"Seems people are leaving Netflix in their droves due to what Elon musk describes as the woke mind virus. Every program now seems to be so top heavy to meet their agenda's that it feels forced. Don't believe me just search overwoke Google. " Why would I want to listen to that abhorrent megalomaniac? | |||

"I bet Elon doesn't even watch anything on Netflix. He's too busy playing with rockets in his garage." Does the guy ever look up from his phone? Seems to be constantly tweeting from his accounts! 🙈 | |||

"“Overwoke” 😂😂😂" I was underwoke at 06:40 this morning and honestly, I'm struggling to be completely woke even now. I think I'll head to be completely un-woke soon so that by 07:00 tomorrow, I'll open my eyes and wake up! | |||

"I think the same as pretty much everyone else in the thread. The “woke” term has been highjacked and used as some kind of derogatory term for the right wing, traditional and conservative (small c) conspiracy theorists. Woke is an inclusivity term. I think familiarising yourself with its origins will be an education. If you are right wing or conservative (small c), there’s nothing wrong with that either btw (I’m “woke” enough to accept your societal beliefs). " Exactly! Imagine being against wanting equality and being against injustices - I mean how awful to be like this? FFS! | |||

The term woke has grown to be used in the context of inclusivity (originally it was coined to specifically relate to African Americans). It has recently been hijacked…etc. | |||

They are incapable of making a profit without the EV subsidies that the US government has previously given out, it will be quite delicious if Trump does kill those subsidies. Their sales actually shrank last year, and other global car companies are now making EVs that a 100% better value for money than teslas. In any case musktwats dash into full on fascism has destroyed his own core market of environmental tree hugging friends of the earth type, leaving only the morons that want cybertrucks so that they can play act being post apocalyptic road warriors. Meanwhile I shall enjoy the knowledge that elmo has such a fragile self image that it is battered by the very existence of a few tv programs that include non-white-cis-male characters. | |||

"Amusing about inclusivity yet when someone question's the popular trendy narrative people stat losing their minds. If this post had been the other way round and the op had received this level of personal insults then claims of bullying would have been said. So it's ok to bully and insult if the opinion is different shame on you. I never said I agree with Musk I was quoting him in that obviously there's an issue that's been highlighted even if it's by a manic it's still valid if people feel that they are now being marginalised and surely the whole ethos of the woke movement is to ensure that everyone is treated equally and fairly represented without prejudice be it race, religion or sexual orientation and the fact that major media outlets not just Netflix are going over and above what is a fair representation of everyone the only reason Musk has highlighted it is because he doesn't care about being popular I don't agree with most of what he says but like him I have the right to point out an issue without being insulted and ridiculed. Thanks "I think the point is that what people call ‘the woke agenda’ is just wider representation and inclusion. Cis het white people are still the overwhelming majority in all TV and media. It’s just that there’s more diversity. I’m curious as to why seeing different faces and sexualities is such a negative? If a program isn’t aimed at my demographic, it’s not an issue. I’m not going on CBeebies and complaining about their content not being for me, so why should anyone moan if it’s about a black gay American woman? This isn’t about TV, this is about conservative white men feeling marginalised and uncomfortable because the world doesn’t revolve around them anymore | |||

Yup really inclusive that "No one said that. It’s just that it’s not the only voice that matters. “When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” I think it’s also important to consider where your opinion is coming from in those terms | |||

"The word "woke" means to have awakened from sleep. All other definitions are as equally valid as each other. Nobody owns a word, or has any kind of legal right to a single definition, unless it has been copyrighted." That’s not how language works, definitions should convey meaning otherwise we’re just making noises | |||

I could say very much the same thing about people still clinging to the whole sheeple concept, that somehow unpopular opinions are more valid. Maybe they are unpopular because they are not based on any facts. Wanting all people to be treated well should be a popular opinion as its clearly the moral thing to do. It's really so simple if you don't like a particular show watch a different one. The Netflix catalogue is huge. | |||

While you are not entirely wrong for some people. The absolute hilarity of this argument is to think that the "other side" is any less easily manipulated or any less sheep people. They are different sides of the same coin. | |||

Saved me 10 quid a month on the network, and get Netflix as part of my sky q subscription
Is it because hulk hogan got booed out of the building on that wwe show… "It's definitely handy having it all included. And they weren't booing, they were saying "boooo-rother" | |||

But they were not James Bond in eyes of Ian Fleming "The most accurate physical representation of the original Bond was Daniel Craig. The tall, handsome, brown haired, brown eyed earlier actors were nothing like what was described in Fleming's books. So, we can totally discount the most famous Bonds, like Roger Moore Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. From the author's pen: "slim build; a 3 in (76 mm) long, thin vertical scar on his right cheek; blue-grey eyes; a "cruel" mouth; short, black hair, a comma of which rests on his forehead" | |||

