I've been watching Xena, and while it's an enjoyable show, it's hard to get over the very blatant progressive, feminist agenda. As a character Xena is clearly a girlboss power fantasy, beating up and upstaging men in nearly every episode. They even include a male comic relief character (Joxer) who exists solely to make men look more laughable and incompetent next to Xena. She also has several non-white sexual partners, and there's a strongly implied lesbian relationship with Gabrielle. Nevertheless the show was quite successful.

I guess people weren't really bothered by this stuff at the time? Very odd as this show would be thoroughly mocked and derided if it were released today.

Boomers are the ultimate degenerates. Why do you think everything is the way it is now? The "woke" shit was being planted all the way back in the late 60's and early 70's. It's just been drip fed slowly throughout the decades while they were starting to become the authority. Once they had full control they unleashed their full plan of faggotry.

>>220444852
It's not feminist, it's about a sexy warrior woman who kills bad guys. She "upstages" men because she's one of the strongest warriors on Earth. But she gets beaten by Hercules in all of their encounters, and there are other men like Ulysses who could easily keep with her and were her equal in battle.
As for her "non-white" sexual partners, she has a relationship with one (1) black man because he's a powerful warrior and she likes powerful warriors. Aside from that she had a lesbian relationship with an asian chick that teaches her kung fu, and another lesbian relationship with a black chick who taught her the neck cut off the airflow technique. With the exception of Gabrielle, she only sleeps with people who are as strong as her or who have something valuable to teach her. Xena is just a bisexual warrior who likes other warriors.

There's a difference between making an original ground up female power fantasy and from trying to change an existing male led franchise into a female power fantasy. Audiences liked buffy, and Xena, and charmed , kill bill etc, because they were their own things and sold themselves honestly

>>220444852
90's Woke was called Political Correctness, named after the Communist phrase of the same name. Herbert Marcuse had identified the Feminist movement as possibly the most important tool to push Communism several decades earlier. Many shows in the 90's pushed some form of subversion and Xena was the in your face grrl pwr show of its day. White men were wimps and gay. Non white men, especially blacks and Hispanics were ultra sexy. Xena even met a woman who had a child with a centar and had to save her from persecution. The 90's was the ramp up in politically correct culture before it was totally unrestrained in later decades.

People didn't give a fuck back then because most people were "color blind." I.E. Just treat everybody the same.
But now that's racist. "Silence is violence." If you don't openly hate whites and apologize for being white, you're a nazi.
Of course I'm sure how you can see how the normalization of that mindset pissed quite a few people off.

This.
Things are worse now more than ever, but it has always been there. Woke used to be Politically Correct. Complaining about shows being racist and sexist was always a thing.
It's just that they were more dependent on costumers, so they had to scale it back a bit, unlike now where they just don't give a shit about alienating anyone.

Xena, along with Buffy and Voyager, were among the 1st push for nascent 'woke' in the 90's. I wouldnt watch any of them then because I could see what they were trying to install. Sadly, it just grew from there, because people are dumb.
>>
>>220445101
Pretty much this
A lot of people saw the third Star Wars as opening the floodgates, when Lea rescues herself strangling Jabba, an absurd impossible thing and the beginning of subversion.
An interesting thing to note, in almost every single movie since then, a woman slaps one of the primary males. It's actually nuts when you look for it how common this is.

God you niggers are insufferable.

Literally one of the greatest Jewish heroes is the bitch that kills her captor one of the books. It's all based on that, of being in chains and freeing yourself. That's what Samson is about. And Xena was just the parallel show to Hercules. Both were made at the same time, one with a man and one with a woman. It's a Masonic thing. Low IQ people just wouldn't understand.
>>
>>220444852
Xena was a unique character, now it's a mandated thing to empower women because feminists took over and women need tv programs to tell them how smart they are.
>>
>>220444852
People might laugh at your zealotry and strictness someday too. Boomers would watch women kiss and get boners and drool. They would say hell yes I am watching this feminist show, because of its wholesomeness, its creative, its more interesting than dumb stuff like Full House, it has cool effects (we were easier to please). Even we would see a Buffy and become obsessed with it and even make fanfiction about it. Women were much MUCH MUCHHHH easier to take back then.

