I'm waiting for the moment when Hallmark realizes that their viewing audience is overwhelmingly female and they decide that since it has become a "girls club" they need to inject masculine themes and more blood, guts, and violence into their movies to appeal to this untapped male audience. Who knows, maybe they will hire some men to screech on social media about the lack of representation.
I do think that would be a good satire with the proper writing, but to be fair for as sappy as it is I remember talking to some people before Sunday school a few weeks back about how refreshing Hallmark is because it is nice to see movies where two heterosexuals meet and fall in love and there is no lecturing about whatever current woke trend is going on. Although they are getting pressure from LGBT groups, they would be wise to understand who their audience is.
I enjoy reading all kinds of books and occasionally will read a romance novel. Never bothered me that it is a genre fill with female fans. It takes a special kind of arrogance to enter a space and then demand everything revolve around you.
Just because I do not want to go to a gay bar does not mean I hate gay people. Is a question of taste. The same can be applied to any medium, if I have to chose between having gay characters or not I would chose not. This does not mean I would not watch a movie cause they have gays in it but I would not go to watch Brokeback Mountain.
Good points all around.
