Saturday 11 June 2022 10:19 PM Bill Maher blames movies for shootings in attack on 'woke' Hollywood trends now
Bill Maher took aim at 'woke' Hollywood for mass shootings in America, saying the industry was partially responsible because it pumps out movies and television shows glorifying gun violence.
During his closing segment on The Real Time on Friday, the talk show host slammed Hollywood for being 'the wokest place on Earth,' yet it still mass produces films where heroes solve their problems with guns.
'They hate it when gun people say it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun, but they endlessly produce movies with that exact plot,' Maher quipped.
'They have intimacy coordinators on set to chaperone sex scenes, they hire sensitivity readers to go through and edit scripts, Disney stood up to the 'Don't Say Gay' law, another studio spent $10 million to digitally remove Kevin Space from a movie, but when it comes to the unbridled romanticization of gun violence, crickets.
'Weird. The only thing we don't call a trigger is the one that actually has a trigger.'

Among the movies Maher claimed were troubling were films like Django Unchained (left) and The Punisher (right), both popular stories where the protagonist uses guns to take revenge
