Celebrities you are dissapointed got 'woke'
 

So, I enjoy Mystery Science Theater 3,000.

I like it's goofiness. I like that they clearly arn't trying too hard,while still wanting to put out a good product. and it makes me laugh.

But it's pretty clear that most of the cast is of the 'woke' generation.

I finally decided to give up the Mads podcast. after not listening to it for a while, I decided to click on their captain marvel link, and what do I hear within the first 5 minutes? 'incel', 'm***********' 'female lead movie'....and all the other SJW buzzwords that just give me eye rolls these days.

I also know the mads have worked with people like paul feig and are, for whatever reason, big fans of his and his 'work'. and, for my own sake, I figured it was probably safer to unfollow their podcast so it doesn't sully the memories of their funnier MST3K work.

I also know that Bill Corbet and Kevin Murphy are of the same ilk, but they are no where near as brazen ad frank and dr.forrester are in their hatred for the straight white male generation that has opinions. just looking at frank's twitter alone is sad.

are you able to seperate the performer from their political opinion? or have you had to stop following people because they are just getting too goofy for you?

Depends on wheter or not their work got annoying because of it. James Gunn is "woke" but that seems to have very little to do with the GotG movies. JK Rowling is """""woke""""" but the only way that impacts her work is through statements about the canon and not the her work itself (which got bad for other reasons). Then there's Bill Nye who not only allowed his work to get "woke" but it got "woke" in such a tone deaf, cringeworthy, out of touch manner that it's actually hard to watch, just take a look.



Of course, then you have people like Aaron McGruder who is "woke" and it's reflected in his work but still makes very entertaining stuff. The Boondocks is essentially about identity politics without being cringeworthy and actually managing to be thoughtful. It's arguably one of the best TV shows ever made.

OP, you shouldn't care as much about what they think as you seem to in your post.

I really don't care for any of this "woke" thing or whatever.

Anyway, I'm usually good at separating the art from the artist but I wouldn't say I can do it 100% effectively all the time. I don't think anyone can.

Women and the "woke" probably keep vegita up at night

I love lots of shows and movies, even if the cast are people who I wouldn't like in real life.

I love art, and absolutely don't care about the artists since I don't know any personally.

Its like me refusing to drive on my road because I found that it was built by a criminal.

Tbh I don't even know what most celebs think about politics, religion, etc. Just like I listen to a lo of music but can't even name the members of about 80% of the bands I listen to. I only know and remember the band members from bigger bands like the Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, etc.

Agreed. Can’t think of any artist I’m disappointed with. I don’t care about their personal views or lives tbh.

Alice Cooper being a born again christian is... not disappointing but weird, like finding out santa is Your dad kinda weird

I try to not get too "disappointed" in any celebrities. Otherwise I'd not be able to watch, say, Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro and Joss Whedon movies/TV shows anymore. And I like to watch Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro and Joss Whedon movies/TV shows.

Conversely, when I see celebrities piping stuff that I agree with, I admit it does makes me enjoy seeing them on screen a little bit more and root for them. But I think this is just human nature.

Trying to find the right balance between "tastefully endowed" and "suspiciously busty" on his 3D model of April is what keeps Vegita-San up at night.

I don't care about celebrities views on the politics and the like.

I don't want those aspects to get in the way of my enjoyment of their work and, besides, it's not like they can't support certain things, only when it benefits them.

All in all, they are merely people who can make mistakes, so I could care less.

I find myself really concerned with the use of the word “woke” by anyone.

Kind of like "triggered," I don't mind it if it's used ironically or as another way of illustrating the SJW-ness of a thing.

Though, to be fair, I hate seeing these kind of words used as weapons. Because that's what liberals do. They create words, or change words and terms, to simultaneously weaponize them against people of a different mind and insulate themselves from discourse. Stuff like "edge lord" or how "sexual reassignment surgery" quietly became "gender confirmation surgery."

What's worse is the right is now adopting a lot of those idiotic sophist arguments.

Now I'm just imaging this

Other than having an opinion when someone does something stupid that ends up in the news (or is annoying in a Turtles film/series if that is the case -- looking at you Not-April Fox), I generally could not care less what celebrities do or think anymore and gave up giving a damn years ago. And this whole "woke" nonsense is likewise too dumb to care about; why do we need to come up with new names for social opinions, etc.



I didn't see any issue with Mystery Science Theater...? Or is it not an issue with the actual series? I liked the new ones they produced for Netflix, but I have largely taken to fast forwarding though everything that isn't the movie viewing/commentary; esp in the old ones they put up.

If there's anything there to be "woke" about it's some of the stuff in some of the older films make it apparent how times have changed for the better.

Pot, meet... well, the whole matching set of cookware.

nope, it's an issue with the performers. 'TV's frank' has gone full on hollywood/woke mode. his compatriot, Trace B is the same way, but I feel he hasn't hit the full threshold yet like frank has...

Obligatory time to break out my vegita-san gif

Where's the gif for people who aren't "scared" of 'em but just plain don't like 'em? :trazz:

I haven't found that one yet
