One of the biggest questions that many of us have is why is writing so awful in books, film, TV, and video games. Another is: why is there so much wokeness in the writing? Thanks to the genius of David V. Stewart, we have some thoughtful answers.
Watch the short video below:
Some takeaways:
- Today’s writers don’t appreciate the classics and outright reject them as a result they don’t have the skills to create good stories and instead use propaganda as a substitute
- The hate our culture and their audience which makes them incapable of writing for them
- They are parasites and unable to create anything original, so they take over existing franchises and run them into the ground
- Due to their dominance in academia, they’re unchallenged and have become complacent and lazy
- They hate Western beauty standards. They hate the good and the beautiful
- They are narcissistic and solipsistic
Conclusion
What is going on here is that cultural Marxist and post-modernist thought has completely captured the minds of academics which have transmitted it to impressionable students who attend colleges and universities via women’s studies, lesbian studios, black studies, queer theory, and intersectionality. Then these students go into the workforce as writers and bring all of this brainwashing with them and insert it into the culture.
Academia and higher learning have increasingly become enemies of Western civilization since the establishment of the Frankfurt School at Columbia University in the 1930s. They teach their students to hate their own culture and leave them over-educated, with mountains of debt, and unfit for the rigors of the real world. They need to be mercilessly destroyed and replaced with classical education.

I would add to this that the new generation of writers has no clear concept of right and wrong, and good and evil. Their moral matrix is: is this racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.
This is because they have not been exposed to Christian teaching and Greek philosophy which is the bedrock of our civilization. Even all of the classics were written by Christians who were well-versed in the Bible.
Another reason is that most of them live in leftist echo chambers like the East and West coasts of America. Everyone there thinks the same and no viewpoint diversity is allowed.
I’ve noticed about the art of woke games the excessive use of the colors purple and maybe pink and blue. Everything is purple first with a dash of pink and blue second. To me, these colors give me the feeling of a really strong and pungent perfume that is constantly in my nostrils and is suffocating me. Sometimes I pass by women on the street with such perfume and it feels like a turnoff, because standing next to them would be pure torture for my smell senses.
In regards to woke trash and purple, it’s like every second character is purple – purple hair, purple clothes, purple magic. They also look like they have a very complex designs with too many colors or textures for clothes, some weird hairstyle, it’s as if some immature kid designed these characters and made them super complicated so they stand out like anime protagonists from normal people. In anime, the protagonists have fancy hair, unnatural hair colors and fancy clothes, while people in the background have black or brown hour and very plain clothes. As I grew older, I began appreciating those background characters more as they looked more appealing to me.
And also, looking at those overly complex characters is taxing, because they have so much and then the next one is the same and also the next one. There used to be beauty in simplicity. 80s-90s fantasy art for example, the one you can see on heavy metal album art or video game boxes and inside the game. It looked so natural and believable, it even left some total the imagination. Now everything is neon purple or red or blue or green.
Just compare the box art and in-game of WoW The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm and every other version -it’s always some strong neon color and this is represented as the color of some energy or magic in the game – fel energy, fel magic, undead magic, elemental magic. Like having some simple spell effects like something like The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind would have killed them. So everything has to be turned to 11. It’s the same on every new fantasy RPG, every mobile game is the same.
It’s the degradation of artistry, and I think it goes beyond woke. People are just lazy, complacent and completely lack creativity – they just copy what they see and the players are just as stupid, uneducated and lacking creativity so they eat it up and never question it.
For me the art of Diablo 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind and Vanilla World of Warcraft is the pinnacle example of simplistic art that does wonders.
I cant play new games, either because they are woke or because they are just too ugly and oversaturated, they feel like you’re playing the same game for the 100th time, because for the past 10 years, this is how all of them looked like. It’s as if the developers are also too stupid and ignorant to see they are doing the same again.
Diablo 4’s art style wasn’t more superior or realistic than that of Diablo 2. The colors looked washed out, visibility as bad and so forth, nothing redeeming about and always online cash grab like that.
For me gaming is almost dead at this point, same for movies and TV series.
So true. Art reflect the sensibilities of the artist. These new artists have no restraint. The bring the chaos and ugliness of their souls with them. Less is more but they don’t get that.
All the characters look the same. None of them have any character in their faces. It’s all so plastic and contrived.
Every game is full of explosions and pyrotechnics. There’s too much information. Too much noise.
I’m avoiding everything right now. Nothing appeals to me. I guess I’m an old soul. Anything after 2012 is suspect in my books. Film, TV, art, video games, and music.
Wokeness is indeed a death cult. They loathe themselves, they want to make everyone like them, they cannot stand anyone happy. It’s a negative school of thought that is totally perverted.
Sadly, this doesn’t even enable them to make compelling end time scenarios or come up with a positive woke Utopia. It’s problems, problems, problems and victimhood ad nauseam.
Sweet Baby is particularly vile in this regard. Imagine a woke world where everything is turned woke. How they would go for each other in utter madness, as they do now and then if they find nobody else they identify as enemy.
The current hit games would not rate so high by standards of ages past. Thinking of Helldivers 2 right now, it’s good and fun but that so many people play it also shows there is little else that is bedazzling them right now.
I do not see a next gen MMO that re-ignites the genre coming anytime soon. Neither the people/players nor the creators nor the zeitgeist are ready for anything of that kind.
