What was the woke movie(or TV show?) that flopped so those involved blamed the failure on the non-interested as being hateful bigots?

All of them. Right now it’s Velma on HBO I believe.

Hollywood has always made shitty movies.
Even in the 70s it was popular to identify as "native" and make "white man bad" films. Everything from Cher with "Half Breed" to Billy Jack and the sequels. Then in the 80s it was time for white guilt movie makers to elevate black people with a convenient "white man bad" villain to the point it became a staple of parody in films like Undercover Brother and Black Dynamite (both hilarious btw).
Some of it is motivated by the fact that everyone loves and underdog and wants to see anyone who is sincere but with fewer opportunities overcome hardship and succeed. The rest of it is a combination of self hatred of those who in their own hearts are inherently racist doing penance to remove the guilt and others who really do practice a preferred racism.
To me they are all irrelevant. Life is easy when you want it to be. I see someone in uniform with a CIB and blue cord, I don't care what else they are...they have my automatic respect until the demonstrate they are unworthy of it. By the same token I see somebody in a Che t shirt or other commie apparel, I don't care what else they are, they are shitbags.
Movies are just more of the same but easier, because you can find out what they are about without having to even watch them.

The Highlight of my Life, something I will never forget is going to see "Cowboys" with my Dad. Great movie and one of the Dukes last efforts.
My Dad was pretty salty a two tour paratrooper and all around "Knock Around Guy."
So were in the dark in the theatre and the duke is fighting Bruce Dern gets beat in a fight and gut shoots the Duke.
I looked over and the Old Man's eyes were leaking, I knew he was cool cause mine were too.

Life is a bell curve, right? There's always turds. But generally speaking, I'm not sure sure that many contemporary flicks will be in the same category at those in the 50s and 60s.

But also, only the classics get remembered. Nobody has seen the incredibly terrible films from the 1930s through the 70s because they are forgotten. We remember the good ones.
Think of the dozens and dozens of mindless surfing films that came out in the 50s. Try and name more than 5.

I didn't read this entire thread so sorry if I am redundant but Disney starting making Woke gender retarded movies with "Buzz light year" etc. kissing a man, and parents said hell no. And it has been the worse year in Disney history, so at least some people are walking away.
Dont fck with people kids.

Yeah, I’m a big fan of The Critical Drinker.
Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.
