I was watching a show on Netflix and I was really interested. I went to the Netflix profile to see if they would do a second season since the show was a success. It turns out that in the comments, several right-wingers called the show woke. I watched it and didn’t see anything woke in the series. The protagonists are black, but what’s the problem with that? Maybe that’s why they said it was woke? The show is new and original with new and original characters. Isn’t that what they wanted? It’s confusing for me, because if they’re going to complain anyway, why are they asking for changes?

    I think the real issue is a European medieval society full of other races.

    Imagine watching a story from Japan’s point of view moments before Hiroshimas bombing. Except the entire story is cast with Americans and British people instead. I realise this is hyperbole and over shoots the mark.

    If it’s the future multiculturalism is great the world is far more multicultural now then it was even 100 years ago.

      If you are offended by fiction when it includes races other than your own, that’s just racism…
