Everything wrong with woke culture and the impact on feminism, 2021.
00:00:04.240
Recently, there's been quite a surge in the representation of women across all media,
00:00:09.280
like movies and TV shows, including women at the helm of decades-old franchises,
00:00:14.500
even taking over roles that are traditionally held by men.
00:00:20.260
While it is a big change for everyone, everyone has respected the change
00:00:24.700
and shown up in droves to support these new female heroes.
00:00:33.940
Chat, what do you think about female Ghostbusters, Captain Marvel, The Last Jedi,
00:00:39.680
all the f- the wokeness that's been infecting in these movies.
00:00:45.320
They're- they're trying to put an agenda in everything we watch.
00:00:50.440
This is why I don't even go to the movies anymore.
00:00:51.860
And the reviews and box office numbers are just as bad as people say.
00:00:55.500
No matter how much Rotten Tomatoes tries to convince us otherwise.
00:00:59.660
Well, it's probably because everybody hates women.
00:01:07.680
They're not going to see these movies or supporting these TV shows either.
00:01:22.840
And that's what we're going to talk about today.
00:01:25.040
The problem with the modern and very woke representation of women.
00:01:31.980
I have to say that I don't really see myself connecting with the new Batwoman,
00:01:35.900
Rey Skywalker, the new female Doctor, the new Mulan,
00:01:42.100
Harley Quinn, and especially not Commander Holdo,
00:02:16.980
And every time she finishes a fight scene with rubble and everywhere,
00:02:19.580
she's always like, ah, ah, perfect makeup, hair perfectly done.
00:02:34.760
You look like you're on, you know, a drag show.
00:02:38.100
Brutaski from Edge of Tomorrow and Zoe from Firefly.
00:02:41.580
I think of Eowyn taking down the Witch King of Agmar in Lord of the Rings
00:02:51.700
The reason I absolutely love these characters is because their ability is apparent,
00:02:58.580
Their gender is never brought up as a justification, excuse, or any sort of complaint.
00:03:03.300
Hair flip right after being aware of their strengths and weaknesses
00:03:07.860
and use other people's perceptions of their gender to their advantage.
00:03:15.440
Like her everything is perfectly done before a torture scene.
00:03:23.460
And use other people's perceptions of their gender to their advantage.
00:03:28.920
Like when Natasha Romanoff lets Russian gangsters think
00:03:34.680
when really she can easily break out whenever she wants.
00:03:41.120
Fight that these women fight for higher callings than themselves.
00:03:54.520
And I have to say that my absolute favorite thing about them
00:03:59.780
They don't feel threatened or put upon by the men around them.
00:04:20.300
Why do you need to show cleavage when you're going to war?
00:04:36.500
Now, the creators of these new female characters
00:04:41.000
That these characters are here to do the right thing
00:04:43.500
and give young girls everywhere positive representations to look up to.
00:04:49.380
Well, let's look at the first mistake that woke feminism is making.
00:04:52.300
And that is taking over existing male franchises.
00:04:57.940
A few years ago, it was announced that Doctor Who,
00:05:00.620
a BBC program that has been a staple of British programming
00:05:07.660
would for the first time feature a female doctor.
00:05:10.640
Now, to say that all the fans were against this
00:05:13.400
would be just as inaccurate as saying that everyone was for it.
00:05:16.800
People were intrigued about this new direction,
00:05:19.120
but were worried that their favorite show would get the same treatment
00:05:22.720
that Star Wars and Ghostbusters had gotten before it.
00:05:26.360
Search male, replace with female, with a lethal dose.
00:05:38.240
has not been simply a nod to female empowerment
00:05:41.160
and the opportunity to take stories into new and interesting directions.
00:05:44.940
No, it's usually accompanied with some pretty heavy-handed reinforcement
00:05:58.740
and completely distracts from why people tune in every week.
00:06:05.580
And this is the second mistake that woke them up.
00:06:27.680
Remember when Charlie's Angels was set to release a few years ago
00:06:30.840
and people were doubting whether it would be a good movie?
00:06:33.520
And here's what the director, Elizabeth Banks, had to say about it.
00:06:47.820
Bro, no one wants to go to the movies for empathy?
00:07:09.400
Because I've been asked to go see movies starring men my entire life
00:07:16.120
And I don't know why men don't return the f***ing favor.
00:07:24.800
Are you going to shame me into watching your terrible movie?
00:07:27.220
...of female empowering shows might feel they're justified
00:07:30.540
in their sense of entitlement of success, support...
