There’s almost nothing that Bari Weiss’ Free Press can’t blame on “wokeness.” A white woman who called a 5-year old black boy the n-word has been flooded with well over $700,000 in donations from white nationalists and other monsters? Blame the “woke left.” Right-wing conspiracy queen Candace Owen is cheering on still-convicted-rapist Harvey Weinstein? Blame the “vigilante[s]” of #MeToo.

A week ago, I wrote a post about the nascent anti-Barbie movie crusade, and I noted that it seemed oddly muted. Well, what a difference a week makes: with the movie actually out this weekend, the anti-Barbie forces have turned up the volume, denouncing the movie as “woke” feminazi garbage that pushes a not-very-secret LGBTQ agenda.

The “get woke, go broke” crowd has egg on its face again, with Disney’s new live-action The Little Mermaid raking in a cool $117 million at the domestic box office and another $68 million internationally over the Memorial Day weekend.

Proving themselves once again to be the most sensitive of snowflakes, right-wing culture warriors are losing it over the portrayal of a character in a video game movie. A couple of days ago, a clip from the new Super Mario Bros Movie hit the internet, featuring Princess Peach confidently making her way past an assortment of enemies and traps, prompting the culture warriors to cry foul, whining that this new “girlboss” Princess was a far cry from the damsel in distress they remembered from the video game.
There’s a new Disney movie coming out in which the cast is not all white, so naturally, the right-wingers are throwing a fit about “wokeness” and the alleged evils of race-mixing–sorry, race-swapping.
Earlier this week, the Mars corporation set off another culture war skirmish by launching a new, all-female package of M&Ms as a way of showing some sort of candy-related solidarity with the women of the world. “We’re celebrating women who are flipping the status quo, transforming the world around them to make it a more colorful and welcoming place for all,” the company declared.
You may have forgotten, but Canadian fusspot and anti-woke warrior Jordan Peterson has a second career as a clinical psychologist. I have no idea if he’s seeing any patients, but he could soon lose the right to due to his sometimes unhinged comments on Twitter and his general obstreperousness.
Yesterday, Scott Adams the Dilbert Guy brought us some truly tragic news:
It’s been a rough couple of days for video game enthusiasts who hate women and scream about things being “woke” all the time. According to a story on Bloomberg this past Wednesday, sources within game developer Rockstar are saying that GTA 6 will have a lady as one of the main characters.
