Rereading that, it's not super clear who "they" is referring to. Here is what I was trying to say: In the past, some of our media has been revised to make it politically correct, books, film, and other media. I don't agree with this, but I do think some of those people have good intentions. Putting ads on cultural artifacts (like our media) retroactively is whole new level of evil: supervillain evil. It's like "Stonehenge, brought to you by CocaCola and Nestle" or "Skip the line at the Great Pyramid with Amazon Prime". One is motivated by a misguided desire to protect everyone's feefees. The other one is just pure greed.
You never answered the question. Can you give some clear examples to support anything at all you're saying?
Han shooting first in the OG Star Wars vs shooting secind in the remasters is the first, major change to be more PC that comes to mind. There are tons of classic films that have had re-makes or re-releases that have done what that user is claiming.
I'm not a fan of that change, but I don't really see it as an attempt to be more 'politically correct'.
I think Lucas is wrong, because even if he shoots first Han is being threatened with kidnap and death, so he's not a cold-blooded murderer to shoot the guy threatening him. But unless we're rolling all ideas of heroism and morality into woke/PC then I don't think that example works at all.
