LGBTQ+ advocacy group complains that almost half of the queer characters on TV will be gone by next year
A new report from the GLAAD Media Institute, an extortion racket that threatens Hollywood creators if their films and shows aren't gay enough, published a report warning that 41% of the LGBTQ+ characters on TV will be gone by next year.
Keep them to a realistic percentage, 3% max
Was just going to say the same thing
Next how about this: Black people are like 13% of population, but make up at least 50% of all movie staring roles. It seems in every action movie, a black person, usually female, is the boss, the hero, and the white roles are made to look stupid, and subservient.
And then we have these female roles with woman beating up men, like that happens in real life.
If you remove the films that involved Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington, what do you have left? It seems like these three got the majority of the work.
13% of population and over 50% of professional sports. The country is obviously racist.
If it bothers you. Try Hockey and swimming.
No, they are not! That is a false narrative that the govt has perpetuated for decades. There are way more than 13%. I had this discussion with another govt worker 20+ years ago. She had all the info and stats. Wish I had gotten it in writing. She had it all laid out and it was eye-opening.
Ever since fey boy and Big Mike arrived on the scene, Netflix is polluted with the crap--that alone should tell us that Obama doesn't swing hetero.
And they gave us Cuties
We need more of that shit gone: This is not enough!
41%? Isn't that same percent of trans people who end up killing themselves?
Not sure but it is high. I heard/read that the average lifetime is age 34 or so.
A good start...
I wonder how realistic the latest census will be...If it's right, base percentages off that.
Plus... Unless it's Kung Fu Theater - no Asian movies or shows. No Chinese or Korean productions. Japanese is fine... because they're not assholes and don't eat dogs and cats. Fact.
But let's face it...
It's marketed as entertainment...
But the reality is, it's 100% pure propaganda,; n one form or another.
Another thing ruined by committees... which is why nearly every movie or show out there completely sucks...
Never watched any of those shows. l think all of them should be removed IMHO.
I had already noticed this starting a couple years ago. One of the first changes I had noticed when Star Trek: Picard season 3 came out was that all but one of the new characters introduced in the series (meaning not from previous Trek shows) were gone and the one they kept was the "conspiracy theorist who keeps turning out to be right" character. While in season 2 she and an existing character had suddenly been bi and having a lesbian relationship from out of nowhere that apparently started offscreen between seasons, well in season 3 it's not even brought up except for one line from a third character and the two react like "shut up we don't want to even acknowledge it ourselves."
Among those that are gone, did they where red shirts. That would explain the disappearances.
No they were major characters in seasons 1 and 2. One is explained as he stayed back in the past at the end of season 2 but the others just vanished and I recall no mentions of them off doing anything they just don't get brought up. Picard season 3 is essentially The Next Generation season 8 given the writing style and the sheer number of characters from TNG who are in it (they even brought a salvaged Enterprise-D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXVkle0d8Is)
Interesting thing about season 3 is that the plot involved an assimilation plot (a Borg mind-virus of sorts) which only affected people under the age of 30 leaving old people to save the day at the end of the season.
I was just thinking about Star Trek. All I’ve seen of the new ones is the first season of Discovery and the first few of the second and it went from tolerably sprinkled with wokeness to full retard so far. I am hoping it turns around at some point as well.
An OG fan of Star Trek. James T. Kirk was the best. Since it got so woke in later years, just stopped watching it altogether. Sad.
Now I might want to try Picard S. 3, based on your review.
Make it 99%.
They've transitioned.
Why not do 100% of all characters.
The purpose of TV shows is to sell ads. For movies it’s to sell tickets. That’s it. The “show” is irrelevant. The business model is to create whatever will put the most eyeballs in front of an ad stream or the most butts in seats.So you’re not targeting the general population but rather specific demographics. Characters thus reflect the desired target audience, not the general population, since the demographics of TV viewers or movie ticket buyers has not been representative of the general population for a long time.
When the demographics shift, the shows/movies shift to try to capture the largest share of the new demographics. That’s what’s going on, not any new “awareness” on the part of producers. A lot of themes have simply worn out their welcome and no longer match the tastes of those remaining few who want to watch ads or enjoy the movie theater “experience”.
Are they dying of the gay aids?
