Well, it was about time you admitted it.yes, precisely.

Nobody is buying the ‘Robocop would be considered woke now” line.As fatr as cinema does I do think the strangely ironic thing is so many people tied up in "Anti Woke" viewpoints look back to the late 80's and early 90's as some golden age of blockbusters. I would argue that blockbusters back then tended to actually be FAR more "left wing" than we see today. Films like Robocop, Aliens, Terminator 2, Total Recall, Running Man, They Live etc are really full of anti establihsment anti reaganist capitalist viewpoints, even stuff like Predator has dodgy CIA connections and Die Hard has the villians as ruthless greedy criminals obsessed with suits. You had plenty of films with a Cop/Solider hero of course but most of the time it was the "lone good man" dealing with a corrupt system and indeed often the "lone good woman".
My take would be the difference is those films were made by talented directors who had some real political weight to them were as what we see today is often(not always there are still people like George Miller around) made by less talented individuals who don't really have much substance to them. You think JJ Abrams is a hardcore feminist? JJ "have Kirk oogle Carol Marcus in her bra/panties for no good reason" Abrams?
I feel like this feeds though into the way such films present their politics, to me something like Aliens was really out to convince its audience that a mothers love better for the world than soliders machismo and corporate greed, you watch that film and your sposed to come away with a catharsis along those lines. A lot of modern stuff to me though seems like its more playing too a partisan divide, films lacking much real substance which fall back on "I kick ass and I'M A GIRL! howboutthat you sexist pig!", basically films that look to play to one audience but talk down to another audience.
Something like Fury Road for me is a film of real substance though which doesnt do that. indeed I would argue its very plot is based on rejecting simplistic divides like that, Furisoa's character starts off taking the wives to a feminist paradise but we end up seeing it doesnt exist and that someone like Nux is just as much a victim of Immortan Joe, the idea of zero sum ideniodty politics is rejected in favour of taking aim at the real emeries of much of society same as so many of those earlier films.
It is also true that people like you will criticize a product simply for having the appearance of "pushing an agenda", or because the cast is diverse without actually evaluating the product for what it actually is.
many posters on here do that to try and shut down any valid criticisms people might voiceWho said only Westerners had an issue?
Seconds. Minutes buddyThe only thing that hurts is the cringe that a walking midlife crisis spends his working hours and family time posting youtube thumbnails to a karate forum because it brings worth to his life. You know I don't give a shit about ubisoft which is why you have to keep pretending like I play these games so you have something to attack.
But I agree with you, stupidity should be mocked. So I'll continue to happily bully you and @Koro_11 with full knowledge that both of you are too pussy to do anything about it.

You don’t realise you are making a fool of yourself with this kind of thing?I guess straight white males who not only disagree with you but can beat your ass IRL don't exist then?
lol, you realise that with your posts over the last page or 2 you are turning into John Bender from the breakfast Club? Everyone doesn’t think you are cool. They are going to feel sad for you and pity you.I'm wondering now if I've had more women than you've had street fights.
But I'm glad that youtube thumbnails that another man posts get your juices running. I wonder if you and @SuperAlly could get a similar thing going in a private DM swapping images of your fave cam girls.
Ftfyi think the saddest part is how those people will view life through that narrow (oftentimes bigoted) prism exclusively.
Another retard who thinks everyone is on American time zones on the internetIt would make a lot of sense as neither of you seem to have much going in your lives during working hours of the day.
You feel so sorry for me you respond to everything I say with insecure vitriol. Sure, pops.Seconds. Minutes buddy
Oh, you think you are bullying people when you don’t realise you are the special needs, low IQ kid that everyone feels sorry for.
Oh god you're one of those international twerps who centers his life around american pop culture. You probably stay up till 3am in the morning to watch youtube livestreams about Ubisoft.Another retard who thinks everyone is on American time zones on the internet
Between you and dizzy for dumbest fuck on sherdog in the past week. Honourable mentions to avenue and henry
And so the opposite applies that you can't say that anyone who disagrees with you is a DEI pick waiting for a handout if someone who disagrees with you is a straight white dude.My point by mentioning she is female (and non white) is that the extreme left try and deny any view point that isn’t shared by extreme leftist by saying it’s only white dudes and white dudes aren’t allowed a view.
What in the quivering pussies?See when “people like you” start a lengthy post with a lie that you have concocted in your own head, I don’t read beyond the lie.
I regularly watch cinema from Hong Kong, Korea, have even enjoyed some Indian movies.
You may have had a point. But you invented some isms and phobes in your head and now I have no interest in reading it because of your own discriminatory behaviours.
Do better.
But they think you're cool, right? Look at all the likes and admoration you're getting posting youtube clips. I hope one day I can be as popular on Sherdog as @SuperAllylol, you realise that with your posts over the last page or 2 you are turning into John Bender from the breakfast Club? Everyone doesn’t think you are cool. They are going to feel sad for you and pity you.
Lol at "vitriol" for receiving comments in reply to you that are absolutely in keeping with your initial "vitriol".You feel so sorry for me you respond to everything I say with insecure vitriol. Sure, pops.
Try to keep up?And so the opposite applies that you can't say that anyone who disagrees with you is a DEI pick waiting for a handout if someone who disagrees with you is a straight white dude.
Try to keep up old man, this isn't advanced stuff.
I found the irony of those who pretend to care about bigotry and othering using a term like "people like you" ironic. I wasn't ruffled.What in the quivering pussies?
If "people like you" is all it took to ruffle your sensitive, flamboyant feathers after how much you have posted in this thread, it's because you didn't have an argument and had to search for a way out.
lol The audacity of trying to play the high road as if your other posts in here are invisible.

I just don't feel the need to defend lies you made up about me.
I notice you now realise the original "discrimination" point you made in that post was without foundation and have dropped that.
Good decision from "people like you" when making false accusations.![]()
Ummm, this might be a good time to tell you that I'm straight and I'm not interested.Sweetie,
As said by a female so you cant obnoxiously deny her right to a view, it's weak sauce to say people attack things just because of the involvement of a female (or any other protected group really):
