They can make that crap and promote it all they want. I’ll stick with the original Perry Mason reruns.
notice how the Woke BS isn’t injected until the 4th or 5th episode.
‘audiences found queer stories off-putting’
Gosh, ya think?
“Diverse and inclusive” = niche market that includes negatives in most other markets.
Good luck making money with that.
Are they not in business to make money?
Then why not give audiences what the audiences want, and not what the audiences don’t want?
Netflix used to have comments and rating for its offering, too. They quit it and removed that capability likely because of the same thing. Now all Netflix is doing is adding Hindi, Telegu, Turkish, Egyptian, Syrian, Nigerian B-grade stuff and calling it “New Releases.” And when they aren’t doing that they’re searching for posters for the shows they do have that may have someone black in it to show even though that particular character plays some minor role.
Of the three streaming venues I have, this one is very, very near being the first one I cancelled.
In our home we typically don't watch hot, woke garbage of any sort. LGBTBBQ programming gets a hard pass.
Have a nice day. Or not.
They omit everything business or news that doesn’t fit
“NONE of the news that’s fit to print”
We rarely even open the Prime Video app because of the offensive content on so many shows.
Pureflicks and Hulu are the most used apps.
Not true. Hollywood is owned by people who hate Christianity, hate "whiteness," hate America's history and heritage. They'll gladly lose money to defame the things they hate.
Hollywood is not owned by poor people. Poor people worry about paying the rent. Middle class people worry about buying a bigger house. But oligarchs have billions to spare, and will gladly lose a few tens of millions to spread their ideologies.
This past week we watched the 2nd episode of the new season of Succession. At the end when the credits rolled, it was page after page after page. I said to Mrs. abb, “It takes that many people to make a tv show now?” Used to, it was maybe a couple or three dozen people listed in the credits.
No wonder the crap is so expensive to make now. Lots of deadheads on the payroll.
The opinion of the public does not matter to the Lunatic Left. Not in entertainment and certainly not in voting. There is no longer any way to hold them accountable.
Now without the feedback they’ll double down and cram more down people’s throats.
All these tech companies do this. Notice how YouTube, etc no longer have thumbs down buttons on ratings. They are run by nasty little children who can’t handle truth.
I was loving Hawaii CSI with the beautiful background setting of Hawaii. Then toward the end if the first episode two women sexually assault each other. I was shocked. It wasn’t necessary for a great storyline and frankly, I felt ambushed, it happened so quickly. I turned it off. I will not be ambushed by these queers on my own tv in my own living room in my own home! With Prime’s price climbing, I’m really close to dumping them. One more nasty woke ambush and they lose a customer.
You can bet that everyone one of these streaming services has developed software to track what their audience is watching, what scenes they fast-forward, and at exactly which moment they gave up on a series.
I'm certain that HBO knows that I skipped forward through the gay male love scene in the otherwise entertaining "Last of Us."
You get 20 minutes into a film and you notice two dudes are talking and have steady eye contact....
I have spent two years on brit box watching old series and films.
I dumped netflix after getting surprised in the midst of a number of series with unusual subplots involving sexual proclivities.
I am also purchasing older series and films and renting them from the library. I hold the line
Just watched Easter Parade last evening for free on a streamer. Only problem is that the show stopped occasionally and the scene had to be found and restarted.
So...they actually know when I stop watching a movie/series and I don't return to finish it. Which always happens when two guys or two womens kiss.
It would be one thing if the stories were merely “inclusive” of “diverse” people and situations. But most of what gets produced is heavy-handed, condescending preaching to the mainstream, and virtue-signaling about the nobility of the perceived LGBT victims and their fake religion.
One show that actually handled very well the issues of gay and bi people within a straight family and community was Schitt’s Creek. It was hilarious and clever, with interesting costuming, settings and story lines for the majority straight characters as well as the “diverse” ones. Over five seasons, most episodes that dealt with “LGB” characters (there were no discernable “T’s”) were tolerable to straight people until near the end of the series, after the show had earned and unexpectedly large audience and quite a few awards.
