Michael Ende, "Endless History"

On the Internet, I now and then come across people who are trying to justify the presence of a “progressive” agenda in today’s games, films and series. They usually begin the conversation with the idea of ​​“tolerance” and the examples of how various “minorities” pierced their way on the screen, primarily American.

And here it seems that you can’t particularly argue – over the most part of the twentieth century, prejudices really reigned in the United States. Especially in the entertainment industry, which strictly followed the trends, which was set by the Hollywood elite. If your image did not meet the “social norms”, if the lifestyle and worldview were “not like everyone else”, then the chances of getting out into the celebrities have sharply reduced.

However, now everything has changed. Different programs for “diversity” and “inclusiveness” are designed to do everything so that everyone, regardless of the color of the skin, gender and other characteristics, is open to glory. And if someone does not agree with the current state of things, these are conservatives who cannot stand the characters if they are not white men-nurses. So after all?

Here are only all these reasoning do not join with reality. What is there with reality! The “progressive” ideology every now and then contradicts itself, and the statements of many “fighters of social justice” at the time of use as examples of “doubles” from “1984”. And, of course, attempts to force such ideas into various works do not lead to anything good. Here are a few examples:

Doctor Who

This is perhaps the most obvious case when the franchise was ruined for the sake of the agenda. But, which is characteristic, we were hidden by “diversification”, they say we just want to do the same fantastic and exciting stories, only with a female character. So that women can also feel like lords of time.

Well? And the question is, who prevented him from making a separate series with such a character? "Spin-Offers" with the doctor who have already been. Moreover, they were popular, especially "Torchwood". You don’t even have to come up with a separate character – just take one of the lords of the time already lit up in one or even several stories.

Rani, for example, from the "classic" series that were before the doctor returned in the ninth incarnation. A brilliant scientist, one of the best graduates of the Academy of Time – is not an example of a strong woman? So what, sometimes her experiments went too far! Yes, she began to be considered a criminal, the second in danger after the master, but what can you do for the sake of progress. In any case, the authors could have imagined the case, making it a positive character in the new series.

And, since we mentioned the master, he changed the floor a couple of seasons ago. So it also approaches the role of the heroine. Well, or anti-heroini. Agree that making a series about missies would be a really interesting idea.

But, of course, the most obvious choice of the protagonist for the new series would be River Song. A person by origin, but becoming a lord of time under the influence of the radiation of Tardis while still in the womb. She subsequently experienced a lot of adventures, even almost killing the doctor. But then became his faithful ally and even his wife. By the way, in some episodes they measured more than once … Intellect and experience. And found themselves quite on equal terms.

What prevented the series about it? Some problems with the actress? Add another regeneration and the problem is solved!

But no, instead of the introduction of a new female character or the return of the already known, the authors changed the floor to the doctor. Because “the future is women”, because men should not have heroes who would serve as a model of behavior for them. Including behavior with women. After all, the doctor always respectfully treated his companions, which obviously does not fit into the message that a confident man is necessarily an oppressor.

However, the screenwriter of the series Chris Chibrinell was not enough to deprive the fans of their hero. He decided to erase all the overlords of time. There were never them, they understood? All their powerful and wise civilization was built on the lies and operation of the little black girl, which appeared from where through the portal of unknown origin.

This black girl was forced to die again and again, while the Galifre scientist Tactoun was able to explore the ability of the “eternal child” to regenerate and not instill it.

Yes, Chibnell made a tactoun with a white woman. Apparently I decided that this is a satisfactory compromise that allows you to show the lines of the time of all to one white oppressors. But at the same time, to remind you that it was women who always moved science forward. After all, only after the opening of the regeneration, the timelings were able to make all their discoveries thanks to a long life.

Of course, Splion – the leader of the overlords of the time, led the Galiframs to prosperity and technological superiority (although he was by no means an entirely positive character), went to the garbage. Like all hints that regeneration appeared among the overlords of time already as a result of their technology. Remember that River Song has become a lord of time thanks to the irradiation of Tardis? So forget it.

