Producers choose not to release the new Batgirl movie…anywhere. What got Batgirl flushed down the memory hole marks a hinge moment in the work movement. Bill Whittle and Zo Rachel examine the fundamental violation of human nature that dooms woke-ism.

Sometimes, we’re just tired of always being vulnerable.
90% of Black Rocks funds is government & union pension funds and the pensioners are not able, by law, to move their funds even if the account is making massive losses.
The irony is that there are black dwarves, dark Asiatic elves and enslaved darkish halflings in canon but not in middle earth. They are in far Harad, south, and Far Rhun, east. The halflings are Smeagol’s stoor Hobbits rounded up by Sauron and sold into slavery in Mordor and harad and Rhun. Harad is an analog of the middle east and Africa. Rhun is Mongol and Asia. Beyond Rhun is the lands where the elves were first born and while its conquered and corrupted some still exist in hiding. You also have the Ent wives and the blue Wizards. There is tons of stuff to use and they were so lazy they did not even try. I could write a good script.
Great episode with lots of movie industry insights. Illuminating. Thanks, Gentlemen.
Putting Black Elves into Tolkien is the same thing, the reverse side of the same coin, as casting someone who looks like me (an old white guy of Norse heritage) in the role of an ancient king of Zimbabwe (which was an African continent kingdom in prehistory, not the communist mess Robert Mugabe created in modern Africa and named after it).
Or Zo as the King of Norway …
Or Bill as a Sioux Indian chief …
Or Will Smith as General George Armstrong Custer …
Or Scott Ott as Nanook of the North …
Or Steve Green as an Aboriginal Australian on walkabout in the Outback …
Etc.
There’s no need to do that. There are plenty of great actors who can fill those roles realistically. It is the unrealistic, contrived, condescending, pathetic, weak submission to the woke theology that got us this nonsense.
Now stop to think for a minute … Why do that to their own financial ruin? Why did those people think this was a good idea? Were they willing to see their message perish and their financial status and relevance perish alongside it?
Was their impression of this message as being so vital they were all willing to fall on their swords to get it out there? Even knowing both they and their message would have to fail in the end?
I don’t think so.
I think they believed that this was the coming thing, the wave that would carry them to wealth and fame. That in anticipating this wave and encouraging it they would all be vindicated because so many people thought the same way that their popularity and demand for their work would skyrocket.
So how did they get entrapped by this ridiculous delusion to the point of their own destruction and the failure of the message they so desperately thought would be welcomed with open arms?
Well, yeah, as Bill says, China had something to do with it but that hardly accounts for what amounts to professional suicide. The same goes for Blackrock and their influence. Because any sane person would if given the choice between a sponsor with deep pockets and failure in the long term opt against failure. Obviously they didn’t think they would fail.
There’s an operative word in that previous paragraph. That word is “sane”.
The reason these people thought that would work and were willing to accept money from sponsors like China and Blackrock is the opposite of a solid grasp on reality.
They were tweeting and facebooking and tik-tok-ing and all that so they thought the attitudes reflected in those mediums was a sign of the times. They either didn’t know or didn’t care that the vast majority of the money spending public isn’t real prominent in those venues. (BTW, it seems that the Democrat Party has exactly this same problem.)
Once upon a time back in the days of CB radio I was zipping down a freeway in my ’76 Monte Carlo checking for “bears” in the bushes ahead of me. I heard a voice on the radio tell me to “Bring it on up, you’re clear to “X” mile marker.” I was doing about 72 in a 55 zone and as I went under the next overpass a police cruiser came screaming down the on ramp with lights flashing and I got pulled over. The officer asked me “So, what are you doing tonight?” I said, “Nothing important, just driving down the interstate listening to the radio.” He replied, “Listening to the wrong radio, huh?”
We got where we are in the entertainment business because the people who provide that entertainment are listening to the wrong radio.
The hopeful part of this is that to fix the problem we just need to turn up the volume on the right radio. We do that by not buying tickets or subscriptions, by voicing our displeasure explaining why we’re not spending our money with these idiots who clearly don’t have a clue regarding reality.
Our biggest problem, bigger than China or Blackrock or twitter or anything else is in being a silent majority. We really need to stop being silent and let the world know we’re here and we matter.
One of the things about this “90 lb. woman beating the crap out of 6 big men” isn’t just that the girl is that powerful … It’s that the men are that weak. It not only elevates a woman to feats impossible to her, it degrades the men who she finds herself miraculously able to pulverize.
This is a detrimental thing to women. It gives them the idea that they can beat up people who will, if push comes to shove, end any conflict with a single blow. This is not doing any favors to women.
For example …
I had a client in my IT business that had a female manager. She was middle aged, fit, small and fairly good looking. She used that respectable figure of hers to full advantage and was quite irked that her wiles didn’t work on me. That didn’t work on me because I’m not susceptible to being manipulated by empty half-promised innuendo channeled through my gonads. I was aware she was married and had met her poor, emasculated husband.
I had little respect for her and to add to our tensions she was bedecked with Celtic/Wiccan tattoos. Another word for Wiccan is “witch”. So at some level I have to think that the spirits guiding her didn’t like those big, shining angels standing behind me. Which probably added to her general ire at me. She was a real, live witch in the theosophical ritualistic sense. In auditing her laptop one time I found pictures of unmistakably Wiccan ceremonies. So there is no reasonable doubt of her nature.
