Why Netflix has many woke shows? Why Disney have many woke shows? Why corporate America leaning in the woke direction? I’m curious like the working mechanism. Liberal top executives? HR leans liberal? Owners? Shareholders? Like what are the mechanical mechanism and reasons this happens?
Woke execs and HR etc.
Because many liberal white Americans have the emotional maturity of children and will boycott companies/products if they do not entirely align with their social beliefs. You can assume that anyone who doesn't talk about woke shit at work hates it, but are silenced out of fear of being cancelled. Welcome to China.
Pretty much. My last company was a wokefest, people bashing on trump and I’m like “oh yeah, he’s the worst, right?” “Be your authentic self” — as long as you spout the same Liberal ideology
Yeah, Trump is the worst. No competition.
I think there’s a small segment of the population that truly believes the premises of a woke culture, and they may be over represented in HR. Everyone else is afraid of being cancelled, or don’t care to speak up against it.
Western elites saw the Chinese model and got jealous of the power and control that Chinese elites have, so now they are implementing the Chinese system through Maoist techniques. DEI work like a CCP cell inside a company, controlling it through intimidation.
From a business perspective, diversity helps sales
I guess you haven't heard of Dave Chappelle if you're using Netflix as your first example
N is a perfect example. Comedy has always been edgy and pushed boundaries. So Chappelle comes out with a bit that out of context is transphobic and all the SJWs protest and threaten to quit (some even did I think?) It’s so bad with the woke rank and file that “management” came out with a memo that essentially said if you can’t work on things you don’t agree with then get the fuck out
And then… Netflix canceled Chapelle right? Right? Oh wait
Woke is a luxury fashion item that rich people can afford. It's a way of paying down moral guilt. Helps no one except DEI consultants and HR.
Well put!
Hot take, DEI is where incompetent HR folx go. And since HR is where incompetent execs go, the DEI ppl must be idiots. But at least they’re passionate about SJW
Wtf is a woke show?
