My wife and I love the survival competition show “Alone.” We just found out there’s an Australian version and started watching. Unintentionally the funniest thing on TV right now. It’s basically “Alone: DEI Edition.” Ten contestants. Two are lesbians. Two claim to be indigenous. One of the lesbians dropped out after one night. One of the indigenous guys made a big show about being in touch with nature etc and then cried and dropped out after one night. A Gen Z environmentalist guy tested positive for COVID and immediately called the med team to evacuate him. Another indigenous guy tried to eat a toxic millipede. The American version features gritty, skilled survivalists. The Australian version was more worried about checking diversity boxes so the contestants are totally clueless, incompetent, and just crying through the whole thing. Very funny stuff. And a great cautionary tale. Highly recommend.
 

Huh? WTF?

 

Heh

The X-Men are weird because yes, they were obviously INTENDED to represent “oppressed minorities” but the metaphor doesn’t really work at all. The X-Men spend most of their time defending humans from violent mutant extremists. I can’t think of any real world civil rights organization that spent most of its time defending white people from violent minorities. This isn’t even how minorities or liberals view civil rights groups in their own imagination. For the metaphor to work, the X-Men would have to allow Magneto to destroy civilization by reversing the Earth’s magnetic poles and then say “we can prevent this from happening again in the future by giving more federal funding to Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters”
They’re intended to represent people who don’t fit in and tell them they can still be heroes. They’re only “oppressed minorities” today because the current writers are so shallow, that’s the only category they have to understand alienation.
