Also in The American Conservative, Nora Kenney observes further pushback against the wokist inversion-of-everything in the recently released horror movie Weapons. Director Zach Cregger upends the wokist fashion of valorizing “otherness” (which, hence, also normalized criminality while criminalizing normality). Cregger’s straight, white, male, blue-collar protagonist does so convincingly enough to embolden Kenney to call Weapons part of a “post-woke cultural shift”.
