Under current trends, much of what is called “entertainment” will become increasingly un-entertaining and un-watchable. I wonder when the industry will notice?

Brie is following in Ashley Judd’s footsteps.

Diversity is for the ‘little people’

Not important people like Brie.

I look forward to when actors are obsolete and every role is created by CGI

Hopeful this will eliminate the incessant need of actors to “share’ their idiotic opinions to the world.

Larson be replaced with a “gay woman of color.”

This author is obviously transphobic!

When a breakout entertainer — probably a stand-up comic — who is (a) super talented and (b) completely politically incorrect, emerges.

We're seeing a classic "population inversion" in a sociological sense, where the a near-majority of the population is completely opposed to the elites, and enough of the remainder is uncomfortable with the way things are going even though they may not be full-blown conservatives. I'm thinking of young millennials for the latter group.

ya more diversity... The black guy still hooks up with the white girl, the white guy is gay 80% of the time, and the 2 other girls on the starring roles are lesbian... how much more diverse are we gonna get?

a stand better be made quick or this country is toast. soooooo tired of the anything goes mentality and if anyone tries to protest it they are labeled... As Travis says... ...”hittin the reset button on all this is gonna be tough”...

Yes. In the interest of Lactose Diversity, I propose Hollywood impose nom-de-screen restrictions so that others can get in on the action. Like Gouda. And Cheddar. Feta. Camembert. Limburger. Et cetera. Might as well add new flavors to the film farts.

These places bend over backwards to make these movies and their response is to attack those very people that gren lit and funded those films.

Why arent they putting up their own money, paying everyones salaries, paying the behind the scenes people, overhead, adkin, catering, insurance, studio leasing, out of their own pockets and making their movies?

We know why. We all know why. Libtard crybullies.

“This is satire, right? Right? Please tell me this is satire.”

I don’t think so. Why should it be satire? Maybe some people are getting fed up with all this victim crap.

IMHO, they should be going for a trans actress. That would be sticking it in a giving it a twist.

“I’m thinking of young millennials”

You have to hope that at some point they will peek up over their phones and think “Hey, that’s ME they are hating on!”

That’s how Beppo Grillo rose to prominence, first as a comic, then as leader of the 5 star movement, IIRC.

So much of their product is already unwatchable due to the forced inclusion of minorities and members of liberal protected identity groups.

Someone from another culture or world making a judgement on our demographics based on movies and TV shows would conclude that normal white people are a small and unimportant minority of the population.