We would be feminist because all it meant was more jobs for women, more money, our ladies can wear sexy leather and show more skin and the worst thing they did was gush about their feelings or asshole men and other men can easily step back and say "YEAH! I guess lots of men CAN be AHoles!" so even males would listen to Tori Amos or L7.

The big difference is women are saying men are assholes while in the power position in society and never saying "we love men we love sex" now they say that while also being shitty and lame.

>>220444924
>even the word "woke" didn’t exist back then
Wrong. This word existed in the early 20th century during the jim crow era before dirty cumskins changed the definition to that of a slur to further their agenda.
>>
at the time it was seen as fair play to let women have a bit of feminism, because it wasn't visibly ruining society yet.
Plus, the women were sexy.

a lot of boomers were hippies or too busy living their lives to worry about niggers kissing a white woman on tv in a fictional story. the difference today is that millennials and later generations are so coddled and their lives are so comfortable that niggers kissing white women matters to them. either because their parents taught them that they're so perfect and special that they can get any oneitis they want (but don't) or they don't have real problems to worry about because mommy and daddy or the government subsidize their entire existence behind a computer screen and when they don't get what they want they act out by latching onto retarded shit like niggers kissing celebrities that are out of reach anyway or women that were never actually interested in someone who doesn't leave the cum crusted computer.

plus the effect of social media insulating and amplifying the echoed opinions of butthurt losers who don't want to get a job, leave the house or talk to a woman.

>>220444852
Of course many people felt disgusted but they had no way to express it because racism bad. They were afraid of being viewed as racists, sexists, etc so they just hide their disgust. But then the internet allowed them to share their rage to the world and they found many people were angry too so they didn't feel as bad for being chuds and start to go further. That's how we reach our current state. Libs thought by showing niggers on tv and movies people would stop being racist but instead they learn to be hypocrites

It feels really strange because I swear feminists denounced "fake" strong female characters like Xena and Buffy as being sexist in the 2000s and 2010s.

Hollywood isn't doing themselves any favors producing woke bullshit. as a younger millennial, almost zoomer, i feel like i have my foot on one side and one on the other.
grew up with TV and Hollywood for entertainment. now i just watch YouTube and Twitch and will sometimes watch new movies if they peak my interest.
I only assume newer generations like Gen Z and Gen Alpha are growing up totally disconnected from legacy Hollywood entertainment industry crap. and its a good thing too because all they are producing is FAGGOT SHIT.
Its like Hollywood shouldn't be playing these games because they don't have a monopoly on the entertainment industry like they use to and the more you get people rolling their eyes for your LBBQ bullshit agenda's they will just go somewhere else.

I'm speaking generally. OP said "did boomers just not care about wokeness" the implication being that back then these issues of wokeness and political correctness weren't at play. I'm saying they were. I don't remember if there was any upheaval about Xena specifically but Mike Pence notoriously cried about Mulan because he thought it would encourage women to join the army, and lots of people hated the Simpsons because it portraited Homer as the dumb husband and Bart as shit head while Marge was level headed and Lisa smart. There was plenty of that sort of stuff going on back then.

Depending on the movie if it's about a crew who goes to space and fights an army of martians I expect a female role to include action and good lines, anything but being there, vanish from the movie, show up again as background, get scared by something vanish again, the end

You may think those movies are crap but is the crap I watched, they took many liberties but damn it treated women like a piece of furniture

You're kinda retarded, In the 60's the seeds planted by left over members of the school of Frankfurt gained traction, the fruits started to grow. George Soros and others tried to force Socialism in the West end sought to use Blacks as the worker class only, thst backfired because Blacks tended to be more traditional family than anyone which i s why LBJ pushed the state nanny funds only, women weren't to have a male presence in the home and she got more Gibbs the more kids she had.

The only movie I remeber the female characters doing things not being to there to sex it up is fucking pussycat kill kill kill and is a DAMN RUSS MEYER MOVIE

They drive fucking cars they do karate and have lines they look in charge of shit, I remember watching anything else and the female lead is sort of just there being a chore getting lost making me scream at them about their poor choices

woke has been around since the early 90s, it used to be a term black people would use to make fun of afrocentrists
>>
>>220444852
The difference is that back then they were actual characters and not just shoehorned in for the sake of representation or diversity. They had motivation, and purpose, skills, and dialogue and backstories that fit into the universe or story line. Race or skin color, or nationally, or ethnicity, or sexuality, or gender identity were almost never mentioned. We had a good run from probably the late 70s up to the early aughts, or 2010 at most, where race or sexuality or gender wasn't the focus of characters or our media.