Forget that a doctor is a man who has achieved everything with his own labor. Yes, he was the lord of time, but did not stand out among his peers. Until the Galifrai was running away from the planet on a defective time machine Tardis and for hundreds and even thousands of years of traveling through the Universe gained experience, knowledge and wisdom.

But, as we know from the brochures of “theory of racial criticism”, achieving our goals on our own-this is the principle imposed by white men-strangers. So now the doctor has not achieved anything thanks to his perseverance. Now all the successes are explained by the fact that from the very beginning the doctor was special, unique. In general, they turned the character into ordinary Mary Sue.

On the Internet, very often you can find completely incorrect ideas about what exactly is meant by the term “Mary Sue”. Some say that this is an excessively strong character, whose unbalanced abilities overshadow the possibilities of other heroes. Others that are just a strong female character. Still others believe that Mary Sue is a “too perfect” woman, devoid of any shortcomings.

In fact, the determining factor for Mary Sue (or Harry Stu, as the male equivalent of such a character is called) is the lack of a call. Yes, that is how – the character himself, his physical attributes and character do not matter. That is, they have, but the "Marisyuity" does not depend on them. It is important that the history challenges the hero (or heroine)!

You can recall a super gull, which, like a superman, can devote not only ordinary people, but also most superheroes of the DC universe. Or Zen, the “queen of warriors” simply scattering the majority of opponents. But the majority. From time to time before these heroines, an enemy appears, who cannot be defeated from the scab. And then they have to retreat, regroup and come up with something new. It is in such situations that characters can reconsider their views on the world and on themselves. It is at such moments that they "grow".

And to Mary Sue, all this is not applicable. She always overcomes an obstacle from the first attempt. Defeats all enemies without effort. She never has to review her views and engage in reflection. After all, even if she has a misfire (which is very rare, but still happens), she will simply forget about her and go another road, without thinking about why she lost this time this time. For what? For the second time, everything will turn out successfully without any thought, because the plot always rotates around Mary Sue.

Star wars

And since it came to Mary Sue, let’s move on to mockery of the Star Wars universe called "Kennedy trilogy". And after all, the authors were also hiding behind the advancement of the idea of ​​a “strong woman” to the masses. They also said that we want more diverse heroes. Such that people are inspired by all races, sexes and other "identities".

Well, where are these heroes? What can Ray inspire, with whom the force (or screenwriters) present all achievements and victories on a saucer? Which does not need to learn neither the wisdom of the Jedi nor the management of the spaceship. What message does its storyline contain? That a girl can do anything? And if something did not work out, white men are to blame? After all, it is they who refill Patriarchate "First Order".

And for the sake of this, the scriptwriters leaked Luke and Khan Solo?! After all, they were not just killed, they also rewritten the biography. And the explanation that they say people are aging and changing here does not fit. Luke’s call to kill Ben Solo happened many years ago when he was still young. Think about it! The person who found a spark of good in Lord Vader himself, whose account of destroyed innocent lives began with the killing of children at the Jedi Academy on the planet Korsant, took up the sword from one single vision. In any case, this is how Ryan Johnson presented the “fall of Luke” in order to pay attention to the problem of “male toxicity”.

The same with the khan. He threw Ley, threw his son when he was still young. Khan from the original trilogy would never have surrendered, I would definitely turn the whole galaxy, but I would find Kylo Rena and straighten his brains. But no, such a turn would be a wrong message for the young generation. Unnecessary associations could arise with parents who do not allow their children to join Antiphus. Anyway, such heroism could divert attention from Leia, which was the only one shown in a positive light.

However, whether positive? Think about this – after the emperor was defeated, a new republic came to the place of the Galactic Empire. And headed her Leia organ and senator Mon Motma. More precisely, in the legendary canon, the first chapter of the republic became Mon Motma, then she was replaced by Leia, then Motma returned and so on. Something reminds me of it.

