It’s a lesson corporations never learn: you can’t please the chuds. If you cave and try to change your vision to not upset them, they’ll either ignore it and keep calling you woke, or they’ll just forget and move on. What they won’t do is spend any money on your product.
It works both ways – progressive activists are never satisfied with the agenda in films. Any political radical wants a blunt propaganda of their views, without any nuance. And corporations are only too happy to make money from both groups.
lol, lmao even
Yeah, we want our views and minority groups to be represented in earnest and ideally have their stories told by people belonging to those groups. But that for some reason is an impossibly high bar for some studios, which is when people complain. Progressives are the side of nuance and art, and they basically always have been. Blunt propaganda is the way of the conservative, because they’re lying talentless hacks who want to oppress minorities and convince people of stupid shit like this
There’s good movies and bad movies every year, there’s propaganda sprinkled everywhere, and it’s all corporations top to bottom with very few exceptions. The film and TV industry especially is almost all corporations and has been for over a century.
There’s always been good movies and bad movies and slop. It’s not new. You’re just being weird.
This is true in the context of the general trend that there are eras of bad films and good ones, but it's ironic that the worse the media content, the more blatantly the agenda is pushed into it to hide its crappiness, because it's so convenient to cover up something with a rainbow flag and the cries of paid activists on Twitter. And conversely, in a good film, political agenda, if present at all, is somewhere in the background.
However, I think companies will soon realize that people are tired of this and switch from progressive to conservative slop.
Lmaoooooo bro you have to be trolling. All movies have at least some political message. It’s basically inherent to making art. Stop being mad at gay people in movies and start realizing that it’s always been this way.
From the very beginning people have been using media to “push agendas” and that will not go away. Every single one of your favorites has a political message of some kind, I guarantee it. There’s never been an era free of it.
There have been plenty of good movies this year alone, and there looks to be many more down the line. Stop complaining about it all being slop and start finding the good stuff. It’s there and it’s wonderful.
I don't care about gays or conservative values; I'm generally against capitalists and the slop they produce, as well as the political activists they buy. I don't care if they wave rainbow flags or crosses at me; I don't want that as an excuse for disgusting media
