The never-ending battle against woke Hollywood and SJW infused entertainment media [trigger warning]

I'm not surprised at all

 

"By doing this we will be more accurate and respectful".
Yeah, sure.

 

I suspect Wookiepedia was trolled.

 

This is probably Tin Foil Hat, but in today's climate, I can't be 100% sure.

 

I fear the man in this video completely misunderstands how the alpha/beta thing breaks down.

Essentially this breaks down to mating strategy and doesn't really involve politics. These distinctions were created by men who wanted to get laid more.

Alphas are men who seek to attract mates by showcasing their physical superiority or faking physical superiority with bravado.

Betas are men who seek to attract mates by showcasing their ability as a resource provider or faking their ability as a resource provider by taking out debt to buy fancy clothes and cars they cannot afford.

Sigmas combine the best of both traits alphas and betas, but are way better dude bro. You can be a sigma male if you buy my series of videos for $499.99 and subscribe to my newsletter for $49.99/month!

Omega males are males that lack the ability to showcase their physicality like an alpha and don't have the financial power of a beta, but no one is stuck as an Omega, since every Omega male has a Sigma male waiting to come out, dude bro. You can be a sigma male if you buy my series of videos for $499.99 and subscribe to my newsletter for $49.99/month!

A gamma male is a man that tries to attract mates by being romantic and sensitive. But due bro, you really should be a sigma male. You can be a sigma male if you buy my series of videos for $499.99 and subscribe to my newsletter for $49.99/month!

A delta male is an average male (or even above average) leading a balanced life that probably still has trouble attracting women. But dude bro, Deltas can easily transform themselves into sigmas. You can be a sigma male if you buy my series of videos for $499.99 and subscribe to my newsletter for $49.99/month!

A few places have talked about Zeta males. A Zeta male is married to their job or married to their hobby. Often an example is the Wright Brothers who were lifelong bachelors. Wilbur write said he could have a wife or an airplane, not both. But dude bro, Sigmas can have a wife and an airplane. You can be a sigma male if you buy my series of videos for $499.99 and subscribe to my newsletter for $49.99/month!

I actually never heard of delta or gamma males until I saw the video that PP posted, so I googled the terms and the articles I found describing them actually linked to an advertisement for a sigma male program, just as I predicted.

Anyway the Youtube video above has the following premise.

1-The alpha/beta/sigma nomenclature is a full of crap. True

2-The people who use the terms alpha, beta, and sigma tend to be on the Right side of the political spectrum. Half True, but only because lonely Leftists that have trouble getting laid use a different mating strategy than lonely Rightwingers.

3-By virtue of two wrongs make a right, this means that Right wingers should not criticize the Left artificially creating social construct genders. False.

I will point out that most men on the Right who happen to be married, often like to say that the alpha/beta categorization system is full of crap.

Anyway, based on his premise, he uses some faulty logic to come to conclusion that the Right invented a stupid arbitrary system of divisions for gender roles therefore those on the Right have no basis for criticizing the arbitrary system of divisions for gender roles created by Leftists.

Just like I'm against Communism and Fascism, I am against dumb ideas from the Left and I am against dumb ideas from the Right.

In my opinion, it just so happens that right now, in the United States, the neo-Marxists and idiot Leftists happen to have more political power and media influence than the neo-Fascists and idiot Right wingers.

If the pendulum swings too far the other direction, I will switch sides because I do not want either side of the political aisle to win. I want both political parties to check the worst impulses of the other party while they reluctantly hash out common sense legislation across the political aisle.



Also, the CCP is the greatest threat to the environment, basic human rights and the liberal world order, but the CCP isn't actively ruining Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Willow, Tomb Raider, the Muppets, LOTR, D&D, He-Man, the Witcher, DC, Marvel, and Scooby Doo. Woke politics and Borg like corporations are ruining these things.

EDIT: I suppose there is something called the horseshoe theory that states that at a certain point Far Right governments and Far Left governments start to resemble each other. I would argue that Putin is a Far Right dictator and Winnie the Pooh is a Far Left dictator but they both manufacture oppression and aggression.

Putin is a serious threat to Eastern Europe and the CCP is a serious threat to the entire world.

 

One of the reasons I'm not a business tycoon like Nelson Peltz is because I am too risk averse.

Even if gets on the board against all the headwinds, he will face headwinds on the board. And assuming he gets a new CEO in place, the new CEO might have his own flaws different from Iger but still bad, and remember Disney is full of Iger's ideological sympathizers that will fight any meaningful change tooth and nail.

If I had hundreds of millions of dollars and a desire to un-woke the media, I'd fund one of Disney's competitors rather than try to fix Disney.

 

I recommend you broaden your horizons. Remember that George Lucas himself wanted to make Flash Gordon movies, but he couldn't so he chose to make a spiritual successor to Flash Gordon. There is a spiritual successor to Star Wars out there. I myself am working on spiritual successor to Tolkien (admittedly that is a more crowded market than Star Wars spiritual successors).

Blizzard wanted to make a Warhammer 40K computer game but couldn't get the rights, so they made Starcraft as a spiritual successor, which while not quite as cool as 40K, was still pretty damn cool.

Don't do it blindly. Mortal Engines and Jupiter Descending are new IPs that were lousy. So find a few movie loving friends or amateur critics you trust to vet new properties first.

I think you would like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Stardust, and Coraline and these are all stand alone movies, not franchises (though Monty Python is a franchise, I think Holy Grail is by far their best product).

But hey, you do you. If you want to cling to legacy franchises, by all means, do so.

 

Nothing you said is wrong. The problem is there are so many different equally valid or equally invalid ways to apply the "alpha" and "beta" labels that it's not very good nomenclature to use since it means different things to different people.

This is why I don't normally use the terms in everyday conversation.

Watch Gravity Falls. It's a complete series in 40 episodes and it has two things I know you like, lots of meme-able lines and an all powerful chaotic quipping villain.
