    I'm not a fan of any labels.  Labels are too limiting.  I say, do what makes the most sense and is best for the planet and for humanity, not what some  trendy limiting label instructs you to do and think.

    Why George Washington Integrated the Army
    The commander-in-chief initially barred black soldiers from joining the ranks, but he came to understand the value—both moral and strategic—of a diverse force.
    Andrew Lawler
    Jun 16, 2025

    WHEN GEORGE WASHINGTON FORMALLY accepted his appointment as commander-in-chief of the newly created Continental Army on June 16, 1775—250 years ago today—he was the army. No other officers had been commissioned, the new troops that Congress had called up had not yet been assembled, and the thousands of militiamen already fighting in Massachusetts wouldn’t know they had been joined to a continental effort until their new leader presented himself. The freshly minted general had an unprecedented opportunity to shape an entirely new fighting force.

    As members of the U.S. Army and the other military services marched past President Donald Trump’s viewing stand on Saturday, I wondered what George Washington would have thought of what has since become the world’s most diverse military organization, one that closely mirrors the makeup of the people they are sworn to protect.

    One in five soldiers serving in the U.S. Army is African American; nearly as many are Hispanic. More than 10 percent label themselves as being of either Native American, Asian or Pacific Islander, or multiracial heritage. Women make up more than 15 percent of the active-duty Army, and, while recent data are difficult to come by, a 2015 study found that more than 5 percent of the Army identified as LGBT. And minorities aren’t just part of the rank and file; more than a quarter of Army officers are nonwhite.

    continues......

    the new superman movie is apparently woke as fuck.

    funny that it is the same story as before, yet maga is offended by it.

    if maga is offended by it, it might be worth checking out.

    It's almost impossible to make a movie that won't be accused of being woke. You'd have to make a concerted effort to do so.

    If the maga sycophants are offended by it, then I'm  definitely going to see it.
    Might be worth buying out a showing and donating the tickets to a non-profit that supports undocumented immigrants.

    There’s a new Superman movie and James Gunn the director is an inclusive dude. And a swath of Americans hate inclusion.

    Well certainly they must be offended, since Superman is the ultimate undocumented immigrant.

    Some people want a movie and not a lecture though.  It's why I stopped watching Supergirl and I LOVED Supergirl...
  • Tim SimmonsTim Simmons Posts: 9,326
    These things are never really a lecture though and maybe people should reflect on why they feel triggered if they feel it’s one

    I'll tell you why.  It's supposed to be fantasy.  Not everyone wants politics in their stories.  Some people want an escape, we already have enough politics in our lives.  That is why I am triggered.
    Edit: I am triggered about certain shows/movies doing this.  I have not seen the Superman film yet.  It look good actually.

    I know it’s a common thought whenever “woke” comes up in general conversations and has for what seems like forever, but when someone’s first thought is ‘why do they keep pushing this stuff’ rather than ‘why is there a need to keep pushing this stuff’, it’s really a great insight to their character and empathy levels.

    I have empath just not in television and movies...  If I want that I'll actually seek out that medium. Like I said I get enough of it from the news.

    I should mention I LOVED Walking Dead for the Zombies, not the backstories or character development.
  • mickeyratmickeyrat Posts: 44,063
    umm correct me if I'm wrong, but arent all comic books/movies centered on some kind of political messaging/ commentary?

    Sorry. That wasn’t specifically aimed at you. Just the general pushback. I should have noted that.

    It’s important to note that comic book fandom is inundated with types who don’t want inclusion (from characters, creators, and from consumers). They are generally suspicious of interlopers and change. I think for many it’s generally due to the psychology of retreating into that fandom and eschews a lot of the community aspects most fandoms enjoy. 

    Anyway, Comics are for Everyone.

    Not all but yes some are.  If you can tell me what End Games political commentary is about I'd love to hear it. Without googling.  I won't take population control as an answer either.  B)
