Exposing the Grift: Go Woke Go Broke

'They' aren't the best & brightest within the entertainment industry, it was Kathleen Kennedy and Leslye Headland.

And it's by no means their best effort.
At this point the brand is a punchline by creators that view the fanbase with disdain, and are extracting as much from it as they can.

Star Wars still brings in $1 Billion a year through merchandise sales, but there's no way in hell they're making much off anything from what they've produced themselves, possibly with the exception of Baby Yoda.

Yeh, no one is being Ocean, May, Ray Palpatine or Darth gimpy bullocks merchandise

So it turns out the Acolyte, possibly the premier woke production of 2024 was scheduled for 3 seasons and a movie

But was cancelled after 1 season

Probably the very best example of "Go Woke, Go Broke" imaginable

Heard it on a long ass pod the other day, but here's the same info from a different source on a short clip



Too funny. The arrogance they thought they could just make a load of woke crap, using a beloved IP as the Trojan horse and everyone would have to lap it up

I'd say the best recent example of 'go woke go broke' is concord.

Best overall example.... is Disney, between the MCU, Star Wars, and many of their other respected properties. Literally tens of billions of dollars lost in the last half-decade alone compared to what they could/should have made.

WTF is this gigantic FUPA.
 
Ubisofts market cap has dropped 85% but go woke go broke isn't a thing

It’s sad. They are all incel YouTubers for teenagers.

Nothing is more funny than some guy that has a hentai addiction crying about how vidya games have flat chested women now 🤣

No I disagree, there is something much more funny.

And that's middle aged men like @SuperAlly reposting said youtube videos to a politics sub-section of a Karate forum like it's a full time job.

A playable character in Concord.

Laughable that a character in a shooting game would allow themselves to get to that size of a target.

Well, there's precedent.

I suspect the difference is that TF2 adjusts the Heavy's stats to account for his physique, like being the slowest character but also having the most HP (sometimes over double that of the other characters). Is "Daw" the same?
 
Go woke, go broke is only a grift

Meanwhile, in the real world, woke products like Acolyte don't only destroy their own ability to turn a profit, they are also destroying the future of the brand

'Skeleton Crew' Has Worst Star Wars Ratings On Disney+: Lower Than 'The Acolyte' | Cosmic Book News

Skeleton Crew fails to make Nielsen ratings, signaling declining interest in Star Wars as Disney+ scales back content amid fan disinterest and poor viewership.

By all accounts, Skeleton Crew isn't the worst star wars product of recent years. A fun "goonies in space type adventure". But the woke agenda producing turds like the Acolyte, the sequels and Obi Wan, fans are done with the franchise. :(
 
Another great video from "William" that I now TS will have already seen ad his no. 1 fan:



It isn't that go woke, go broke is a grift

It's that everyone is sick of the demented ideology of the main stream media. So they're seeking the more honest and organic views of the individual content creator that is now readily accesible

It's funny at how you actually have to type that out for our Liberal friends, who are so brainwashed, that they think "the establishment" is the only outlet they can trust. They were not like this 20 years ago. Conservatives were like this 20 years ago, LOL.
 
She took the Leslye Hedland approach to producing entertainment and put "her story" into somewhere where it didn't fit



Only cost the game director their job and potentially sunk the company

But remember, according to TS, making woke shit is a winning formula

Go woke, go broke isn't a thing. Except all the many, many times it is

I made a post recently in the Arcade in response to a screenshot mosaic showing the absurd and obvious DEI in studios under Xbox's umbrella at a time when Xbox is drowning in its competition against Sony by observing that the root of their struggles is they aren't putting out great games, and the majority of their software properties are in the USA & Canada where wokeism is the disease that has taken hold of corporate culture. There is a popular website with gamers called the GOTY tracker which tallies all Game of the Year awards from gamer publications across the globe. To substantiate my observation I cited the top dozen games for the most recent year, 2024, with the national headquarting locations of the companies that developed & published these games corresponding to their rank. Western studios are a mockery-- they have disappeared from the list like they were Keyser Soze. Take a look at it, and then rewind the clock a decade to 2014.

To heighten the obvious irony, in 2014, the #1 game was Dragon Age: Inquisition by BioWare. The #5 game was Far Cry 4 by the sinking Ubisoft. And the top three Japanese games (#3, #4, #6) were all Nintendo games, their only multiplatform presence as a nation was the Dark Souls 2 game by the ascendant FromSoftware which has become the most esteemed studio in the world, presently.

Some will come on and attempt to defend the indefensible (or perhaps remain in hiding after their ridiculous premise was absolutely napalmed), but it is abundantly clear that being preoccupied with woke ideals has fucked entertainment in the west from Hollywood to TV and the computer game industry. Your post here is more compelling evidence of that.
