Hollywood’s "progressive snowflake era" is over, with studios turning away from DEI and socially conscious programming, a New York Times column argued on Saturday.

"Hollywood is rapidly shifting away from the socially conscious framework that for more than a decade has driven its narratives, casting and green lights," editor-in-chief for The Wrap, Sharon Waxman, wrote in a guest essay for The New York Times.

Waxman pointed to the recent sale of an "anti-woke" reboot of the 1992 Paul Veerhoven film "Basic Instinct" as an example of how Hollywood is pivoting away not just from diversity, equality and inclusion in its business practices, but from a social justice-oriented outlook at the box office as well.

She cited the Netflix show "The Hunting Wives" as evidence that Hollywood is no longer woke — proclaiming that everyone on the series is "hot, horny and white."

Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad is further evidence of Hollywood’s anti-woke shift, Waxman claimed. Upon the launch of the advertisement, both Sweeney and American Eagle received backlash, with critics claiming the ad was hinting at eugenics.

However, according to Waxman, it failed to penetrate the Hollywood power centers in Burbank or Beverly Hills, and Sweeney was left unscathed from the controversy.

"It’s had no echo in Burbank or Beverly Hills, where not so long ago, Ms. Sweeney might have had to apologize for her insensitivity and make a donation to the A.C.L.U," she wrote.

Waxman claimed that after a string of controversies that beset Hollywood — including the #OscarsSoWhite campaign and criticism of a lack of diversity among creators — the industry set out to course-correct by emphasizing diversity in its hiring practices and storytelling. Yet, the efforts to hire additional non-White directors, screenwriters and showrunners left many creatives in Hollywood feeling like they’d been pushed aside.

To quote one of our writers here in Sweden (translated ):

"Sweeney is a blonde, curvy woman and also an actress, but mostly in the same way that Red Bull is a meal. She is known from the TV series Euphoria, The White Lotus, and for her inability to deliver a single line that doesn’t sound rehearsed. Now she has made a much-talked-about advertising campaign for the jeans brand American Eagle...

Sweeney looks at us with a glazed expression, like a deer freshly awakened from anesthesia, and talks about her jeans. The tagline is a worn-out pun: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,” where the garment sounds like “genes” in English. In another clip, she explains how our genetic makeup determines hair and eye color, and so on. That she has commendable DNA is the concluding point. This dad joke, serving the culture war, has sparked a fierce debate about racial hygiene and Nazi ideology. First, the left got upset, then the right got upset about their indignation, and in the middle sat the algorithm, quietly pleased.

One must assume that was the whole point.
The advertising agency is said to have hoped for exactly this chain of reactions — Sweeney’s old-fashioned pin-up ideal and constantly exposed cleavage have already previously divided the internet’s inhabitants into woke and anti-woke camps. (Her loudest fans are a far-right swarm of hornets who want to crown her as an Aryan breeding queen.)"

This is why you should care (or not).
