Part 9/13:
The hosts critique how social media, especially the rise of woke culture, influences content creation. They argue that debates around gender, race, and sexuality are now weaponized in entertainment, often replacing storytelling with political messaging.
Examples cited include:
The race-swapping and gender-swapping of iconic characters (e.g., Superman, Batman), which often feel forced and disconnected from established lore.
Content creators and studios seeking to appease ideological pressures rather than delivering authentic stories, leading to diminished audience trust.
The hosts warn that this approach risks destroying traditional notions of character continuity and plot coherence, replacing entertainment with activism.
