If you guessed that the author is white you are correct.

“It’s 2019. Television is at the zenith of its powers of influence”

no, it isn’t.
Lost me at the first sentence.

I haven’t watched a new tv drama in years, since the Sopranos, and probably won’t for awhile.

The promos for the new shows are dripping with political correctness.

Every show has minorities in the lead roles, brainy black kids who want to be astronauts or scientists and women smarter than stupid men. Which is fine, but doesn’t reflect the real world.

I guessed that she’s a white feminist.

PC LGBT shows fail every time they’re tried. Look at Love Island (umm, no, don’t look at it) but it’s failing right out of the gate.

"It’s a failure, not of imagination, but of recognizing all of the things that you don’t know and working to surround yourself with and listen to people as unlike you as possible . . . "

So, she wants to dialogue with Trump supporters and conservative Christians, to have TV shows that deal sympathetically with their point of view? Nah. She wants stories about black people and homosexuals who - voila! - share all of her beliefs and values. That is her version of diversity.

Maybe black feminist dramas will succeed?

(...fueled by existential dread, blatant racism, xenophobia, and sexism, much of it funneled straight from the White House.)

Not interested in reading beyond this obvious smear.

Reading the first sentences of the post I was assuming it was parody or satire.
It turns out this goof is serious.

We cut our cable 3 years ago this month.

With the exception of a handful of CBS shows, we don’t watch ABCNNBCBS and Faux.

Sling Blue is our provider and for $25 per month, we don’t get ESPN, ABC nor Disney.

ESPN, ABC nor Disney get any monthly $’s from us.

So whatever the left wing maggots @ ABCNNBCBS do with their tv shows and fake news, we don’t care.

Last but not least, we are saving over $200 per month by cutting our Comcast cable.

And what do these shows have in common? White guys. Specifically, white guy showrunners.

Well, there's a surprise. A white female feminist finds the problem with white female feminism in television is white males. Astounding conclusion.

We are ending cable in September. We never watch the drek and are paying for the privilege of supporting it.

Unfortunately, the housesitter needs the fix.

[Midwesterner53]

I refuse to watch shows that promote homosexuality, I refuse to buy products that push an agenda of interracial couples instead of pushing an ad for their product, I will not watch the weather channel blather on about climate change and I never watch network news or late shows for obvious reasons. I do not watch the NFL or women’s soccer and will not have Nike products in my house, again for obvious reasons. Call me any name you want to call me but my money goes elsewhere or stays in my pocket.

I tried to read this drivel.

It’s complete gibberish.

I think it's more politicized feminism that dooms Handmaid. If Big Little Lies has a problem it may be the upper middle class thing. You can satirize the affluent milieu for a season, but stretch a series out longer than that and it looks too much like you approve of it and luxuriate in it. I don't see what white feminism has to do with Game of Thrones. It's too much of a stretch.

P.S. Check out the pictures of the showrunners. They look like creepy furtive porn addicts.
