So their audience is Twitter?

Fortunately there is such a huge mass of classic entertainment I really don’t miss anything outside of maybe the cinema experience. I’ve seen tons of films from the 30s to the 80s and have barely scratched the surface of what’s out there.

Just out of curiosity, which directors have retired recently?

Damn it. That one about the white family and the black neighbors sounded incredible.

studios focusing on “diversity” over anything What's with the quotation marks? Also, if this subject means that much to you, instead of complaining about people using methods that are (or rather, seem) wrong, suggest a better way to create good content with enough representation.

Do you seriously pause long enough to go 'I need representation before I can allow myself to be entertained by this content' before watching something?

I commented about this on the politics board. For decades, minorities had their scripts dumped in the reject pile out of hand because it was "not what we're looking for right now", yet let one white person get their script rejected for the same reason and Rightie suddenly loses their mind.

Damn it. That one about the white family and the black neighbors sounded incredible. Other scripts that were rejected: * White working woman with a sassy black co-worker who says things like, "Ooh girl, you gotta find yourself a REAL man". * Group of white dudes who have one black friend who uses a "street name", and around whom they suddenly refer to each other as "dog" a lot. * White family with a Latinx maid who says things like, "I am very goat to meet you" because she can't speak English too good. No, but seriously, that's what Hollywood thought "diversity" was for many years. |

Another conservative demand that movies and TV shows be acted by white people only, or at least all lead roles. They barely try to hide this any more. It's pretty blatant and, oxymoronically, pretty ugly.

I thought Tucker Carslon was planning to produce a movie for Fox Nation about the fight for children's minds with backing from Matt Gaetz. Inspired by his own fair and balanced documentary work.
ABC are considering expanding their name to ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ in order to represent underepresented letters in the alphabet, but only if their advertising executive department and majority shareholders approve.

So dwarfs don't watch TV because there are no primetime shows catering to the under 4 foot tall crowd?
And for that matter, black people have been represented for 50 years, they've been cops, doctors, lawyers, teachers, millionaires, judges, so we can start rejecting black scripts too.

Have you been living under a fucking rock for the past years doofus? In Nobody the main character has a black brother who does not act like a FUCKING THING like you just mentioned!!! This is why I can’t stand leftists!!! Before you say anything I’m independent!!! |

"Star Trek: Discovery" and Star Trek: Picard" are what happens with diversity quotas. Piles of shit.

The network executive did not pass on the scripts because they were not written by minorities, they assumed the product would only appeal to "white, Christian trash", and they're not the only studio making claims, link

Yes. Every movie that had black characters was like that until 2020. Lmao Interesting... Why did you single out 2020 of all years? So dwarfs don't watch TV because there are no primetime shows catering to the under 4 foot tall crowd? Wow... I can't tell if you're this patronizing because you hate anyone who looks different or because you're just insecure. And for that matter, black people have been represented for 50 years, they've been cops, doctors, lawyers, teachers, millionaires, judges, so we can start rejecting black scripts too. This is the 2nd time you've used an extremist counterargument (claiming that something either is or isn't true only if every single case is the same). It shows that you're not interested in having a real conversation about the topic. You just want to vent and make sure others agree with you. That goes against what these forums are for.