Another annoying thing about current media is that irl we don't talk about this shit at all. I'm in a major U.S. city and no one fucking talks about being gay or trans, or black, or white, Asian, or Latino, or Christian, or Jewish, or Muslim at all 99% of our conversations and interactions are about anything but identity. Roommates, friends, lovers, coworkers, classmates, neighbors, family, etc. People just live their lives and get along with each other and aren't talking about the oppression Olympics all the time.

Things Zoomies will never understand:
>Back then only 'activist' idiots even gave a fuck about politics. To normies it was boring gay shit that nobody gave much of a fuck about, and they enjoyed not giving a fuck about it day-to-day. That's because it didn't really affect their lives that much, and they'd just go to the voting booth more out of a civic duty, and pick a giant douche or a shit sandwich every few years if they were so inclined.

>Wars and conflicts between uncivilised Third-World shitheads were confined to their Third World shitholes. Immigrants mostly shut their fucking mouths and tried to integrate as best they could rather than protesting in the streets and clashing with other Third World shitholers they had some ancient beef with on our streets. I loved not giving a single fuck about Israel or Palestine or whatever retards were fighting their non-stop unresolvable ancient feuds. Shit was SO cash. Maybe the First World politicians, (see above), would occasionally intervene and tell them to pipe down, or bomb them back to the Stone Age - but their shit was mostly kept over there.

>Women who were strong or badass like Xena were hot because it was obviously the opposite to reality, something different, and kinda cool. That's different to an annoying CURRENT YEAR 'muh boss babe' Third Reich feminist cunt. It's the difference between a tom boy who is actually into geek shit and can hang out in the treehouse as 'one of the boys', and a cunt feminist fake 'girl gamer' OF thot who wants to run the treehouse, whine about shit she's offended by, and install lace curtains and hate speech policies.

>Dumb husbands/men like Homer Simpson were funny back then because again, it's the opposite to reality. Go watch the Honeymooners you fuckin' n00b, which was basically transferred to TV from preexisting live acts from Vaudeville and shit going back to day dot:

We weren't, we actively liked it. The reason zoomers don't is because the Heritage Foundation and various oligarchs poured upwards of a few billion dollars into shilling and convincing impressionable kids that perfectly normal or at least neutral things ranging from homosexuality to transsexuals to equality to porn are le bad because it doesn't conform to their worthless and primitive religion. You've all been gaslit into harming yourselves and adopting chud beliefs by people who want to make you into slaves and that have already made the world a worse place for everyone.

As for Xena and such, we all liked it. Because nobody was a sensitive clitoris that took offense at everything or anything or bothered much about masculinity. Obsessing over masculinity is a peculiar zoomer phenomenon.

>>220444852
as a gen x oldfag I’ll give my two scents. 90s media was a LOT more conservative than contemporary media, but it was still “woke” even in contrast with the 80s. Devon Stack is a whiny faggot but he’s absolutely right about “the gay 90s” you started seeing more fags, more feminism, more race shit. Star Trek in the 90s was a hack offender, sitcoms were slowly normalizing fags (although troons were mostly still a punchline) as others have stated workism (judeo-Marxism) has been around for a while, even pre ww2 if you want to talk about Magnus Hirschfield. And honestly a lot of us barely noticed it, it was more suitable generally, nons and fags were “just like us” in a lot of ways that was more insidious.

It's not just boomers. A lot of younger anons have AGP because they grew up watching Xena, Buffy, Kill Bill, Battlestar Galactica and always played as female characters in games and thought The Boss in MGS3 was the coolest character ever despite being a textbook example of the Mary Sue Girlboss so they're a lot more perceptive to this idea that girls get it done. Meanwhile I've literally never once thought girls weren't lame and boring and this didn't change even after I started fucking them. My favorite characters were always male, my favorite movies always had badass male protagonists and I always picked a badass dude to play as in games and I was more than fine with DBZ not having any relevant female fighters and didn't go crying about muh soggy knees Japs on English speaking forums with all the other AGP weebs. Women are fine as supporting characters and eye candy for men as God intended.

