The Absolute State Of Star Wars – The Critical Drinker

Have We Passed Peak Woke? – Ace of Spades HQ

On a recent episode of Triggernometry, the Critical Drinker expressed his belief that we have passed Peak Woke.

He stressed this doesn’t mean woke is over. If you think about a hill, and its peak, passing the peak doesn’t mean you’re back down at ground level. You can still be pretty high.

It just means you’ve passed the highest point — the peak of woke — and are on the way back down to normalcy.

Comics Matter (aka Ya Boi Zach) has been claiming that woke is on the run for a while. I didn’t really believe him, but there was a major event in the comic book industry a few months ago that suggested that maybe woke is on its way out…

“GamerGate 2.0” Begins as Grifter Organization Sweet Baby, Inc. Pressures Game Developers to Fill Their Games With Divisive Woke Content – Ace of Spades HQ

You’ve probably heard of “sensitivity readers” in the publishing industry. These are grifters who “offer” their services to read unpublished manuscripts and tell publishers in which way they must be censored — or blocked from publishing altogether — to avoid the friends and allies of the sensitivity readers from #Cancelling the publisher and causing them major public relations grief. And, they threaten, losses of profit as well. (Though I think that’s a phantasmal threat — everyone hates these people, and anyone who defies them will make more money, not less.)

Sweet Baby Inc. claims to be a game development company, but they develop no games. Instead, they pressure actual game companies to hire them to censor their games for them.

LOL: Victoria’s Secret Figures Out That “Body Diversity” Isn’t the Fantasy People Are Looking for in Boudoir Attire – Ace of Spades HQ

It takes 10x as much money to get a new customer as it takes to merely keep the existing customers happy. In every woke “business” makeover, you intentionally alienate all of your existing customers to chase new customers, spending 10x more to attract this new supposedly more-desirable customer base than it would have cost you to excite the existing one. When the new “woke” customers do not come — they never do — you now have to spend 20x more to try to attract back your old customers.

But why would they come back? During this period they have either stopped buying the kind of products you sell entirely, and thus do not need your services, or have bought similar products from non-woke vendors, in which case they also do not need your services.

All of your old, undesirable customers remember that you decided that they were old and undesirable, and told them you did not want to sell to them any longer…