00:07:35.720
They're just jealous that their movies are worse
00:07:37.820
and they feel entitled female viewers are lower
00:07:42.480
They don't even take accountability in Hollywood.
00:07:48.500
Don't get mad at me because I don't have empathy to watch your movies.
00:07:55.360
But that doesn't mean that people are going to give it to them.
00:07:58.540
In fact, entitlement is often universally met with scorn and mockery.
00:08:03.840
But of course, they don't think that they're being entitled.
00:08:06.280
They think that they're asking for what they're due.
00:08:08.840
Oh wait, that is the definition of entitlement.
00:08:11.220
But the energy they're spending on demanding success
00:08:13.780
is the energy they're not spending where they need to.
00:08:16.800
And this is the next mistake that woke feminism is making.
00:08:19.440
The characters, these examples for young girls everywhere.
00:08:37.420
You look like a 12-year-old boy saying feminist nonsense.
00:08:40.900
Like, if you're going to do this women in power shit,
00:09:01.980
Batman is a system that's been working for decades.
00:09:15.080
Do you see that they don't even need to make anything good?
00:09:19.500
They put intense music over feminist garbage when a woman makes it.
00:09:33.740
Imagine the hubris of taking the work of someone else.
00:09:38.920
And saying it's going to be better if you put a woman in it.
00:09:42.140
Someone who battle-tested and designed something for them.
00:09:57.740
And that it is only perfect once it fits a woman who did nothing to earn it.
00:10:09.000
You're just a woman with fucking pixie cut hair.
00:10:24.460
Am I supposed to barge into someone's office while they're out to lunch
00:10:28.220
and demand that they swap out the name on the door?
00:10:33.120
Where an MI6 official assumes the Doctor is a man.
00:10:36.340
A fair assumption since the Doctor has been a man for many decades.
00:11:06.840
Did you really need to put down every man that has come before you?
00:11:10.840
That's women empowerment is just belittling men.
00:11:19.820
Why do they need to kneel down for you to stand up?
00:11:28.920
Women are just jealous of the power that men have.
00:11:34.800
They're jealous that we have better superheroes.
00:11:38.720
they just complain and shame you into watching their terrible movies with empathy.
00:12:06.680
I'm not about to let a man take credit for a woman's work.
00:12:16.180
I'm not about to let a man take credit for a woman's work.
00:12:42.080
Assumes that we just hand over success to men simply for being men.
00:12:46.320
By that logic, no male-led movie ever does badly.
00:12:49.620
And no male character is ever criticized or disliked.
00:12:52.780
That would mean that Solo, a movie about a well-known, beloved male character, should
00:12:59.480
I can't believe I need to say this, but success needs to be earned.
00:13:03.880
But woke feminism thinks that if you don't like these characters, then-
00:13:07.340
You're just part of the problem, you misogynist and sal.
00:13:14.320
There is no such thing as legitimate criticism.
00:13:16.740
No, any criticism of these totally incredible characters must be born out of-
00:13:23.780
You never see a 75-year-old they-them gender fluid.
00:13:31.780
You could see her like some fat lesbian with a septum piercing was like designing like a-
00:13:42.400
Bitter jealousy and a deep desire to keep women down.
00:13:45.680
That if you dislike a female character, it's because she possesses power and we are more
00:13:50.140
comfortable with seeing women in subservient positions.
00:13:53.160
Even we women who criticize them don't apparently realize the years of brainwashing we've undergone
00:14:04.920
This is one step behind the man, if not in the kitchen.
00:14:08.480
On to the next mistake that woke feminism makes.
00:14:11.040
It's unshakable belief that it is saving society.
00:14:16.500
That men would be bigoted toxic fools if woke feminists weren't putting them in their place.
00:14:20.880
And that women would be helpless, knitting by the fire, and weeping into their handkerchiefs,
00:14:27.940
That young women everywhere would have no role models without woke feminism.
00:14:32.340
Born out of yet another flawed belief that you need to see exactly yourself on screen.
00:14:37.240
Someone who has your skin color, your background, in order to connect with them.
00:14:47.200
Regardless, more female representation on screen is a good thing.
00:14:54.260
Like, we have this false idea that movies need to have an accurate representation of more care-
00:15:06.860
And feminism has been doing a great job on that front for many decades now.
00:15:11.120
That is until woke feminism came out of nowhere,
00:15:17.700
Remember when Captain Marvel came out and made a billion dollars at the box office
00:15:22.460
and everyone was like congratulating Brie Larson?
00:15:25.900
Guys, women can be leads in movies just like men.
00:15:30.140
I think what drives me crazy about this is that there is absolutely no acknowledgement of the past.
