Creators today are so hooked on the word "relatable" instead of focusing on making characters/words/stories "compelling".
As a 19 year old black man I got nothing in commonly with a 30 year old white cowboy (Arthur Morgan), yet I love him as a character because he is compelling. I don't watch/read or play entertainment media to see my life mirrored back at me. It's escapism. I get to be someone else, or be a part of someone else's journey, exist in a different world similar to my own but with different unique things going on. None that requires relatability as a foundation.
From my mind to your lips. Preach!!! also THIS!!! 100 times THIS!!!!
exactly, relatibility is VASTLY overrated and stories have suffered drastically as a result of it being put on a pedestal as the be-all end-all.
Well said. The problem we have are the many many frustrated losers in this world I think.
Those people cannot endure it anymore to *NOT* celebrate _"how much they are losers"_ and they want everything kinda to be about them.
So they make characters _"relatable"_ instead of compelling.
Trying to lower the bar about what it needs to be _"impressive"_ which is not the truth in the end.
In LotR we had the Hobbits for example.
Who are the most normals of the normies.
They live like countryside hippies to some degree.
And look even *_"one of them could carry the Ring and safe the world"._*
Which is not true.
Frodo could not do it because he was so amazingly unremarkable and free of greed, or desires or anything.
He could do it cause there was others, *impressive* and powerful people aiding him, who either spend their lifetime training the sh°t out of themself ( Legolas, Aragorn ) or were simply born in real power & might or fated for it ( Galadriel & Gandalf ).
Frodo is relatable. But he alone would not have been the answer.
Everything is needed.
*WINNERS* are needed to win. ;-)
People of amazing skills & mind.
Not whiny, frail autonormal normies who sink into suicidal depression at the prospect of their online connection being cut at any moment. ^_^
Not me. That's for sure. I literally oppose the focus on relatability.
Bravo sir.
Race and gender swapping isn’t remotely “imaginative” by now; it’s lazy and obligatory.
Pandering.
Agreed
It's literal cultural appropriation, last I checked that was wrong
@@quatreraberbawinner2628 agreed again. Seems ots only called that if your white.
It’s a mandate, one might say.
As a ginger I prefer the term, “chromatically challenged”.
Lol
On a similar note, "The Witcher" features a character by the name of Triss Merigold. In the books she has red hair and blue eyes, in the video games she also has red hair. In the TV series she has dark skin, eyes and hair. Why the war on redheads?
"As a person of ginger..."
🤣
In all seriousness, however, less than 2% of the global population has red hair. They're a minority within a minority. Red hair is beautiful, rare, and as a society, we should prize our red-haired brethren - not stand by as they're erased and replaced within our media.
Well, (I say sarcastically), if you aren’t personally red haired, then you have no validity and no right to speak about the red hair experience, even if you are being supportive and considerate. How dare you support the red hair cause!? That’s like…cultural appropriation er something. (I’m not red haired either, so I just say nothing until they come for me and whatever I am).
(I like what you said).👍
Similarly, green eyes are rare, again around 2% of the world population, though in Scotland and Ireland there are obviously more. So as a person of green eyes…….
Because they are a white minority. White minorities are hated by woke.
They're being replaced physically in the real world
My Mother is a red hair.. and when my Brother and I grow beards there some red hair there.. so that’s cool.. but seriously it is in bad faith all of this and what I hate is the laziness and arrogance there followed.. I wouldn’t mind a period piece with different minorities in use if you could tell a interesting story about it or more females in leading roles or different characters or stories it’s just as said the laziness and arrogance there is one of the problems..
They don't make these things for you to love them, the make them because they hate you. No one has to buy or consume their shit. Write, record, play and share your stories with the world and let them shake with rage.
The best advice is to just to avoid anything 'woke'. Don't give them the views, don't give them your money, these type of people are only going to get bailed out for so long.
It's psychological warfare. They don't care if you like it, these movies exist to brainwash you.
They have since the inception of cinema, it's only now that they are going into 7th gear that people notice
Amen and amen
@@beardedwolf628 Doesn't seem to be working if the hate these things generate are too much. Unless their true agenda is anti-wokeness.... I don't think what they are doing is even working.
@@Ozzie_Mandias It works alright, especially on people who think it doesn't. The themes and images of the movie go deep into your mind and create a false reality within your subconscious, the alter the way you percieve things.
Maybe it won't make you an extreme leftie, but it will alter your worldview and achieve something. Some details that your conscious mind missed, but are now embedded into you.
You have been programmed since childhood fren, and breaking the programming is extremely hard, I don't know if it can even be done.
I used to wonder, "Why not just create an new franchise with original characters who have the characteristics it's now fashionable to appreciate?" But then I realized that that's not the point. The point is to subvert existing franchises for propagandistic purposes and replace the traditional audiences for them with a new set of "right-thinking" adherents. All forms of entertainment can be used to promote a political agenda in this way. If they are actually entertaining, and the propaganda is subtle, it's an effective way to influence audiences' attitudes and opinions. Gradualism works. But the current woke offerings are ham-fisted and inauthentic, very much like theatre in the Stalinist and Maoist regimes, so they end up losing the old audience without really engaging the interest and imagination of a new one. People do recognize bad art, if only subconsciously, so the good news is that this era can't last very long. All but a few will just tune it out until no one sees the point in making it anymore.
