So apparently the new Dune movie is "racist" because of the "white savior" trope. Honestly, that's a new one on me. I mean I kind of get it but I also feel like it is mostly woke white people virtue signaling in this particular case. The director was questioned about it... https://nofilmschool.com/dune-white-savior
Now, I can only assume the director gave an honest answer so I'll leave it at that.
I feel like most people are going to latch on to this sort of stuff not because it is racist or not but because they want to be woke. I don't see how bitching about a movie, Dune in this case, amounts to anything in regards to improving social justice, civil rights or race relations... at least I'm not convinced that this stuff does. And perhaps I am missing the point and need it explained to me.
