    I just watched Alien (1979) and the damn democraps made it woke. When I was growing up in the 80’s not everything had to be a social commentary. The cops saved people like in Robocop (1987) and the terrorists were stopped like in Star Wars (1977) because America are the good guys. MAGA!!

    I have never seen doctor who. What I know really doesn’t speak to me, it seems too “random new being is the answer” to me. No hate against the show. I mean, I am fairly certain that I am basically complaining that a romance book is romantic.

    That being said, doctor who seems to be quite obviously saying, be maximally tolerant and fight the tyrants and intolerant. which seems woke at this point.

    When I was a child, we called it, not being a dick, but I guess it is woke now.

      For me Doctor Who is a fun campy show. It’s got some heart that serves as it’s basic message and occasionally more directly deals with contemporary politics, but it’s so silly that it’s hard to take that seriously most of the time.

        I hope I didn’t make you feel like you had to justify your enjoyment of the show.

        My point was, I haven’t seen it but even I picked up on “woke” themes in the show and it is crazy to act like it became “woke”.

      Doctor who has a lot of guest writers and it shows. There’s some really good stuff and then there’s other episodes which really didn’t need to be made.

        Maybe, but then these franchises were woke originally too. RATM also had a song about police being evil in… 1992. Superman’s biggest villain was a billionaire.

        To be clear I don’t consider woke to be a bad thing unlike the person you replied to.

    Uhh… aside from superman (which i haven’t seen and can’t speak to) most of those are fairly “woke”

    Not that I have a problem with that.

      The point is that they’ve always been ‘woke’, and it’s insane that people think that ‘now’ they’ve changed to ‘become’ woke.

          Uh, I don’t know, Facebook possibly? I don’t label the origin of things I download. There seems to be a signature of some sort as ‘SW HG’, look that up, I guess.

      graphics person here - so what you want to get is krita or gimp, krita has better UI, gimp is more versitile. Or photoshop if you feel like uhh, borrowing it from adobe (don’t give them money they have enough)

      • put them meme into the software or your choosing

      • now if you can find a tool that says something like “healing” “spot healing” “patch” or “clone stamp” you can use them to remove the text that’s already there, all those tools work a little differently but can get you where you want to be, so play around with them and find your favourite

      • alternatively if that sounds too advanced you can brute force it, it won’t look as seemless but it will get the job done. make a new layer, select a brush with soft edges and ~80% opacity, and then use the eyedropper tool (usual shortcut should be holding alt and clicking on the colour you want) and remove the text by covering it with the same colour that surrounds it. You’ll notice how eventually the colour you sourced doesn’t blend in, then what you need to do is grab a new colour that’s nearby. Rinse and repeat until fully covered and blended

      • add text

      • if your text overlaps some parts of the image you don’t want it to overlap you might find yourself wanting to erase a bit of it and not being able to. That’s because the text is still text, fully editable. To change that you can either convert it to a normal layer (usually done by right clicking on the text layer and looking for something that says “convert”) or (and that’s the better option if you want to keep the text editable) you can apply a mask onto the text layer (should be a button for it next to “add layer” button), then as you have the mask selected draw with pure black over the elements you don’t want the text to cover

      i’m basing this mini-tutorial on photoshop so exact names and places of the tools you want might be different, but the process should be the same across most if not all image editing software

    Well yeah, they’re all woke now. They used to be woke before too, but they’re still woke now as well, as they should.

        Woken was first used in the 1930s to encourage black Americans and other minority groups to be aware of the prejudice and discrimination against them by white Americans.

        It’s more like the term hadn’t become a catchall phrase for the right to dismiss all forms of injustice without having to engage with the actual issue.

          It’s especially pathetic seeing European right wing politicians use the phrase. It’s always fun to challenge them to define it because they can’t.

    Movies and TV shows are modern art forms, and as such are created by artists.

    Artists have almost always been politically left of centre, usually wildly so.

    Video games have likewise been ‘woke’ for a long fucking time too - but don’t you dare try to make that point to GamersTM.

    It is most as if the ground state of being is Awake.

    Who would have thunk it!?
