It sounds counter-intuitive, and to be sure, it is, but what’s more, is that these folks don’t seem to know just how deep their exclusivity goes. They can decide what constitutes “non-inclusive” on a whim and they do with reckless abandon. If an idea becomes out of vogue for them, they will proceed to cast it and anyone who believes it, into some sort of societal exile.

So radical is their inclusivity that they become the most uninclusive group in society. They are now hyper-exclusive and, dare I say, intolerant.

What makes this really bad is the fact that these people control the major platforms, from Hollywood stage sets to social media websites. Meaning their message of intolerance and exclusivity is the prevailing narrative of the mainstream. You can see this play out quite a bit on social media where only the radical left’s narratives get to flourish while everyone else is punished for holding simple opinions such as “men can’t be women.”

You also see it in the productions that are coming out lately. Studios continue to pump out properties that co-opt popular franchises and timeless classics and make them into leftist message carriers, creating stories and situations that are completely divorced from the respective logics of their universe.

Woke culture, for instance, doesn’t tolerate anything that glorifies masculinity, especially white men. Let’s take the new Halo series from Paramount.

The Halo franchise is one of the most popular in video games history and, as is the trend, a studio wanted to make a live-action series or movie from it as an easy cash-grab. The only issue is that the Master Chief, the main protagonist of the series, is a white man. A series focusing on the Master Chief being a hero to all of mankind may drift a little too close to the woke culture’s no-go zone. So what’s the fix?

You make the Master Chief a sub-character in his own show and make the lead a strong female archetype. Even better, you fill the show with them until the strong female archetype is every other character. It’s a decision that makes many of the females either seem shoehorned into the plot instead of naturally occurring characters.

It’s not that Halo needed help with strong female characters, to begin with. It had its fair share in the story already.

But you can see an interesting result of this forced-in strong female archetype issue. By including only them, they not only water down strong women in the show as being something that’s a dime a dozen, but they exclude the possibility of a show driven by strong men. In a show about a military space force with super soldiers among their ranks, this makes the story seem a bit less substantial.

You’ll find this happening a lot in our current media atmosphere and, as a result, you get the impression that Hollywood is running out of ideas. When you limit yourself to only being able to produce ideas that check off a very specific list of requirements, you exclude ideas that may keep the industry fresh. New stories to tell with compelling characters are thrown out in favor of the same tired tropes with the same tired plotlines.

So we’ve got exclusivity of ideas, races, genders, and even stories, yet we’re supposed to buy this idea that the radical left is inclusive because they say they are?

They’ve got a long way to go to prove to people they are inclusive if they want to sell that to anyone.