Correct, I used to think the same thing. It is now very obvious that the objective is not to create anything new, but instead to simply destroy what existed before.
@@randyjones3050 remember: Evil cannot create. It's sole purpose is to corrupt and destroy everything it touches.
Can’t wait for the Critical Drinker/Dave Cullen stream that’s definitely happening in the future.
The "Ginger Beer" stream?
@@inspector2363 I'll drink to that
@@darrengordon-hill I’ll drink to anything
That would be amazing!
Unlike STD and Dark Fate that is the fanfic we need
Black people wouldn't be "excluded from lead roles" in period dramas if they made the period dramas about black cultures. Simple solution. But since Britain was always predominantly white, that's why most period dramas are about white people.
👏👏👏 Exactly.
Its funny, they are so extreme about black washing history that had few black people, Yet absolutely REFUSE to do movies and shows based on the extremely rich and interesting history of Africa. Unless of course its something that makes then out to be a futuristic race of big brains.
Can you imagine if they had to make an historical accurate period dramas with black people in it... wearing grass skirts and being barely out of the stone age.
It would be deemed racist and people would lose their jobs... despite the fact nothing but the truth was shown.
Theyre attempting to rewrite history because they don't like what happened.
Up next my attempt to change last week's football results because I didn't like what happened... People would call me spoiled and delusional
Black Anne Boleyn was a major facepalm
@@garethbattersby that would be akin to only depicting white historic culture as lioncloth wearing caveman. Historically accurate but not encompassing of all white history, no? Same for African historic cultures
As I stated before: This is rewriting of history.
NAH its a bootleg its didnt rewrite history its a copy from a history and changed it
And demoralizing the men of the present. It won’t work.
@@suzygirl1843 Consequences? What you’ll take over and fail miserably? No one is colonizing you.

As a person of Ginger.............. I love it. Seriously what's up with the purging of Gingers lately?
Also this woke nonsense is why I've started exploring the films and TV series from prior decades. Recently I've gotten into watching film noirs from the 40's and 50's. Forget streaming services which can be victims of Soviet revisionism........... being updated to comply with modern standards, buy DVD's and Blue Rays.
gingers are descendents of an old civilization wich has been wiped out a couple of centuries ago.
look up mudfloods and tartaria.
Another big one that’s coming up is Amazon’s *The Wheel of Time.* When Robert Jordan wrote the series, he was very clear on how the characters looked, and you see that on the book covers. Look at their casting; there are very few accurately cast characters, and they decided to make a female support the main character.
It's the like the up an coming MCU movie "The Eternals", they gender or race swapped over half of group smh.
The grave is no bar to my cash in.
- matrim cauthon, probably.
Same for Terry Pratchett and the adaptation of "the watch".
@@themoxcast so disappointed the bbc tried to turn it into something its not. Will have to hatewatch it!
This one is going to hurt me. Wheel of Time is my all time favorite. I remember picking up the first Book when I was still in Middle school and it became a lifelong journey all the way to the end after Jordan's Death and Brandon Sanderson finishing it. Now, it's going to be ruined and what's worse...There are those who claim to love the series that will bend their backs to say how amazing this show is because it fits their politics.
Remember the late 90's when we would get a sitcom for every race? There was a time when it was common knowledge that we had very different cultures. Now having a different culture is not allowed and i am reminded of the old adage "What a boring world it would be if everyone was just like you."
Big ups Steve Urkel
I remember because as a kid I watched many of them, The Jefferson’s, Sanford and Son, Good Times and I am a white person. What those shows had were great actors/comedians, good writers and the balls to not care about stereotypes.
@@jeffpadilla9891 Red Foxx was actually funny so that's why one of those shows is tolerable. He hated all immigrants in that show.
@@jeffpadilla9891 I'm a 47 year-old white guy. I watched all of those same shows. My name starts with a J, so some of my elementary school friends used to call me JJ Evan's. I guess that they were forcing cultural appropriation on me. Anyway.... DYN-O-MITE!!!!
It ok to have your own culture only as long as your not white
Zendaya is the epitome of Hollywood's casting policy. An activist with no talent, no charisma, just someone who's there because she ticks the right boxes. The product of pure tokenism.
The best is after the Met Gala hearing everyone talk about how beautiful she is. I wouldn't give her a second look on the subway if I saw her on my commute.
@@Big_Denney Yes it's tiresome how the MSM portrays her as someone "special". Same they did with Lilly Singh as "funny". As I said Zendaya isn't even an average actress and indeed I wouldn't give her a second look either.
@@frankam3443 Yet, I worry that they cast her in an EPIC movie remake: DUNE... I don't think she has the acting chops to carry that role, and her stature is far from being typical of a desert warrior that can kill armed and armored men in hand-to-hand combat... ( I mean, yeah, they cast Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, and John Rhys-Davies as Gimli, but this girl is a twig!)
@@scottcrawford3745 The director mentioned that she audited to get a role in the film, I doubt she was the best qualified. There's a reason (thankfully) she doesn't have many lines on the film, at least for now.
@@frankam3443 There has been some talk of making the second-half of the movie more like a biography about Paul from Chani's perspective...which terrifies me.
But I will not Fear. Fear is the mind-killer...
Hype is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face the Hype. i will permit it to pass over me and through me...
