bullshite. You can tell that those two wanted absolutely nothing to do with each other physically. The hugs were weird and odd and there was just no chemistry whatsoever between those two. It was awkward
I didn't get that impression at all. Me thinks you're seeing what you want to see.

I admit, I must be shallow and vindictive. I have changed since the who woke BS got started a few years back starting with all the racial crap.
I cant help it, it has changed me

It doesn’t.

I’ve said this in numerous threads:
If you’re going to race swap (Bridgerton, WoT) or throw out a few racism/patriarchy/LGBTQ comments (WoT, GoT:HoD) and leave it alone, I’ll roll my eyes and move on.
If you’re going to beat me over the head with it (she-hulk) I’ll take my eyeballs elsewhere.

If it permeates the entire show, I stop watching. If it's a stupid storyline they do just so go appease higher ups I get annoyed but don't care.

It affects the viewing experience if its forced for no reason related to the story.
Out of nowhere in the middle of the story agenda driven scenes are annoying simply from a moviegoer perspective. It's too obvious, sticks out like a sore thumb and there's no reason but for the writers having a mandate or requirement.

It ruins nearly every show or movie they force it into.

Like the female battle scene in Avengers Endgame. Totally broke the immersion and took the audience out of the battle. They made no effort to make it organic at all. Just POOF! All the chicks are together now by total happenstance.

An excessive number of new threads on the subject certainly affects my reading experience.

Negatively. It can backfire pretty badly.
Recent example: in Five Days at Memorial, there's an incident where a kid brings his grandmother into the hospital and says that his mom (her daughter) stabbed her. My thought was, yeah, that probably happened, but I don't think the people involved looked like that.
My next thought was sadness that simply changing the race of these people turned an implausible story into a very relatable one. I don't think that's the reaction the people who made the show wanted, but it felt inevitable.

If it makes sense within the storyline and isn't distracting, I can usually live with it. If it's calling attention loudly to itself - which they usually do - I find better ways to spend my time.

I won’t watch. It’s that simple.

I really depends on the situation. A lot of what we’re seeing now is so forced it takes you out of the story. For instance, the women assemble part in the final battle of Endgame was blatant pandering in a series that had no shortage of strong women characters.
Then you look at a film like Maverick…with a strong and competent female pilot….and it came across as natural. Disney would’ve inserted a lesbian relationship and have her besting Maverick at every chance…which would’ve blown it.
And then you get to the absurd with black elves or black Vikings. This is akin to a period piece with a black Queen Elizabeth….or a Zulu redo with white Zulu warriors. It’s just dumb pandering and disruptive to the immersion .
As opposed to a movie like 13th Warrior which wrote in a main character from the ME but did so smartly. Hell, even Costner’s shitty Robin Hood did a better job of working in Morgan Freeman’s character to be believable and likeable.

LOL at using Blazing Saddles as an example of “non-woke” film making.
I hope wokeness in film and television gets worse so some of you continue to get so bent out of shape you create more and more threads about it and throw around the term “snowflake” with absolutely no irony.
Good. Lord.

I've stopped watching the vast majority of newly created things. If a studio trumpets it's DEI policy, it's a nonstarter for me, because they are telling me up front that they care more about checking boxes than entertaining me...which is the only reason they exist as far as I'm concerned.
If there's a new thing I'm half way interested in I'll catch a few reviews from people I tend to agree with who can act as tase testers and if they seem to like it I'll give it a shot. If they hate it, I'll pass entirely and not give the thing a click, watch, download, or ticket purchase.
In the end, these are all wants not needs, so it's super easy to just ignore it entirely.

How can you depict an LGBTQ character without showing their behavior of being attracted to a particular gender/sex? You can't. You have to write-in story-lines and/or dialogue that make it clear as day to the audience that a character is LGBTQ. It takes time, you have to film particular scenes, you have to write in particular dialogue, you have to hire actors/actresses to act in those scenes, you have to rehearse everything, find sets/backgrounds that fit the story, etc.
This is a great point and it's why so many of these diversity characters are written so badly. Take superheroes.
With the typical straight while male superhero of the past, the only actually thing you could do as a writer to make a story with that character interesting would be to create a fully fleshed out character, interesting villains, lots of action, etc. You could not rely on WHO or WHAT the character is to fill space or to make them "interesting" because of their sex or race or sexual orientation. So what you get now are completely flat characters where the most important thing about them is their sex, race, sexual orientation, religion, etc. It's the entire reason they exist and it a crutch used by shitty writers.
And it's why classic heroes still hold up...because you can't just talk about Batman's race or the girl he's fricking to make it seem like he's interesting. You actually have to have a good story to place him in.

Soo...you want all studios to go bankrupt? Weird flex, but ok.
