Shameless Political Pandering and Lecturing
I've likely missed a lot, but this is just a list of movies where either they had strong and condescending political lectures, OR blamed meh whatever for their failure, OR attempted to divide the audience by attacking groups BEFORE it was released (and then blamed the group they attacked for not watching it), OR said it wasn't made for a specific group (and then blamed that group for not watching it AFTER it failed), OR went "woke" and cast ALL African-Americans as having the same personality (in an attempt to show they aren't racist), OR went "woke" and cast all white men as evil (in an attempt to show they aren't racist), OR went "woke" and cast all Gay people as having the exact same personality (in an attempt to show they aren't homophobic), or simply made a character or characters so absolutely flawless that there is absolutely no tension or drama in the "woke" belief that showing any fault of struggle would be somehow prejudice.
All between the 16-Present range because, honestly, that is when it all started.