When Leia did not replace Mon Motma, she was negotiating with star systems that had not yet entered the republic. Its contribution as an ambassador to education and the rise of a new republic is difficult to overestimate. The most striking example is described in the "Truna trilogy", which is rightfully considered one of the best works on an expanded universe. There, Leia exposed the deceit of the mourning and thus deprived the ambitious general of the support of the nails – his most faithful allies and skillful saboteurs.

Of course, this all remained Tropicanza Casino in the expanded universe. And in the Disney canon, Leia did not become either an ambassador or an adherent of power. But she, along with Motma, raised the formation of the first order and the introduction of a new death star into the system. And if you believe the “sunrise of Skywalker”, then also the abduction of children on a planetary scale. Yeah. Here you have a message about the competence of women leaders and female loans.

In general, it is funny that recently the creators of “inclusive and tolerant” star wars are just scolding for racism and discrimination. John fighter recently complained that his black hero was pushed into the background. And not to say that he is so wrong.

The Finn’s “Awakening of Power” was perhaps the only interesting character. The stormtrooper-defender, who decided to join the resistance, would be curious to see how he will feel among the former enemies and how they will react to him. They even say that Abrams was going to open power in Finn – imagine a former attack aircraft in the students at Luke Skyoker!

But, as everyone knows, Ryan Johnson deceived the expectations of the audience and in the "Last Jedi" threw out the developments of J.J. with the story of Finn there the same. Let me remind you that the hatch was white. So it may not be the race, but that Kennedy and her henchmen, preoccupied with “diversification”, simply did not know what to do with all these characters (gender, Finn, Rose), which they introduced exclusively as “representing the oppressed groups”?

On the other hand, the information was emerging even earlier that Jessica Henwick, an actress of Asian appearance, played in the series “Iron Fist”. However, instead of her, they took the Caucasian Daisy Reidley. And I remind you that it was precisely those people who called the racists who criticized the plot of the “last Jedi” generally and the absence of a sane storyline for Rose Tiko in particular.

Ray could look like this

By the way, the fighting also remembered about Rose. Also scolded the scriptwriters who did nothing sensible to her. But since the ideology of intoxicity says that blacks cannot be racists, Disney has nothing to cover here. Moreover, Kennedy herself abandoned the “duel of destinies” – a version of the ninth episode, where not only the atmosphere of classic star wars, but all the characters, including Rose of Tiko, was allocated, the share of adventure.

So you begin to ask the question – and whether those who want to distract from their own punctures and discrimination are loudly shouting about “structural racism” in society? Or maybe these people really consider all subconscious racists because they are judged by others

Before continuing, I would, just in case, wanted to clarify the meanings of some words and expressions. Otherwise many of them are very confused and vague. And activists use them this way and that way. What is actually the problem – ideologists of “social justice” constantly use various tricks, speaking one thing, but at the same time implying a completely different.

The same "Social justice"– This is a completely meaningless term. That is, of course, you can call "social justice" your ideas and vision of an ideal society. But this does not Yours Ideas and yours the vision of society is more fair than someone else.

But "fighters of social justice" consider otherwise. All their worldview is built on the principle of “I am for social justice. Therefore, everyone who does not agree with me is against social justice. Therefore, everyone who is against me – Nazis, fascists, radical conservatives, against whom any means are good ". Of course, the idea that the idea to apply any means against the opposition itself is radical and not far from fascism, “fighters with.With.»It doesn’t come to mind.

"Intersectionalism" or “Intersectionalness " – This is an ideology built on the idea that white healthy heterosexual men are in a winning position compared to representatives of other races, floors, sexuality and other “identities”, different from those that have the majority. Moreover, all other groups of people are built into the so -called “hierarchy of oppression”, depending on how many characteristics (such as the floor and race) it intersects. (Hence the name of ideology, from English intersection – intersection.)

Yes, and if it suddenly seemed to you that the description of intercovement is like racism, then you are absolutely right. This is it. The only difference is that “supporters of white superiority” believe that since the whites are superior to non-white, then the whites should occupy the dominant position in society. And the ideologists of the intersectionality believe that since the whites are superior to non-white, then white should be ashamed of how they used their winning position. But both ideologies are based on the superiority of white over black, men over women, etc. D.