What would have been so wrong if they just decided to do a proper Doctor Who spin off with his daughter River Song? She is her own character. She is original and pre established.
um River is his wife not his daughter.
Talking about this kinda stuff among family members, even my mother is saying she's getting sick of women.
@Projekt Kobra Lol, you mean the ones with the obligatory mixed-race couple, usually with either a sassy kid or woman to put the bloke down, and for extra brownie points, one character is gay or trans?! The earnest attempts at box-ticking are hilariously obvious.
For those that didnt knew:
Indiana Jones will be de-manlinized
and made be incompetent,
so the Story 'has to' replace him with a Girl.
This girl of course is not incompetent and a Loser like
we all know Indiana Jones to be... she will be perfect... she can do Everything...

@@slainemccool2875 is that really a problem? Diversity is good i just hate revisionist history or race changes. Hating original black characters just existing makes you sound racist.

"Tiny"?

@@loturzelrestaurant Many of the cuts go unnoticed. They started in the 60s and were imperceptible to many people. As the Marxists attain higher and higher positions in institutions they make bigger cuts.
I love red hair & freckles!!! It’s beautiful to me. My son had a few red hairs as his grandmother is a strawberry blonde. I’ve never understood why being ginger was looked down on at times.
It's not even fictional characters anymore. Didn't they just race swap Ann Boleyn, a real life historical person?
Yup. And apparently if you have an issue with that you are racist. If you swapped it and had MLK as a white actor people would rightly throw a fit. Seems like tokenism and a double standard
@@madeleine5561 I'd like to see a MLK, Jr. bio pic with Elliott Page as the lead.
James Bond seems to be going the same way. Not only were they talking up Nomi as the possible next 007, but the recent character profiles demonstrate how unaware these new actresses are. Lyshanna Lynch thinks she's reinventing the wheel for women in Bond when strong women have been in the Bond franchise for decades. Nomi will likely be forgettable and too on the nose. Not to mention Bond seems to be getting cucked in several scenes in his own movie. Like when he's riding behind her on a motorcycle (so long the days where Bond and Wai Lin fought to get control of a motorcycle) and her being magically able to operate an aerial vehicle she admits to having no experience flying whilst Bond sits in the back like a good boy.
@JoleFinDead right. I wouldn't watch woke rubbish.
I would not mind Idris Elba playing a modern James Bond. He is a fine British Actor and has his own charm and suave that would fit the role. Though he is black, but he would absolutely kill in the role.
@@thatguy3421 That's the only exception I'd make. I wouldn't mind them retconning Bond's origins a little for him a little to fit him being black.
@@tcaudiobooks737 I'm unfortunately making peace that Bond, like these other franchises, will be dead and buried soon. Not literally. But they just won't be the same franchise. Idealogues in the entertainment industry have seen to that. I'll be watching the past Bond films, as well as past Doctor Who and Star Trek. The shows these days are just corpses pretending to be the genuine article.
This cucking began in the original Xmen movie. No man shall pilot the jet.
One day when the world turns - and it will - society will look back at these times with horror, and some hilarity at all the nonsense.
i hope you are correct
Well communism fails Every. Single. Time. so yes ... there will be a time of rueful head-shaking and 'never again'.
Years after all the commie book-burning, snitching, civil unrest, starvation and mass-murder has settled down of course.
not likely. Once a role goes to a minority, it's demanded it STAY that way. Look at new She Ra, she was retconned into a lesbian teenager and now as a live action series of She Ra has been announced, that fandom insist that THEIR version of She Ra be the live action version. Wait....she was not originally a lesbian teenager but now she is ONLY supposed to be that way!? And with doctor who, watch the media go into seizures that The Doctor is ever changed into a man when he was "born" a woman and is currently a woman. The headlines will be "BBC caves to misogynistic trolls!" The same thing happens in comics where substitutes for main characters get a replaced, then some fans and comic media get upset when the original comes back and pushes "away" the diversity hire....
@@jamesneese7663 The screechers don't even watch these shows. They don't work so they cant afford them and they are unable to comprehend the original concepts of the culture they are trying to twist. Moreover they re not even that interested in sci-fi. All they understand is man-bad, woman-good.

Interesting how Japan doesn't have this problem. They just sipping their tea like "glad that's not my problem"

Force is female, God is female...it's petty narcissism
Well, it would explain why it can't make up it's mind whether to support the dark side or the light side. Of course, now I have to wonder if the Force has a week of emotional problems each month or not. Hmmm.
The farce is female!
@@lonetemplar1748 ok that made me laugh out loud 😆
Unless something is an evolved biological system that perpetuates itself through time by the recombination of genetic material from multiple morphs ... it ain't got sex. The force...? Even if you want to say that the midichlorians ARE the force, and they track female lineage like mitochondria (and that's a massive stretch) it simply makes no sense to use sex as a model to describe the Force. Evolved? Nope. Biological? Nope. Genetic material? Nope. Multiple individuals? Nope. Different morphs within a species? Nope.
When people say stuff like "I never had a character that looks like me/that I could identify with because they did not look me when I was growing up". I feel bad for not that is it sad. But pathetically sad because you have so little self worth that you need a character cartoon to look like you.
As a fellow redhead, I really appreciate you pointing out this ousting of all these redhead portrayals
Also in the Witcher, Triss a redhead was also removed.
Don't even go there.
Handsome Foltest comes to mind...