00:15:35.720
As if Sarah Connor did not terminate the Terminator and Ripley did not destroy the alien.
00:15:40.480
As if these women didn't decades ago dominate the box office as badass action heroes.
00:15:47.220
Yeah, I know, but she's just built like a dude.
00:15:54.340
Like, a woman empowerment is just becoming a man.
00:15:57.960
...been speaking well for their gender far longer than the woke feminists would have you believe.
00:16:04.020
Sneeko, prove you're not a bot, you little bot.
00:16:06.100
Um, you just sent me money while I'm streaming.
00:16:09.500
But there's one clear difference between the two types of representations.
00:16:13.840
These females coming onto the screen weren't perfect superheroes.
00:16:17.180
No, they had shortcomings and they were up against insurmountable odds.
00:16:25.740
we saw ourselves in them and believed that we too could overcome everything that scares us.
00:16:31.020
Well, what about the female characters of today?
00:16:33.560
They're either completely perfect or other times they're rude, arrogant, and-
00:16:39.940
Like, not even in a good way, they're just bitchy.
00:16:41.920
It's just like representing the feminist attitude towards men.
00:17:16.860
Their whole personality is just being a bitch and she thinks it's a protest 24-7?
00:17:59.320
Most commonly, we associate these traits with brash men.
00:18:15.120
He just said it with facts like, genius, billionaire, philanthropist.
00:18:24.680
Possesses these traits, then it's almost guaranteed that it will be their undoing.
00:18:28.980
That is, until they learn some much-needed humility.
00:18:31.800
The reason the Marvel franchise was so incredibly successful was because of the heart of it
00:18:46.820
Like, smart, awesome, hilarious, female, and power.
00:19:06.140
Tony Stark went off as an idealistic, selfless servant to his country, but eventually learned
00:19:11.260
the tiny amount of selfishness needed for him to actually live his life and be happy.
00:19:16.200
Tony Stark went from a hedonistic, self-serving playboy, constantly impressed by his own genius,
00:19:21.820
to a man who found meaning and paid the ultimate price to preserve it.
00:19:25.940
People could connect with these heroes, see themselves in their struggles, and believe
00:19:30.360
that they too could rise from their errors and achieve greatness.
00:19:38.000
Ugh, she looks like a they-them with chlamydia.
00:19:40.080
Hero doesn't get this traditional hero's journey.
00:19:43.520
Mulan is no longer a scared girl, taking up arms for the first time in order to protect
00:19:49.960
Earning her place in the army, and earning the respect of-
00:19:53.400
This movie was dope, but why can't there be like a female empowerment movie where she's
00:20:00.500
If you think about it, it's just a girl who's empowered by doing male shit.
00:20:09.600
Mulan is a girl going undercover as a man to fight in the army.
00:20:15.320
Imagine if there was a movie of a guy going undercover as a woman.
00:20:20.640
Like every black comedian has a movie where they're just like jokingly put on a wig
00:20:25.520
So it's a comedy when it's a guy because it looks ridiculous and nobody takes it seriously.
00:20:30.200
But when a woman dresses up like a man, it's a feminist icon.
00:20:35.920
No, in the new version, Mulan has always had Chi flowing through her and she was always
00:20:46.500
What's holding her back is society's expectation that a woman should not fight.
00:20:53.600
There's no competition for me because I'm the strongest.
00:20:57.700
Look at these guys' faces like just the pain, the male pain listening to her.
00:21:13.940
There's no competition for me because I'm the strongest, so-
00:21:40.020
Without a day of training, she can mind control-
00:21:42.200
You see how this represents all the females' ideas?
00:21:44.840
I'm about to watch this complicated right after this.
00:21:54.460
All these feminist characters kind of have the same personalities every modern-day feminists.
00:22:06.740
Even though I'm masculine, I have no feminine qualities.
00:22:16.900
...for guards and pick up a lightsaber and kick-
00:22:37.900
Yeah, movies are now, they're not even, like, trying to promote stories and any unique characters.
00:22:43.340
It's just, it's all the same, the same, like, it's supposed to make you feel good.
00:22:52.960
I know you love them, because, like, you know, but the Marvel movies just suck.
00:23:01.120
You really care about all the superheroes and the explosions and, like, you can see the videos
00:23:12.540
It really bothers me that those are the best-selling movies of all time, but it shows kind of the
00:23:24.080
There's nothing really, like, that unpredictable.
00:23:37.120
I like that just as much as I like the man saving the day.
