You know how people always jerk off about the fact that Americans went to the movies during the Great Depression as an escape? Imagine if all the movies at the time were about going flat broke and being miserable. Thats basically how it is now with every facet of entertainment. Everything is about racism and covid. They’re trying to choke out people’s last fragments of sanity after a year of bullshit.
So true! They used to know that people wanted to FEEL GOOD after they finished a book or movie. Now, they seem to relish in bringing you down. They are evil. That’s what evil does—drags you into the mud with them.

And they wonder why no one wants anything to do with it and are tuning out in droves.
Who wants to watch such BS for entertainment?

That's a great analogy.
Same with video games, movies, hobby forums turning basic shit like woodworking or knitting or cooking into virtue signaling politics, etc.
People want these things as an escape from daily stress.. we don't want to incorporate that daily stress into them.
I hope someday I can leave politics alone and feel like everything is settled enough but it feels like a responsibility now

Why are you not entertained? Bigot

Gladiators were racist.