Here is a brochure released by the leadership of the Museum of Afro-American Culture. Guess who wrote is a racist or a social fighter. justice?

At the moment, “intersection” and “social justice” can be considered interchangeable terms. Because, as I wrote above, the term “social justice” can be applied to any view of an ideal society. And it so happened that “fighters with.With.", People who shout about" social justice "," racial justice "," male privilege "and" heteronormativity ", chose the intercovement with their ideology.

Star path

But more than all bullying from "social fighters. justice "tested the franchise of the starry path. There, Picaru arranged the same “deconstruction” as Luke, forcing him to surrender and leave because of one only failure. And before that, the racers of the Klingons were turned into a parody of either supporters of Trump, or alternative right -wing Richard Spencer (however, for fighters from.With. there is no difference). And at the same time, the mirror universe turned upside down.

And as always covered themselves with the struggle with sexism, racism and other prejudices. Like, there have always been political statements in the stories of the Star Road, and the series from the very beginning was for “progressive values”. Here are just the values ​​that were called progressive in the 60s, 80s and even the 90s, have nothing to do with those values ​​that are the “fighters with progressive today.With.".

Copy of Lincoln: What a charming black woman … Oh, I’m sorry. I know, in my time, this word meant property.

Lieutenant Uhura: But why should I mind? You see, in our century we learned not to be afraid of words.

You can imagine a similar dialogue in the modern star path? In the series or film, which is made by adherents of ideology, which considers not only curses, but even criticism of certain people with “micro -aggression” and violence? People requiring any image to remove and even demolish statues that insult their gaze?

But this is only one of many episodes where the values ​​of the “star path” are contrary to today’s “progressive” ideology. In the series “Drummary Justice” (already from the “next generation”), which is entirely devoted to such topics as the presumption of innocence, ethics and cases when “atrocities are going on under the mask of good deeds”, the Picard equates the censorship of speech, the prohibition of ideas and the restriction of freedoms to the links of the chain, which “inevitably bothers us of all”.

Walter Mozli, screenwriter who joined the authors of the series “Star Way: Discovery”, left from there after he was reprimanded to use the word “niger”. But all that he did was quoted the words of a policeman who turned to him. (After all, Mozli is black.)

Is it worth it to be surprised that the plots of new series are replete with holes and contradictions, and ideas never go deeper than capital truths? As you think the scriptwriter team will raise uncomfortable questions and work out the characters if most of the time they are busy observing that someone does not say anything offensive to someone else?

When people who urge the others to be tolerant, they themselves are not too tolerant, these “preachers of tolerance” refer to the so-called “paradox of tolerance”.

Its definition sounds like this: “If we extend tolerance to people who ourselves are not tolerant, then inelerant people will destroy tolerant, and therefore the tolerant society itself."

This definition goes back to the philosopher Karl Popper, who in the forties of the twentieth century wrote many works on the problems of modern society.

The only problem is that this is not a paradox. This is just a statement. And in my opinion it is quite true – if society endures people who are actively trying to destroy this very society, it is clear that sooner or later these people will reach their goal. After all, nothing bothers them!

And let me remind you that the "fighters of social justice" are precisely extremely inelerant. They do not tolerate any criticism, no jokes over their own ideas, no points of view that are at least slightly different from their own … which of this suggests a conclusion? And such that the calls of fighters with.With. Tolerance, they just have the goal of weakening the society that they want to destroy due to the inconsistency of their standards of “social justice”!

The very society itself, which the fighters are going to build, will not be more tolerant than the society that they want to replace. Yes, in a new society they will have to take care of the well -being of certain groups of the population. But at the same time, other groups will be suppressed with the same (or even greater) stiffness, with which the "oppressed" is suppressed today.

You think that the Russian "Law on the Protection of Children from harmful information" can be used for repressions? And why do you think the British "Act on Personal in Communications" is used? Provocative video or careless joke on political topics – and you will already come for you. But the transgender lobby is now and then trying to use the pronouns that do not correspond to the gender by crime!

