be inclusive towards everyone, you end up making woke dogshit.

Dunno what you mean by inclusive. If you mean a movie or show that has some black and gay characters stuck in as an afterthought, that can be dire.
But one of my favourite movies of the 2010s is A Fantastic Woman (2017) about a trans woman. Highly recommended. The less you know about it the better.
Watch here, good adblock extension recommended

What I mean by Inclusivity in quotes is the notion that art should be made to be inclusive. It's an offshoot of Representation, also in quotes... the idea that you should see yourself represented in the art you consume. I'm sure a small segment of people always felt this way, but it didn't gain traction until identity politics started melding with corporate edicts.
The notion itself is stupid, but the way they're going about implementing it is even worse. Shoehorning in the most basic shallow "representations," always in a virtuous light, as storytelling slowly reaches an entropic point of homogeneity. How about a dysfunctional, abusive lesbian couple for once? Again I'll point out, the fault lies in late stage capitalism-- corporate cultures trying, for some unfathomable fucking reason, to court these ideological idiots. I do not understand it. It's not making them any money.
Have you ever felt represented by a character in a story, TD? I haven't, not really. I've never looked at a white man and been like, "that guy is supposed to be me, because he's male and white." Closest was probably
Gale Boetticher in Breaking Bad. He got very little screen time, but his stated politics, the books in his house, and his general attitude reminded me a little bit of me. His character was probably gay, btw, which I am not-- but I consider that to be "surface level" representation on the same level as skin color.
Anyway thanks for the rec, I'm sure that's good if it's told with any level of authenticity. I also still remember you recommended either Black Mass or Midnight Mass, whichever one ISN'T the low reviewed Jonny Depp mafioso biopic. It's still on the list as well.

The vodka flows and one last post appears. My last 2 cents on the case of Woke v. Gay.
I shit on late stage capitalism there, and I definitely believe it's the cause of the decline in culture and art in the last decade. It's is not the fault of government, as right-wingers attempt to lead you to believe.
I also shit on marxism. The reason is because the cowardly corporations diversity hired a lot of pathetic self proclaimed marxists (like the guy who wrote the Dilbert article) into key positions to achieve some sort of equity. Higher education churns these losers out, because you're not really allowed to have another opinion unless you want to face ostracization. It's their hiring pool now.
To be clear: I have no problem with old school, economic Marxists. The perfect utopia, a Star Trek situation (well Star Trek before wokelings, diversity hired into the writers room, wrote the federation as an evil, fascist entity in Picard and STD) was a fictional example of Communism functioning well. All you need is an infinite source of energy in dilithium crystals and matter replication, and hey, it works just fine.
The marxists I'm talking about DO, to the last man, call themselves marxist. But their bourgeoise is the status quo, it's men, it's whiteness, it's the patriarchy etc. Their proletariat is anyone who feels disenfranchised in this shitty, overpopulated world. Their methods of correction, however, are equity through authoritarianism (they call this revolution), same as economic (real) marxism.
When you combine the worst of capitalism (merger after merger, risk avoidant corporate behemoths), with diversity hired cultural marxists, you get the *worst art possible.*

i would say scott adams is sad, really. not in the sad clown sense, even if rage is depression turned outwards (it can be. it does not have to be)
no, scott adams is just a might bit of a sad sack. there was a way to express his feelings that didn't involve 1080p ranting, but he left it in his other pants

dilbert sucks compared to far side.
i view this opinion as invalid. incoherent. defungible. like, sorry, i didn't hear you. did you just say, "gigabyte mainboards suck compared to prussian blue"? because these are not compatible... stuff
far side is a gem. eternal. the man found the wacky knob, turned it to 11, then held the mic to a speaker. but i can't recall much resulting other than, like, don't read a whole far side calendar wad at once; you'll bruise a rib
dilbert, though, like... "the dilbert principle" is required reading for people getting a masters in business. that at least some of you will know, "...they're having the work done in Elbonia." the pointy-haired boss. asok
far side guy just got fed up and quit one year. started doodling again when he got a tablet and got hooked on it; no real plan
scott adams should take a lesson and just retire. i'm sure he has enough money. he will be cited far more than far side ever will. you've smashed your toys; please go home sir

Gus was also gay. The scene where he's younger and the cartel boss shoots his boyfri^H^H chemist, you can see it

Sort of, yeah. The hell of it is, neither the woke grifters nor the antiwoke grifters are interested in discussing authentic Marxism because they don't really want to upset the apple cart of class privilege, and they're rewarded for not doing so, by speaking engagements, newspaper columns, book sales, workshops, etc.
So they keep political discussion on the level of pronouns, representation in MCU movies, and how large the female character's honkers are in a videogame.
Regarding inclusivity, I enjoy a movie or book when it puts me in the shoes of someone radically different from myself. Though I can understand the appeal, if you're black, of a movie where the black roles aren't stereotypes but fully realized POV characters.

NPR Layoffs
byline: npr 10% layoffs. record ad revenue but expect it to plummet. quote
When asked about his priorities, Lansing invoked what he has called the network's "North Star'' since his arrival in the fall of 2019: a push to ensure the network has a bigger and broader audience base, rooted in younger and more diverse listeners, readers and consumers. The emphasis, he says, must be on drawing in "the future audience to make NPR sustainable for the next 50 years."
my reaction to reading this: ohhhh, that fucking explains so much. why marketplace will suddenly do this hard, awkward transition to, "so what about black people?" and meanwhile the podcasts have been jammed more full of ads about more annoying crap, and i skip past the black people crap like the ads. meanwhile they've cut stuff i liked for "but what about black people"
that, i guess, i remember listening to "a celtic sojourn" with the motormouth brian o'donnovan, and that is admittedly, like, vermont-grade white people shit. then i also loved listening to car talk, which is just two trollish guys from boston answering calls about car questions. also pretty white
and, yeah, i dunno. maybe you're in the shit because you're chasing after people that don't listen to your station and irritating people who have been listening for decades?
but, sorry, i guess i'm white and entitled. have fun killing NPR

Protests and marches are more of a touchy Feel good kinda thing and movement.
Sometimes they lead to change but mostly it’s just to make signs, scream and burn calories

what's that about? either american football or aerospace. i'm not good on sports references; you'll have to fill me in.
once, i was at a bar and "sharks" were playing "penguins" and you'd think it'd be an easy bet on the sharks. however, this was hockey. it was on ice; the sharks lost.
as for jets:
"the eagle may soar, but the weasel never gets sucked into the jet engine."
