Don’t these people realize that their livelihoods depend on attracting an audience? When you alienate half of America, your marketability plummets.
You may win brownie points in Hollywood, but that only goes as far as you can bring in movie-goers, t.v.-watchers, etc.
And that gets even more difficult as the television universe is expanding, with Netflix, Crave, etc.
I remember some Hollywood star pontificating about the plight of Native Americans (I think?) during the Oscars about 30 years ago.
They had a captive audience then. No longer.
I agree—they need to learn to keep their mouths shut.
Meant to ping you to my previous post, too, ColdOne. :)