They're allergic to source materials. The more faithful it gets, the severe the allergies become.
Yeah, this mere fact repulsed me so much that I will never watch this show. Triss is a >>hot

They can't even do their version of racism right.
Race and gender aside, I think it's a very dangerous precedent they're setting now whereby modern culture takes a character someone created and decides to change this element or that. We're all used to movie adaptations where they take liberties, like Sherlock Holmes, but it is "sheer fucking hubris" to think that the character Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created was just a partially completed template for you to modify as you see fit. Modern producers and audiences seem to think these classics are choose your own adventure books, where you can modify it to suit yourself. No, the creator didn't create 50% of a character, they created 100%, and if that doesn't fit with someone in 2021 then they are free to find something else that does, or create their own original work. It's becoming a real problem, with folk genuinely thinking it's ok to say "why can't James Bond be black etc."
I agree although these things don't matter in the end we should still put our foot down and tell these people NO! Cause if we don't they WILL get bolder about what they change. I've got a friend I tried talking to about stuff like this but he just said "Eh I don't care if they want to change a character let them, if they want to be idiots let them. As long as the movie quality is good I'll watch it" I'm not sure what to tell him, honestly yeah if the movie is enjoyable to you that's fine it's the subtext, the message that's being pushed that I can't stand and want to fight against. any help or advise anyone?
Regarding Sherlock Homes, "Elementary" was laughably bad
they want to create the illusion in poorly educated young ppl that our society has always been racially diverse ; when in fact it was not until after ww2 and then only for the past 30 years perhaps with anything like the numbers we have now. for UK.. pathetic attempts by the BBC to show the ROMANS as black was hilarious but also sinister. the agenda is for open borders, "#refugeeswelcome etc where we wake up one day and find ourselves a minority in our own native lands. watch tv adverts and see how black actors have taken them over. its virtually every ad now with black as primary cast .
yeah it's not like it hasnt been done for centuries in all aspects of society.
this way, over time, people will not recognize what some symbols mean.
i mean, the kundalini snake in medical orders, the pinecone at the vatican, the cube present in all major religions, apollyon's laurels in istitutional logos, and many many more.
history has been changed/erased so many times people do not even question anymore why there is stuff like a huge statue of Shiva, the god of destruction, at cern, and why they performed that creepy ritual dance in a supposed scientific facility.
or how the most accepted scientific dogma, heliocentrism, has been created by a jesuit priest of the vatican, named george lamatre.
but yeah, it's all just conspiracy stuff....
@@coling3957 I will argue your point. Some romans were black, but a pitiful minority. Some could become nobles or knights but never far up the hierarchy.
Doctor Who already had not one, but two interesting, strong female Time Lords. Romana and the Rani. Missy could even be counted in that as well.
Great video, its good to see people talking about this.
Another point I like to bring up is how they always have to recast existing characters, rather than actually puting in the effort to write original characters. Shows how bad most of the writers behind these shows must be if this is all they can do.
As an amatuer writer myself, I've written characters who are female or non-white, as well as both, and it's not even hard to do. You just need some creativity in you, something these writers clearly don't have.
Imagine the fury on Twitter if a company announced it was making a biopic of the life of Nelson Mandela - and had cast Peter Dinklage to play him. Or a biopic about the life of Oprah and they'd cast Emma Thompson to play her. Or a drama about Jay-Z and Beyonce with Kevin Costner and Scarlett Johansson in the lead roles - the 'Progressives' would have a stroke. But casting a black actress in the role of Ann Boleyn or making 'woke' history shows for kids showing how the Picts were mixed-race or medieval England had black nobles - that's stunning and brave and better represents society (of TODAY not THEN) - riiigghhhttttt......
If you want to see how hypocritical it all is, picture this.
They take Thelma and Louise and replace them with Thomas and Louis. Two caucasian heterosexual men who decide to walk out on their families to drive around in a car.
Watch the sparks fly.
According to the BBC, Britain has had a Black Community making up 1/3 of the population for thousands of years.
I must say, I would make an effort to watch a Peter Dinklage helmed Mandela biopic. Sounds great.
@@countofdownable I don't think the black community even made 1/30 of the population in Britain for the longest time. Even now I doubt it's higher than 1/10.

I admire the courage of The Dave Cullen Show ! ! !
You need a lot of courage to raise such topics on the Internet. I have recently been brutally attacked by the author (by a woman with very left-wing views - I am not judging, but just presenting who this person was) of the analyzes of James Bond films only for trying to explain (in comments under her video in youtube) that society treated African Americans differently than whites in the 1970s, and not everyone considered it wrong (in the sense that they did not feel that African American status should be equal to, not inferior to, white Americans - or to say it better they just did not understand what equality should really mean). For just explaining this, I was brutally attacked and labeled a racist. Hence ... HUGE WORDS OF RECOGNITION FOR ADDRESSING SUCH A SUBJECT ON THE INTERNET. THE DAVE CULLEN SHOW YOU ARE BRAVE MAN ! ! !

@Quez A good point well made. It's interesting that "the Woke" are always associated with the left when they exhibit such authoritarian behaviour.
