Is everyone going mad?


Really, joke aside, have the movie world really went mad?

The Oscars and Golden Globes used to give the awards to some of the best performances and movies that changed the world forever.
Now we have this movie that is about to blow them away and win a lot of awards.
Forget the agenda, forget everything. Are we really going mad?

Is everything about race/gender now?

To be fair, all these awards in showbiz used to mean something 60 years ago. But the problem is, they have always been a popularity contest, as well as being rigged in favor of whoever kissed the behinds of the award-givers the most. There are some actors in the past who have actually refused Oscar awards, because they saw them for what they really were: a chance for Hollywood to glorify itself and get attention on tv, not really to praise the best and brightest in film-making.

It's really weird.

There was a time in recent history, when forces were rising up. Black people were treated badly and racistically, so they rose up and Martin Luther King preached very truthful words: it doesn't matter what someone's skin color is, people should only be judged by their character.

Justice is supposed to be BLIND for a reason.

Now Justice is ALL-seeing, ALL-noticing, and ALL-judging based on things you can't change about your temporary body.

Race didn't, and shouldn't matter, but now it's the BIGGEST thing that matters, besides gender, of course.

They flipped the script completely!

As far as gender goes.. in the 1960s, there was hope, that people would finally be FREE and EQUAL.

However, only WOMEN got to be free and equal, men are _STILL_ stuck.

Men still pay the alimonies, men still go to wars to murder other young men mercilessly. Men still take care of the infrastructure, men are still the ones constantly being told to MAN UP and men are the ones NOT ALLOWED to like bright colors or wear dresses, unless they are gay.

Women are allowed to be big children and have temper tantrums even when arrested by cops, men aren't.

Women get away with literal murder by SHEDDING ENOUGH TEARS so the judges can't punish them - men can't do that.

Women can do Onlyfans and earn millions by laying on their back in front of the camera, men DO NOT HAVE THAT OPTION in any real way (sure, men could do that for GAY MEN, but that's it.. women don't pay to see a dik).

How can they STILL claim genders are just a social construct and think you can change it just by deciding something or by mutilating your genitals with a knife? How can people be this ignorant?

When men's and women's psychology REMAINS completely different! When men's and women's biological body structure, including 'gravity point' or whatever it's called, CANNOT BE CHANGED BY SURGERIES and remains completely different.

Men are still taller than women, and women WANT taller men...

Why is this, and HOW can it be, if gender is just a social construction?

Why do women get BBLs and think men want those, when in every survey, men say they prefer the natural look?

It's like.. REALITY completely contradicts all these feminist cliché claims, but yet we still have them, and men are STILL NOT LIBERATED AT ALL?

Where is men's liberation? Women were liberated in the 1960s and 1970s, when is men's turn? Why are men still the workhorses and slaves of this world, while women can just be an NPC in tiktok and gain millions of dollars by saying 'woof woof' all day long?

Where is the equality, why can't BOTH be liberated?

Why? Honestly, why?

Nah. Award shows have pandered to demographics for a LONG time. They just don't bother trying to hide it now.

I heard it was not that good.
