Conservative Culture War's New Weapon: Movie Reviews
A new site lets conservatives dodge Hollywood's woke landmines in their movie picks.
Sane Perspective
Finally, a Guide for Avoiding the "Girl Boss" Epidemic
In a world where Hollywood is more concerned with ticking diversity boxes than telling good stories, Worth It or Woke steps in as the conservative Rotten Tomatoes, helping right-leaning moviegoers avoid the preachy progressive traps. James Carrick, the site’s founder, is tired of predictable “girl boss” characters and films that prioritize identity politics over entertainment. By assigning a "woke quotient" to movies, Carrick’s site serves as a cultural compass for conservatives who want to enjoy a good film without getting a lecture on progressive ideology. As the entertainment market fragments along ideological lines, Worth It or Woke offers a refreshing, no-nonsense approach to film criticism that’s as much about protecting rational values as it is about good cinema. Conservatives can now safely navigate the movie season without supporting the latest Hollywood sermon of absurdity.
Woke Perspective
Conservatives Create Echo Chamber to Avoid Reality
Worth It or Woke is the latest attempt by right-wingers to wall themselves off from the diverse, inclusive narratives that reflect the real world. Founder James Carrick wants to "protect" conservative audiences from movies that feature strong wimmin, diverse characters, and progressive values. But what he's really doing is promoting a fear-based ideology that rejects the progress we’ve made towards equity and inclusion. By labeling films as "woke," Carrick is just pushing his reactionary agenda to keep cis-men in control and keep out the narratives that challenge their fragile egos.