I hate the new acronyms, BAME? It’s inherently racist in its woke hierarchy, same as BIPOC. Makes me sick
Doctor Who had multiple "strong" women characters. Sarah Jane (who got her own successful show), Martha Jones, heck I'd argue that Clara Oswald was definitely a strong female character. She 'saved' the Doctor on multiple occasions and he wouldn't be who he is today without her. They even had an amazing LGBTQ+ character (done right) with Captain Jack (who also got his own successful show).
All these claims about being "diverse" for the first time is just bullshit and everyone knows it. It's the CRT version of diversity.
like Daniel Craig has said about 007 and women, there are BETTER roles for women to play in Hollywood. I actually like Jodie as the Doctor, but the show itself has never really been supremely sexist- The Doctor gives up the Presidency to Flavia ,was an equal to Ramona and a rival to the Rani. It's about writing good STORIES that is the key, but the woke generation doesn't like good stories, it seems.
By all means, people write a female sci-fi character who goes around time and space. Just don't call her the Doctor and claim you're doing it for the women.
Can you please give me a notification when dr who is a charismatic, masculine, problem solving man again.
Ooooh, I have some bad news for you....
Thor, James Bond, Indiana Jones, Hulk, they are all being replaced by women. Wtf? And I'm sure there are more coming.
What?? Oh that'll be a disaster! I'm a woman and I love being one but I hate all this. It's an insult to my intelligence to expect me to believe these slips of girls can batter grown men and do all the things male heroes can do! It's patronising and it puts me right off!
And so soooo many more ruined characters.
Hawkeye, Iron Man, Black Panther. Add them to the list.
@@notamused3715 you can blame your screaming feminist colleagues and their equally annoying male 'allies'. We all know these replacements will only be poor imitations of the male original characters.

Love how critics of all white historical dramas conveniently forget that Morgan-fucking-Freeman (absolute legend) played the lead role in an Old Western adaptation of Taming of the Shrew. You can add colour to casts and pull on minority backgrounds and upbringings, just make it good. Don't preach.
I can cope with the odd bit of race or gender swapping if by some miracle it's well done (and the character is fictional - black Anne Boleyn ffs? No way!), and I'm happy with a strong female lead, if the character isn't just a perfect Mary Sue (Buffy and Xena were my heroines, back in the day), but if I'm honest, as a woman, I really want an interesting (and preferably hot) male lead, who isn't undermined or ridiculed by his female co-stars, who isn't picked solely for his skin tone and who can act well enough to keep me involved with the story. I'm probably being old-fashioned or dare I say it, even sexist, but is that too much to ask?!!
Actually Time Lords couldn't change sex until the 2011 episode The Doctor's Wife.
“ filmmakers have become increasingly more imaginative” ...basically a euphemism for dishonest and lying about history”!
Erase one's history and replace it with lies, and he can no longer find pride in his ancestors and their values, and will live his life in shame for he does not know of his proud heritage.
Man, I've been saying EXACTLY THIS, for the past few years now. I've actually lost friends over it, but I don't really mind losing "that kind of friends"... The truth is the truth, no matter how much it hurts.
It's Cultural Maoism. Calling this Marxist crap for what it is.
Exactly 👍🏻🇦🇺

Ya know, period dramas could easily have lead roles of any race you could imagine - just tell stories from different parts of the world.
Think about why they don't do that. It's not about representation, it's about destroying and undermining white identity
The thing is this....it's not the same because there are few ethnic equivalents to Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones or Downton Abbey. Even more importantly, minorities don't often/always flock to a show/series JUST because it's "minority". A lot of comic books try to go all LBGTQUIA+ but they often fail because most LBGTQUIA+ are not interested in comics. Anyone really think most minority ppl are really interested in period dramas? But take a major successful property that ppl ALREADY access - like Harry Potter - and THEN make "changes"'; it will still have success because most ppl will just swallow the changes than give it up JUST because - for example - Hermanie role is race changed, or the creator is labeled "transphobic"
That's not the point though. And that's the thing people who praise this bs don't get. I'm not proud, validated or interested when they force a black character into a non-black role, especially in a story where black people wouldn't have existed. A character having the same skin as me isn't enough to make me like or care for them. If they stand out oddly, I'd spend my time trying to figure out how they exist where they do because having a dark skin person in a story set on a planet with little sunlight will make me wonder what is making their skin dark? Why are they not dead? Why are they not sickly? Putting a race of ginger folk on a planet with a lot of sunlight will make me ask the same things.
I've always found it weird people complained of no black folks being in stuff like Lord of the Rings because it's like complaining no black folks are in the Journey to the West.
When they do this race swap thing it feels insulting more than anything else.
That would be reasonable and logical, two things the 'foaming at the mouth' woke crowd is rarely, if ever!
The trend of taking classic, beloved characters and replacing them with women or persons of colour has begun.
And it's clearly not working if Ghostbusters 2016 and Doctor Who are anything to go by.
It wasn’t even possible for timelords to change their gender originally. They did that just a season or two before the female doctor to set it up.
It is not just a reflectiom. It is propaganda, to break our morale and accept the downfall.
I can only say, its painful to watch new shows.
Fact is, I cancelled Netflix because of this, and what happened was they tried to lure me with the junk that made me cancel in the first place.
The idea of dismissing our treasures for politics is a sad byproduct of communist take overs.
I love Karate, and the origins are completely relevant... Karate originated in the island of Okinawa. They had very close ties with China... But then China was overtaken by their current Communist regime, martial arts schools were heavily oppressed, some of the masters were killed, some went into hiding others left,.. To Okinawa.
