Everything wrong with woke culture and the impact on feminism, 2021.
1.00
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,
1.00
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.
1.00
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.
1.00
00:01:03.880
Turns out 50% of the population is female.
0.90
00:01:07.680
They're not going to see these movies or supporting these TV shows either.
0.95
00:01:19.140
These TV shows are, spoiler alert, really bad.
0.99
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.
0.85
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,
00:01:46.580
Harley Quinn is just like the face of thought.
0.55
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.
0.79
00:02:27.760
She's always walking like she's on the runway.
0.99
00:02:34.760
You look like you're on, you know, a drag show.
0.96
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
1.00
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
0.99
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.
0.92
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
0.95
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.
1.00
00:04:52.300
And that is taking over existing male franchises.
1.00
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.
1.00
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?
1.00
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.
0.81
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
1.00
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
1.00
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.
1.00
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.
1.00
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.
1.00
00:08:40.900
Like, if you're going to do this women in power shit,
1.00
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?
1.00
00:09:19.500
They put intense music over feminist garbage when a woman makes it.
1.00
00:09:26.420
Why don't you make your own fucking movie?
1.00
00:09:33.740
Imagine the hubris of taking the work of someone else.
0.99
00:09:38.920
And saying it's going to be better if you put a woman in it.
1.00
00:09:42.140
Someone who battle-tested and designed something for them.
0.96
00:09:48.560
Imagine strolling in and demanding that...
0.99
00:09:51.680
What happens when Batwoman gets her period?
1.00
00:09:57.740
And that it is only perfect once it fits a woman who did nothing to earn it.
0.73
00:10:09.000
You're just a woman with fucking pixie cut hair.
1.00
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.
00:10:40.280
Does the female Doctor handle it with grace?
1.00
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.
1.00
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.
1.00
00:11:34.800
They're jealous that we have better superheroes.
0.63
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.
1.00
00:12:16.180
I'm not about to let a man take credit for a woman's work.
1.00
00:12:39.420
She's just absolutely the worst person alive.
0.94
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-
1.00
00:13:07.340
You're just part of the problem, you misogynist and sal.
0.98
00:13:11.880
This is the next mistake of woke feminism.
1.00
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.
1.00
00:13:31.780
You could see her like some fat lesbian with a septum piercing was like designing like a-
1.00
00:13:42.400
Bitter jealousy and a deep desire to keep women down.
1.00
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.
0.71
00:13:53.160
Even we women who criticize them don't apparently realize the years of brainwashing we've undergone
0.98
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.
1.00
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.
1.00
00:14:20.880
And that women would be helpless, knitting by the fire, and weeping into their handkerchiefs,
1.00
00:14:27.940
That young women everywhere would have no role models without woke feminism.
1.00
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.
1.00
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.
1.00
00:15:11.120
That is until woke feminism came out of nowhere,
1.00
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.
1.00
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.
1.00
00:15:47.220
Yeah, I know, but she's just built like a dude.
1.00
00:15:54.340
Like, a woman empowerment is just becoming a man.
0.71
00:15:57.960
...been speaking well for their gender far longer than the woke feminists would have you believe.
1.00
00:16:04.020
Sneeko, prove you're not a bot, you little bot.
1.00
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.
1.00
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-
1.00
00:16:39.940
Like, not even in a good way, they're just bitchy.
1.00
00:16:41.920
It's just like representing the feminist attitude towards men.
1.00
00:17:16.860
Their whole personality is just being a bitch and she thinks it's a protest 24-7?
1.00
00:17:59.320
Most commonly, we associate these traits with brash men.
1.00
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.
1.00
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.
0.99
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
1.00
00:19:57.160
like empowering herself by doing female shit?
1.00
00:20:00.500
If you think about it, it's just a girl who's empowered by doing male shit.
1.00
00:20:09.600
Mulan is a girl going undercover as a man to fight in the army.
0.99
00:20:15.320
Imagine if there was a movie of a guy going undercover as a woman.
0.99
00:20:20.640
Like every black comedian has a movie where they're just like jokingly put on a wig
1.00
00:20:25.520
So it's a comedy when it's a guy because it looks ridiculous and nobody takes it seriously.
0.84
00:20:30.200
But when a woman dresses up like a man, it's a feminist icon.
1.00
00:20:35.920
No, in the new version, Mulan has always had Chi flowing through her and she was always
00:20:41.080
meant to be the greatest warrior of all time.
0.99
00:20:46.500
What's holding her back is society's expectation that a woman should not fight.
1.00
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?
1.00
00:21:44.840
I'm about to watch this complicated right after this.
00:21:52.120
And they have all the same bitch attitudes.
1.00
00:21:54.460
All these feminist characters kind of have the same personalities every modern-day feminists.
1.00
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-
00:22:23.160
This is why all women think like this, bro!
1.00
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.
1.00
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?
1.00
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?
1.00
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.
0.98
00:25:31.060
We should always believe women, even when they're being terrible leaders.
1.00
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.
1.00
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.
1.00
00:26:10.960
...see her kick some German butt, we revel in it.
1.00
00:26:13.860
Because she's worked through blood, sweat, and tears to get that good.
0.98
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.
1.00
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?
1.00
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.
1.00
00:27:08.060
Well, because women don't know how to take accountability and don't want to improve.

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,
1.00
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.
0.98
00:28:09.300
Born with everything we're capable of being,
1.00
00:28:11.360
and we should only trust and listen to women and fuck men.
1.00
00:28:14.640
They're just interested in sex and keeping you down.
1.00
00:28:20.240
I guess my question here is, what are woke feminists after?
1.00
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?
00:28:49.480
Because we're supposed to make women stronger.
1.00
00:28:53.080
They're turning women into men and men into women.
1.00
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.
00:29:28.900
Telling women that you don't need to grow,
1.00
00:30:11.340
You can assume that every man in your life is a sexist bigot.
0.97
00:30:17.080
They're just sexist and they're trying to keep you down, queen.
1.00
00:30:22.440
don't want us to be the best versions of ourselves.
0.71
00:30:38.700
Like all the bad things we accuse men of being.
0.99
00:30:47.080
I think Brie Larson is a great example of this.
0.85
00:30:50.460
She is the true embodiment of woke feminism.

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.
00:31:19.620
Brie Larson doesn't take the opportunity...
1.00
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

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.
