It's a little more complex than the picture people paint. It is pretty much "go woke, go broke" but that isn't because woke movies necessarily will not make money. It has more to do with the fact that a company that has adopted "woke values" one of those being the belief that merit is white supremacy (or something like that), is enormously destructive to the enterprise. Of course that company will then go on to make "woke movies" but the bigger crime is that the people making the movies aren't even qualified to write, direct, or produce these movies, so the whole thing collapses. In other words, if you take a really talented team and say "hey, your movie has to include a few things...there has to be a black character, one of the characters has to be gay, and there has to be a woman in a prominent position of authority" that team will probably be able to create a good movie.

Even imposing that limit on them will piss them off though and if they're good enough, they don't need to put up with you doing that shit to them. Result? You chase the talent off. But nevertheless, that team can probably pump out some good product and if you keep them happy, they'll keep making you money...That team though will probably not be a trans white guy, a black asexual woman, a 300 lbs. lesbian, a person in a wheelchair, etc. Chances are it's going to be like 6 white guys and maybe, MAYBE a girl who is functionally like a guy and that is just not an acceptable team makeup for a company like Disney or any woke company for that matter. Shit, they tried to oust Sam Altman from OpenAI because the idea of another white guy (yes, he's Jewish, but his skin color is white) being associated with a major technological breakthrough was unbearable. The people behind this shit would rather see the world burn to ash than their "woke" bullshit worldview proved wrong.