"Amusing about inclusivity yet when someone question's the popular trendy narrative people stat losing their minds. If this post had been the other way round and the op had received this level of personal insults then claims of bullying would have been said. So it's ok to bully and insult if the opinion is different shame on you. I never said I agree with Musk I was quoting him in that obviously there's an issue that's been highlighted even if it's by a manic it's still valid if people feel that they are now being marginalised and surely the whole ethos of the woke movement is to ensure that everyone is treated equally and fairly represented without prejudice be it race, religion or sexual orientation and the fact that major media outlets not just Netflix are going over and above what is a fair representation of everyone the only reason Musk has highlighted it is because he doesn't care about being popular I don't agree with most of what he says but like him I have the right to point out an issue without being insulted and ridiculed. Thanks
I think the point is that what people call ‘the woke agenda’ is just wider representation and inclusion. Cis het white people are still the overwhelming majority in all TV and media. It’s just that there’s more diversity.
I’m curious as to why seeing different faces and sexualities is such a negative?
If a program isn’t aimed at my demographic, it’s not an issue. I’m not going on CBeebies and complaining about their content not being for me, so why should anyone moan if it’s about a black gay American woman?
This isn’t about TV, this is about conservative white men feeling marginalised and uncomfortable because the world doesn’t revolve around them anymore
So as man of a certain age and ethnicity and sexuality my opinion isn't valid anymore ,I'm not allowed to say anything because of what people before me have done?
Yup really inclusive that "Looooolllllll | |||

"I saw this definition on Facey earlier today. WOKE MOB "A large well informed group of people with basic empathy who are compassionate, committed to dismantling injustices and making the world a better place for all of humankind." Happy to be considered 'woke'. 🤷♂️ I'm always more worried by people who have issues with the word and why they see it as a negative. Seems any challenge to the status quo results in meltdowns and outrage, often when it's things that don't affect or impact their lives in the slightest, but improve those of others. It's a funny old world........" As a black bi woman I'm glad that the world is becoming 'woke' aka no longer being bigoted towards people like me  | |||

Maybe he was an immigrant from Germany? "You're not far off there! The Roman army was made up of legions and auxiliary cohorts. Auxiliary cohorts, basically, were made up of soldiers from lands that Rome had conquered and they conscripted warriors from those places. There were a lot of these. Young men would join up willingly, and unwillingly, but would be guaranteed to be fed, to be paid, and some adventure. On many occasions, they would take their women with them too. There were auxiliary cohorts called Legio Africanus, made up mostly of African native tribal warriors and their women followers, Legio Macedonius, Legio Gallica, the French legion. When these units were decimated in battles, they were joined with others to form new legions. The Roman military unit in Judea at the reported time of Jesus' birth, was an amalgamated legion of 6 auxiliary cohorts, called the Legio X Fretensis. The main bulk of this legion was made up of soldiers from a then-disbanded unit, the Legio Germanicus. It's perfectly possible that Jesus was the son of your typical blond-haired, blue-eyed Teutonic tribal warrior. Mary is also likely to have been fair-skinned, as many women from that area still are. Lighter-skinned women have always had more "value" in cultures where skin tones vary greatly, and it's possible that Mary was the daughter of a noble, well-to-do family. Combine this with a blonde-haired blue-eyed gene, and there you have the very real possible description of Jesus. | |||

Fuck have to make the mini series a 18 rating if that happened "Jesus' mother must have been a Jewish woman (who would have had dark hair, eyes etc) otherwise he would not have been considered to be Jewish himself. All research carried out into what Jewish people from that geographic region would have looked like at the time, points to very dark hair, eyes and olive skin. Depictions of the version we're familiar with only become evident after the Romans and co. adopted Christianity and it spread West. The Romans also did things like switch the birth to the period that was previously Saturnalia. Again, evidence suggests around April or May, not December. | |||

"Isn't Christ depicted as having brown hair and beard. Never seen any image of him blonde and fair. I know early images of him showed lots of variety. But in more modern eras he's been depicted as brown hair, brown beard, typically Mediterranean, Robert Powell in Jesus's of Nazareth kind of look. Mrs x" He's often portrayed with lily white skin and blue eyes in Christian imagery and some include light brown/dark blonde hair. As a Semitic Jew from the 1st century, he would not have had long flowing hair like a Medieval monk, nor a long flowing beard. The infant Jesus is frequently depicted as whiter than white and yes, with blonde hair. The most widely published image of Jesus is "Head of Christ" by Sallman and it has a blue eyed, white European appearance. More recent TV and films stuff has made more of an effort to be realistic but throughout most of history, depictions have been Westernised because the people drawing/painting them have invented their own version. And other stuff too. | |||

"Seems people are leaving Netflix in their droves due to what Elon musk describes as the woke mind virus. Every program now seems to be so top heavy to meet their agenda's that it feels forced. Don't believe me just search overwoke Google. " I stopped watching law and order around season 19 as each episode seemed to be delivering some kind of message, I've noticed the same in other shows like 911 lonestar | |||
