I'm less and less inclined to watch the anti-woke rightie critics get together and discuss the problems that wokeness has caused for entertainment. I think, by now, if you don't understand the rightie perspective on the problem, then there's no helping you, and frankly, I agree with the rightie critics on almost all points. My problem is that, when people like the Critical Drinker and MauLer and Disparu and Nerdrotic get together, they merely end up making the same gripes over and over and over again, and it just gets tedious. At this point, it's almost more refreshing to hear criticism from the leftie crowd that I listen to—people like Jeremy Jahns, Nerd Cookies, Chris Stuckmann, and Adam Olinger. That said, this latest panel discussion led by the Critical Drinker has some interestingly bleak insights in it regarding the future of the latest attempt to revive "Dr. Who." The depressing point is made, during the discussion, that writers for large outlets have little creative leeway, these days, because of all the hoops they must jump through and all the limitations that are placed on them, hence the title of this blog post (which is something the Drinker says).

All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
