This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
That's a fair point; perhaps Hollywood is doomed anyway, unless they can get AI into the executive suite as well as in the writer's room.
But I also have to wonder if the terrible writing in those Disney films is because they didn't have access to writers good enough to write good scripts while meeting the constraints placed on them by executives. Perhaps the constraints that executives place on the writers makes it literally impossible to write a good script, in which case the prior paragraph holds, but what if it's just that the writers weren't skilled enough to figure that out? I don't know what sorts of constraints the execs at Disney and Lucasarts placed on the writers for Rise of Skywalker, but perhaps a more skilled writer could have written a script that was at least half-decent? And what if AI could/would have elevated those writers to such a level?
It was always doomed, for a few reasons.
Disney rushed Star Wars: The Force Awakens into production which meant no holistic plan for the trilogy. They also went all-in on pandering to existing fans with a derivative plot. It was already broken at this point.
Last Jedi came out, rightly loathing TFA's derivative plot but erasing it (due to there being no plan) which just enraged fans of the first film invested in what it set up
Disney insists on a pivot but also doesn't change the release date so someone had to redo the entire (non-existent) plan from scratch to mollify both TFA and TLJ fans under a time constraint.
Abrams is very often be called a hack, but it was always a cursed endeavor and he's a veteran who's shown he can do competent work.
A lot of the time what seems to happen is that the writer/director is chosen due to being pliable and helpful instead of experienced (see Abrams' proteges who ended up on Rings of Power) and then have to craft a good story between studio mandates. They're neither competent enough to do it nor do they have enough cachet to impose their will even if they had a better plan.
