The Reason Social Justice-Infected Shows Fail Isn't Racism, It's Actually Much Simpler

The age of woke entertainment built its castle on the sand and with every new attempt to build on it, the castle becomes more and more unstable. Studios reach for excuses as to why, and it typically involves blaming fans and viewers.

The list of social justice-infected movies and shows is a long one. Ghostbusters 2016, Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Beebop, Netflix’s live-action Resident Evil show, She-Hulk, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and now Amazon’s bastardization of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings with its “Rings of Power” show.

Each of these shows abused the source material, insulted the fans with awful accusations of bad character, and then wondered why audiences didn’t show up to support it.
