Hollywood is woke + Boycott movie awards shows
Stop supporting movies you think are woke if you want woke-ism to go away. The reason these movie studios force diversity into their movies is because they get awards and recognition.

there are def bigger problems within hollywood tho.. and you chose to focus on it being "woke" before you focus on any of those issues ? weird. boycott it sure but i think you should be boycotting because of all the misconduct going on :/ i mean lots of those a-lister actors had a connection with epstein for example :/

Film out of Los Angeles' entertainment industry are always about breaking down social barriers, and have always been. Particularly since the end of the Second World War.

If you don't like it, then don't watch it. But you're not going to change it.

Old news

And I already have, but that's not going to help they are intent on self destruction it seems, they rather fake morals then make money it seems

Being aware of social injustice of any form, is not faking morals. And making a film appealing and making money is as equally important.

i dislike the anti woke crowd, they'll call anything they don' t like woke, if there's a female protagonist they consider the movie to be woke.

I also find it ironic, that initially these people called leftists "snow-flakes" and now they are the people who are actively looking for somthing to be offended by. It's like an addiction.

The height of irony is when these people claim things like "Star Trek has gone woke" without realising, that Star Trek always has been progressive since the beginning. Or when they claim that "Sarah Connor is a good female protagonist", while they would absolutely give Terminator 2 ♥♥♥♥ for being "woke" if it came out today.

That's not every person. That's the stupid anti-woke people. Take the new Zelda game for instance; people were calling that woke because you play as Zelda. However, the game was using a kid's cartoon style. Plus, Nintendo made a game with Princess Peach before and people didn't complain as much.

I've not seen a TV show or film since 2009 because I knew how screwed up the industry was. You're 15 years late.

Trek was a glimpse into what could be if people just got along. And it was more than just Nichelle Nichols playing Uhura, but a whole gamut of characters, and quite frankly a whole spectrum of films and TV shows.

Why on Earth anyone would be against showing people of all backgrounds getting along is beyond me.

These are the people complaining about the reboot She-Ra (a character being 16) not being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enough.

exactly, they would also hate on alien, and i'm convinced they'd even hate on the godfather and scarface because those are movies about populations who migrated to the united states..
When woke isn't forced into every movie, they're viewed differently. When most media is forcing some liberal DEI agenda, it is viewed differently.

A. How do you decide, what it is "forced"? Online grifters are crying "woke" at every possible opportunity. They decide that purely on "feelings".
B. Terminator 2 and Aliens were both movies with strong feminist undertones. On purpose. Anti-woke people would complain about that.
C. What does it matter if it was "forced". The only thing that is relevant if the execution was good or not. While I liked Endgame, I criticise the movie for the stupid all-female gangup scene. Not that I have an issue with the idea itself but how heavy-handed it was executed. Anti-woke people would complain about it, even if the scene would have made sense logically in-universe.

Watch this video because it explains why woke-ism is a problem. Companies are pandering to an annoyingly loud and obnoxious voice of a few loudmouth individuals and basing their entire intellectual properties around them.

Why is it a problem? In your own words please. It's only a problem because you disagree persoanlly with the message. But not everythng has to be for you.
