The values that constitute "entertainment" are fundamentally different between woke and normal audiences.

I wouldn't say that. The values are different for teenagers and everyone else is a more accurate description.

Woke is fundamentally a juvenile and prejudicial perspective. Teenagers are trying to 'find their place' and so are highly susceptible to the hive mind / cult practice of the cultural hate mob in media.

I guess you could boil adults that believe and enforce these kinds of politics to be 'still in a high school mindset'. So we see the world divided into cliques.

It’s anecdotal but from my experience this is absolutely true.

I run a bar and because I don’t give a shit I let a “polyamory support board game night” group meet here monthly and it’s absolutely just a bunch of obese 30somethings that behave like they’re in high school.

We’re right near a SUPER progressive college town and we always have that sort in here. In my personal experience they’re all unhappy underachievers that lean on their parents as a crutch well into adulthood. They also tip like shit.

I see the quality of a person in how they channel their angst and unhappiness in the bad times. Morally sound people don't demand that others change for their benefit, they take responsibility and try something new, becoming a better person along the way.

The bitterness of the 2020s isn't covid or some other tragedy. It's that we are told to compare our lives to an impossible standard, and then blame those making progress. Especially if that progress is being made in a traditional way. Children learn that nothing matters, what their parents worked for becomes meaningless to them, and that they need to seek purpose in capricious identity or destruction for envious ideals.