Likewise, I find Russian Futurism fascinating. Music that emulates all the excitement of the first impressions of the industrial revolution. It has hefty dissonance, complex arrangements and is often very intense. When Stalin rose to power, that music was banned. Much of it was destroyed, many composers were murdered and those left had to accept the regimes requirements. All music was dumbed down as much as possible (just like those woke garbage series, which could hardly be any stupider), and like China, and Nazi Germany, forced to become mere propaganda.
As usual, Marxism enshrined mediocrity in a no holds barred race to the bottom.
Luckily, Ive found a few actors and creators have turned their back,to this propaganda machine. They make low budget shorts (which if you think about it, gives them access to better equipment than was available to Twilight Zone, so it should be more than enough) And at least for the moment, this kind of material can be seen here and there
Thank you for your excellent work! Seriously, big fan (though usually watch on bitchute, nothing like freedom of speech)
I cancelled Netflix 6 years ago. The writings been on the wall for a long time.
Good write-up.
Hi can you share some of those shorts?
Netflix is evil
@@default_doppelganger although I agree with you, I did think at some point they were fostering upcoming studios and freespeech.
I can't help but look back at my naivity with a bit of fondness ...
It would have been nice but hey, I mean, then Id have to leave milk and cookies next to the chimney for Netflix's CEO. Yeah its rather sad what the truth is, which is why most people refuse to see it and choose to be a victim instead (which is actually much sadder)
As someone who has a soft spot for redheads, I feel your pain, bro
Actually, there’s a rumor with strong evidence in the 8th Doctor Audio series and some leaks years ago, leading up to McGann’s last appearance in “Night of The Doctor”, that there WAS a plan that got scraped halfway through the Capaldi phase, that would have had the Doctor FINALLY become the Valleyard, and SUSAN would return, played by the original actress, one last time, before being tragically “killed” by her grandfather’s new, overwhelmingly sociopathic persona, and regenerate into a NEW Susan who would then take her grandfather’s place as “The Doctor” in a quest to stop his evil and turn him back into his good self. But by the time they would have been building up to it, the latest lunatics to run the BBC decided this plan wasn’t “woke” enough, so, screw the fans, screw 30 years of continuity.
In Dr Who, Riversong was loved by many, and is a very strong female character-many would have watched a series of her adventures (which could have taken place during her lifetime).. Similar for missy.
shit, all they needed to do was make a spin off with "jenny" the clone. aka the doctors daughter. it was already perfectly setup, save for not having THE "tardis" which could easily be corrected by having the original doctor potentially 'retire' in what should have been his final transformation. but instead they had to extend his reincarnation cycle again by 2? doctor forms this time? it was a stupid move that ruined dr who for a lot of people, not because the doctor was even made a woman but because they are breaking their own cohesiveness of the world to implement feminazi mentality into it.
There is Romana too. They could have done a spinoff with her similar to the Sarah Jane adventures.
Big Finish gave Romana the lead role, with badass warrior lady Leela as a major supporting character.
They did a spin-off of the Sarah Jane adventures years ago. Never watched it since women disgust and irritate the hell out of me.
River Song and Mistress were blights on the series. Alex Kingston can't act for toffee; there was no meaningful difference between her River Song and her version of Moll Flanders. The she-Master was just some hammy local rep theatre actress doing a schizo version of Mary Poppins.
Doctor Who was coughing blood before Whitaker was ever cast.
TV is a mess at the moment. I don't watch anything on TV anymore. Just old favourites, which is completely insane, given there is more on TV than ever before. There is nothing but crap on TV now. After I finish Lucifer this week, there isn't a single TV show I am waiting for next season.
@@ShotingStorm I'll check it out, thanks for the tip.
Great video, Dave! Keep up!
There is a strong female character the producers could have been given a show: Romana.
I just don't understand why they can't just make their own shows rather than changing existing ones.
Because they're lazy and talentless and know, that whatever they'd make would be a failure.
Money. It's less of a risk to try something different with an established franchise with a built in audience rather than building something from scratch. It's irresponsibily risky to invest in something that isn't a sure thing if a sure thing is one of the presented options. At that point, working within an established franchise allows executives to push agendas with promises of greater success, and if the higher ups deny those changes, they get tarred and feathered. It's all moral terrorism.
@@Mihomiti that’s true. My comment was mostly rhetorical. Fucking hate this timeline we’re on.
Satan cannot create, only imitate.
It is easier to race swap or recast gender than it is to write a good story. The same can be said for relying on over-the-top CGI effects with displays of entire cities flipping over and collapsing inward rather than character development.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? It took place with four characters in a living room. Skillful writing, storytelling, and dialogue. not a gaggle of McWriters sitting at the table pressing the menu button: One gay lead, One POC. Supersize that, please. One twist of lesbian love scene added to shock the jaded audience.
For those that didnt knew:
Indiana Jones will be de-manlinized
and made be incompetent,
so the Story 'has to' replace him with a Girl.
The first mention of Time Lords changing sex is the the story The Doctor's Wife. Nothing in the rest of the show's long history before that says one word about it.
I've been reminded once again lately why I love Star Trek so much, and why I hate so much what they've done to it. This applies to so many stories, characters, even individual themes of movies that influenced my life. They're just not accepted anymore. In fact, it's all being actively looked down on, if not outright demonized by modern media.
the reason for redhead erasure is what's the anagram of ginger
Well that explains why the Irish use to be seen as none white.