The post ww1 and post Ww2 eras had a lot of cringe-inducing globalist messages in their movies, pushing for a one world order and abolishing nationhood to attain world peace. I understand why people felt that way after such a devastating conflict but watching them now it makes me roll my eyes.

>>220453755
To be fair, the 'enlightened' take was always more of a lolbert type view where if some faggot wants to wear a dress, then that doesn't give you the right to drag him behind your pickup truck regardless of how much you understandably feel like doing so - an extension of Free Speech, ('free expression' which is a bit of word kikery in itself you'll notice), because you can't use physical violence against someone who says or does shit you personally, subjectively don't like. That's technically the correct position, but the tagline of the time was, "As long as they don't make [being gay] compulsory". The faggots pushed that too far when they tried to make it compulsory, (with pronouns and trannies in sports and shit), and now all bets are off.

It's kinda the same problem as the Lolbert position on drugs and putting whatever you want into your own body. That would be perfectly fine if addicts didn't have a tendency to make their drug addiction everyone else's problem, by using your taxes to pay for their needles, clogging up the streets with meth zombies, and stealing your car stereo to buy drugs. Sure you can't magically make people stop taking drugs by making it illegal, but you can make their dumb choices legally not your fucking problem and actionable when addicts and their shit fucks with productive normal people. If you can take drugs 'responsibly' without it becoming my problem then good luck I guess, (which was basically the prior state of affairs even if not explicitly stated or designed that way, and faggots had to hide it).

The problem is the same because commie faggots don't believe in 'sticks and stones' and can't tolerate you liking what they don't like. Ironic that Democrats can't even do democracy properly. That's why you need a Right Wing that puts the boot on them until they are they ones screaming for 'muh freedom' - at least in terms of lip service - because once they're in power they suddenly wont be so hot on the idea.

There are some noble ideals in old shit, like Star Trek is fundamentally post-scarcity which would be 'nice' and result in a 'political singularity' rendering the capitalism/communism debate moot, (though the former will get you there quicker, and the latter may never get you there).

I always liked 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' where they build all-powerful independent robuts to protect interplanetary sovereignty, (enforced Prime Directive), which is echoed in a lot of stories of the period:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASsNtti1XZs

Even in the Twilight Zone episode 'To Serve Man' the alien speaks of impenetrable shields that can protect entire nations.
Like Reagan's 'Star Wars' programme which was supposed to be an impenetrable defence for the US and better than 'Mutual Assured Destruction' with nukes, so you can understand the sentiment.

It's a nice dream that doesn't require hippie-dippy shit where everyone decides to hold hands underneath a rainbow and a one-world government where you're obligated to all agree on the same way of life. Any Lolbert worth his salt would unilaterally impose a system like this upon the world quicker than Light Yagami on steroids if he were given the opportunity, and then let the cards fall where they may. That wouldn't be as bad as you might think, especially if you had individual skin-tight shields like a 'Bellero Shield' so the only way anyone could deal with anyone else would be on a mutually voluntary basis, (more or less, you'd need some other solutions to go along with it to avoid exploits like 'Pool's Closed'):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzaaRuqZtrU

ie. Just because something sounds like gay commie shit, or gay commies like the idea, doesn't mean that it actually is, or that's necessarily what previous generations had in mind at the time.

>"Communism would be a wonderful success if only every Communist had two servants to do the work for him." - George Bernard Shaw

>learly a girlboss power fantasy, beating up and upstaging men in nearly every episode
It's okay when it is not in literally everything, all the time.
And it was as much a sex fantasy for men as it was a power fantasy for women.
Also it was a silly pulp fantasy show. It did not pretend to be depict real history or tried to be politically impactful. It tried to be entertain you not, propagandize to you.
That's the difference.

It’s a lot easier to tolerate media mocking you and shitting on you when your sitting on a hundred thousand dollars of home equity, making $10 an hour ($40 in today’s money) and your kids still get to go to an 80% white school.
Don’t get me wrong, boomers paid a price for the subversion they tolerated via their wives divorcing them at unprecedented rates and their kids coming back from college Marxist and gay but back in the 1990s??
All the shit like Xena seemed relatively harmless and non-threatening.
People who actually se themselves as “””privileged””” have a lot easier time taking a joke at their own expense.
It’s only after 2008 people really got burned out on the whole thing with the housing bubble collapsing and king nigger telling white people how easy they had it as they hopped from motel room to motel room looking for a place to rent.

