DeathReviews wrote:A Transformers show needs be about making a good story, with believable characters, a cohesive plot, and thrilling action. At it's most basic level, it should be a story about good vs. evil between two warring factions of sentient robots. If the plot and writing of Earthspark instead becomes subsumed in some crusade to 'redefine the family', then the show will be mediocre at best, cheesy and eye-rolling at worst. It remains to be seen.

This tends to happen because people like YOU look too deeply and see things that aren't really there.

Money talk, BS walk. Just look at the numbers. Woke shows, comics, games, and movie fail hard while those that put ENTERTAINMENT first instead of the message have success and makes buttload of money.
TlDr; You said it yourself. Yes indeed, if people like ME decide a show lives or die, it mean WE ARE THE MAJORITY. We speak with our wallet. Money. The most powerful voice.
You'll notice once you decide, or will be forced to look outside your ever shrinking bubble.
¯\_( ͡°ヮ ͡°)_/¯

Do us all a favour and take the tin foil hat off your head and shove it down your throat.

Like I'm not gonna let any children I have play NieR Automata until they're of age, because quite frankly as amazing as that game and the themes within are, it's not suitable for- and TOO COMPLEX FOR- children

See, I reflexively wanted to take issue with your general disrespect for your own children's intelligence, but then I remembered two things:
(1) You obviously know your children better than I do, and if you think they're too dumb to understand a cartoon with a simple, sappy moral in each episode, then you would know better than anyone else. (And knowing is half the battle!)
(2) The disinclination to waste your time and energy trying to reach someone because you have a general lack of respect for their ability to grasp what you'd be trying to communicate is something I completely sympathize with.

Feel free to ban me or whatever, but Burn you are an admin and I would have expected something to be done about this thread sooner, not your participation in the extension of the mudslinging. The topic is completely off the f*cking tracks and needs to be reigned in. ENOUGH FROM ALL SIDES. I don't give a flying patootie about whether this is "woke" or not, whether there is racism or what not, whether someone is getting weepy because the bad guy happens to be a white dude (like Tomax and Xamot, Zartan, Dr. Archville, Sean Berger, Colonel Klink, and the Dude). I'm more interested in whether this will be on a par with previous TF series or if it's going to be a giant turd and I'd REALLY EFFING APPRECIATE IT if it returned to that topic rather than Great War 2.
I'd like to request somebody with some authority please reign in the children. Time outs all around. Don't make me go on you people.

Cheers
Regardless, that wouldn't exclude me from simply laying down the lay and not expressing my opinion, that was one thing that frustrated me a lot about being Admin, I had to enforce the rules and keep my own opinion to myself.
And I'm absolutely sick to death of people running their mouth off about "political correctness", "social justice" "keyboard warriors" "SJW's" etc etc etc so you'll have to forgive me for taking a stance.
This whole "the main human characters are black so clearly Hasbro is doing the WOKE thing hur hur hur" is blatant BULLSHIT and RACIST and it's time it was called out for that.
Who cares what ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or whatever the human characters are? Why is that even an issue? It's not to me, as long as there's a good story and good characters then that's all you should need.
But no, there are certain members of this website who disguise their blatant racism and at times sexism behind the "GO WOKE GO BROKE" argument because they believe they're the majority and will garner sympathy for it.
That **** needs to be called out.
So I did.
And I will not apologise for doing so either.
I want this topic on track as much as First-Aid does, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let bigots have their say and not be called out on it.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