The most funny, by the way, is that “non -recovery to non -recovery” has already reached the “minorities” themselves. Women who are opposed to the agenda "SOC.justice ", subjected to such persecution that Anita Sakrisyan did not dream of. Black, voting for Trump "no longer black". And even in LGBT* the community has been a germ for several years for the right to be the most oppressed.

And this is only the beginning ..

And these were only the three largest franchises that rolled up due to the fact that their scriptwriters were more important than “working out the agenda” than to come up with an exciting story and interesting characters. But the examples when “woke up” (Woke – so often call those who begin to see the oppression of minorities everywhere) scriptwriters counted the franchise much more.

Terminator. Angels Charlie. Enchanted. X -Men. Dishonored Game series. And if you think that the fall of comics sales from DC and Marvel is associated exclusively with coronavirus, answer-why then the popularity of manga on the rise, and projects from supporters of the comic Gate, which claim that the intriguing story is more important than the agenda, successfully collect funding for Indiegogo?

By the way, on the approach of the "Awakening" of the cinema -populated Marvel and the new James Bond for feminists of the last wave.

Of course, not everywhere about the influence of neo-feminists and other SS fighters can be approved with 100% accuracy. Say, in "Ghost hunters" many also see the agenda, since all men’s characters are stupid. But if you take a closer look, you can notice that the female characters are not shining there with intelligence. So maybe the problem is not on the agenda, but in the fact that the film itself is stupid? Yes – funny, yes – dynamic, but stupid. With stupid jokes and a primitive scenario.

Another thing is that despite the stupidity and primitivism, the "ghost hunters" received a high score on metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. It is for women in the main roles that I personally read more than a dozen positive reviews from the links with RT and all, as one indicate the sex of heroines, as the main (if not the only) dignity of the film. In one review, as many as a whole paragraph praised a joke with a vaginal fart – they say, anywhere else you will see (you will not hear) about this female physiological feature!

Which leads us to the main problem of the industry-activists to activists. Those who are hiding behind the fight against prejudices, but in fact are trying to promote their own views, or simply supports ideology, hoping to cut off the “cultural war” of dough and popularity.

Social Justice fighters (SS fighters)

Yes, I believe that the main responsibility for everything that happens lies precisely on media workers. Because if the next film or another game, where the authors promoted ideology to the detriment of everything else, was subjected to healthy criticism, these authors might have thought about their priorities and their views.

But instead, the press not only completely supports propaganda from the screens, but also attacks critics, calling them racists, sexists and Nazis. Any criticism of the SS agenda is declared “Hate Speech”, and assumptions about the conspiracy of the promoters of the scriptwriters and the creations of journalists who protect their creations are ridiculed as “conspiracy theories”.

And as if this were few, many platforms – forums, social networks, public organizations having influences – actively help political activists of a “progressive” sense.

I do not just prefer the reduction of "SS fighters". Adepts of “social justice” can be called by the Nazis and Nazis as much as they like, but most often they themselves act as a Gestapo. Well, or the thoughts of thoughts from the already mentioned "1984" George Orvella. The benefit in the virtual space is much easier to destroy documents – publications, comments, even whole accounts.

See Comments warning users, what will go for their money if they sacrifice them for Black Lives Matter’s “Charity”? No? And they were here.

Removing information contrary to ideological dogmas and blocking especially “malicious” critics leads to the fact that forums, social.Networks and other Internet communities turn into “bubbles”, where everyone believes (or at least pretend that they believe) in the same thing that moderators and “opinion leaders” believe in. And since the opinion and faith of these leaders is never disputed or criticized, the most wild ideas may flourish there.

In order not to be unfounded, I will give an example. Recently, E3 organizers deleted a link to the article “25 Games for Women” from their Twitter account after accusations of sexism and planting harmful stereotypes. Not God the news, of course, on Twitter every day someone writes something offensive. Perhaps that is why Stopgame passed this event.

