Why Dredd is a Masterpiece - 10 years later

@vinslungur I agree. Political correctness—especially in its subgenre of wokism—has been around for a long time. Wokism tends to be more emotionally charged, while traditional PC culture aimed at rational fairness. But the real issue isn’t just the politics—it’s the writing. Take Charlie's Angels for example. It worked because: A) The women were appealing to male audiences (let’s not pretend otherwise), and B) They were exceptional individuals—clearly capable and deserving of more than the system allowed. It wasn’t pushing the idea that all women are badass, but that these specific women were—and they deserved respect based on merit. That’s a very different message from modern narratives where the character’s gender or identity is the character, and we’re expected to applaud on that basis alone. This is the core problem: modern wokism often relies on ideological placeholders instead of actual storytelling. It's not that people hate empowered women—it’s that they hate bad writing. It’s like some modern Westerns or parodies: instead of crafting a real villain, you just put him in a black hat and say, “he’s the bad guy.” Now it’s, “he’s a man, so he’s the problem.” It feels less like storytelling and more like a sermon—and that’s a failure of craft, not just politics. Honestly, it might reflect a deeper issue in the education system: if writers aren’t trained to build compelling, complex characters, ideology becomes a crutch.