That’s awful. Maybe you should get a job as a writer.
@@GreatHornedCynic it's not my idea I found out like 2 or 3 months ago I think in a just some guy video comments. with how absolutely asleep the woke are it wouldn't surprise me if that's the justification for more of them than not
Let me turn your attention to the recasting of Guinevere in Merlin.
She was hot though. I’m fine with that one.
In all seriousness, though, there were black people in Medieval Europe, just not as often as there are today. Many of them were travelers and such, but some would’ve stayed by nature of probability. As I recall, the Dutch were significantly more ethnically diverse than most of the rest of Europe, but presumably there would’ve been some black people in England too. There’s even a black Knight of the Round Table - Sir Morien. He didn’t appear in the show, but he was a part of the legend. Shakespeare’s Othello character was also black.
@@willieearles3151 excellent, but the issue here is the rewrite of history and established lore for the sake of being diverse
Soul privilige got me so hard that alone is a thumbs up, also the video as a whole is very good!
The Doctor is one where I half agreed with you. If it had not been used to create constant political plotlines, but instead been used as a twist around getting past the original limitation on regenerations, a consequence of going beyond the limit I thought it would have worked. In fact, the first female doctor could have had a running plotline of the Doctor adapting to a female body.
That's why the female Doctor makes me so mad. It could have been a fun and creative choice to jump a limitation the character has had for decades (the regeneration limit) but instead was just a lazy wokefest.
5:25 - No Dave, Britain wasn't "much less diverse" it was around 99.99% White pre-1948 Windrush invasion. There was no Diversity here, we were a safe peaceful ethnostate.
"safe peaceful ethnostate" for some reason made me think of Wakanda lol
Britain was savage as sh°t. :D
BRAVEHEARD, LoL.
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOM ^_^
When Britain started WW2 it actually was a peaceful? LOL
@Mike Seork well, BE declared war on Germany together with France, didn't?
safe? peaceful? just what are you on about?
I changed my preferences on entertainment from made in Hollywood shows and movies to foreign ones... Russians and Europeans are making better shows and movies, than Americans these days, specially the Turks.
It's funny, Turkish TV and movies have become pretty popular in Latin America and Spain in the past few years. And some are very good, so yeah, I agree.
You deserve a bigger following. I wonder if you realize just how many people you speak for. Well done.
I mean hell. They made Achilles and Zeus to be black in the recent Troy BBC show. Ah, but they are fictitious you may say. Well, you know the next step is a Alexander The Great film with a black actor playing the role. What excuse will there be then? Me and my people (Greek Macedonian) will be called racists and told to shut up when this happens and we cry out against this. The West is finished.
Thanks Dave, and you definitely have more soul than many!
It's been great to see you posting, even a little bit, here again. Poignant too. Not bad for a soulless ginger. ;)
If this is representative of the modern culture, I'll happily stay averse of it and continue reading Berserk and Invincible. All these new leads are so empowered that it strips them of humanity. How am I supposed to cheer for their victories and watch them struggle against genuine tribulations, and perhaps even grow into better people, when the plots are so vapid and insecure?
Dave , you have one of the best takes on Star Trek. I am also a Star Trek, Tolkien and Star Wars. I saw you on Drinkers channel with Platoon and Mauler as the resident Trek expert. 😎🎸
Welp, time to make a reboot of the Dave Cullen show, presented by a black lesbian woman.
Diversity is not a strength.
The era of wokness will soon come to an end once every woke company goes broke.
Speaking of period productions, Anne Boleyn is being race swapped in a miniseries. Sigh
There was a time when there used to just be female characters not “strong female leads”. Terminator being a great example. The first film in the franchise had a female main character lol.
Aliens as well.
not only that, Sarah Connor maintains her status throughout the movies as well as the spinoff Sarah Connor Chronicles. All without being a terminator, a cyborg, time traveller and needing to be ethnic. She's the real shotgun mama.
You forgot Bill and Ted. In the last film 30 years ago, they had sons Little Bill and Little Ted. But they retconned them to have always been girls. On top of that, if you looked at the future, there was no white men on the high earth council. All women and one black man. And, instead of Bill and Ted being the chosen two to save the earth as established in the first two films, it turns out it was their daughters. Despite the fact we saw holograms of them in the future clearly showing Bill and Ted as being the ones who were the chosen two, not their daughters. It clearly is a sin now to be a white man who is straight.
From what I can tell, whoever writes these shows and movies feel like high school fanfic writers, usually girls, who have very specific tastes and writes fanfics that most people wouldn't care for and now they get hired into positions of power and they are abusing it to serve their fetish.
Smart people (10%): This is the subtext of the movie in question and this is the agenda it's meant to serve.
Stupid people (40%): It's just entertainment. Why do you have to think so much?
Really stoopid people (50%): Huh? Say what? Stinkin thinkin!
I’m a red head. I feel your pain as I’ve also noticed this switching trend
When I start work on my project, I'll be sure to have the best, most awesome Redhead imaginable!
Justice and Rep for Gingers!!!!
Try being a university student these days!!!!!!!! They are obsessed with woke ideology, mostly Arts students who do 2 or 3 lectures a week, and lots of free time to "do stuff".
