You can't take a woke writer(et al) & create anything of value.

They have no personal experience or role models.

Surrounded only by worthless people, they will always produce garbage.

Woke stories and characters are terrible because the people creating them are terrible.

[John Ringo excerpt below]

Think about some of my characters. Pahner comes to mind. This is a person who has their act together to almost insane degree. Stolid in battle. Wise in character. A good mentor and trainer. An absolute stud personally.

[More paragraphs where he praises himself]

Thus the characters in my books, or LOTR, certainly the protagonist/heroes are based upon the best of humanity. People I've known over the years and while sometimes exaggerated (Faith is based on one of my daughters who is not and never will be quite that level) are still inherently great people. Because I've had the honor to have alot of great people in my life.

Various moments in my books have come from personal experience or from stories told by such people. One scene that comes to mind (two come to think of it) are when Mike O'Neal is caught in an underground current in his suit and the feeling of complete loss of control. The other is when Butch's suit is breached.

I've been caught in a current cave diving as well as had air malfunctions and thought I was going to die. Been there, done that. I can write it from personal experience. Overcome fear any number of times to complete a mission. BTDT

Now, think about two things. 1. (Gah!) Starfleet Academy. 2. Anything you know or have seen about the 'woke' crowd. Think about Alex Pretti or Rachel Good. Think about Don Lemon. Think about any of the posters on Reddit or Bluesky.

Now imagine being a creator SURROUNDED by people like that. Imagine BEING a person like that.

Where are they going to get truly heroic, stoic, mature, sane characters? People who work the problem instead of be the problem? People who work the problem until it's fixed or they're dead?
