    Uhh… aside from superman (which i haven’t seen and can’t speak to) most of those are fairly “woke”

    Not that I have a problem with that.

      The point is that they’ve always been ‘woke’, and it’s insane that people think that ‘now’ they’ve changed to ‘become’ woke.

    Star Wars: Fighting space Nazis

    Superman: protecting people from Lex Luthor; evil billionaire

    Star Trek: Post scarcity society where all humans are treated as equals and nobody “gets” to be a billionaire (Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism)

    X-Men: always been an allegory for LGBTQ+ and disabled folks

      Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once

      Also Rose, the first companion of the new series was constantly showing the viewers the working class’s perspective throughout all their adventures, and fighting for those people at every chance.

      Then there are also characters like Dr. River Song and Madam Vastra, who are always shown as strong women who can fight their own.

        New Who has always been woke AF I don’t know why they minimized it so much in the other comment. Like, yes the main doctor is almost always a white man, but the show itself has often (and even more so in recent episodes) had a clear “woke” agenda. And I’m not saying that in a negative sense. The showrunner for much of it was/is a gay “absolutely happily left wing” man ffs.

        Edit: also, this thread talking about strong female leads jn Dr Who and not discussing Donna Noble is just wrong.

    They can’t grasp that these things have not changed, but they joined the bad guys so their perspectives changed. They can’t see the billionaires gilded puppet strings manipulating them.

    Little babies getting their feelings hurt. If only they could read and understand that woke is a form of being awake/aware and their self owns by making fun of it is blatantly hilarious. Only the media and the right get all up in arms over woke, the rest of us just call it reality.

      Seriously! I started listening to Rage Against the Machine specifically because they had songs like “Thank you, I’ll always do what you tell me” and “Wake Up (to the genocidal leftist conspiracy)”. This whole 180 they’ve made has been devastating.

      graphics person here - so what you want to get is krita or gimp, krita has better UI, gimp is more versitile. Or photoshop if you feel like uhh, borrowing it from adobe (don’t give them money they have enough)

      • put them meme into the software or your choosing

      • now if you can find a tool that says something like “healing” “spot healing” “patch” or “clone stamp” you can use them to remove the text that’s already there, all those tools work a little differently but can get you where you want to be, so play around with them and find your favourite

      • alternatively if that sounds too advanced you can brute force it, it won’t look as seemless but it will get the job done. make a new layer, select a brush with soft edges and ~80% opacity, and then use the eyedropper tool (usual shortcut should be holding alt and clicking on the colour you want) and remove the text by covering it with the same colour that surrounds it. You’ll notice how eventually the colour you sourced doesn’t blend in, then what you need to do is grab a new colour that’s nearby. Rinse and repeat until fully covered and blended

      • add text

      • if your text overlaps some parts of the image you don’t want it to overlap you might find yourself wanting to erase a bit of it and not being able to. That’s because the text is still text, fully editable. To change that you can either convert it to a normal layer (usually done by right clicking on the text layer and looking for something that says “convert”) or (and that’s the better option if you want to keep the text editable) you can apply a mask onto the text layer (should be a button for it next to “add layer” button), then as you have the mask selected draw with pure black over the elements you don’t want the text to cover

      i’m basing this mini-tutorial on photoshop so exact names and places of the tools you want might be different, but the process should be the same across most if not all image editing software

          Uh, I don’t know, Facebook possibly? I don’t label the origin of things I download. There seems to be a signature of some sort as ‘SW HG’, look that up, I guess.

    Movies and TV shows are modern art forms, and as such are created by artists.

    Artists have almost always been politically left of centre, usually wildly so.

    Video games have likewise been ‘woke’ for a long fucking time too - but don’t you dare try to make that point to GamersTM.

    I reckon there is right wing propaganda to normalise vitriol and de-empathise the public to pave the way for full fascism. Many of these accounts complaining about supposed wokeness are probably bots.