"Do stuff"="Drugs" The inevitable reference to the lefts infatuation with addictive substances.
Spot on, true and highly predictable
it was funny when I saw two guys, stoned out of their heads, slumped on the Freshers Fayre table with the club name "Socialist Anarchist Club". Is there any wonder the UK keeps electing pseudo-Nazis into power?
Herbert Marcuse's essay titled "Repressive Tolerance" explains everything...
Really appreciated to hear plain speak, not racist, not sexist, just calling out the book burners.
They had the perfect characters for an female led series in Doctor who universe. Me (the viking), Clara and the Doctors daughter (more recent one). They have a Tardis in shape of diner. That would have worked. How well it did would be up to show runner, actors, etc. They could have done crossovers. All canon. It could have been good. Oh well.
the Paternoster gang (two lesbians ,one of which is an alien, plus a Sontaran butler) was pretty cool. River Song was great, Clara was hot and great, the secret Caribbean version of the First Doctor was great. There could be a storyline where genetic males are frozen in a forcefield with only the Sontaran butler and the Daleks left unaffected because they are sexless creatures.
but alas, creativity is lost.
We had these politicised films here where I live, in the 70'ties, and in general called 70'ties films, political garbage, just as bad and embarrassing today as then decades ago, our 70'ties films was 'woke' as woke films are political correct today, and will be embarrassing stupid garbage today as they will be in decades into the future, unfortunately this wokeness will destroy a whole industry forever, there is no return to quality workmanship again, but at least, I save a bunch of money, so it is not all bad
What country are you from? I'm curious now.
@@ratboyraticus9896 - Norway, we had communists dominating the culture everywhere, like in most parts of the western world I guess, and they produced tons of the Soviet inspired 'sosial-realism' garbage, I remember I was only some 11 or 12 years old and fed that propaganda in school and I despised it, even today people laugh when we talk about films made in that time
If they keep this up it will be funny to see how they depict "current" historical figures in the future. 100 years from now will they portray Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Donald Trump with Asian, Latino or African actors ?🤔... 😂😂😂
*NUFF SAID"™*
You mean like how Europeans did with blonde and blue eye Jesus? 🤔
@@mbogucki1 Would Pilate not kill a black who rambled in Hebrew? The Romans were seriously militant and brutal. I'm guessing Jesus looked more like Caesar or Nero than Hebrewood tells you. Egypt had Europeans types ruling. Ancient Greece even thought the Hebrews were racially similar. The Arabs thought Jesus was white.... Islam had a white Jesus. Please Hebrewood.... Make a film depicting Mohammad as black. There might be a final Jihad. When you have an old coin with a ruler in good shape.... he's obviously coined himself as white. I'm guessing he was white. When Caligula got upset at the tribe saying they were against nature and Rome.... He built a statue of himself in their temple while Herod laughed. All of north Africa was once white. Rhodesia and South Africa were great for a reason. The Talmud claims Jesus was a Roman. Who hated Rome most?
@@mbogucki1 Everybody did that with Jesus...starting 2000 years ago.
We're talking right now, so your passive-aggressive, deniable little apologia--er, 'comeback' indicts everybody, whereas the current one-way mania for race-swapping only indicts the Hard Left and all their useful idiots, drones, and lightweights who don't see what the problem is. Which category you fit into.......
This is what I've been thinking for some time, particularly about Doctor Who. If whitewashing is regarded as offensive and racist, then replacing the Doctor (who is a male character) with a woman is offensive and sexist.
A black friend of mine started laughing like crazy when he saw the new Anne Boleyn trailer... even he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
You forgot to mention the mega woke tv series The Equalizer!
This is why I no longer support tv or movies. I read more now.
I gave up on modern tv/movies a while ago unfortunately(except some gems like dark). the good part is now im discovering all the movies from the 50s-60s-70's that i never gave a chance to which are like breathes of fresh air.
Hell in the end even Bill and Ted didn’t write the song that united all people and bettered the planet. It was changed to their daughters.
check your soul privilege, lol! good one :)
I tell you I agree with this guy so much it's actually kind of scary. Also I love redheads, to me they were always for more unique as opposed to brunettes and blondes. Here's to hoping I'll end up with one in the future😏🥰😁
Spot on and brilliant as ever. It gets worse: Flight of The Navigator is to be remade with a girl replacing the boy. Why? All so dishonest and disrespectful to the original writers, cast and fans. The solution to this if you're a parent is to download or buy on DVD the originals of the pre-woke TV shows and movies. Show your kids those and ban them from contemporary wokery.

You know what period dramas would be interesting to me? Ones involving Asian history, or Middle Eastern history. I'm quite enjoying The Kingdom on Netflix (Walking Dead meets vaguely Eastern society). More of that would be great.
Tell people new stories with whatever actors best fit.
New stories would require creativity and work, and also don't come with a built in audience that you can exploit and eventually blame when it fails.
I would love to see a new epic film or series about the Japanese Period of The Country At War (Oda Nobunaga, Hydeyoshi Toyatomi, Tokugawai Ieyasu) or about the feud between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. Almost no whites would be involved or black, just Asians. A truly underrated minority. As opposed to Blacks who are ridiculously over represented right now.
@@Narof321 true. But they aren't really "new" stories. Merely new to a western audience. Arguably, they could come with a built-in audience, if you carefully chose your source material.
