You’ll also see movies liked and praised in direct proportion to how little they have to offer, and how they systematically skirted all genres and narrative conventions that work. It’s all the same people and the same postmodernism viewpoints behind it. They just try to invert all things and make up words to describe it to make it sound like they’re doing something different.

Sunny days are nice? Fuck the sun. Tasty food is nice? Fuck tasty food, it’s so colonial. Hot chick? More like brainwashed chick oppressed into fulfilling societal standards and norms at the cost of her own inner liberation. You like a book, and it’s written in English? Sorry, I only read books with lots of French words and unfinished endings.

Just look at how the new Star Wars trilogy played out. They just took all the normal archetypes and inverted the genders, then tried killing off all the good characters from the originals in ways entirely uncharacteristic of them. Then whenever a plot point or character development would naturally occur, they decided to cut that and replace it with the opposite. The ending of the new trilogy is hilarious. The main character just decides to identify as something else.

They’re doing that with Last of Us 2, which someone recently leaked. Treat the main character from the last like trash because he’s a white male. Make random characters suddenly gay and hook them up with minorities. Make women and minorities overpowered in direct proportion to how weak they would be in that situation. People dislike stuff like this in part because it’s just bad writing, and in part because it’s really obvious that the entire point is to turn art and media into political attack pieces on the people that were financially funding them as fans. People weren’t paying to be talked to down about political nonsense when they bought a video game.

People wonder why this shit happens, and it’s because of the current college landscape. They teach people to do that and think that way for the first 25-30 years of their life in K12 and college, then they get out in the real world and all they really know how to do is whine and call things racist and use the word colonial like it’s going out of style.
