They’ll never admit to it openly, but getting woke makes companies broke. 

Hollywood has been overtly progressive for decades, but this is nothing compared to the social justice invasion since 2016. 

After around five years of an unprecedented leftist onslaught on the entertainment industry we are finally starting to see the rampage lose oxygen.  There’s a weakness within woke productions that the alternative media has been pointing out for a long time – They don’t make a profit because they are designed to appease a minority of leftist zennials that don’t have any money.  This is the wrong crowd to rely on for cash flow.     

It is fair to say that the entertainment industry was partially conned.  First, there are those tantalizing ESG loans that can be easily had as long a company loudly declares their fealty to the social justice agenda.  Then, of course, there is the fact that many corporate CEOs and marketing people track Twitter trends with the ignorant assumption that Twitter is actually a reflection of the real world.  The woke mob on Twitter is amplified by the company itself, while most contrary voices are stifled and buried.  Anyone using the Twitter echo chamber as a marketing gauge would be led to believe that leftist ideology is the prevailing ideology of the nation.  It’s not even close.

Some companies are finally realizing this fact and are taking action to reduce their exposure to woke content, or otherwise perish from loss of viewership.  Here’s the thing – Leftists could take over every platform for media distribution (they almost have), but they still can’t force the public to consume woke content.  Eventually, the loss of viewers and profits is going to hurt their bottom line.  

Warner Media (now owned by Discovery) seems to be on the forefront of the purge of leftist content.  Under chief executive David Zaslav, Discovery is aggressively dissecting Warner to understand why a company with so many iconic brands and franchises is continually failing at the box office and on streaming.  Zaslav is now dumping far left content like the poison it is.  

Most notably, Zaslav was behind the torching of news service CNN+ after less than a month of operation when it utterly failed to pull in subscribers.  Now, he has shelved the $100 million ‘Batgirl’ movie, a woke travesty with woke directors which test audiences hated.  He is also reportedly cutting the impending Supergirl movie, which rumors indicate was designed to replace the beloved Superman franchise with a female version played by a race swapped actress of Colombian descent (the original Supergirl is supposed to be white and blonde).      

Another event that shocked leftists was Netflix taking an ax to “First Kill,” a lesbian vampire series that no one asked for and apparently no one watched. 

This was after Netflix canceled a host of woke programming in the past couple of months, including a show called “Anti-Racist Baby” written by well known Critical Race Theory propagandist Ibram X. Kendi, and another animated show called “Q-Force” (Queer Force).

HBO Max recently canceled their “Gordita Chronicles” after only one season; the show based on a Dominican immigrant family heavily pushed leftist narratives of victim group status and depicted America as a racist and oppressive nation.  No mention of the fact that millions of non-white people try to sneak into the US every year even though it is supposedly “bigoted.”

The examples of purged woke programming go on and on.  This is a smart move by the entertainment media as audiences make it clear with their dollars and their viewership that they don’t want to watch leftist garbage.  However, is it too little too late?  

Some companies like Disney have chosen to foolishly double down on woke content (after numerous box office failures) and others like Warner have lost a lot of good will from their customers.  Corporations and marketing people have long sought to entice customers by researching what audiences want.  But, the new model is to simply TELL customers what to buy, and shame audiences into compliance with a product if they don’t like it. Since 2016 the strategy of media has been to ATTACK customers in response to criticism rather than listening and learning.  This hasn’t gone over well.  Today these businesses are paying the price for their trespasses against the free market.  

It is unlikely that they will be able to win back audiences anytime soon, if ever.

Pop star Beyonce has found herself on the end of a cancelation campaign by selectively offended word police who have taken offence at her use of the term ‘spaz’ and ‘spazzy’ on one song of her new album.

The song “Heated” on her new album “Renaissance” was targeted by complainers who claim one lyric contains the “ableist slur.”

The full lyric is “Yada, yada, yah, yada, yada, yah-yah – Yada, yada, bom-bom, kah-kah – Spazzing on that a**, spaz on that a**.”

It’s hardly Shakespeare, but it is offensive to the permanently offended.

Here we are again.

Not long after ableist language from Lizzo, Beyoncé’s new album features an ableist slur not once, but twice.

Disabled people’s experiences are not fodder for song lyrics. This must stop.https://t.co/UJXrJxdtXf

— Scope (@scope) August 1, 2022

It’s very hard to believe neither Beyoncé nor anyone in her team didn’t recognise the ableist slur when Lizzo very publicly made the same mistake a month ago (and graciously corrected it). Exhausting. https://t.co/FYtKeiXayH

— Frances Ryan (@DrFrancesRyan) August 1, 2022

The word is now generally used to mean ‘freaking out’, but it originates from the word “spastic” which stems from muscle spasm. The term was widely used in the past to describe the medical condition spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy.

