The amount of gay men on this site that run to show how chronically online they are at the mere MENTION of the word woke is so funny

Woke backlash started before social media or even the internet took off but you thought you ate, so enjoy yourself I guess

He's right. Literally every other Netflix exclusive series is LGBTQIA centric even though less than 10% of the population identifies as LGBTQIA.

 

Also not necessarily connected, but the excess of Korean dramas on Netflix is weird as well. Squid Game was great, but that doesn't mean that we need 100s more series set in Korea. 

Literally what the hell is this

 

Netflix has been having korean dramas on their service for years. Just don't watch them if you don't want to watch them? What a strange thing to complain about.

The reason for the loss of Netflix subscribers is because they didn't fire Jamie Rat-lynn

He sounds more like trump every day, next he will try to become president

Well, "wokeness" isn't just about objectifying minorities. It also concerns politically correctness, cancel culture, virtue signalling, cultural appropriation and other nonsense. 

 

It's definitely a reality that's heavily influencing modern entertainement in general but I don't think it has anything to do with Netflix's decline.

This man just talks to hear himself talk, and he knows because he’s a billionaire, at least some people will always listen. That can literally be dangerous, too. Ugh.

The fact that simply being Korean is enough for you to describe something as "woke"   chile.

"Too woke" being a dog-whistle for too many minorities as usual

Oh no I wasn't saying that Korean = woke, I was just going on a tangent about something else regarding modern Netflix that annoys me.

That’s not what the comment meant. There’s too many Korean shows that nobody wants to watch and they are coming at the expense of other follow up seasons to shows that were unfairly shelved. Just look at the stats, these hundreds of Korean shows have the lowest viewership ever. While better shows were cancelled for some unfathomable reason. 
 

Also, gay representation isn’t a problem, it’s the fact that it’s poorly done and looks forced in nearly every show. LGBTQIA+ is also not even 5% of the entire population so stuff like that isn’t relatable or necessary to people, whether you like it or not. Most people like watching shows for immaculate acting and plots, not a SJW documentary. 
 

He’s a dick so his comments are definitely coming from homophobia and boomer-ism but Netflix’s poor choice for shows and cringy plots is why people are opting for other services.

Attempt to define the adjective woke, quickly. 

Incessant retaliation towards to the more privileged, especially straight white men(?)

 

Aggressively hostile if criticized over their ideals.

What Netflix shows are "criticizing the ideals of straight white men"? 

Someone above suggested there being Korean content was wokeism, so is simply not being straight, male and white an act of aggression of those who are?

I'm not saying Netflix themselves are the ones committing the "criticizing of the straight white men and their ideals", but I meant that I think that's the definition of those that like to call things "woke". Like an urban dictionary sort of definition, if that makes any sense. The post of yours I had replied to made me assume your post was asking for what those trolls, like Musk, meant when they use "woke" as a buzzword.

 

Spoiler

Sorry if this post makes no sense, I'm sleep deprived, on top of other things atm.

Straight white men getting offended because not everything is revolving around them

[brazil]

Yeah let's go back to all white straight  casts with sexist jokes like Seinfield.

K-dramas have been popular for years long before Squid Game and have massive popularity around the world. Not everything need to be set in US and UK either  Shows having LGBT characters doesn’t make them LGBT-centric either. Serving boomer energy.

Not when Korean cinema and TV is serving unmatched quality & talent - and there are several K-series even better than “Squid Game”.

 

In any case, why single Korea out? 

 

Trash take on both counts.
