"Greatest Act of Brand Suicide" - How Disney Lost $200 Billion

I don't know what woke even means anymore

[QUOTE=Street Hunger;14859372]I don't know what woke even means anymore[/QUOTE]

Wokism is the religious belief that all of modern society's ills are a byproduct of being ruled by an evil white patriarchy.

The woke are divided into two groups, victims and allies. Victims are the superior class, allies are the peasant class. Allies are obligated to support and protect victims at all times no matter the circumstances. As a rule of thumb, any victim who ranks higher on the oppression totem pole can revoke another victim's status at any time and demote them to ally.

The only group of allies that are ineligible for victim status are straight white males.

Then it seems like wokeism and the word woke should be used kind of separately. Because woke is him seems to now have a clear meaning as a certain way of thinking, whereas the average person who used to mention that we should all stay awoke was really just trying to raise awareness about racial inequalities or something

Like whatever woke and woke is a means now, I don't think that's how it started. It started is just people just telling other people to stay aware of any qualities or something

I don't know.

You know what I do know is, if there is a specific problem though, it is better to name the specific problem and come up with a practical solution. Then to speak in generalized terms. Maybe

All I know is the phrase "stay woke" somehow got taken and transformed into some other whole huge massive thing that has sort of rendered the original phrase meaningless at this point I guess

For example, if Disney did some bad stuff, it is more useful to just name the very specific things Disney did wrong, and to say what was wrong about those things.

Because then people of all opinions at least know they're talking about the same thing

Keep in mind this isn't me defending disney. I literally don't even know exactly what Disney did. I have to read. I'm just talking about how to even discuss a problem

You are spot on. Conservatives ruin everything and understand very little...

If the lead in a movie or show is anything other than a straight white male it's woke AF.

Unless that straight white dude is married to a sista, then it's super woke.

Disney have declared themselves woke allies and have become outright hostile towards their own history and their own core audience.

The idea of a little girl wanting to be a princess and marry a strong man repulses them. Almost as much as a strong, dominant white male saving the day and getting the girl.

No, woke AF is casting Snow [B]White[/B] with a brown actress.

It didn't get transformed into anything. Lefties were using the word themselves to describe certain things. You were woke if you believed in reparations for black people. You were woke if you believed in the gender spectrum.

Conservatives haven't changed the definition of anything. What they refer to as woke, conservatives also refer to as woke. The only problem is that now the word is associated with being retarded instead of being a genius. :oldlol:

Remember when DeSantis was gonna ride his way into the White House based on his battle with woke Disney?

BWAWAWAHAHAHAHA!

Woke used to be what the “red pill exit the matrix” shit is now.

Woke was new age conspiracy culture. David Icke shit. Waking up out of the matrix.

But like with anything the term is loaded and been co-opted.

Disney stock surges today, higher than it's been over a year. Profits and earnings defying what most thought.

Disney announces they bought part of Epic Games and will help them make the next Fortnite game.

Disney is actually trading lower now than it was in 2015. When you consider how much inflation has been pumped into the market since that time, that's really bad. By contrast, other blue chips like McDonalds, Microsoft, Amazon are all trading way higher than they were in 2015.

Wokeness is definitely a part of that, there are also other unavoidable market factors involved. But celebrating a recent short term spike in comparison to their stagnant 10 year trend is really just lipstick on a pig. Not that you care about the substance of any of this, I know trying to one-up the anti-woke crowd is kind of how you enjoy yourself. Made easier by the fact you dont seem to realize how often your arguments are simply bad or wrong, nor do you even seem to care as long as you rattled the cages. Which is just weird that youre so invested into specifically antagonizing other ISH posters over issues you really dont even care about. But that's always been the Jizzo M.O. To obsess over the 'social scene' of Insidehoops.com.

I dunno. Bless your heart I guess.
