Right, spending $4 billion to buy Star Wars then tanking the franchise with 2 woke movies was done to *make* money. https://twitter.com/BasedBorzoi/status/1174311696682430464 …

That would be a way more coherent thesis than "movie remakes are psyops".

Look at the incentives - if you make money who cares? Ah, but if you destroy Star Wars in the name of wokeness you get huge social credit - far better than money When you're a

These two decisions were also likely made by different parts of the company.

Of course. The bankers and financiers who reviewed the deal don't get wokeness points for burning the money - that goes to "creatives". That's the whole crux of it - defecting on the organization for personal profit but the profit is counted in social acclaim rather than money

My point is that type of reasoning makes way more sense than the convoluted conspiracy theory of the linked thread. Which is not to say that reactions aren't being analyzed. But it doesn't require that as the original purpose.

Btw, the logic you guys describe reminds me of discussions of UI designers in cars changing what isn't broken: need something interesting on the resume.

I have always had a really low tolerance for that type of thing. Washing dishes or writing code, if I feel respected and useful I'm happy. If either of those slip I tend to wander off, regardless of career impact.
