Young men won't date woke women. Young women won't date Trump supporters. Politics has become the jumping-off point of the dating world. Is that necessarily a bad thing? Based on the tone of the articles we'll be looking at today, that mostly seems to depend on which of the aforementioned category you fall in to.The Dangerous Rise Of Anti Woke MenMajority of Women Won’t Date a Trump Supporter - NewsweekGen Z men are becoming more conservative. It's impacting dating

According to Esquire the negative backlash to the final season of The Boys, and to the finale in particular, is because the audience just missed the point. It's not because the writers and showrunners decided to go over the top with the heavy-handed politicizing and turned it into pure dog crap...

The Boys Finale Backlash Shows Fans Missed Homelander’s Point

When it first came out, The Boys was a cultural phenomenon. So how, just a few years later, did it devolve into just a hollow sounding board for cultural platitudes?

The creator of the Invincible comics, and now animated series, explains why some characters go race and gender swapped from the comics to the tv show. I'd like to look at that reasoning in light of the current social moment we're living in.

Who would have thought a video game where you're tasked with protecting a little girl would become something so controversial.

Leftists all across the internet screw up what The Lord of the Rings is actually about. They believe it's about power, when it's actually about good and evil. And their own failure to identify evil is why they get the Right's (and the right) interpretation of the story so very wrong.

The right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings. But they don’t understand it. | 67njHumble Flow on X: "At the heart of The Lord of the Rings is a very simple idea: Power corrupts. Always.

What's the solution to lower population growth? Well, it's not to import a bunch of loud, dirty, third-worlders who can't integrate into western society.
