A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Strong disagree.

It is perfectly possible to make woke content that is excellent , engaging, entertaining, consistent.

However, woke is not a replacement for good story writing, Entertainment, everything else that makes a property good. Woke can be part of a good story, but it cannot be the story.

Arcane is my go to example

Let's get George rr Martin working on a Star wars treatment!

update:

Having thought about it more, I think the issue is not woke content. You can make as much woke content as you like. The issue is the budgets are too big for the audience. Assuming you're going to get the normal audience, plus the woke audience is the big mistake here. If you make niche content, the budget needs to be niche.

The Last of Us is another decent example in my opinion.

That is a very good example. The gay love story by far was one of my favorite episodes of any tv show. It was so well done.

That's the best TV episode ever made.