However, think about this – that article on the Parade website (the article itself, by the way, was also deleted) was compiled based on game preferences of women. And according to statistics, most women play mainly in mobile and casual games. And as a result, there is nothing surprising that Candy Crush, Bejeweled, Tetris, several visual novels and even the game based on the show Kim Kardashian.

I’ll say even more. If the list was compiled exclusively by statistics, neither Overwatch nor Spelunky would never get into it. Yes, no one argues that women also play these games, but in popularity among the female audience they will be far behind various casuals. So the author of the article (also a woman, by the way) clearly added several games from herself. Either from personal preferences, or just deciding to diversify the list.

And such a list, based on real preferences of the female audience, was declared the propaganda of sexism and harmful stereotypes! And the leadership of E3 without blinking an eye not only removed him, but also apologized. For what? Just for the fact that reality does not correspond to ideology!

Think again! A serious organization apologizes to the crowd of activists for the fact that real statistics are contrary to ideological dogmas! And this is only one, the most obvious example, when people “protect” from reality, so that they continue to believe in delusional ideas. In this case, that women do not have their own statistics of preferred games, different from men.

And there are many such examples. The commission, which investigated in Britain, the involvement of minor girls in prostitution promised to disclose the investigation data, but under the pressure of activists it did not publish anything – there was too much percentage among the gang members made immigrants from the Middle East, for the most part Muslims. They try not to advertise statistics on people who regret the operation to change the floor – it can become an argument in the hands of parents prohibiting their offspring hormonal therapy. Note that these are already problems pouring into the real world.

But it all started with the same agenda in the cinema and games. "Political correctness" requires replacing a white actor with black? Why not – think one actor. Somewhere they saw an offensive joke about gays? Well, okay, we’ll remove it – it was not very funny joke. Insert a remark into the film that white Europeans are oppressors? You can insert it, after all, we don’t run into black.

And so time after time, the border that determined what could be said and what was not worth it, it was moved “to the left”. And already in 2011, the GDC (Games Developers Conference) sounded a statement that the United States is a fascist state. And if there are no black characters in your game, then you support fascism.

Today there are already games that openly call for the fight against the police as an institution of oppression. And “left” activists, that is, those who seek to change society for the sake of “progress”, say that even this call has the right to exist.

But when some game raises the question of a “progressive” agenda from the negative side, such a howl rises that the content has to be deleted, and the company apologize.

And understand me correctly. I am entirely for freedom of speech. Even if it is an idiotic statement that white Americans are a fascist regime. But criticism is also a word. And she should also be free. When the United States was called the GDC fascist state, I was most struck by the statement itself, but the fact that no one even after the performance was even objected to. Why? Everyone agreed? Or they were just afraid that they would be called racists and fascists?

It was this lack of criticism and objections that allowed the intersectionality to grow from a radical idea accepted only in a narrow circle, into a real cult, which has seized the entertainment industry, the media and even American education, where the “theory of racial criticism” and “gender research” today are a common specialty.

The worst of all is that now the summons of LGBT, racial theory and radical feminism are promoted even in children’s programs. “Sesam Street”, the new “Shi-Ra”, “Prince-Dragon” … Even “little ponies” did not escape propaganda of same-sex marriages and multiculturalism. (And the latter was made to the detriment of the plot.) And children, in view of their lack of experience and knowledge, to critically look at what they are slipping, gullibly accept any ideas for a pure coin.

So, when the next time someone will criticize the agenda in the game or film, do not discard this criticism as racism, sexism, or some other prejudice. Because it is very possible that claims to promoted by authors are quite justified by ideas. Because today Hollywood and the AAA-IGR industry are just as full of prejudice as it was half a century ago. Their guidelines simply changed.

And, we want to recognize it or not, but today it is the American entertainment industry that is the main supplier of entertainment products for the whole world, including for Russia. Therefore, yes, the question is that it is the American producers who shove into games, cinema and TV shows, and how this affects us is by no means an idle question.

Thank you for your attention. I hope you think about all of the above. Well, for now, positives:
