It seems that the mega entertainment corporations hate their customers so much that they are happy to commit suicide just to hurt their customers.<\/p>\n
A crazy statement? Hear me out:
\nThe latest Star Wars trilogy featured all female leads (The poor black dude who featured large in the first movie was a tertiary character at best in the second two.)
\n\u201cOK, fine,\u201d I thought. \u201cThe force can be used by male and female. No big deal. On with the story.\u201d And I\u2019m sure lots of people like myself felt the same way.
\nBut Disney went further. It wasn\u2019t enough to have STRONG FEMALE LEADS (TM) they had to destroy the male leads that came before. Luke wasn\u2019t just a Jedi who was past his prime, he was a coward, a loser and a child murderer. It\u2019s like Disney was saying: \u201cTake that! All you losers who loved the original movies and characters. We\u2019ll wreck them for you.\u201d
\nYes, the movies made money \u2013 lots of it, but only about a third of what they should have made. Did you hear of anyone standing in line to see those movies 4 times? 3? even twice?<\/p>\n
OK, that\u2019s a single example. . . .<\/p>\n
The latest Marvel movie \u2013 Black Widow \u2013 has a scene consisting of women discussing their menstruation issues. I am told that Disney put that in the movie \u201cJust to make men uncomfortable\u201d.
\nWho watches comic book movies starring sexy women wearing tiny tight costumes? Is it pre-teen girls? Is it soccer moms? Is it the local Karen group of wine and whine?
\nNo! Its men! Men and adolescent boys are your target audience. Why would you put in a scene just to make them uncomfortable?
\nBecause Disney \/ Marvel hates their audience.
\nBlack Widow is going to be the lowest grossing Marvel movie ever and may not even break even.
\nBut it\u2019s worth it, because they hate their audience and want to hurt them.<\/p>\n
OK, that\u2019s 2 examples, but they are both from the same company.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s talk about Dr. Who. (Do we have to?) The BBC recently introduced a female Doctor Who. Not a female Gallifreyan \u2013 that had been seen before \u2013 but a female Dr. Who \u2013 the title character. OK, Its Sci-Fi, anything is possible. The fans will still watch as long as the writing is good. . .
\nBut the writing was horrible. Every single plot revolved around social justice and other Woke topics. The fans stopped watching in droves. Remember that this is the longest running series in the history of television \u2013 almost 60 years of fans. There are people who grew up watching the show who are now collecting social security who have turned it off. The ratings are so bad that the BBC is considering cancelling the show.
\nBut it\u2019s worth it because they hate their fans.<\/p>\n
The thing is that these companies are hurting themselves. The fans will go elsewhere \u2013 Japanese Manga is a big winner. They still feature male characters defeating bad guys and saving the day. (For now.) But the dollars the fans of Star Wars, Marvel, and Dr. Who would have spent on the movies, and products won\u2019t be going to those mega corporations.<\/p>\n
This is insanity. This is mental illness. And in the case of a publicly traded company, this might well be criminal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