This. I don’t know how everyone forgot that the Hercules formula was “Kevin Sorbo fights a monster and has sex with a princess, oh and maybe Bruce Campbell tells a joke”. Then IMMEDIATELY after that show it was “Hot babes swinging swords and almost making out with each other”. You can’t look at Xena in a vacuum. Herc was the main course, Xena was dessert.

That's exactly why it was a cultural phenomenon, because there wasn't many fantasy content to choose from in pre-Internet era.
There were the normalfag sitcoms, the cop shows, the space shows and Xena/Herc.

Nobody would care if Xena and Gabrielle were dykes - the show is silly fun made for teenagers. Fantasy show with hot chicks lezzing out was the norm back then.

>>220444852
It was fine. I think you're missing the vital tonal difference between:
>something with stong, capable female characters in leading roles
vs
>something with female characters in leading roles who can't stop telling you how strong they are and how much better than men they are. Also, they're never wrong and are basically perfect.
The former is perfectly fine, and Xena was the former. She was an imperfect character trying to redeem herself after having done a lot of bad things in her past as a bandit. The accountability and self-reflection she possessed in doing so made her easily likable.

On top of that, it had hot women presented in hot clothing with some fanservice scenes here and there. Yes, it had non-traditional aspects to it, but it never bothered me because the show never presented itself as condescending and telling me, "You should be like this," like much of the shit today does. I don't give a fuck if there's a black dude in the show or if a black dude is one of Xena's many sexual partners because it wasn't "this black dude is better than this other white dude" as some sort of message to the audience. There wasn't some overt social message being crammed down your throat that was the express purpose of the show. It was just a show that was made to be enjoyable to watch. Not to mention, Hercules was released in tandem with it.
>>
I think they just didn’t get brain rotted by pornography before there were even old enough to date, so they’re just less insecure about these things.
>>
>>220452252
I get what you're saying, however,
>girlboss
I only think of this as the fake cool female characters where the writers try to force the idea that these characters are powerful, likable, and/or correct in whatever argument is taking place in the story. Meanwhile, the characters are actually some combination of: annoying, incompetent, loudmouthed, obnoxious, unbelievable, retarded, and whatever else I'm forgetting to include. The unbelievable aspect is a big component of it, and they're typically unlikable as well. The writing surrounding these characters is also cringeworthy dogshit geared towards preaching to the audience.
Selene wasn't that. She was a believable character that was easy to like, and she had an interesting backstory that served as part of her motivations. There was no message to it.

I will disagree and say that while not caring about realism is true, it's still important to have your characters be believable. It's difficult to watch someone small throw around people twice their size without the notion of some sort of special enhancement (Vampirisim, in this case). That's true for both males and females. If you give me no reason as to why a thin woman or a guy who weighs 120lbs is throwing linebackers around, I'm going to think that shit is silly, and it's gonna take me out of what I'm watching because you failed to suspend disbelief, not because it's simply unrealistic.

I've got nothing against interracial couples but it's disgusting how much it's pushed on British TV. And it's almost always white woman and black man. If a white guy is in a relationship, he's usually a fool who will likely get cucked by his flakey gf/wife.

100%. Not to mention, if they did cast a black woman to get paired with a white guy, I'd expect (on American television anyway; not sure whether this parallels to the UK) her to be ugly as fuck with nasty hair instead of someone who's actually attractive. I miss when they cast hot black actresses.

It’s literally just because the women were hot. Most men are pathetic simps tbqh, if you put a pair of big sweaty tits on the screen they’ll be willing to overlook whatever jew propaganda you’re forcefeeding them. Just look at this board, twitter, /v/ etc and all the fucking morons declaring “woke is dead” because the japs are shitting out media full of big anime tits (or vice versa, look at all the retards who decry something as being woke because the women DONT have big tits even if the story is completely apolitical).
Jews will realize this reality again soon enough, and big titted bimbo actresses will come back in style, but the substance of the propaganda won’t change.

