In this creepy world we live in where children are targeted by “educators” to redefine their genders and pushed away from the behaviors and activities that they enjoy it’s hardly surprising that things like adventure books for boys have essentially disappeared.
Of course they’ve vanished. All the authors are women and they have to toe a very definite line if they want to be published. You can’t have adventure for boys. You can’t leave the girls behind. You can’t even have them following along. They have to be in charge.
So, boys stopped reading books. Instead, they went to superhero and Star Wars movies. So, what did the movie studios do then? They hired female directors and studio bosses and turned the Jedis into girl-bosses and turned Captain Marvel into a girl, of course.
So now the boys are giving up on superheroes and concentrate on video games. And of course, the game manufacturers are feminizing and queering the video games.
You see the pattern.
Now, there is the flip side of this progression. First the book industry began to fail when the publishing houses dictated a leftist and feminine slant to books. No one bought their books. Now the movie studios are foundering because even their summer blockbuster superhero movies are tanking. If the video game makers succeed in eliminating the things that males enjoy in video games, they will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
So far, the trend in entertainment has been all in one direction; female. And the trend in their fortunes has also been all in one direction; down.
Well, I think that is beginning to end. There is a development in the world of entertainment that seems to be diverging from the pattern. And it even involves elements of each of the media I mentioned above; books, movies and video games. And it involves the part of social media that I found the least promising; “influencers.”
Apparently teen-age boys and young men are finding community inside the YouTube channels of influencers who write fan fiction around some popular video games. These sites have tens and even hundreds of millions of viewers. And the clout that this kind of following produces even allows these influencers to have their stories turned into movies. Think about that. Some guy who writes plots around some popular first-person sci-fi video game can get a movie made from his stories and it has a built-in audience of millions.
Look at how this short circuits the whole woke female industrial complex. You avoid the woke publishing industry, woke movie industry and woke video game industry by tapping into a ready built audience of young men and boys looking for adventure and violence. As Jeff Goldblum’s character, Dr. Ian Malcolm said in Jurassic Park, “Nature finds a way.”
I find this both fascinating and encouraging. These kids have broken out of the feminist struggle session hell of modern entertainment and escaped into the wild. That is an immensely encouraging thing. And if it continues to advance it will wipe out the alternative. No one wants to see Girl-Boss Jedi Knights making the universe safe for middle aged lesbian Jabbette the Hutt. No one will pay to see She-Hulk bust out of her clothes and rampage through Manhattan’s theater district to catch a performance of Hamilton. No boy wants to play a video game where his character has to be in drag.
Of course, the powers that be may try to squelch this latest attempt at non-feminist entertainment. But at this point even Google is probably seeing which way the entertainment dollar is moving (and where it’s not). I could be wrong but I think there may finally be a reaction brewing in the entertainment world. And it might be that the future isn’t female.