For those of you who are not familiar with Wiccanism, to put the relevant aspect as simply as possible, the female is the boss.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to answer to her. I worked for the owners of the business, they signed the checks to my company. I answered to them, and them only. If this manager woman wanted something she could ask me but not tell me to do it. I was not hers to order around. I would grant or deny her request based on how it impacted my area of responsibility for the business. If it was a good idea and could be implemented with a reasonable economic gain or commensurate cost saving reduction in labor she’d get what she asked for. If not, the answer was no.
If she wanted something pertaining to my field and she asked the owners they said to ask me and see what I said.
So that’s how things stood in this situation. Now that you understand that …
One day she got really mad at me. She threatened to kick my ass. Seriously. It wasn’t a joke. Her words, tone and body language all said she meant it. She said that in front of several employees too. I didn’t laugh at her, though laughter would have been appropriate it may have triggered a response from her that would have served neither of us.
I merely calmly pointed out to her that I had served in the United States Marine Corps and am highly trained in close combat. Which I had used on multiple occasions or I wouldn’t be standing here. Then I asked her, “Are you offering me violence? Be advised that I will defend myself.”
If you were me you would have seen the thoughts running through her head because they were painted all over her face. She seriously considered striking me and just for a moment she thought somehow she could take me. I didn’t react to that but I did watch her very carefully so I would be able to anticipate a blow and block it. Then I could see doubt seep in from the edges, then she audibly snapped her mouth shut and stormed away.
I went immediately to the owners and reported the situation. I wasn’t tattling, I wanted them to hear about this from me first, not from an employee third hand and garbled with misinterpretations. The owners and I had a good chuckle and they asked me if I was willing to drop the issue as it sounded like I had handled it appropriately and she was after all good at her job.
To which I gladly assented. Then we laughed some more and the issue was closed.
She never offered to kick my ass again.
Had she actually attempted violence I would have done my best to hurt her as little as possible but there is no way in hell she would have prevailed. In stepping out of her female role she would simply have harmed herself and looked ridiculous. It would have just been a bad scene for both of us and having started a physical fight there’s no way the owners could have let her keep her job.
The reason I’m telling this story is that there is a demonic, Wiccan aspect to this phenomena of female protagonists beating up men they could not possibly even get to flinch with a punch. There is the dominant female and the submissive emasculated male role working in tandem. It’s not just what Critical Drinker calls the “Mary Sue” complex of a girl hero who never attempted the Hero’s Journey. There’s also a male aspect that must get it’s butt kicked.
It doesn’t matter if you believe in any sort of religion or spirituality if the people promoting this nonsense believe in it and many do. It is evil incarnate designed to alter our social structure in a negative way. You can think of that evil as either spiritual or social but that makes no difference to the end result.
The adherence to and practice of Witchcraft is just one aspect of the ills we’ve allowed to flourish in our society. Still, you can’t fight what you’re not aware of so I’m trying to make people aware.
A “shoe on the other foot” happened the other day. I watched RRR, a Hindi movie that is intensely patriotic (to India), has English bad guys, has crazy good special effects, and a ton of Bollywood-style dancing/singing numbers, the latter celebrating Indian masculinity/femininity. It was a silly/fun/dazzling movie experience.
Afterwards I realized this is what the rest of the world feels like when watching our (better, older) movies. It made me like India more.
I saw that movie. I went with a friend who wanted to see it, but I honestly didn’t have high hopes. I wasn’t even exactly sure what the movie was: a comedy? a musical? a fantasy?. The first half hour of it was baffling to me – I couldn’t figure out what I was watching. I’ve never seen a Bollywood movie, so imagine my mystification. However, after the plot sort of came into realization I couldn’t help myself – I loved that movie – you described it perfectly – silly, fun, dazzling. Would that we could still have that boisterous no holds barred enthusiasm for our country.
Simple economics, it was the 79 million dollars worth of bat-mobiles destroyed by her trying to back them out of the bat-cave that did it. (Thanks Babylon Bee!)
When movies try to promote female empowerment by showing 90 pound women throw 200 pound men around, they are presenting women with a standard that they cannot possibly achieve. This can only result in feelings of failure rather than empowerment.
Even worse, if they try to apply that sort of violence they get hurt and they are the only one getting significantly hurt. Then not only the feeling of failure but the feeling of pain and injury too. Barring the use of weapons of course.
Batgirl will always be Yvonne Craig.
Yes, where the funding comes from for big budget films is definitely questionable, and we never hear anything about it.
But a couple dozen golfers grab some cash from the House of Saud and it’s supposed to be a national tragedy.
A country with a free and active press might actually look into Hollywood’s funding and what they have to do to “earn” that funding.
(Insert your favorite Winston Churchill insult here)
I wonder if the people at the pre-release screenings were a little more emboldened to give their actual opinion than they might have been a little while back?
There is an increasing reaction against this Mickey-Mouse Marxism. Perhaps it’s got far enough for folk to be honest about what they think, rather than what they think they should say.
As for what these utter freaks are now doing to Tolkien…*pause for distinctly NSFW Anglo-Saxon cursing*..He was consciously and specifically writing a new mythology for England. By all means write new fantasy works with black lesbian dwarves in battle wheelchairs if you like, but don’t take Tolkien’s legacy and twist it.
But, of course that option is not open to them.
