    Disagree on the first part. Agree with the later. It definitely isn't nice that pandering has become so easy.

    I guess wokes are understandably upset? Actually honestly I don't understand.... there are many comics and sources of media out there. Unless the writer is specifically calling for harm against gays or minorities, I don't see why many people really care. There is certainly a small amount of extreme "woke" people that are very active on social media, just like there are qAnon conspiracy theorists on the opposite side that are the extreme on the other side.

    Black men, like everyone else should be free to do what they want if they are not harming people.

    I'm actually not sure there is actually widespread woke meltdown about this. There is only one subreddit r/Comicbooks that banned all mention of Eric and his work citing hate group? there's never been any official explanations of this stance by the mods. There's definitely some beef there for whatever reason.

    Tinman might be exaggerating the actual reaction to the comics.

    This is why his comic is being funded in record time , comic book fans want new stories and characters. Not making Superman gay

    right-wingers conveniently dismiss him as "Woke", as if being well-informed / well-read is bad,

    If these happened today they would be considered too woke to function:

    Heyzeus being smug to rich princes = woke.

    Scarface and Manolo describing Capitalism later in the film as 'getting fcked', when originally the film started with 'killing a communist just for fun.' =that's woke.

    Tim confronting his own racism and becoming a better man in Porky's. A movie that also dealt with physical abuse =woke. (just watched for the 1st time a week ago)

    Eartha Kitt lets the cat out of the bag @ the white house = Woke.

    Spock's speech on Fascism in the only Star Trek episode I like from the 1960s =woke

    The entire Twilight Zone= woke

    Night of the Living dead= woke
    Predator, Iran/contra =woke
    Predator 2 Global warming=woke
    My favorite, American Me= Woke.
    Here, Santana is very inclusive. He accepts a gringo as his own family. Big Happy isn't having any of it.
    Wokeness can backfire. Santana should have listened to Big Happy!


    Alien, female lead and cat owner= woke.
    Chapelle early 2000s= woke
    Eminem poking fun at being the best to steal black music since Elvis =woke
    Even being antiwoke is woke.

    Being socially Woke is a good thing and has been a part of Film/music/ new testament since St. Jerome started translating the bible.
    Why is it a big deal now?

    White people getting upset on behalf of other races that's annoying but it's a completely different thing, but it's deliberately blurred so that the social struggle view points lose effect.
