No, it's the "current sensibilities" that piss me off because they're just SO fucking stupid. It's all part of a pervasive extreme leftist ideology that is spreading like a cancer through society, mostly propagated by raving lunatics in Californian colleges and pathetic millennials on bloody twitter. As a woman, I have long desired to be properly represented and respected. We have achieved that long ago. I want equality, not superiority, and I sure as hell don't want to be lectured on how to think by a bunch of overpaid Hollywood elites who spend most of their off-screen lives snorting coke, and then criticised by a tribe of twitter retards less than half my age just because I don't share their idiotic opinions. They're just overgrown toddlers who haven't been around long enough to properly learn how life really works. Twitter is not real life. Those idiots really need to put their bloody phones down and go outside for a bit...
All art reflects something of the artist. This is perfectly fine. My objection comes when it is forced upon others at which point it ceases to be art and becomes propaganda. This is no different to religion - my attitude is that I'm happy for everybody to believe whatever they want - just don't ram it down my throat. My words to all religious types is "Don't try to convert me, because you will fail VERY HARD". This applies to all forms of propaganda, of which religion is just one, and this obscene toxic wokeness that's destroyed entertainment since 2016 is another.
Of course there is a place for social commentary in art. What I so strongly despise is the torrent of blind hatred that is hurled by some artists towards those that don't agree with their views. On the whole, I would prefer to keep this stuff out of entertainment and frankly it is a VERY poor business decision to alienate a large proportion of your audience just because you want to indoctrinate them with your political views. I like MY entertainment to be escapist. We all know that the world is going to hell because those running it are clueless morons, but when I watch a movie or a tv show I want to be taken away from that for a while, not have even more of the crap shoved down my throat - I want escapism, not current-year commentary.
And the other thing of course by trying to make everything "relevant" is that when you go back to watch it in, say, ten years time, it's going to look horribly dated and irrelevant.
Firstly I don't believe that I have said that anything you are doing or saying is unacceptable. I would always encourage everybody to create the works that they want to - that is the very essence of what art is all about, and if you have things you want to comment on, then go ahead - that's perfectly fine, but think very carefully if you want to try to change the world with it, because this will ALWAYS result in a very ugly backlash. Don't try to alter peoples' opinions - just say what you want to say and let the audience make their own decisions, and whatever you do, don't insult or name-call those who don't share your own opinions, because that is what is curently destroying entertainment these days.
And as for going back and changing stuff from existing material, I'm dead against that. I hate any form of retconning. How would it be if somebody went back and started rewriting Shakespeare? Or what about retconning Greek and Roman mythology?
Entertainment franchises are modern-day mythologies, and once they have become established within popular culture, you should NOT go back and change things. The biggest problem that Hollywood faces today is just laziness. Rather than create anything new and original, they blatantly rip off other (better) peoples' work and ruin it completely. There are so few good writers left and most of those are just radical idealogues. Also, most tv and movie scripts these days are written by committee - and holy crap it REALLY shows