Soon after the backlash, it was announced that the words will be edited out:

Great to hear that Beyonce will be removing the ableist slur from her song and album https://t.co/rxMDbaTn54

— Rachel Charlton-Dailey (@RachelCDailey) August 1, 2022

“The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced,” a statement read.

Many have pointed out that this is perhaps the least offensive thing on the album, which contains vulgar words and slurs in practically every song, as well as violent and sexual imagery.

In regards to #Beyonce's use of spaz:

Reminder: words have multiple meanings. In this case it isn't used as an ableist slur.

I'm autistic and have been called that plenty of times, but I can realise that Beyonce and Lizzo are not calling me spastic.

Stop trying to be offended.

— Rap & Music Hub (@YTRapHub) August 1, 2022

The song is full of profanity and violence. She threatens to cut a man's penis off and assault random strangers. But the part that offends people is when she uses the word "spaz." We are the dumbest society in the history of the world. https://t.co/Nl8368BNyo

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) June 14, 2022

Y'all do realize that Beyoncé is quite literally speaking about riding c0ck right?!?!! Like you never had good s3x Hannah?!?! No wonder you don't 'spaz' https://t.co/eUYia6OSm4

— MK🍋🐝 (@Beyhivestan101) August 1, 2022

Some tried to argue that only certain people can use certain words:

Spaz have a different meaning in the black community first of all and white people shouldn't be saying the n word, just like a woman don't want a man calling her a b***h but they call each other b****h…

— Justin Scipio (@keemothepharaoh) August 1, 2022

Look at the lyrics for this song (if you can be bothered), the first one on the album, and decide whether you’d rather a 10 year old kid hear that or the term ‘spaz’:

And lets not even start a debate about her husband’s lyrics.

Here’s a good solution, don’t listen to it if you don’t like it. It’s worked well for us.

Reports have suggested that Hollywood celebrities attending the Oscars Sunday night received bags which contained ‘gifts’ worth six figures including literal lordships along with plots of land in Scotland.

No, this is not The Babylon Bee.

While many of the film stars in attendance have made public calls to support Ukraine, they were offered luxury packages which according to reports included “a $25,000 project from a construction company; a $15,600 four-night stay for two at a luxury resort; a $15,000 three-day holistic wellness retreat; a $12,000 arm sculpting procedure; and a $10,000 skin treatment such a Botox.”

The top gift, however, was a plot of land in Scotland which would literally make them Lords and Ladies of Glencoe.

In total the gift bags were said to be worth in the region of $140,000.

People reacted to the gross opulence on social media, noting that the money could have been spent on aid for the people these celebrities seem so intent on claiming their ‘hearts are breaking’ for.

Rich elites stroking each other & given ‘gift bags’ worth over $140G’s -Imagine how many homeless children that could help Or used towards trying to end Child Trafficking 🤬 #NOTHANKS #gluttony #shameful #boycott #OSCARS #hollyweird pic.twitter.com/ONO3E2ArNk

In 2021, Forbes estimated that the Oscar "Freebie" gift bags valued around $205,000

I’ve spent hours thinking about why tonight’s Oscar nominees each get $140,000 gift bags and I’m still at a loss…

— Scott Wapner (@ScottWapnerCNBC) March 27, 2022

I know it’s nothing new that there’s such a shocking wealth divide in the world, but there’s something a little gross about the Oscar’s having $140k gift bags for nominees.

— 🍎 Pips (@MatsPips) March 27, 2022

Here’s an idea: Auction off these lavish gift bags and donate the cash to refugee agencies. Instead of coddling celebrities, help the poor and war-torn. #StandWithUkraine

— Larry Sabato (@LarrySabato) March 24, 2022

British Comedian Ricky Gervais, who has hosted multiple Golden Globe award ceremonies and used the platform to shame the fantasy world of Hollywood, noted that had he been hosting he would have called out the gift bags.

"I'm proud to announce that this is the most diverse and progressive Oscars ever. Looking out I see people from all walks of life. Every demographic under the sun. Except poor people, obviously. Fuck them."

— Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) March 27, 2022

While the ceremony made world headlines for Will Smith apparently fake slapping Chris Rock, it still received the second lowest ratings in its history.