00:23:42.960
That the powers and abilities aren't just handed to these characters, but that they
00:23:48.000
They hone their skills, suffer defeats that they learned from, and meditate on losses,
00:23:55.660
And can these women suffer consequences when they behave in terrible ways?
00:23:59.740
Like in The Last Jedi, when Commander Holdo does not share with her team what the plan
00:24:04.040
is for saving the last vestiges of the Rebellion.
00:24:06.720
Instead, when a male subordinate asks her what the plan is, she immediately insults him.
00:24:12.480
Before we can find a new base, so what's our plan?
00:24:22.900
Wasn't it Leia's last official act of demotion?
00:24:27.780
She assumes that because he's a man, he is not entitled to communication.
00:24:32.920
The Rebellion is this close to being extinguished.
00:24:35.860
He's not here to have a pissing match with you.
00:24:45.920
I've dealt with plenty of trigger-happy flyboys like you.
00:24:50.660
Can't, you really, can you not see the fat feminist writing this?
00:25:21.860
Expecting that your team should follow you blindly.
00:25:24.360
And if they don't, it's because of their toxic masculinity.
00:25:31.060
We should always believe women, even when they're being terrible leaders.
00:25:35.200
Okay, can Hollywood come up with a better villain than just society?
00:25:41.240
...believe in our female hero, so that's why she's not achieving greatness.
00:25:44.540
I know it's supposed to represent the struggles of women today.
00:25:48.040
But believing in yourself is just one of the aspects needed for success.
00:25:52.760
You know why I loved the first Wonder Woman movie?
00:25:55.420
Because despite Diana being literally a god killer, she isn't just an instant warrior.
00:26:01.960
She trains hard with incredible female warriors and takes falls and hard hits, but learns and grows.
00:26:10.960
...see her kick some German butt, we revel in it.
00:26:13.860
Because she's worked through blood, sweat, and tears to get that good.
00:26:20.780
They show a 10-year-old Diana easily besting women three times her age.
00:26:29.520
That's why movies suck now, because they all have a political agenda.
00:26:34.560
They're all thinking woke and cancel culture has just ruined movies, bro.
00:26:42.740
But so far, like, what's the last time you saw, like, a good movie come out of theaters?
00:26:46.160
Like, a movie that wasn't just a remake of a remake?
00:26:48.400
A movie that wasn't a female version of a male movie?
00:26:58.060
Why did she need to train as hard as she did in the first movie as a teenager and as an adult?
00:27:03.400
The problem with these perfect princesses is that it's impossible to connect with them.
00:27:08.060
Well, because women don't know how to take accountability and don't want to improve.
00:27:13.080
I'm not born with magic that makes me able to air kick spears at the enemy.
00:27:18.080
And if the lesson here is that every woman has innate abilities they're born with,
00:27:22.240
that are being squashed because of society's restrictions,
00:27:26.760
Because we're telling women that we have nothing to learn.
00:28:00.700
We just maybe want to get ahead, but you're not worth the time.
00:28:04.280
Stop watching these movies because they're making it worse.
00:28:11.360
and we should only trust and listen to women and fuck men.
00:28:14.640
They're just interested in sex and keeping you down.
00:28:20.240
I guess my question here is, what are woke feminists after?
00:28:28.340
If so, why does it seem like all their TV shows and movies are all about putting men down
00:28:42.920
And if they are for equality, why oh why are they pushing the worst lesson for women possible?
00:28:53.080
They're turning women into men and men into women.
00:29:08.740
and we're just confused and changing our gender.
00:29:13.480
There is so much growth that happens when we are criticized.
00:29:17.340
Yes, not all criticism we get in our lives is legitimate.
00:30:11.340
You can assume that every man in your life is a sexist bigot.
00:30:17.080
They're just sexist and they're trying to keep you down, queen.
00:30:22.440
don't want us to be the best versions of ourselves.
00:30:38.700
Like all the bad things we accuse men of being.
00:30:47.080
I think Brie Larson is a great example of this.
00:30:53.380
I did my stunts because I thought that that's what everyone did.
00:30:58.940
No, I'm going to be the first me, not the next Tom Cruise thing.
00:31:32.720
Brie Larson doesn't take the opportunity to give credit to the unsung heroes of movie making
00:31:37.660
like her stunt double, but instead needs to tell everyone just how awesome she is.
00:31:42.100
Work at being the best person that I can be and...
00:32:02.340
I'm probably the byproduct of years of brainwashing by the patriarchy.
00:32:12.400
If you did, please give it a like and give me a subscribe and share with someone else who
00:32:18.300
This is the first one in many more videos where I'm going to address how...
00:32:22.080
You can just see the applause right behind this right now.
