'So, to the white men in this thread… if you don't get that job you were up for, kindly remember… bias can go both ways. This is 2020 speaking.' -- Ava DuVernay
Remember a few years ago when movies were being crafted to be more appealing to Chinese audiences, with simpler jokes and plot lines? I wonder who's going to watch movies with a black lead, or a lesbian cast. If it's a great movie, then America and Europe certainly, if only as a curiosity. But if it's not great, people will learn quickly that the woke movies are not worth seeing. I don't think Chinese audiences want to see these movies either. I haven't seen "Get Out" but even a good horror movie's audience doesn't get larger by woke casting.
I think it's great Hollywood is getting cancelled, but people like DuVernay are inheriting a film industry that's already dying.
The CCP is terrible, but most Chinese citizens are heavily based. They have twice as much freedom to speak their minds there as we do, as long as they're aren't criticizing the government.
We are afraid to speak obvious truths here. We live in a culture of fear. We've essentially lost our freedom of speech and the left didn't need a SCOTUS decision to achieve it.
So then they don't have twice as much freedom. Who is afraid of disappearing for criticizing Trump or Schumer? Or being sent to a concentration camp that actually exists?
Point taken. But they openly call fat people fat and trans people "insane". They discuss crime statistics and have zero fear of cancel culture, because it doesn't exist there.

Notice any difference between these two movie posters?
I’m going to love seeing how Hollywood makes any money in China after this.
Yah, I don't see too many Chinese getting hair curling, collagen lip injections, or skin darkening.

What the hell, they took Chewie off the poster??