This.

Literally nobody even noticed that love interests in Arnie's films weren't white because it didn't matter and it wasn't even made into a thing:
https://youtu.be/Ayu3fsxw2K0?t=88

And there's nothing funny about a dickless moron with a battery up his ass, (even the heavy accent didn't really register):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyMhf7xHZ7w

>>220450408
The problem is when it's forced. Nobody gave a shit because non-whites in film and TV weren't disproportionate to the percentage of the population, and they only used non-whites with actual talent.

It became obvious and offensive in film and TV, (in more ways than one), when the women were fat and ugly, (and didn't belong in front of a camera lens any more than I do). Then it went to ludicrous speed when that included the meritless Affirmative Action hires behind the camera who didn't even have the talent to write or visually sell the dreck they were putting out.

It's the same reason that while forced memes are obvious and risible shit, forced memes by plebbitors are painful and unfunny to a degree that you upchuck them on sight. We are now at Elizabeth Warren 'Meme Team' levels of incompetence in this analogy.

'Red Dwarf' was my favourite show back in the early 90's and I swear it never even occurred to me that Lister wasn't white, or the percentage of non-whites on the show. Nobody ever mentioned it. Nobody cared. There was nothing remarkable about it. It was just a funny as fuck show with truly talented actors. True 'colourblindness' in the proper sense.

Now in the 2000's I have commie faggots telling me I'm a 'racist', and holding a ticker tape parade every time they have the 'first woman of colour' in TV and film and I'm supposed to get on my knees and lick up that obvious horseshit like a dog? And telling them to get fucked makes me 'even more' racist? Get fucked.

Zoomies don't realise that politics isn't so much like a pendulum, but more like a lava lamp. Groups change, move, break apart and connect. It's true everchanging chaos where things are different in the details, yet very 'samey' overall.
>eg. Issues can fade or come to the forefront, attitudes can horseshoe, and parties can completely switch sides, (which was the party of the 'working man' again?)

The result is you can extract fundamental principles, but you can't look at history through the CURRENT YEAR lens, (the biggest n00b mistake). You need the overall picture to interpret shit correctly. Like you may think laws were somehow 'oppressive' in the past, but then when they are rescinded you slowly discover why they existed in the first place, or rather RE-discover what your ancestors knew but was forgotten over time.

Are you getting a clue why women weren't in charge of shit yet? It wasn't just 'muh Patriarchy', they really can't handle it, and laws become about feels instead of principles. Are you getting a clue why Third World countries tend to be corrupt shitholes yet? It sure as fuck isn't the White First World's fault. Are you getting a clue why faggots were reviled, (yet somehow nobody was burning obvious flaming homos like Elton John at the stake)? No matter how they try to rewrite history about 'muh homophobia' now.

Your ancestors weren't stupid, and arguably had more common sense than you do. There was a reason for everything going back to day dot that made plenty of sense at the time, and often still does. It's just n00bs in their naive arrogance somehow think they are the only enlightened ones and want to change the world without understanding that first.

In the old days a lot of the gay shit on film and TV might have been subtextual, so you could take it or leave it, (not the worst equilibrium). Compare that to now where it's shoved down your throat even though normal people are heterosexual precisely because that shit grosses them out.

Irony.

Most Boomers wouldn't, (and didn't), fuck a different race, yet you Zoomies wouldn't hesitate to stick your dick in some quadroon. No 'one-drop' rule for you fags.

That's the way it was always destined to go though. You only need a few interracial pairings to generate the diluted shit nobody winds up caring about unless they're a total sperg. Inevitable in a 'small world', just like the hafu kids you got from American GIs interacting with Japan due to WWII. How many hypocrites on here have a terminal case of Yellow Fever and would have done it too?

Next thing you know Superman is quarter Japanese and you are just now noticing over three decades later, but retards on one side are still herp-durring about 'muh racism' and pushing extreme interracial couples, while the rest of the hypocrites are lusting after quads and octos without even knowing they're not 100% White.
PROTIP: It's not the integration that's the actual problem, it's the FORCED integration and association that creates unnecessary friction, (and shitty entertainment) - and it always was.

The BLM type shit has been going on since before the civil war. The idea that it was ever dead is wrong.
